Equatorial The equatorial‚ hot‚ wet‚ climate is found between 5 degrees north and 10 degrees south of the equator.

More specifically‚ ocean acidity can be looked at very closely to determine the severity of the situation of climate change‚ and how it is consistently affecting our planet’s marine

Introduction: The eleven Finger Lakes were created from ancient rivers that originated from Canada that flowed across the western part of New York. A wide chain of comparatively fragile rocks lay east and west where the Ontario and Mohawk valleys are now. The tributaries from Canada “cut down faster and captured‚ or ‘beheaded‚’ the rocks” because they were much more fragile. This erosion developed the depressions that initiated the Ontario and Mohawk valleys (Fairchild‚ 165). When the last glacier
