A Cooler Climate

For example, they share a temperate climate, although Tennessee’s temperate climate is continental, while Germany’s temperate climate is maritime. Tennessee’s climate is considered continental due to the fact that Tennessee is inland, rather than near an ocean. This results in colder winters and warmer summers. In comparison, Germany possesses a maritime temperate climate because Germany is located near the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. This results in cooler winters and milder summers in comparison

pretty mild climate despite its distance from the equator. Many other places near Europe have coastal mountain ranges which block the warm westerlies, thus causing cooler climates. However, Western Europe does not have any high mountain ranges, so the westerlies can still blow across the region. Southern France has a drier climate because the high-pressure system pushes most moist air northward. This sort of drier climate is the Mediterranean Climate. Whereas in Northern Europe, the climate is usually

The Global System's Effect on Climates The global pattern of climate is affected by: * latitude * land and sea * relief * ocean currents Latitude ======== The Equator receives greater amounts of solar heating than latitudes further north or south. Places therefore nearer the Equator are much warmer than those closer to the Poles. Nearer the Poles precipitation will be more variable with lower temperatures. More will fall as snow

In the article, “National Marine Sanctuaries,” the author’s National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) illustrates the idea that the changing of climate change is changing marine sanctuaries. For example, ocean acidification, warming seawater temperatures and changes in currents and upwelling are all causes of climate change. The Office of National Marine Sanctuaries is looking to see what they can do to change and make the oceans and marine life a better place to live. Argumentation/ Extension

higher compared with the Hat Yai city. Although they share some similarities, there are visible differences between Addis Ababa and Hat Yai cities. The climate in Addis Ababa city is different from the climate in Hat Yai city. This is evident by that Hat Yai city climate is quite hot compared with Addis Ababa. Furthermore, the cooler climate throughout the year makes Addis Ababa comfortable to live. Besides, the temperatures are very constant

about the connection between drought and global warming, the current period of climate change. A 2013 NASA study predicts warmer worldwide temperatures will mean increased rainfall in some parts of the world and decreased rainfall in others, leading to both more flooding and more droughts worldwide. Other scientists question the prediction that there will be more droughts and believe global warming will create a wetter climate around the world. Droughts are also often caused by the activity of humans

are blooming earlier and fish are migrating towards cooler water. These effects are not just a coincidence. Mankind is causing the decline of our earth at a rapid pace from pollution, to cutting downs trees, and countless other activities. This form of climate change is destroying ecosystems, killing wildlife, and damaging our planet. Mankind must take a stand to become more eco friendly and save the earth―before it is too late. Although climate change and global warming are two separate forces, they

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Resulting in Climate Change The Sun is responsible for all of the energy that enters the Earth’s atmosphere. The Earth 's energy is in balance when Earth emits the same amount of energy as it absorbs (Schneider, 1987). But today, the Earth is absorbing more energy than is what is being released due to increases in greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere (Herbert, 2007). Out of the total energy entering the Earth’s atmosphere, as seen in Figure 1, only 30% is being reflected

would either have a higher metabolism during cold climates or a low metabolism in a warm climate. There was a distinct inverse relationship between the thermal environment and metabolic rates found in these rats. The results from the first study indicated that rats were capable of responding to the energetic demands of their thermal environment with metabolic compensations. Throughout development, warm-housed
