Humans have tried to predict the weather for millions of years. Our ancestors monitored changes in their environment along with the behaviour of animals to help them predict the weather. Through development of our understanding‚ of the atmospheric patterns and the relationship to weather dynamics‚ today it is much easier to forecast a more accurate weather prediction. To better understand the mechanisms which control our weather and climate‚ we have to look at the Earth’s atmosphere. In particular

In Jacksonville Florida we experience five major types of severe weather storms. The five severe storms that are experienced are hurricanes‚ thunderstorms‚ flash floods‚ lightning‚ and tornadoes. If we were to build in arena in Jacksonville then the chances that one of those severe weather storms will hit that area are quit high. Hurricanes are also called typhoons in the western Pacific and cyclones in Australia and the Indian Ocean. Hurricanes form over tropical oceans; they need the warm air

Science vs. Nature What is weather? Weather is the heat of the sun that shines through a window. It is the mist on a foggy morning. It can also be a deadly storm that wipes away a house. Weather is not something people can control but that does not mean that they can not protect themselves from it. That is why we have technology. Using weather instruments such as radars‚ satellites‚ and computers‚ forecasters can predict when and where certain storms will occur. Throughout the years protecting

What? And How? 1. How is lightning formed? Cumulonimbus clouds must become electrically charged therefore‚ in most rain clouds the bottom of the rain cloud is negatively charged and the top is positively charged. Lightning is created as a discharge of built up energy due to the separation of positive and negative charges which are generated inside the thunderstorm. 2. How are tornadoes formed? Tornadoes form in unusually violent thunderstorms when there is sufficient instability‚ and wind shear

But‚ what’s circulating in air among people of UK is about the miserable “Wet Summers”; that we have face.

One major Problem migrants had to face when travelling west was severe weather‚ however they could do nothing to prevent this‚ just be prepared and ready for anything to come. Severe weather such as rain‚ sandstorms‚ quicksand‚ snow and harsh winds made life very hard for these migrants on the move. Some people weren’t prepared and this weather meant food was limited as reaching

through and its not too extreme. The Goldilocks principle states that something must fall within certain margins‚ as opposed to reaching extremes. The Goldilocks principle is derived from a children’s story "The Three Bears" in which a little girl named Goldilocks finds a house owned by three bears. Each bear has their own preference of food and beds. After testing all three examples of both items‚ Goldilocks determines that one of them is always too much in one extreme (too hot or too large)‚

Extreme Sports Have you ever done something so extreme‚ that you’ve actually risked your life for it maybe? If so‚ why did you do it? Maybe to prove a point‚ but to who? Many people actually feel like they must make that impact in the world and prove a point to everyone else about being able to accomplish something maybe no one else could.

What makes a person significant? This is the question I struggled with when I started brainstorming ideas for this paper. I racked my brain for a profound moment that I shared with someone important to me and I came up empty. Part of me almost felt disappointed. Why couldn’t I come up with anything relatively interesting to discuss? After much contemplation‚ I decided that I needed to change my way of thinking. I was looking for some extraordinary‚ life changing moment‚ but perhaps my extraordinary
