the vineyard. If the rainstorm did reach the crops‚ he thought there would be a forty percent chance the storm would produce a light rain‚ possibly helping to create the botrytis mold. This mold is very beneficial for this particular crop. More precipitation than a light rain however‚ could swell the berries. This would decrease their sugar concentration‚ making them less valuable‚ or worse‚ it could ruin them all together. All of these different variables would affect the selling price of the crops

with climate change? Well‚ the increased temperatures cause glaciers and polar ice caps to melt more and more cold water enters the ocean’s currents‚ raising sea levels. When the colder ocean currents enter warmer ocean currents‚ the result is precipitation‚ or rain. The more rain that occurs around Myrtle Beach there will be higher chances of flooding‚ erosion‚ an increase in sea levels‚ etc. The rise in sea levels around our beautiful homes can cause harm to everyone living here.

The Desert The desert is a dry barren area of land; it is in the Southwestern United States or areas of extreme heat and dryness. Deserts characteristically receive less than ten inches of precipitation a year. About one fifth of Earth’s surface is desert. Desert can be hot or cold an example of a hot desert is the Australian and an example of a cold desert is the Gobi in Mongolia. Although rain does not fall very often in the desert‚ sometimes
