Hawaii is more expensive without including the activities to do. Alaska has more to offer with the pretty landscape and Northern lights. In Alaska the hotel is closer to more things to do, you wouldn't have to spend half the day driving to your destination, like you would in Hawaii. Alaska is very different, the sun isn't like how you see it in other states. The sun in Alaska is only out for a couple hours a day, and it only rises about half way up in the sky, unlike Hawaii where the sun is the same as every other state .Hawaii does have a better temperature overall, but Alaska is so different from Hawaii that I feel it would make for a better vacation that you will remember more.
EXERCISE 10 PROBLEMS – PART I The following questions are based on the maps of average January sea-level temperatures (Figure 10-1) and average July sea-level temperatures (Figure 10-2): 1. Is the temperature contrast between the equator and the Arctic region greatest in the winter or summer? Temperature contrast between the equator and the Arctic region is greatest in the winter. Temperatures near or at the equator only change a few degrees between winter and summer, while the Arctic region changes up to 40 degrees between the seasons. 2.
This can make drivers stressed and the condtions make it dangrous. Summer driving is less stressful and overall safer. For some, driving in the winter is as easy as driving in the summer but, for others winter driving is terrifying. If you happen to live far north like i do, where the average snowfall is more than 200 inches a year, driving in the snow is normal. However for someone that has moved from a location that never gets snow to a location that gets large amounts, it can be difficult.
In general, this valley has a dry and mild climate. Summers are dry and tend to be hot. Winters are cool, with occasional light snowfall. Maximum precipitation is in late fall and early winter. However, due to the Cascades, total precipitation quantities are small.
Mid-summer (July-August) is often a bit cooler due to the sea breezes and fog which are normally most strongly developed then (Gildemeister, 2004, p. 109). Gildemeister also mentions the main controlling factor over the characteristics of the Mediterranean climate is the alternating influence of the subtropical high in summer and Westerlies during the winter (p. 111). During the summer, the subtropical high has expanded to its largest extent and most pole ward position, exerting its influence on subtropical west coasts between 30o and 40o N and S latitude. Subsiding air from the high creates stable atmospheric conditions
It grows very well in forest-like environments similar to that of Asia, It enjoys very high summer temperature and loves a lot of rain. However, Kudzu adapts to its environment in areas like pastures, rail embarkments, inland water banks, all areas whether it is natural or semi-natural habitat. Kudzu does not like cold weather. This is probably the reason why the northern states within the USA do not have Kudzu. It can survive frosted soil and is partial to loose soil, but adapts in otherwise less favorable conditions.
In Portland, the climate is considered mild. In the fall, you can expect large amounts of rain and highs in the range of 50-60 degrees. In the winter, it cools down and the rain may be interrupted by a few blustery snow showers, effectively shutting the city down and making commutes a nightmare during the wintry storms. As spring rolls into summer, the skies clear and the sun comes out. With the additional warmth, the landscape comes alive with flowers and everything is bursting with color.
Chapter 7 5) it is an advantage for a migratory eel to have a wide tolerance range for temperature because if the temperature changes rapidly it has a bigger chance to survive other than something that has low tolerance range. 7) Structural- Thick fur coating the bear, it keeps them warm. Behavioral- sitting under the sun when cold, warm up the body. Physiological- shivering, contracting muscles to keep us warm. 8) if the land is hot and dry it won’t get rainforests growing there, meaning that the physical environment will determine the distribution of plants there.

The article “No Babies” by Russell Shorto discusses how the population in Europe is drastically decreasing because the low birth rate and higher death rate. He discusses how the birth to death rate is very unbalanced as well, which is a result of the declining population. European culture is feared be lost due to the fact that the majority of the European population is mainly made up of older generations and few younger. In the article Population “7 Billion”, Robert Kunzig discusses how the population worldwide is increasing drastically. He discusses that although the population is growing, our planet may not have all the resources it needs to accommodate the growing population.
