3. The coldest temperature ever recorded was a negative 126.9 degrees fahrenheit in Vostok Station, Antarctica. 4. Between evaporation and falling as precipitation, a droplet of water may travel thousands of miles. 5.
The temperature ranges from 50 to 60 degrees in the summer and drop below freezing in the winter. Winters are very long, lasting from October to May. Rainfall averages about 11 to 12 inches a year. Because of these cold temperatures, poor and rocky soil and low CO2 levels, plants have a hard time surviving and must adapt. The plants that do last here are ones that grow close to the ground like shrubs, wildflowers, mosses, bear grass, and lichen.
Also, the excessive manure present in rainwater runoff during heavy storms cannot be called “agricultural stormwater discharges.” In C.A.R.E v Southview Farms, “The run-off was primarily caused by the over-saturation of the fields rather than the rain and that sufficient quantities of manure were present so that the run-off could not be classified as "stormwater. "” (1994). Therefore, Northfield Farms is in violation of the CWA for its disposal method of waste products as well as the manner in which waste floods surrounding private property.

The weather in the US had 4 separate seasons. We only had 2 in Vietnam. The first time I felt the cold weather of winter, but I could not see and touch snow because it did not have snow in Florida. It was super hot in summer, but it felt more comfortable than the hot in Vietnam. Also, here is very clean, and I did not see many trashes like in Vietnam.
Cook County gets an average of 35 inches of rain per year compared to the U.S. average of 37 inches. The snowfall averages 29 inches. The average U.S. city gets 25 inches of snow per year. Air quality is rated moderate to good depending on the geographic location of each community within the county and water quality is also rated moderate to good (City-data, 2012). Population Economic Status According to the 2010 census, Cook County is the second largest county in the United States.
60 percent of our water supply comes from the snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada Mountains, providing drinking water for 22 million people and over 600,000 acres of farmland. But since the rise in temperatures, the snow hasn’t come to melt into streams and reservoirs. So this means that water is gradually
The hemlock woolly adelgid is in the same species and is very similar to the balsam, and does exactly the same things only on hemlock trees. So, BWA is free from natural enemies that keep the pest under control in its native range. Three adaptations the balsam woolly adelgid has acquired by living in Minnesota is that it can live in cold and humid temperatures because it had a waxy wool-like material to cover its body, it’s very small so it doesn’t have any predators, and there are so many of them it’s hard to kill them all. It also is a threat to Minnesota ecosystems because in some localities, firs are slowly being eliminated from the ecosystem; and adelgid populations continue to spread to previously uninfested areas. It caused the gaunting of branch nodes and the terminal growth of
These factors help influence the climate of Blueberry. The town is located in the inland portion of southern Texas. This area has hot summers and warm winters where the temperature rarely reaches freezing and there is very little snow. The area also receives little rain in the spring months so there are droughts every few years. Because of the lack of precipitation, the land is mostly grasslands with few trees.
The western slopes of the mountains get lots of snow. The northeastern plains have very cold winters and cool summers. The frost free season on the coast is the longest in Canada, averaging more than 200 days. Agriculture Farmland accounts for only 3% of BC's area, yet it still contributes majorly to the provinces economy. As in most mountainous areas the flood plains , terraces and deltas of the rivers and valleys have good soils where crops can be grown(2).
Pine can only be infected by basidiospores produced on Ribes plants. These spores are somewhat delicate and short-lived, so spores typically are not dispersed from Ribes to pine more than about 300 meters. However, the Ribes species proved too elusive, difficult to kill and resilient. Also, Pruning is an effective way to fight against white pine blister rust. Branch infections are not too serious; stem infections are — they are often lethal.
