As seen on figure 7, the Rocky Mountains are high lying, therefore prone to snow and glacial ice, because of climate change; this will heat up and melt, this will then cause a massive avalanche and cause harm to the villages and towns surrounding it and possibly the skiers/snowboarders on the slopes. In a summery season, the Rocky Mountains will have a lot of landslides; because this mountain is ‘rocky’ it will then cause mass destruction of rocks falling down the mountain damaging the villages and towns. The Pacific coastline has a high potential to landslides, this is due to erosion, and the rocks will start to erode way from the sea withering the rock, and then
In Northeast Asia, temperate deciduous forests monthly temperatures are a few degrees above freezing due to warmth carried from the sea being close by. 3.) Dynamic equilibrium is “when a system displays unrepeated average states through time” 4) Deciduous forests become dormant during winter months by losing their leaves and sealing the pores where the leaves were attached with a protective layer called a “leaf scar”. If this process did not take place, the water in the leaves would freeze forming ice thus damaging
BRP highly recommends that all ATV drivers take a training course. For safety and training information, see your dealer or call the ATV Safety Institute at 1-800-887-2887. ATVs can be hazardous to operate. For your safety: always wear a helmet, eye protection, and other protective clothing. Never carry passengers on any ATV not specifically designed by the manufacturer for such use.
Wisconsin Wisconsin is vulnerable to a wide range of hazards, Natural hazards such as floods, tornadoes, winter storms and excessive heat have caused injuries, loss of life, disruption of essential services, considerable property damage and crop damage. Being as though Wisconsin tends to have more tornadoes than any of these other hazards (according to sources), I am going to focus on what a tornado is and how they affect the state of Wisconsin. A tornado is a relatively short- lived storm composed of an intense rotating column of air, extending from a thunderstorm cloud system. It is nearly always visible as a funnel, although its lower end does not necessarily touch the ground. Average winds in a tornado are somewhere between 100 and 200 miles per hour, but some may have winds exceeding 300 miles per hour.
Deserts however can become cold at night or be cold almost all the time like the Atacama Desert which is off the coast of Peru. Deserts do not get much precipitation; the amount they get is not enough to support growth of most plants you see in other places. Deserts usually receive less than 10 inches of rainfall a year. This means that the land is very dry and barren and more water evaporates than is produced. Glacial regions on the other hand have lots of water usually in the form of ice.

Introduction Research Methods and Materials Results Discussion Acknowledgements References Page 4 Page 5 - 6 Page 7 Page 8 Page 9 Page 10 Page 11 3 Introduction On a cold winter’s morning there’s one question that thousands of drivers across the country try to answer, “What’s the quickest way to get the ice of my windshield?” In the absence of some type of scrapping tool what could one use to accelerate the melting process Water or Salt? The scope of the problem is far reaching because temperatures vary and the amount of water
Another reason for this to occur would be the effect of weather on the roads. If the roads are icy it can affect the cars ability to stop, which can lead to a vehicle rear-ending a buggy in these conditions. If the buggy lanes were to be put into place, the amount of collisions would decrease significantly because the buggy would not be traveling in the same lane as the
ABSTRACT Global warming causes many changes in weather patterns including greater temperature variability and more extreme temperatures. In this study we examined the damage and recovery in Aesculus glabra (Ohio buckeye) in Trelease Woods after a late frost in the spring of 2007, potentially caused by global warming. 1) If temperature and wind gradients directly affect the pattern of damage and recovery of Ohio buckeye, then as the distance of Ohio buckeye from the forest edge increases the percent leaf damage done by frost will decrease. 2) If the total leaf area available for photosynthesis in an Ohio buckeye directly affects its recovery from frost damage, then as percent leaf damage increases, recovery (based on percent canopy fullness,
Biomes and Climate Change by vburnin The biome I researched is the arctic tundra 1. Climate change has had several impacts on the abiotic factors of the arctic tundra. One of these factors is the length of the seasons, winters begin late and springs come earlier. It has been observed that changing world temperatures effect colder places the most. Rising temperatures in the arctic tundra have led more permafrost and snow to melt than usual causing the tundra to be converted to wetlands.
January 7, 2015 Extreme Cold Weather Services for Homeless People Homeless people are the population most at risk for frost bite and hypothermia from cold weather conditions according to Environment Canada. Council's policy is that the Medical Officer of Health (MOH) calls an Extreme Cold Weather Alert when Environment Canada forecasts that the overnight temperature will reach -15 or colder in the City of Toronto. He can also call an Alert at warmer temperatures when the official weather forecast includes factors that increase the impact of cold weather on health, such as wind chill, precipitation, low daytime temperatures, or several days and nights of cold weather in a row. When an Extreme Cold Weather Alert is called by the
