Hurricane Sandy hit New York on 29th October 2012. Causes of the hurricane include the water in the Atlantic Ocean was 3 degrees hotter than normal. This is due to climatic change; the extra heat in the water was a major cause of the hurricanes formation. Warm water is vital in the formation; the water helped intensify the storm and enabled it to produce more rain. Another factor includes the rising sea levels; these enabled the storm to be much more damaging storm surge than before.
Its bowl-like geography causes an entrapment of fog, air pollution and much of the horrible heat waves that are present during summer months. The San Joaquin Valley is hot and dry in summer with long, sunny days. Winters are moist and often blanketed with heavy fog. Due to San Joaquin Valley’s geography Tule fog is often a problem during the winter. Tule fog is a very thick fog that collects in parts of California during the rainy season of the late fall and winter.
The swimmer: John Cheever QUESTIONS: 1. How is setting used symbolically in the story? Focus on such details as the change in weather and specific locales such as the highway and the public pool. ANSWER: Setting is used symbolically in the story in many ways. For example pg 23 paragraph 2, “In the west there was a massive stand of cumulus cloud so like a city seen from a distance—from the bow of an approaching ship.” That is symbolically used as it’s cloudy and it will probably thunderstorm.
With its long coastline and location, Florida frequently finds itself in the path of these intense storms. The southeast coastline is extremely susceptible to a land-falling hurricane, followed by the panhandle. Areas around Tampa, Jacksonville and the Big Bend do not have as high of a risk of a direct strike from a hurricane but are still susceptible to a landfall each year. Even if the hurricane makes landfall elsewhere in the state, the impacts can be felt hundreds of miles away. Some scientists say the wave of hurricanes is the product of global warming spurred by greenhouse gases from cars and industries.
We should be concerned about this phenomenon because we never know when the climate may change again it may be cold one minute then next it may be so hot that it may be unbearable to stand. Crops getting destroyed, people falling over because of the heat wave. The word Flip-Flop is used to describe a climate change when it happens. Calvin claims that conditions in the North Atlantic Ocean are at the center of concern over climate flip-flop and here are the conditions and why they were caused and why were they dangers: If the climate switches then it can disrupt the food-supply routine and only two percent of the ninety-eight percent can eat. The system allows for a large urban population in the best of time, but not in the case of widespread disruptions.
Also claiming that Ferry was on his personal time when the accident happen because it happened after he left a pawnshop before is afternoon run. The court denied Netties appeal because Ferry was what the court considered employed by Netties because he was required to follow certain standards and Nettie's gave him the list of deliveries he had to do. Also the accident happened while Ferry was in route to the shop for his afternoon run. The fact that he was leaving the pawnshop was irrelevant because he was on his way to Netties to do his daily duties. Since Ferry was considered employed and in route to Netties the court denied the appeal concluding that Nettie's either controlled or had the right to control the manner in which Ferry Performed the duties for which he was employed.
Hurricanes need the ocean’s water temperature to be about 80 degrees to a depth of about 150 feet. Another factor of the forming of hurricanes is the rapid cooling of the warm water vapors that were evaporated, which causes condensation (the second step of the water cycle). The third step of the water cycle is precipitation and that happens when too many water vapors are condensed and rain starts to fall. Humidity is also needed in the

It is already quarter to ten at night after I have drop of my last fare off a restaurant just by the corner of Swanston Street just in the CBD district, I decide to wrap up for the day and go home for a good nights rest as I lived just around Sandringham Beach as I want to start driving my cab early in the morning the next day. While I am gently cruising, trying to get out of the CBD area, I got flag by another customer as I realize that I have forgot to switch of the vacant sign on the taxi, but anyway while I am stopping for him, he was holding onto a brown parcel and looking tensed from my view. I was not that suspicious as I guessed it is probably the gusty wind blowing as the temperature dropped to a mere eight degree Celsius. I let him into my cab, no matter as he is dressing very decently and he told me that he want to be taken back to his apartment just by Brighton Beach. As I drove off from the traffic junction, I noticed that he is fidgeting,
We want to feel safe again to walk from our homes to the car or from the bus stop home without the fear that someone maybe be watching and waiting to attack. This has also been the case for the return of businesses in the area, many business owner feel adequate lighting in parking area is necessary for survival and growth. Customer will not support businesses with inadequate lighting around the building. Another obvious reason for the streetlights is so that people can see the business as they drive through the neighborhoods or ride the bus. The economy cannot grow if there are no people supporting businesses.
