The people of Florida depend on the Everglades more than they might realize.

Everyone loves the warm weather of the summer. The sun beating down, heating up the once icy ground after a winter with scarcely any reprieve from it’s brutal conditions. Many even travel throughout the colder months to places that experience summer virtually all year long. But at what point does something so wonderful become dangerous? With the temperature at such a prime point for an extended period of time, catastrophic events will begin to occur.…
This analysis compares the precipitation patterns of six different Florida locations: Marathon Shores, Pensacola, Daytona Beach, Tavernier, Chipley, and Libson. All of these locations vary geographically, ranging from the Florida Keys to the Florida Panhandle. Based on the many physical geography theories learned in class so far, it can be asserted that precipitation varies throughout the state of Florida. Indeed, there are many factors that influence precipitation levels: convection, cold fronts, proximity to the ocean, and frequency of hurricanes. Of course, these are not the only factors that influence precipitation levels, but they are a major part of the process.…
It is too bad that most years the temperatures are soaring around this…
Imagine you are walking in a parking lot and notice a toddler alone in a parked car. Is he or she okay? Where is the child’s parent? What would you do?…
In a 2016 article entitled “Changing Climate” the author Thomas Sumner discusses a variety of topics that revolve around how humans have impacted the Earth’s climate. “Changing Climate” examines climate change research, ocean circulation, hurricane research, and geology and climate. This article uses past and present research to validate the importance of these issues to create a well written exploration of human’s effect on the climate. Despite the fact that there is not a lot of data about what Earth’s environment was like before the early 1900’s, Sumner makes a compelling argument about how humans have had a negative influence on their surroundings. Sumner looked at several aspects of climate change and how it affects the world and…
In the last fifteen years, dozens of people have died from the sheer heat. Death Valley is one of the few places on Earth…
Global Warming and Its Effects on Maryland Today, global warming is evident all over the globe. Luckily, our society has the technology to analyze its effects and can come up with ideas and tools people can implement to slow this damaging and frightening process down. Already, Maryland is the 3rd state most at risk for global warming and climate change. Specifically in Maryland, global warming has definitely become a visible threat to their economy; global warming is effecting their tourist count and the amount of usable shoreline land. Luckily, the federal and Maryland’s state government have provided citizens with insightful facts and easy ways to help adapt to the changes that come with global warming.…
While up in Washington D.C, I had packed shorts, tank tops and typical warm weather clothing due to the fact it had been summer, and those are typically hot in Florida. Walking through the outside areas of Fair Fax County at night I had found that during the day it is almost 90 degrees during the day and low 60s in the night time. I was flabbergasted, how could it be this cold in the summer…
Introduction Western Port Bay is a coastal region located in the south of Victoria which opens up into the Bass Strait. It is one of the most biologically diverse areas in the state, being home to x amount of species of flora and fauna. Westernport Bay has a coastal climate, with high rainfall and mild temperatures when compared with the rest of Victoria. The purpose of this fieldwork investigation was to explore the social, economic and environmental impacts of climate change on Westernport Bay.…
With all the crime, wild nature, flooding, bad drivers, and stormy weather, the only thing about south Florida that is hot is the hot steamy weather, (Barry,…
apable effects of a warming world. Miami, and major parts of Florida are a great risk from the earth’s changing climate as the rising oceans threaten to swallow most of the southern half of the state. Tensions between Bangladesh and India intensify as the rising sea water threatens to displace millions of people, with India’s only solution to the issue being to build a larger border. “The Siege of Miami”, written by Elizabeth Kolbert, paints a terrifying portrait of the consequences of rising sea levels with its effect on human populations. Using scientific evidence as well as with her own personal experiences, she graphically illustrates how climate change is dramatically changing the face of Miami.…
Much of North America experienced a severe heat wave in July 2006, which contributed conditioners .to the deaths of over 140 people,…
Some regions of the world have warmed by more than twice this amount. The article “Effect of Global Warming. Signs are Everywhere” posted on National Geographic gives some prediction if warmer weather happens for a long time, it will lead to many serious effects in our environment such as: • Hurricanes and other storms are likely to become stronger • Floods and droughts will become more common • Some disease will spread , such as malaria carried by mosquitoes •…
The 1980 Heat Wave in the United States Disasters, as the word suggests, is a phenomenon that actually tends to spell a doom on the regular routine of an entire society and depending upon its size and effects it can even cause a change in the working process of an entire country. Basically, when something big happens that we cannot stop or cannot change is known as a disaster. Every year, millions of people are affected by the natural disasters and man-made disasters (Georgian Med News, 2011). In this paper, we will discuss about a natural disaster that took place in the United States and the studies in Disasters preparedness.…
