The heat of summer gives you the feeling after baking something when you put your face in front of the oven as you open the door. That blast of hot, dry air sucking all the moisture from your lungs. It has always made me chuckle when I hear people say, “But it is a dry heat”. The summer

Iowa, and western Indiana had less than half the normal amount of rain over a 30 day period, and the extended dry weather critically hurt production. This unusual drought struck the interest of scientists to use geochemical indicators to revel precipitation levels thousands of years ago to forecast the past of the American West. Researches found through lake sediment cores from the Valles Caldera in northern New Mexico, that southwest America experienced a dramatic climate change during the warm periods

Worksheet: An Inconvenient Truth 1. What is the most vulnerable part of the Earth and why? The most vulnerable part of the earth is the atmosphere. In this movie, Al Gore says that the atmosphere is quite thin. 2. Describe how global warming occurs. The first step to global warming is that the suns heat waves pass through the atmosphere. The next step, which is the problem, is that some heat waves are trapped by the atmosphere. The earth absorbs most of the radiation but only some

GEO 215 Week 3 DQ 3 How will the deforestation of the Earth’s tropical forests affect the Earth’s temperature or climate? Explain. Response #1 Rainforest grows to large heights and it is important because a growth in the sunlight through the forest canopy can lead to species of the forest not surviving. with the forests getting direct sunlight and over 2 inches of rain an hour, the area is hot and humid. Deforestation is where less heat is absorbed and less moisture is released. The plant life
