El Nino Weakens: Here Comes La Nina

118 Words1 Page

Meteorologists are saying that La Nina could be just around the corner. El Nino is weakening, but has been said to stay for just a few more months. After those couple months then we could possibly see the flip side of El Nino. “...it often means dry weather for the U.S. southwest and parts of California which haven’t quite recovered from a four-year drought” (Seth Borenstein, AP science writer, El Nino Weakens, Here Comes La Nina, Meteorologists Say). La Nina tends to also make the number of storms increase in the west. However in the east they will have less snowstorms, but it will be a little colder. La Nina also lasts a little longer than El Nino.

    (Clark, 1941, p. 177). After knowing the sheer power behind nuclear weapons, there is no doubt that the Earth would be quite desolate in a nuclear winter. In addition to the geographical changes, the next aspect of nuclear winter is the rather cold climate that is formed. This means no more tropical climates around the world - everlasting the radioactive fallout in the form of snow. According to the article “How to Survive Nuclear Winter”, it is estimated that “if [nuclear winter] were to happen in July, there would be a 22 degree C drop in mid-latitudes and 10 degree drop in more humid areas” (Roberts, 2007, p. 1).

  • Why Do Americans Use Steroids In Sports

    1107 Words  | 5 Pages

    In major league baseball the late 80’s through early 2000’s can be described as the “Steroid Era”, in which many athletes were caught using performance-enhancing drugs that resulted in higher offensive performance, especially the number of home runs per season. As professional baseball is getting more and more competitive many athletes look to unethical ways to gain physical advantages over other players by taking steroids. For instance, Mark Mcgwire admitted to using steroids and had a phenomenal increase in offensive statistics in 1998 compared to other seasons. In his season of 1998 he broke the baseball single season home run record of 70 home runs, which was far more home runs he had hit compared to previous seasons when he wasn’t

  • Subsidence In California

    334 Words  | 2 Pages

    The cause of all this is the unregulated pumping of groundwater out of aquifers by California 's farmers in the Central Valley. As water is drawn out of these reservoirs, their structural integrity fails and they consequently collapse, causing the land above to sink. Once the aquifers collapse, their maximum capacity is reduced, so they cannot be fully refilled during wet periods. Less water will be stored and pumped, which is a major concern for drought years in the future.
