Figure 1 - Location of Nullarbor Plain Biome: The Nullarbor Plain, whose name in Latin means "no trees", belongs to the Desert and Xeric Shrubland biome, characterized by semi-arid climate with little precipitation and extreme temperature variation. Typically, deserts may see less than 250 mm of precipitation annually and extreme temperatures may range between 0°C and 50°C.(3). Hot deserts occur mostly into belts in the northern and southern hemisphere, between 15° and 35° latitude. (Ref 4)…

Climate change causes changes in temperatures and rain that affect the agriculture. But the effect of the increase or decrease in temperature and rainfall in the agriculture depend on the region or location. The location dictates the soil fertility, therefore the extreme weather such as the heat waves, droughts, strong winds and heavy rains affecting the crop growth varies by region. Droughts in the Great Plains will stress the agriculture by the increase in temperature, less groundwater and…

Global warming since then generally define as a gradually increasing in temperature, which results in changing global climate permanently. Earth 's climate has been negatively influenced by many direct and indirect ways. Humans can severely damage the quality of climate. Most people are not aware that actions contribute to the decay of the Earth through time. Much research has been focused on the effects of global warming, as a direct result of the elevation of carbon dioxide and other…

longer than usual (“Climate Change, Health, Environmental Justice”, n.d.). It typically comes along with the warming or cooling of the average temperature as well as extreme weather. The average temperatures of the Great Lakes are rising and heavy precipitation is becoming even more heavier each…

Global warming is part of the Earth’s natural processes. Just as there have been periods global cooling and periods of global temperature stability. Though these processes are natural and are given to the ebb and flow of the Earth’s rotation, precision, and periodic catastrophic events humankind’s industrial, scientific, and population explosions over the last centuries have had a marked effect on the Earth and how it is understood. As it stands, there are two major trains of thought about…

and they are not found in most grocery stores. “Today’s O’ odham are the descendants of the canal builders.” (Salmon, 83). This explains how people were able to survive within the depths of the Sonora desert with its high temperatures and low precipitation. Some of the most important and traditional dishes of the people of this area are; posole, piki, and tortillas (NAIC, 140). These dishes were presented almost as the “fry breads” of the southwest as they have such historical and societal…

erosion that results in a lost of organic materials and essential nutrients needed for plant growth. Along with slope is exposure of sunlight on vegetation that can also vary growth outcomes. Slopes facing different directions may have similar precipitation amounts but direct sunlight can cause soil moisture to evaporate quicker that then forms a dryer, shady slope. However other…

“Arid climates can be found on every continent. They range from hot and dry deserts that see almost no rain to semiarid scrub land where rain falls intermittently. Arid climates are not suitable for most life forms. Plants and animals that make their homes in arid climates have made special adaptations to the environment.”(Patrick, 2017) While periglacial environments is defined as “Periglacial literally means ‘edge’ of glacial. Periglacial environments are found on the fringes of polar or…

followed by corresponding changes in atmospheric calculation and precipitation . It is related with the asymmetric heating of sea and land. On the other word, monsoon also means rainy phase of pattern that are changing seasonally even though there is dry phase. The annual average of rainfall is 2420 mm for Peninsular Malaysia while for Sabah and Sarawak are 2630 mm. Normally, east coast of Peninsular Malaysia has heavier precipitation recorded and we can see this in history of Malaysia. East…

There are many things that contribute to the creation on the weather we see around us, but all of this would not be possible without air mass. Air mass is defined simply as a massive body of air that is for the most part similar in temperatures and characteristics. Air mass can encompass thousands of kilometers of the Earth’s surface and has been known to acquire the properties of the surface it is covering if it remains there too long. When air masses forms over large surfaces that have…
