The Potomac adds more moisture to the air and the weather, creating more potential for precipitation and a variety of other weather events (Weather Underground, 2011). The record precipitation for a single day during this time of year is still under an inch, however, and ultimately many of the disparate weather effects that various factors have in this area appear to essentially negate each other -- weather is relatively mild year-round, with few disturbances of note even in the past several years (National Weather Service, 2011).
The possible human impact on the climate and weather patterns at Gaithersburg also are difficult to understate, although these effects might not be especially direct and are in fact more global and cumulative in their ultimate results. Global warming brought about by the high and increasing use of fossil fuels by citizens of the United States and other countries is believed to create greater weather instability and volatility simply by adding more energy to the equation, and also by altering patterns such as the North Atlantic Current in ways that are not fully understood (Rowe et al., 2011). Urbanization can also have a major impact on weather development, and the actions in one region could potentially have an effect on the weather in another region. This is one of the reasons that it is so essential to limit human impacts on the
An understanding of the weather is till a very important thing to develop despite this lack of major events, as such knowledge has intrinsic value and can also help extrinsically in the planning of a variety of things, from events to resource allocation. It is hoped that the brief details proved here increased the reader's understanding of weather, however slightly.

There are, however, a number of types of caves that are formed through different processes (even volcanic action). A new theory says that some caves (about 5%) are caused through the action of sulfuric acid produced by microbial life. In this theory, microbes consume materials, oils, etc. And release hydrogen sulfide gas, which then in turn rises through rocks and combines with groundwater to produce sulfuric acid, which then
Winds had been blowing from the south and southeast all day, but at 22:00 the wind had shifted to the northeast and had dropped to 9km/hr, accompanied by a drop in temperature and pressure and a rise in relative humidity. Wednesday, November 23rd Weather stayed relatively stable throughout the day on Wednesday, with temperatures ranging only from five to seven degrees Celsius throughout the day. Cloud cover was complete and consisted
Weather "From the beginning, slowness defined it. Tedious, plodding, grinding, unrelenting slowness…And when the storm system took an unexpected turn as it spread into the central Plains, the table was set for violent weather," (Hoedel & Gutierrez, 2012). Hoedel & Gutierrez (2012) are describing the mysterious origins of the 2011 Joplin, Missouri tornado, one of the deadliest in American history. After its tumultuous journey "down the Pacific Coast, across the California
Weather and Construction: Las Vegas Valley The Las Vegas Valley, including the cities of Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas is the fastest growing region in the United States. Some reports indicate that ten thousand people move to the city every month with a mere four thousand leaving. The result is that the city is growing by six thousand people every month. The valley's permanent population currently exceeds one million people,
Following the introduction, the report discusses framing issues, including international policy. The social and international context of global climate change is given a great deal of emphasis in this section. The relationship between climate change and sustainable development are also discussed in the framing concepts section of this report. This concept is important in order to deal with climate change because sustainable development models are what most of the development
Weather Underground Background- During almost every major conflict in United States history there have been protests against involvement in that conflict. However, it was not until the Vietnam "Police Action" of the 1960s and 1970s that so much popular student protests coalesced into such a popular uprising that it had a significant effect upon foreign policy. Really, though, it was not just the U.S. presence in Vietnam that caused the protests,
