global climate change is widely considered fact. Studies have shown that the world’s average surface temperature has been accelerated by human activities which has led to the increase in production of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, chiefly carbon dioxide, methane and CFCs. The repercussions of this phenomenon are the increase of global sea levels, the thinning of the ozone layer, changes of annual precipitation, and an overall increase in variability and intensity of seasons, climate and weather
Each location on the earth is unique and its climate is determined principally by its latitude, elevation, longitude and distance from the sea. The regular northward and southward “passage of the sun” provides the strongest driving force for variability in the climate system .The annual cycle of seasonal conditions and the equally familiar diurnal cycle of night and day are the strongest regulators of human and indeed all living behaviours. Despite the overall persistence of the seasonal rhythm in
INTRODUCTION In the entire world, Climate change has become a big challenge and it has a negative impact on our day to day life. In the case of Nigeria, climate change has affected it due to its vulnerability and low coping capacity, a developing country like Nigeria with a population of almost 185 million is likely to be affected adversely. But then let me explain briefly the meaning climate and what COP 21 is all about. Climate change is an environmental threat which the entire world is facing
Africa is a considered as being the most struggling continent of earth. It is a continent counting today 1.8 billion inhabitants. Africa is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, the Southern Atlantic Ocean, the Northern Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Red Sea. It is full of natural resources. Africa is not developing as fast as it should. Why is that? Why is this big continent left behind with all potentials? What are its nations not doing right? Answering these question may require to look
Have you ever heard of the grasslands? Well if not, here you will learn all about the animals, plants, climate changes and the environmental danger in the grasslands. You can find this biome in North America, South America, Africa, Europe and in Australia. When rainy seasons arrive many grasslands become coated with flowers and some flowers survive throughout the winter. Also there are two different types of grasslands. They are tropical and temperate. Grasslands go by many names like prairies, pampas
Savanna is a biome that is located between tropical rainforest biome and desert biome. It is mainly found in Africa, South America, India and Australia. The Savanna biome is an area with very dry season and very wet season. Savanna is mostly grass with few scattered trees. It covers half of the surface of Africa, large areas of Australia, India and South America. Savanna is created because of hadley cells. Hadley cells are when it rains a lot in the rain forest, the amount of rains will decrease
upside down. Europe saw its chance to expand into Africa and, as a result, Europe gained many benefits. This was known as imperialism, action by which one country controls another country. Europe achieved great political power, obtained more wealth and cheap labor. Imperialism brought both positive and negative effects to African societies; it changed their culture, their economy and the politics of their countries. As Europeans worked their way into Africa, they brought with them western civilization
PART B1 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WINE COUNTRY. The wine in question is a 2012 Meerlust Rubicon, this wine is from South Africa. The topography of South Africa. Due to the Drakensburg mountain range, the weather is affected rather majorly, due to the mountain range affecting the way the winds blow in certain areas of South Africa, for example the Berg or Fohn winds that blow over the Western Cape region, are very warm, and affect the weather in this area, thus affecting the soils and growing conditions
Water Crisis in Africa Water makes up seventy percent of Earth’s surface. In several countries, there are many people that struggle for fresh water, for example Africa. Countries that do have the privilege of having fresh water should help the countries that struggle. With the help of others, fewer people will suffer from the lack of clean water. Africa and Asia itself have 5.5 million people that die from waterborne diseases. Waterborne diseases are caused from the lack of clean water. There are
