Russian Heat Wave and Pakistan Floods
The article of "The Great Russian Heat Wave and Pakistani Floods" by Dr Jeff Master is actually talking about the two main causes of Russian heat wave 2010 and Pakistani floods.Based on the discussion of article, the first reason is European heat wave of 2003 which was shifted by the jet stream. The jet stream is actually the high level river of air, between of 30,000 to 40,000 feet.Jet stream has two kinds: one is strong "subtropical" jet that blows across southern Europe and another is weak "polar" jet that blows across northern Europe.The polar jet stream also acts as boundary between warm and cold air.For this reason, polar jet stream creates drier weather.As a result, 35,000-50.000 people died because of European heat wave on 2003 and also in 1936 ,the highest temperature has recorded in 15 U.S states for north America heat wave. In July 2010,strong polar jet stream developed warm weather over the European Russia and prevented rain bearing low pressure systems.The low pressure system reached Pakistan shifting as heavy rainfalls which was created most devastating floods at regular weather.On the other hand, the second reason is human caused climate change. However,human activities are changing the total regular behavior of climate models through the global warming.
Is the 1936 date correct? We all need to check.
ReplyDeleteAs for organizing this around reasons...you could either make the first reason shorter (we forgot it was even there),....or use some transition words like (ask Althea)...or break this paragraph into three sections (intro, reason one, reason two).
At the end, when you give your "on the other hand" and "however," we think should take out the phrases (where is the first "on the one hand"?) and make the final thought about human activities one sentence...since they cancel each other out (talk to Naomi. She really wants to work on this with you. She is excited to hear more about your revision. Facebook her.)
Thanks professor to read my blog.I see, i did mistake in diagrammatically.I will correct myself.I will also practice on transition words.
