Whenever the sun is approaching a stage of high turbulence, this is frequently referred to as Solar Maximum. Some scientists say its peak in this particular activity will be by the year 2013. The sun has begun to awaken and the technological society has come up with the exceptional sensitivity to the astrophysical storms. The people in the 21st century usually depend on high-tech methods for their usual day to day living. Smart Power Grids, GPS Navigation, Air Travel, Financial Services, and the Emergency radio communication have been affected by the excess solar activities. The direction of the sun over the horizon called The Angle Of Incidence dictates the quantity of the energy that reaches the earth (Hamblin, p. 122).
The existing wind is usually from the western side of New York State. A southwest constituent becomes clear in winds all through the warmer months whereas a northwest constituent is an attribute of the cooler part of the year. Infrequently, well-developed hurricane systems travelling transversely in the continent or down the Atlantic seaboard often do so together with physically powerful winds. This action results in substantial assets smashed up over large sections of the state. An exceptional outcome of physically powerful cyclonic winds that come from the southwest is the increase of water to unusually lofty heights at the end of Lake Erie that is found on the northeastern section of New Jersey. Thunderstorms take place for about one month annually all over the state. Destructive winds in addition to lightning that hits in confined areas are frequent in the strong warm-season downpours (Shipman, p. 25).
The number of the people living in New Jersey who are affected by the floods increase every year. The effects of the strong precipitation usually appear in two weeks after heavy rainfall, this enhances the number of mosquito population and the subsequent increase the number of the malaria infections. The large downpour that occurs usually causes the transmission in a notable manner that originates from the cumulative precipitation. These heavy rains have been known to increase the number of the interactions of human beings and the mosquitoes and this increases the chances of the mosquito bites that are known to cause malaria infection. Some researches have shown that heavy downpour in New Jersey has increased deaths have been registered during the times when the humidity is high especially to the children who are below age due to the effect of disease (Shipman, p. 38).
Global warming is a section of the physical cycle in the scenario of the changes in the climate. This has been confirmed by the geological records. Nevertheless, the activities that are carried out by human beings have been realized as one of the greatest effects on the weather. The increase in the global warming has resulted to the more circulations that are characterized by different patterns of the ocean’s deep water. These circulations cause climate changes which affects the universal supply of animals and also the vegetation. The effects of the global warming has also had a great effect on the behavior of the animals, for example, the general weather pattern is warm, hot, dry and sometimes wet. The uncommon weather patterns experienced in the area due to global warming are related to the infrequent breeding times and can be explained as follows: during the fall and winter, the temperature is very normal. But the times when the heavy rains fall for a duration of time, then ceases, after which the ensuing days are characterized by the strong warmth during the months of winter, animals usually get mixed up by the desertion of the thermal system and this signals the parietals and the system of the endocrine that have to be dealt with (Hewitt, p. 201).
New Jersey has an abundance of geological features in the period of about one billion years. The increase of the solid service of the earth that includes the floor of the oceans, gives a better way to introduce plate tectonic. The outer shell of the earth subdivides into several pieces that are found on the earth’s surface. The motion of the plate boundaries causes earthquakes and also the activities of the volcanoes. The deviating plate boundaries are found in the oceans basins and they are noticeable by big submarine mountain ranges that are known as the Mid Ocean Ridges or the Seafloor or the Spreading Centers. The centre of the Atlantic oceans has Mid Ocean ridges which are clear on the global map. In my opinion I think in the next 50 million years, New Jersey will be prone to so many earthquakes and landslides and this will make it unfit for human and also animal existence. The city may also submerge to the Atlantic Ocean and become part of the ocean thus making the state extinct (Tillery, p. 57).
The electric cars generally are powered by the on board battery packs that are like the battery electric vehicles. In spite of the electric vehicles having a good speeding up, its battery energy capacity in comparison to the fossil fuel, shows that electric cars have poor capacity between the charges and recharging them take more time. The electric vehicles have the capability to largely decrease the congestion of the city by getting zero TailPipe Emissions. Electric vehicles have the energy efficiency because the vehicles have been powered by the combustion engine that is interior and it functions by low efficiencies, this is because the heat it produces cannot be changed into mechanical energy by the use of the heat engine (Lutgens, p. 201).
Electric vehicles are more convenient than any other car that has ever been assembled in human history. It is very fast and it usually saves on time and this is the reason why they should be allowed for public means. It moves on electricity and it releases no dangerous discharges and they are projected American knowledge to the first line of the automotive production. The few people who have driven it have never desired to surrender it. What should be introduced is the change to the patent laws to enable the prosecution of the criminals and also the penalties against the holders of the patent who may engage in the activities that cause suppression of the technology that would in any case have great promises towards the benefits of the human beings (Lutgens, p. 98).
In order to reduce the dependence of oil in the United States, the millions of the vehicles that are made today should have a minimum of approximately 5 percent of the vehicles operating on natural gases; this will reduce the consumption of the oil in the transport industries. This will also allow the manufactures a reduction of the tax credits of about $1000 for every car for a period of about five years. An energy bill should be discussed in order to reduce oil imports and also introduce some other sources of the energy supply. The Americans should use some improvised technology in order to improve the energy conservation and efficiency through the energy products that are renewable. They should introduce sources of energy like ethanol and also authorize funds so as to move the hydrogen powered vehicles.
Though not all the places that usually experience four seasons, we have different types of seasons in the universe. The earth usually rotates in space rotating like a top around the sun on its own axis. The various seasons are as a result of the tilting of the earth on its own axis in relation to the sun which it usually rotates. The planet earth tilts at 23.5 degrees in regards to the ecliptic axis. The tilt is more in the Northern Hemisphere in the month of June and this results in the season of summer called the Summer Solstice. Seasons are as a result of the inclination of the planet due to the rotational axis in relation to the plane of rotation round the sun (Tillery, p. 69).
The axis of Mars is tilted at an angle of 25.19 degrees that is closer to earth. This explains the reason as to why there are three seasons on Mars. The seasons are not pleasant and the temperatures drop up to -125 degrees Celsius. And its summers are colder as compared to earth. On the other hand mercury has no seasons, this is because it has no tilts which is the major cause of the existence of the seasons (Merritts, p. 35).
