SFA Climate and Location Discussion – Question Description
I’m working on a geographic information discussion question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
1. You are one of Shakira’s dancers in her entourage. You are packing for a one-year military USO tour in Iraq or Afghanistan, both inland, non-coastal nations. Briefly describe what type of clothing you might need for that length of stay at such interior sites.
2. You are walking down North Street towards Taco Bell when you’re suddenly approached with a microphone by Jim Cantore, the Weather Channel’s celebrity weight-lifting, roving reporter, asking why East Texas gets so much rain. You tell him you are a better writer than speaker. Briefly summarize in your own words the influence of ocean circulation on nearby inland precipitation in East Texas.
3.You are a guest chef on Rachel Ray’s next off-studio episode, set in Chile. You are having trouble finding fresh water to boil up a Chilean langosta (lobster), caught in the cold current offshore. Briefly summarize in your own words the influence of ocean circulation on nearby land precipitation in the Atacama Desert.
4. Check the current five-day forecast for Vostok, Antarctica and Death Valley, California (links above). Oprah wants to send you as her reporter to film a segment for her next TV special. Which place would you rather visit and why? What temperature ranges would you encounter?
