Where is a warm and sunny place to live in Northern California? Preferably close to the Oregon border.?
I'm looking to move to a warm city in Northern California. Since all of my family lives in Washington State, I'd like to stay as close to the Oregon border as possible. I'm looking for a safe place to live that is sunny almost year round. Somewhere with a community college in town, and a university close by. Can anybody give me some suggestions on a pleasant place? I'm twenty years old and It's my first time moving away from my family so proper research is important to making this first experience memorable. Thanks!
If the USA was divided into 3 regions (East, Central, and West), what states would each region contain?
The 3 regions would probably better be organzied likewise:NORTH: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wisconsin. Includes the District of Columbia.SOUTH: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. Includes Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.WEST: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Includes American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
Meteorlogy careers & Meteorologist?
theres several different routes you can take. if you're smart and you like studying and writing papers, you can go to grad school and do research on all different types of stuff: global warming, hurricanes, severe storms, weather models, everyday forecasting techniques. If you like forecasting, you can become a forecaster and either go into the private sector (work for companies like accuweather, weather channel or lots of other small companies) or work for the government (nat'l weather service or air force/navy). Its up to you, private sector doesnt pay very well, but its easier to get into and you can forecast right away. the weather service is presitgous and pay very well, but its tough to get in, requires you to be willing to work pretty much anywhere in the country, and you'll have to work your way up to a forecaster position. Then, there's always TV (although you said you don't want to do that). Also, you can work for a Environmental company doing something like consultation or studying air pollution or groundwater contamination but it won't be forecasting and it could be rather boring. From my experience, you'll find out what you like when you're in college. This is when many of my friends realized that they either (a) wanted to go to grad school because they really enjoyed a particular area of meteorology and wante dto study it further or (b) really loved forecasting and we're willing to move someplace new and exciting to take a job for a TV station, private company or weather service job. Being a meteorologist is definitely fun. You learn something new everyday; the weather is never truly "the same" and you see cool stuff; either on radar, in person or from reports. Its challenging and confusing at times, but when you help people out, you get a great deal of satisfaction from that. Most meteorologist are laid back people who enjoy all different type of weather and are easy to work with. Almost every meteorologist I've met has wanted to be one since they were very young and few have regretted their choice to become one! Hope this helps and good luck with your studies! Don't give up if you truly want to do it!
Can you identify all 50 American states on a map?
Yup. I also know every state capital by heart, thanks to my father, a geography buff who used to quiz my brother and me on state capitals during long car trips.Alabama (Montgomery)Alaska (Juneau)Arizona (Phoenix)Arkansas (Little Rock)California (Sacramento)Colorado (Denver)Connecticut (Hartford)Delaware (Dover)Florida (Tallahassee)Georgia (Atlanta)Hawaii (Honolulu)Idaho (Boise)Illinois (Springfield)Indiana (Indianapolis)Iowa (Des Moines)Kansas (Topeka)Kentucky (Frankfort)Louisiana (Baton Rouge)Maine (Augusta)Maryland (Annapolis)Massachusetts (Boston)Michigan (Lansing)Mississippi (Jackson)Missouri (Jefferson City)Montana (Helena)Nebraska (Lincoln)Nevada (Carson City)New Hampshire (Concord)New Jersey (Trenton)New Mexico (Santa Fe)New York (Albany)North Carolina (Raleigh)North Dakota (Bismarck)Ohio (Columbus)Oklahoma (Oklahoma City)Oregon (Salem)Pennsylvania (Harrisburg)Rhode Island (Providence)South Carolina (Columbia)South Dakota (Pierre)Tennessee (Nashville)Texas (Austin)Utah (Salt Lake City)Vermont (Montpelier)Virginia (Richmond)Washington (Olympia)West Virginia (Charleston)Wisconsin (Madison)Wyoming (Cheyenne)A few fun facts about U.S. states: Wyoming is the 10th largest state in area (97,000 square miles), but has the lowest population (585,000) and 2nd lowest population density (after Alaska) at fewer than 6 people per square mile. New Jersey, meanwhile, is the 3rd smallest state in area (8,722 square miles) but 11th in population (8,944,000) and ranks first in population density with 1,210 people per square mile.Meanwhile, Vermont’s capital, Montpelier, is the smallest state capital in the U.S., having a population of fewer than 8,000 people, and its largest city, Burlington (pop. 42,000), is the smallest city in the U.S. to be the largest in its state.And in one survey, when Americans were asked to name all 50 states, the one they most frequently forgot was Delaware - which was our first state.
What are the straight lines we see on the ocean floor in Google Earth caused by?
Good question!Your instinct was right. The lines you have pointed out are actually mapping anomalies. Only a small fraction of the seafloor has ever been mapped at high resolution. Detailed maps require expensive, specially-equipped boats. Typically these boats travel from major ports, then go back and forth across the ocean floor over an interesting area. NOAA publishes maps of the paths used by their boats.Google Earth uses both high- and low-resolution data. Whenever maps are joined, small features that do not appear on the lower-resolution map look like they've been cut off along the seam, which appears to the user as a straight line.A good place to see this effect is the coast of southern California, near the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. They have mapped their surrounding ocean floor in very high detail. When you go further than 300km away from the coast, the resolution gets patchy. My screenshot (500km offshore) is about half-and-half low-and-high detail.I've drawn arrows to highlight a few of the smaller boat tracks. You can see that the seafloor between my tracks looks sort of fuzzy. In the high-resolution tracks, you see all kinds of interesting bumps and ridges, which are continuous between tracks but disappear in the fuzzy, low-resolution areas.If you zoom way out, you can see lots of these tracks criss-crossing the Pacific Ocean (white arrows, below). You'll notice that most of them start near either San Diego (Scripps Institute of Oceanography) or Hawai'i (Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology). On any of these, if you zoom in, you'll see a resolution contrast like the picture above.The parallel pink lines, however, are not mapping anomalies. These are natural features, which are created perpendicular to seafloor spreading ridges, and I'm sure they're described in many places on Quora.Hope this helps. Have fun exploring! :)
Could most Americans find the UK on a map?
I would venture that a majority of Americans could find some part of the UK on the map. What may not be so well-known is just how far north the British Isles lie:London is at 51.5074° N.The 50th parallel runs just south, through the English Channel, and continues around through sunny Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, with an average January temperature of -21C (-6F).Most Americans would assume London to be maybe as far north as Boston, Massachusetts, USA at 42.3601° N. It is disconcerting to note the difference, and to realize that North Florida and South Central Texas are on the same approximate parallel with Morrocco, Algeria, and Libya.
