By LPaul    In Education    5 months ago Why does a stream look the way it does? What lives in a stream? What is water chemistry? The answers to these questions can be quite complex, but this presentation can give you a starting point to understanding some of the different ways you can look at a stream.

By LPaul    In Education    5 months ago Watersheds have a big impact on the water cycle. A watershed, also called a drainage basin, is the area in which all water, sediments, and dissolved materials drain from the land into a common body of water, such as a river, lake or ocean. A watershed encompasses not only the water but the surrounding land from which the water drains. This can be an area as large as the Mississippi River drainage basin or as small as a backyard.

By LPaul    In Education    5 months ago The Water Cycle (also known as the hydrologic cycle) is the journey water takes as it circulates from the land to the sky and back again. The other presentation previously uploaded is mine, too!

By LPaul    In Education    5 months ago Climate encompasses the temperatures, humidity, rainfall, atmospheric particle count and numerous other meteorogical factors in a given region over long periods of time. The climate of a location is affected by its latitude, terrain, persistent ice or snow cover, as well as nearby oceans and their currents. Climates can be classified using parameters such as temperature and rainfall to define specific climate types. The most commonly used classification scheme is the one originally developed by Wladimir Koeppen.
