 Canadian Geological Discoveries: Extreme Weather Patterns

October 26, 2022


Our next topic for this blog will be extreme weather. Extreme weather is an event that is unexpected in the skies that affect the environment. Some examples are thunderstorms, exotic heat, snowstorms, and dry coastal areas. Some of these weather patterns change due to the climate above the atmosphere when a layer of moisture is on top of the troposphere.

One of the biggest weather problems to be labeled extreme would be known as Climate Change, which is about how weather changes its conditions uncontrollably and creates other disasters. Some consequences involve sea levels at different heights, increases in temperatures, and heavy rainfalls to soft sprinkles. In the past, this has affected Canada for over 50 years, causing droughts in the North, making the area so warm, it could be a potential target for forest fires.

Now for weather in the future, unfortunately for the east coast, there will be some consequences with this new weather. Part of this has to do with Climate Change and in some areas Global Warming. Global warming or the Greenhouse Effect is the process of trapping rays of heat using Carbon Dioxide that is released from the earth so that when the heat comes from the sun it cannot escape. This causes the earth to become warmer.

The image below here should give you a map of Canada and its changes due to the greenhouse effect.


To deal with this type of situation, first, you need to know what kind of electronics you use each day and make a list. Then determine how much power they all have in common. This is crucial because the power lines are like burning off the power. Another tip to note is to check the climate by checking the area, especially the plantation and soil, to see how much rain or water has effected the plants.

Addison's Blog Issue #15: Fire Safety

 Canadian Geological Discoveries: Wild Fires December 7, 2022 This week for Addison's blog, we will discuss the details of forest fires. Forest Fires are weather disasters that happen in the dry plantation area of the environment. These are one of the most dangerous situations that can happen in any dry forest due to their material being extremely flammable. What causes them and how they affect the environment are great questions, which is why we are going to explain them here in this blog. So what causes a wildfire? Now sometimes it can either be started by lightning strikes in the skies, but this can only happen at certain points in time, depending on the weather. Research shows that about 10 to 20% of lightning strikes cause a fire to burst on the earth, after 100,000 hits from the storms.  However, most of the wildfires are caused by what I call, "Human Error". This is because when people are careless, they can do things that make their surroundings a bit worse. For e...

 Canadian Geological Discoveries: Tectonic Plate Boundaries August 30, 2022 Today on Addison's Blog we have received new information about the interesting groundbreaking facts about Canada's geological structure; tectonic plates. Now those of you who are curious about what those are, the answer can be explained through science. According to National Geographic, Tectonic Plates are a theory of how the earth's crusts and landforms were created during the beginning of time. However, in the ancient 1960s, these movements were furtherly developed when natural disasters such as volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain building.  Now there are a total of 7 tectonic plates which surround the 7 continents of the world which are, North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania (Into-Australia), and Antarctica. There are also some minor plates that are made when the bigger plates intercept. A prime example is the Philippines, between the Eurasian plate, the Pacific plate, and ...
