Geography
Off the coast of Chile and Peru, ocean currents and winds cause a rising of cold, nutrient-laden water. This enrichment of the ocean's surface layer results in an abundant planktoncrop, which in turn supports large fish and seabird populations.El Nino is the name for a set of oceanographic conditions that occurs every 5 to 8 years,causing disturbances in Earth's biological and weather systems. El Nino (Spanish for"Christ child") gets its name from the fact that it usually happens around Christmas.El Nino occurs when trade winds that drive the currents weaken and fail. In the ocean, thesupply of nutrients is cut off, and rather sterile warm water kills off the plankton. The fishand seabirds starve.Dramatic changes also take place in the world's weather. As the trade winds subside, thewind patterns around the globe are disrupted. For example, the normally cool Europeancontinent may experience prolonged periods of torrid temperatures as its normal windpatterns change. El Nino's effects may be felt for as long as 2 years at a time.According to the passage, El Nino occurs with failed trade winds. Thus, a conclusion thatcan be drawn is that a resumption of trade winds off the coast of South America is likely toresult in what phenomena?OOOA. an end to El Nino conditionsB. a continuation in high European temperaturesC. an increase in weather disruptionsD. a major anchovy and tuna migrationE. a condition known as El Aguaje90-
The following is an excerpt from the novel All Quiet on the Western Front written by Erich Maria Remarque in 1929. The book vividly relays the extreme physical and emotional trauma of World War I as experienced through a German soldier stationed on the front lines.I am young, I am twenty years old; yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over an abyss of sorrow. I see how peoples are set against one another, and in silence, unknowingly, foolishly, obediently, innocently slay one another. I see that the keenest brains of the world invent weapons and words to make it yet more refined and enduring. And all men of my age, here and over there, throughout the whole world see these things; all my generation is experiencing these things with me. What would our fathers do if we suddenly stood up and came before them and proffered our account? What do they expect of us if a time ever comes when the war is over? Through the years our business has been killing; -- it was our first calling in life. Our knowledge of life is limited to death. What will happen afterwards? And what shall come out of us?1)Due to the war, what does this soldier know of life?2)How has the war affected this soldier?3)Do you think this soldiers experiences will make it more likely or less likely for him to want to become involved in any future wars? Why or why not?4)Highlight or underline the two sentences of parts or sentences that you believe to be most powerful. Why did you choose these? What do they mean to you?PLEASE HELP ITS DUE TODAY!
