  D Climate Delaware has generally hot and humid summers and mild winters. D1 Temperature In July, average daytime temperatures are usually in the upper 20°s to lower 30°sC (80°sF) or even higher. But because summer nights tend to be cooler than thedays, July averages are about 24°C (about 75°F). In addition, onshore sea breezes can reduce daytime temperatures along the coast by 3 to 6 Celsius degrees (5 to 10Fahrenheit degrees). January averages range from -1°C (31°F) at Newark, in the north, t...

  Although the rivers of Colorado are navigable only by small boats, they are important as a source of irrigation water for use in Colorado and adjoining states. However,the water level of the rivers fluctuates seasonally and from year to year.

  Cézanne peint la montagne Sainte-Victoire pour la première fois en 1870. Ce paysage l'obsédera tellement qu'il enbrossera plusieurs dizaines de versions pendant plus de trente ans. On connaît l'amour de Cézanne pour sa Provence natale. « Il y aurait des trésors à emporter de ce pays-ci, qui n'apas encore trouvé un interprète à la hauteur des richesses qu'il déploie», écrit-il à un ami. En 1885, il séjournepresque toute l'année à Aix, ce qui lui permet de peindre d'innombrables paysages de la...

• Michigan - geography.

  The interior location of Michigan in the northern part of North America results in a continental climate, characterized by four definite seasons with moist, mild to hotsummers and snowy, cold winters. Winds off of Lakes Michigan and Superior in winter create heavy snow accumulations in nearby areas. The tempering effects of LakeMichigan account for the presence of the state’s famous fruit-growing belt along the lake’s shore. Since the water is colder than the land in spring, the westerly windspa...

• Ecosystem.

  work. The tiny bacteria and fungi feed upon the remains of the salmon. They break down the salmon intochemical nutrients. Nutrients from the salmon go into the soil. The roots of plants along the riverbank take up the nutrients. They use the nutrients to make food. Inthis way, nutrients get recycled back through the ecosystem. WHAT CAN HARM AN ECOSYSTEM? Any change in one living or nonliving part of an ecosystem can cause changes in other parts. Droughts,storms, and fires can change ecosystems....
