Connecticut's Extreme Weather Home By Scott Cimini on February 27, 2012, 12:00am Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories. Long before brick or wood houses became common, people had to be creative when building homes to protect them from the weather. Complete list of Ship Types Commonly, though, the standard lateen rig for xebecs had a single triangular sail on each mast, and had none of a square rig's topsails or topgallants. The lateen rig offered many advantages over the square rig, the most significant of which was the ability to pinch far closer to the wind than square sails could. This meant they could both quickly catch up to and quickly flee from square-rigged vessels when sailing close to the wind. The corsairs favored the xebec for its speed and maneuverability, and for its shallow draft which also aided in escaping larger vessels. These qualities were recognized by many of the European navies, and the vessel was quickly adopted into the Mediterranean squadrons as commerce-raiders and anti-piracy cruisers. As warships, xebecs mounted as many as 36 guns on their topdeck.

Modern Antarctic Clothing Accessories to Protect the Extremities - Head, Fingers and Toes (not forgetting ankles, wrists and neck) The extremities can get very cold very quickly. Fingers and toes have a high surface area compared to their volume - this means they lose heat easily and generate and retain heat poorly. Particular attention should be paid to keeping them warm. The head can lose up to 20% of the body's heat, in cold weather, the quickest and simplest thing that can be done to warm up is to put on a hat, particularly convenient and useful when taking a rest break after some exertion. In extremis for the sake of survival, if the body is losing so much heat that it may be in danger, blood flow to those parts losing the most heat and that are "expendable" may be shut down to a trickle (this will not happen to your head however!).
Classificazione delle navi Ogni nazione ha il suo registro. In Italia abbiamo il Registro Navale Italiano che dà l'abilitazione alla navigazione secondo le seguenti categorie: navi di lungo corso (L): abilitate a navigare in tutti i mari. navi per la navigazione nell'Atlantico (AT)navi di grande cabotaggio (G): possono navigare oltre gli stretti di Gibilterra, dei Dardanelli e il Canale di Suez, a distanza non superiore alle 300 miglia dalla costa. الأنين - الموسوعة العملاقة لطلبة الجامعات Earth Floor: Biomes There are many different kinds of plants and animals on the Earth, but only certain kinds are naturally found at any particular place. (We are not counting zoos here!) For example, cacti are found in the desert, polar bears are found in the Arctic, and elephants are found in central Africa and India. So, why don't people living in south Texas have to be on the lookout for snow leopards, or why don't kids in Minnesota have to worry about finding giant boa constrictors in their back yards? It is because these animals are not adapted to live in the average weather conditions found in Texas or Minnesota.
Climate of the Arctic The climate of the Arctic is characterized by long, cold winters and short, cool summers. There is a large amount of variability in climate across the Arctic, but all regions experience extremes of solar radiation in both summer and winter. Some parts of the Arctic are covered by ice (sea ice, glacial ice, or snow) year-round, and nearly all parts of the Arctic experience long periods with some form of ice on the surface. Average January temperatures range from about −40 to 0 °C (−40 to +32 °F), and winter temperatures can drop below −50 °C (−58 °F) over large parts of the Arctic. Average July temperatures range from about −10 to +10 °C (14 to 50 °F), with some land areas occasionally exceeding 30 °C (86 °F) in summer. The Arctic consists of ocean that is largely surrounded by land.
Breve storia delle imbarcazioni, tipi di velieri e cenni sulle navi. pagina indice Breve storia delle imbarcazioni, tipi di velieri e cenni sulle navi. E' la fisica, con il Principio di Archimede, che ci fa capire come fanno a galleggiare le navi, ed in generale tutte le imbarcazioni. Infatti questo teorema afferma che: "Un corpo immerso, totalmente o parzialmente, in un fluido riceve una spinta verticale, dal basso verso l'alto, pari al peso di una massa di fluido di forma e volume uguale a quella della parte immersa del corpo." Bill Moyers Reports: Earth on Edge - Ecosystems Ecosystems are communities of interacting organisms and the physical environment in which they live. They are the combination and interaction of the plants, animals, minerals, and people in any given area of the Earth. A small bog, a single sand dune, or a tiny patch of forest is an ecosystem. But ecosystems are also forests covering thousands of kilometers, a major river system, a desert.
classificazione Si definiscono navi tutti quei galleggianti di notevoli dimensioni capaci di muoversi autonomamente da un punto all’altro della superficie terrstre. Le navi possono essere classificate in quattro grossi gruppi: -Secondo il loro mezzo propulsivo; -Secondo l’uso cui sono destinate; -Secondo il tipo di scafo e le sue sovrastruttre; -Secondo il sistema d’ossatura usato per la loro costruzione.

The Largest Cruise Ship in the World is Five Times the Size of the Titanic Five times larger than the Titanic, Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas is the world’s largest passenger vessel ever built. Oasis left her shipyard in Finland on Friday (Oct. 30, 2009) and is set to arrive at her home, Port Everglades, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on November 20th. With her Maiden voyage set for December 5th, let’s take a closer look at this $1.5 billion behemoth of the seas. HISTORY The vessel was ordered in February 2006 and designed under the name “Project Genesis”. Its keel was laid down on November 12th, 2007 at STX Europe in Turku, Finland.
