Adaptation: I have selected the city of White Rock as a destination to spend a Valentine’s day celebration anytime during the month of February. I imagine it as a print ad running in the community newspapers (i.e. Peace Arch News, Surrey Leader, etc.) Audience: My audience is comprised of those looking for day trips. A day trip is defined as “journey that you make for pleasure in which you go to a place and come back the same day” (MacMillan Dictionary, 2015, p. 1). I’ll focus on day trip aficionados and residents of the Semiahmoo peninsula. The first group is already interested in visiting his/her surroundings and the second group is a short commute from the destination. Thus, I assume they’ll need less persuasion to buy in. Take Away: I’d like to play with the element of surprise in this poster/flyer. I selected this strategy because White Rock is a retirement community; thus, it might carry the burden of being a boring place. I’d like to show that White Rock can surprise you. For this purpose I’ll focus on the public art program that sponsors Murals across the city1. These murals can be seen around the downtown core. I am playing with the element of surprise; therefore, the most important takeaway is curiosity. I’d like viewers of my poster to become interested in the city. Action: I’d like the audience to visit a website to learn more about the Valentine’s celebration.2 I’d like the audience to take a day trip to the White Rock downtown core during the month of February. · Earth Science Essay Questions · · A 200 word minimum response required. · Credible reference materials, including your course textbook(s), may be used to complete the assessment. · APA Information In-text and reference citations are required for all written responses. 1. Many people confuse the large void in the ozone layer with global warming. Can you distinguish between the two phenomena? Explain how each process may harm living things. 2. Considering the albedo of various surfaces, how might temperatures differ between urban and rural areas? Which setting tends to be warmer on a given day and why? Also, are there any factors other than albedo that might affect the temperature differences between the two settings? 3. "Perhaps more than any other single measurement, atmospheric pressure is the best indicator of current and changing weather conditions.” Explain and discuss why this statement is correct. Provide some examples. (Hint: discuss the differences in high pressure and low pressure systems. How does each affect the local and regional weather? How is air affected by air pressure?) 4. Why are coastal and mountainous regions often much more windy than other locations at similar latitudes? Also, from this and earlier chapters on meteorology, are there other weather characteristics that are perhaps unique or different for these areas? .
