Texas has extremely variable weather ranging from intense droughts to raging floods, with record high temperatures over 120°F and lows below freezing. Native American tribes, farming, cattle grazing, and dust storms have all been heavily impacted by the diverse and sometimes extreme weather conditions in different regions of Texas. Flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes, and drought have caused major problems that Texans have attempted to control and mitigate through improved forecasting, dams, irrigation, and adjusted land management practices.

TX History Ch 2.2
Texas has a variety of climates that influence its landscape and human activity. The state's climate is affected by its location, winds, proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, elevation, and rainfall levels, which increase from west to east and can cause drought. Texas experiences severe weather events like tornadoes, hurricanes, and blizzards. The state's vegetation provides habitat for wildlife but some animals' habitats have been destroyed, leading to extinction. Lady Bird Johnson helped beautify Texas highways with native wildflowers and established a wildlife research center to study plants and prevent erosion.

Discussion
During the 1930s, the United States underwent a major agricultural disaster. The ecology of the Southern Plains; which included parts of eastern Wyoming, western Kansas, eastern New Mexico, western Oklahoma, and southwest Texas; underwent a transformational change from moist, rich grasslands to a barren desert-like environment wrought with dust storms, widespread drought, and crop failures. This change clashed with the prevailing climatological theory of the time, which surmised that human habitation and agriculture could effect a permanent change in the terrestrial water cycle of an arid region through soil cultivation, increasing the amount of available moisture by plowing up and releasing water within the ground. This theory is exemplified during the 19th century by Charles Dana Wilber, who coined the phrase, "rain follows the plow". However, the theory did not stand up to the test of science, nor the test of nature.
Watch the 1-hour video, surviving the Dust Bowl (PBS). As you view this video, consider the motivations of the vast numbers of farmers who settled the Southern Plains of the United States, and how the semiarid climate did not dissuade them from attempting to farm there. Determine for yourself why "rain follows the plow" did not hold up to reality, and what the causes were for the enormous, regional dust storms that engulfed the country. Examine the fragility of an agricultural region in the face of climate change, how quickly the change can happen, and what impacts to humans, food supplies, and environmental health can occur in its wake. Contemplate the scope of massive human migration during this period, and consider the effects it had on the rest of the country, including air quality and government intervention.

Dustbowl by Zykeyria
The Dust Bowl was an environmental disaster that hit the Midwest in the 1930s due to a severe drought and harsh farming techniques. It affected southeastern Colorado, southwest Kansas, the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas. Changes in weather patterns over the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in 1930 weakened the jet stream, preventing rain from reaching the Great Plains. This caused massive dust storms that forced many farmers out of business, costing them their livelihoods and homes during the Depression era.
Plate tectonics
This document provides information about plate tectonics through 5 sections:
1) It defines plate tectonics and provides diagrams of Earth's layers.
2) It describes where plate tectonics is occurring globally and locally through examples.
3) It discusses how plate tectonics has affected life on Earth through changing environments and fossil evidence.
4) It notes there are still issues and debates around fully understanding the mechanisms driving plate tectonics and predicting impacts.
5) It argues more research across scientific fields is needed to better comprehend plate tectonics and issues like its relationship to volcanism and climate change.

The document summarizes key points from a presentation by Anthony Broccoli on planning for future weather extremes in New Jersey. Broccoli discusses recent extreme weather events like hurricanes Irene and Sandy. He questions assumptions of a "normal" climate and whether these events indicate a "new normal" with more frequent extremes due to climate change. Broccoli reviews climate science findings on trends in hurricanes, heavy precipitation, heat waves and sea level rise. He argues that past weather patterns are no longer a reliable guide for the future and emphasizes preparing for climate impacts even amid uncertainties.

A few minutes of intense shaking, followed by a devastating tsunami, producing widespread destruction. FEMA's best-case scenario, 13,000 people will lose their lives, (Schultz, 2015). The question is not if it's going to happen, it's when. The countdown to catastrophe is on for the Pacific Northwest. We're talking about the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Throughout this paper, I will discuss the who, what, where, when, and how this overdue megaquake will strike.
The Cascadia subduction zone is a 620-mile-long crack in the earth's crust. It is in the pacific northwest where the North American tectonic plate meets the Juan de Fuca plate, (Tarbuck, Lutgens, Tasa, 2017). Tectonic plates are pieces of crust that move across the earth's surface over millions of years, (Oskin, 2015). The subduction zone is where two tectonic plates meet. One eventually bends underneath the other, which is what we see in the North Pacific. The Juan de Fuca plate is sliding under the weaker, North American plate. Eventually, the North American plate will buckle, result in a devastating earthquake, followed by massive Tsunami.
Subduction zones are found all along the edge of the Pacific in what is called, "The ring of fire." Off the coasts of Washington, Canada, Alaska, Russia, and Indonesia birthed the most devastating earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions in history, (Oskin, 2015). The bigger the subduction zone, the higher magnitude of the earthquake. A subduction zone earthquake with a magnitude of 7.5 or greater will likely produce a tsunami. The Cascadia subduction zone is a big one. It runs 620 miles long and 62 miles wide. It has all the ingredients necessary to produce massive devastation.
So how do we know that the Pacific Northwest is in danger? Tsunamis are a direct result of an earthquake, volcanic eruption or a massive landslide. The once dubbed, "Orphan Tsunami," hit the eastern coast of Japan on January 27th, 1700, (Atwater et al., 2015). The year 1700 in the Pacific Northwest was considered prehistory, meaning there were no written records of events. Japan, on the other hand, have produced numerous ancient writings of stories that told of flooded fields, wrecked houses, fire, a shipwreck, and evacuations. The Japanese knew that tsunamis were a result of an earthquake, and because they didn't feel any shaking prior, they called the event a high tide. At the time, it wasn't known that tsunamis could occur from earthquakes that happened from faraway lands. Outsiders of Northwestern North America scarcely knew of its existence. At that time, leading European geographers left that part of the map blank. So, for this mystery, the Japanese didn't even know the Pacific Northwest existed, much less that it had produced the earthquake that generated the tsunami, (Atwater et al., 2015).

Texas Climate Impacts
The document summarizes climate impacts across Texas, focusing on drought, flooding, hurricanes, and sea level rise. It discusses specific impacts in three Texas cities - Houston, Austin, and areas surrounding them. Houston faces issues like air pollution from industry and traffic, and effects of hurricanes like Ike. Austin experienced its worst drought in decades from 2007-2009, lowering lake and spring levels. Coastal areas are vulnerable to sea level rise and stronger hurricanes due to flat terrain and subsidence.

Basic Concept Calculations
Basic Concept Calculations presented by Diana Mason, Deborah Koeck and Joyce Kulhanek, ACT2 2010
The Texas Education Agency has issued and implemented major revisions to the chemistry TEKS. Chemistry is usually the first course students take that requires them to understand how to solve problem that can't just simply be memorized. Even though these new standards have been aligned with algebra I, the actual use of this knowledge is in the middle to higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy (application, analysis and synthesis). There is also a new emphasis on mathematics that will be incorporated into the Chemistry STAAR exams. This workshop will take 12 (or more) calculations from the revised TEKS that are also documented in the Texas College and Career Readiness Standards and will share teaching suggestions and activities supporting the following: basic conversions and use of exponents, density, atomic mass determination, and gas laws (Boyle's, Charles', Avogadro's and combined)
Climate Change And Natural Disasters
The document discusses natural disasters throughout history and how climate change may impact their frequency and intensity in the future. It outlines different types of natural disasters and provides examples from the past. It then explains the mechanisms through which greenhouse gas emissions and rising temperatures could alter atmospheric and oceanic conditions in a way that aggravates natural disasters. This includes increasing sea surface temperatures that fuel stronger hurricanes, and changing precipitation patterns that may lead to more floods or droughts. The document ends by discussing how the media raises awareness of natural disasters and their links to climate change through movies and documentaries.
Seeking the New Abnormal
Presentation by John Nielson-Gammon, State Climatologist and Professor of Atmospheric Science at Texas A&M University, at the 2018 Gulf Coast Water Conservation Symposium in Houston, Texas.
Ashley A. Research Paper
This document discusses hurricanes, including how they form, their naming conventions, categorization by intensity, research efforts to better understand them, and safety precautions during hurricanes. It notes that hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and are classified using the Saffir-Simpson scale based on wind speed and potential damage. Many organizations work to track hurricanes and predict their paths to better prepare communities.
Texas Silver- State 4
Texas is located in the southern United States and is bordered by Mexico, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana. It has a varied climate from hot and dry near Mexico to hot and humid near the Gulf of Mexico, with mild winters. Some of Texas's landmarks include the Johnson Space Center, Big Bend National Park, and The Alamo. The largest state fair in the US is held annually in Dallas, attracting over 3 million visitors. Key exports from Texas include chili, pecans, cotton, beef, and wool.
How a hurricane occurs
The document describes how hurricanes form and cause destruction. It explains that warm ocean waters provide energy for hurricanes to develop through increased evaporation and rising moist air. As winds converge, they force the air to rise, creating clouds and rotation. Once formed, outer winds steer the hurricane and allow it to strengthen. Hurricanes generate powerful winds and heavy rains that can demolish infrastructure and kill plants.
How Did The Dust Bowl Affect Health
The Dust Bowl of the 1930s negatively impacted people's health and the economy in the Great Plains region of the United States. Prolonged drought combined with poor agricultural practices like over-plowing destroyed the natural grasses that held the soil in place. This led to massive dust storms that spread millions of tons of topsoil across the country. The Dust Bowl ruined farms, caused illnesses in children, and forced many families to abandon their homes in search of work.
Texas Slideshow
Texas has a diverse landscape ranging from mountains and forests to coastal plains. It has a mostly hot, dry climate but temperature varies by region. Six flags have flown over Texas since it was first settled by Americans in the 1820s when it was part of Mexico. Texas gained independence from Mexico and became a republic in 1836 after battles at the Alamo and San Jacinto, and it later joined the United States as a state in 1845. The state is known for oil and cattle production as well as native plants that thrive in its climate with little water.
U.S. State Presentation - Texas
Texas is the second largest state by both area and population. It has a diverse climate and economy, being a major producer of oil, gas, and agriculture. Some of its iconic attractions include the Alamo in San Antonio, the River Walk, and its state capital building in Austin. The state has a long history dating back to Spanish exploration and its independence from Mexico, and today has a mix of urban centers like Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio alongside wide-open rural landscapes.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
