Examples of Weather Underground in the following topics:
-
- Along with adherents known as the New Communist Movement, some extremist factions also emerged, such as the Weather Underground Organization.
-
- On land, carbon is stored in soil as a result of the decomposition of living organisms or the weathering of terrestrial rock and minerals.
- Deeper underground, on land and at sea, are fossil fuels: the anaerobically-decomposed remains of plants that take millions of years to form.
- Long-term storage of organic carbon occurs when matter from living organisms is buried deep underground and becomes fossilized.
-
- Rainfall is modest to abundant over most areas of the country; rivers and underground water permit extensive irrigation where it is not.
- They still must contend with forces beyond their control -- most notably the weather.
- Despite its generally benign weather, North America also experiences frequent floods and droughts.
- Changes in the weather give agriculture its own economic cycles, often unrelated to the general economy.
- In the 1930s, for instance, overproduction, bad weather, and the Great Depression combined to present what seemed like insurmountable odds to many American farmers.
-
- Reptiles have behavioral adaptations to help regulate body temperature, such as basking in sunny places to warm up and finding shady spots or going underground to cool down.
- In cold weather, some reptiles, such as the garter snake, brumate.
-
- However, a cold week in June is a weather-related event and not a climate-related one.
- These misconceptions often arise because of confusion over the terms climate and weather.
- In contrast, weather refers to the conditions of the atmosphere during a short period of time.
- Weather forecasts are usually made for 48-hour cycles; while long-range weather forecasts are available, they can be unreliable.
- Climate can be considered "average" weather.
-
- The counterculture of the 1960s gave rise to new forms of media such as underground newspapers, literature, theater, and cinema.
- In mid-1966, the cooperative Underground Press Syndicate (UPS) was formed.
- A UPS roster published in November 1966 listed 14 underground papers, 11 of them in the United States.
- There also existed an underground press network within the U.S. military.
- The GI underground press produced a few hundred titles during the Vietnam War.
-
- The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses used by nineteenth-century slaves to escape to free states and Canada.
- The
escape network of the Underground Railroad was not literally underground or a railroad.
- It was figuratively
"underground" in the sense of being a covert form of resistance.
- Estimates
vary widely, but at least 30,000 slaves, and potentially more than 100,000,
escaped to Canada via the Underground Railroad.
- A worker on the Underground Railroad, Tubman made 13 trips to the South, helping to free more than 70 people.
-
-
- Stem modifications, either aboveground, underground, or aerial, enable plants to survive in particular habitats and environments.
- A rhizome is a modified stem that grows horizontally underground; it has nodes and internodes.
- A bulb, which functions as an underground storage unit, is a modification of a stem that has the appearance of enlarged fleshy leaves emerging from the stem or surrounding the base of the stem, as seen in the iris .
-
- Sulfur is deposited on land as precipitation, fallout, and rock weathering, and reintroduced when organisms decompose.
- On land, sulfur is deposited in four major ways: precipitation, direct fallout from the atmosphere, rock weathering, and decomposition of organic materials.
- The weathering of sulfur-containing rocks also releases sulfur into the soil.
- Weathering of rocks also makes sulfates available to terrestrial ecosystems.
