Louisiana is a good place to live in. Why?
Why Louisiana is a good place to live in...
Louisiana is a good place to live in because... it has various celebrations like...: Each April, the “Strawberry Capital of the World” celebrates the sweet berry with one of the state’s largest free festivals. The family-friendly event offers old-fashioned fun, from strawberry eating contests to sack races. Be sure to sample the many strawberry-flavored treats, including the shortcake. Try the festival's strawberry pie recipe.
Festival International de Louisiane, Lafayette: For five days every April, downtown Lafayette is turned into an international music mecca, complete with six music stages, street musicians, arts and crafts boutiques, a world music store and more. All of the events, including cultural workshops and cooking demonstrations, are free.
French Quarter Festival, New Orleans: Hands down, NOLA knows how to throw a music festival, and we admit it was hard to decide between Jazz Fest and French Quarter Festival.Heat Transfer
Precipitation
Wind
The wind is well very windy and cool. It affects life by... The annual average wind speed in Louisiana is 6.5 meters. Wind affects Louisiana because when the wind speed is very severe and dangerous if it starts to rain it can cause a rainstorm. Bodies of water affect the wind in Louisiana due to the high specific heat capacity (the amount of energy it takes to change a substance's temperature) of water, a lake, or a similar body of water would remain cooler than the surrounding land during the day. The warm air over land rises and the cold air over the water rushes in to fill that gap, creating a wind away from the water.
Climate
Weathering and Erosion
Weathering is when weather breaks down a rocks like rain,snow,or hail. Erosion is the movement of sediments by iceberg,water,or wind.Weathering and erosion other types of rocks the processes of the rock cycle such as metamorphism, melting and solidification, weathering, erosion, deposition, and burial are responsible for a constant recycling of rocks on Earth between sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic states. Louisiana experiences its fair share of hurricanes that causes precipitation and wind this weather can cause damage like the destruction of trees it is important to keep away from windows during a severe hurricane and try to stay inside during a hurricane
Severe Weather
In Louisiana hurricanes and thunderstorms occur including rainstorms.The weather is humid and rainy and very violent and because hurricanes and rainstorms take place the wind is also violent and the rain does not make things any better. Hurricanes are caused when Water vapor is the "fuel" for the hurricanes because it releases the "latent heat of condensation" when it condenses to form clouds and rain, warming the surrounding air.Usually, the heat released in this way in tropical thunderstorms is carried away by wind shear, which blows the top off the thunderstorms. But when there is little wind shear, this heat can build up, causing low pressure to form. The low pressure causes wind to begin to spiral inward toward the center of the low. The climate in Louisiana by contributing to the rain/precipitation when the precipitation mixes with the rapid winds it creates a storm.The severe weather affects the people that live in Louisiana because people get sick often because of the rain but after a while your body will adapt to the weather but hurricanes are also dangerous and in extreme cases can lead to death.After this severe weather takes place it can or might have destroyed buildings,trees,and the land around it and sometimes the economy has to pay to fix it create something in replacement.Some safety tips for the Louisiana type weather is stay away from window and in extreme cases just in case it is too dangerous to go outside make sure you have food and water to last.
