Why is the North American west coast warmer in winter months and cooler in summer months than the east coast?
Q. Why is the North American west coast warmer in winter months and cooler in summer months than the east coast? Looking at the problem and what we are learning in class, I am guessing it has something to do with the heat of the oceans???
Asked by Max K - Tue Dec 18 18:42:14 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The currents of the wind and water in both the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans contribute greatly to the weather on the coasts.

How much does it cost for a North American to own property in Peru?
Q. I am interested in the relative cost of land-ownership, maintenance, security, and other legal fees of purchasing a small home/condo in Cuzco or the surrounding area. It would be maintained solely as a summer (SH winter) home. Also, if you are a North American who owns property in Peru, do you recommend doing so, or is it better to find a reliable rental plan?
Asked by Mysterious Gryphon - Mon Jul 26 16:03:41 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I would only worry if someone like Ollanta Humala (under Hugo Chavez's payroll) gets to Office on next elections (2011) if any other candidate wins, everything will remain the same. Although, even if Ollanta Humala wins, it doesn't mean he's going to take away your property, but it can be a gret opportunity to buy property. In the latest elections back in 2006, properties and Stock Market had a huge downfall few weeks before the elections. Because Humala obtained 26% and the other candidates Alan Garcia 20.4% & LourdesFlores 19.98%. Then on the second round Garcia won 52.6% - 47.4% over Humala.

What plants for a North American theme?
Q. I wan to setup a north american setup for my chukars what plants should i use?
Asked by Stuart - Tue Jul 7 07:10:32 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Find out what plants your chukars are used to having around, and include some kind of small tree or bush for shade, depending on how much space you have to work with. When I looked up your birds- they do sound interesting, by the way!- I found they like seeds and some small bugs. So you'll want to keep that in mind when you're planning. Good luck!
