Biodiversity is essential in medicine as most active chemicals used to make medicines are derived from plants or other organisms. Climate change today threatens species that are vital to medicine. An example would be coral reefs. Studies have been done on reefs that look at fighting cancers, HIV and other ailments. One of the richest zones of biodiversity is the tropics and this region is under threat from global warming and deforestation. It is important to preserve these species for use in future medicinal research. <span />

Identify the events that lead to a lake-effect snow.
Pavel [41]

Lake Effect snow occurs when cold air, often originating from Canada, moves across the open waters of the Great Lakes. As the cold air passes over the unfrozen and relatively warm waters of the Great Lakes, warmth and moisture are transferred into the lowest portion of the atmosphere. The air rises, clouds form and grow into narrow band that produces 2 to 3 inches of snow per hour or more.

<h3>Which are the key factors in lake snow affect?</h3>

Wind direction is a key component in determining which areas will receive lake effect snow. Heavy snow may be falling in one location, while the sun may be shining just a mile or two away in either direction.

The physical geography of the land and water is also important.
