Answer:
Alaska is called as mid night sun because of it's position in Arctic Circle,latitude 66°33' north.
Explanation:
- When the sun is located above the horizon for a full 24 hours,it is called as summer solstice and when it is located below the the horizon for a full 24 hours, it is called winter Solstice.
- In Alaska, sun travels at 360° direction in the sky thus Alaska receives 24 hour of light during summer time.
Although global human impact (global warming) is not to be ignored, this is mainly because of the El Nino in the <span>central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean.
If you're in the Eastern USA, its messing with the jet stream the high/low pressure ridges, causing the cold front to not be within the Northeastern USA area this year.
If you're in other areas far enough I don't know, global warming?

Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Edge cities are usually formed because land in the suburbs or on the outskirts of the city is cheaper (bid-rent curve), so they can make more a profit.
These businesses are normally connected the the CBD (central business district) so transportation to and from that area is still possible.
People that live in the suburbs or are visiting the main city have easy access to the edge city as you might not have to travel as far to these cities as the CBD (distance decay).
Edge cities can be a good thing because they allow for new businesses to thrive and they can increase economic activity and competition due to new construction, cheaper prices, new companies moving in, etc.
However, they can also be a detriment to the CBD because they might allow companies to relocate due to the cheaper land prices, they might take in the typical customers of the CBD companies, ultimately leading to the vacancy of the CBDs, which could be dangerous and create high-crime, unsanitary, or contaminated areas. It can also take attention away from significant or historical monuments and locations in the CBD.
Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
1. My predictions about the changes in sea level have been relatively close to the actual rise of the sea waters, though it has been different than the general predictions of the numerous models of the countries. The predictions that I have made about the rise of the sea level have been based on the rate of melting of the polar ice, but also on the isostatic rebound that occurs because of it, and the influence that the greenhouse gasses have on the global temperature. The estimates that I made were showing a rise of only few centimeters, unlike the several meters predicted by most of the models. The closest model to what I have predicted is the Russian model, which is very different than the others.
2. The sea level variations are not very easy to predict, nor do they have any particular cycle that is repeating on approximately the same time. There are numerous factors that influence the variations of the sea level, such as the global temperature, with higher temperature meaning higher sea levels, and lower temperature meaning lower sea levels. The isostatic rebound of the continental land masses should also be taken in consideration, as the continents lift up when they don't have pressure on top of them from the ice, and sink down when they do have large ice masses on them, thus it can influence where the water can penetrate and where it can't. The position of the landmasses, composition of the atmosphere, as well as the geological activities, all have big influence on the variations of the sea levels, be it going up or down.
