The storm crept in upon us like a thief in the night, its bloated clouds bulging and billowing to create a fortress that walled

Answer:

Alliteration: bloated clouds bulging and billowing

Personification: The storm crept in upon us; the feeble sun limped away and died; the howling of the wind

Imagery: its bloated clouds bulging and billowing to create a fortress that walled off the sky.Behind these towering, stratospheric ramparts; the official soundtrack of the apocalypse

Explanation:

Alliteration is a device in which consonant sounds are repeated at the beginning of words that are close in proximity in the structure. In the passage we are analyzing here, the /b/ sound is repeated in "bloated clouds bulging and billowing."

Personification is a literary device in which human qualities are attributed to inanimate objects. In the passage we are analyzing here, the author says the clouds crept upon them, the sun limped and died, and the wind howled. Those actions can only be performed by humans or animals, but not by inanimate objects. The purpose is to emphasize feelings and ideas.

Imagery consists of appealing to the five senses when writing, with the purpose of describing something vividly. To be fair, the whole passage consists of imagery. The description of the clouds, the sun, and the wind appeals to sight and hearing.

What are some ways that scientist have attempted to understand weather conditions and how they affect the prairies?
Ilya [14]

<em>Effects of Weather Conditions on Prairires</em>

<em></em>

Weather conditions are atmospheric conditions which generally comprises of temperature, wind, clouds and  precipitation.

   People generally are used to mild weather conditions experienced throughout the course of a day.

However, there are severe weather conditions such as

  • Hurricanes
  • Tornadoes
  • Blizzards
  • Droughts

<em>   Prairies</em>

Prairies are ecosystems which are regarded as aspects of savannas, and shrub lands, biome, temperate grasslands by ecologists. This assumption are based on identical temperate climates, moderate rainfall, and a composition of grasses, herbs, and shrubs, instead of  trees, as compared to  the predominant vegetation.

       

Scientist have been able to use the aspects of weather conditions such as temperature, wind, clouds and  precipitation to further understand how Prairies will be affected in coming decades.

 

 It is projected that  summers will become warmer and drier and that winters and springs will become warmer and wetter in prairies located in Canada.

There will be swift  swings between wet and dry conditions and  major weather events such as heat waves, droughts, floods will become more common.
