Brilliant_brown [7]
The structure of Congress is based on two major determiners: equal representation for all states and representation based on population.  The Senate has equal representation from each state by allowing exactly two senators from each state to be elected in.  The House of Representatives is literally representative of the people because the number of reps from each state is based on population, as a states population grows or shrinks compared with other states it's number of allowed representatives rises and falls.  For example, a state with a huge population like California has 53 reps while a state with significantly fewer residents, like Wyoming only has 1 rep.  Most states fall in between.

In my school's legislature I would have two houses to make sure there was balance in representation.  One house would have 3 students from each grade who were elected into their positions.  The other house would have representatives from every major club or interest group based on how popular that group is.  For example, there are a lot of athletes at this school so there might be 5 representatives elected to speak and vote on behalf of their group.  There are much less people involved in yearbook so they would have 1-2 representatives.  The legislative houses could meet regularly to discuss major issues in the school and come with ideas to make the school better.  All the members would have an equal value in their vote about solutions to the issues.  The two houses could pass ideas by each other for major progress and change. I think that this would be the best way to make sure that every student in our school was represented in our congress regardless of grade level or interest group.

What causes temperature extremes in the desert
MArishka [77]

Why are deserts so hot?
Deserts are hot primarily because of a lack of water. When the sun shines on the ground, all of the absorbed sunlight goes into raising the ground's temperature. If there was moisture in the soil, much of this heat would go into evaporation of some of the water, which requires heat to accomplish, and thus keeping the soil cooler that it would otherwise be. This cooling is from the "latent" heat of evaporation that is required to change liquid water into water vapor, and is the same reason why water evaporating from your skin feels cold.

Associated with the lack of water is a lack of vegetation, which would also cause water to evaporate as part of photosynthesis -- a process called evapotranspiration.

The common perception that deserts are hot because of the bright sand is incorrect. Since vegetation is darker than most desert soils, if a desert could have vegetation that didn't need water to live, the desert would actually be hotter since it would absorb more sunlight. Instead, the vegetation causes water to evaporate (and uses some of the sunlight for other plant growth process). Similarly, if deserts were covered by dark soil rather than light soil or sand, they would also be hotter.
Interesting facts:
DESERTS ARE COLD AT NIGHT:Because of the lack of water in the ground, and little water vapor in the air, most deserts can get quite cool at night. This is because (1) dry ground does not retain as much heat as moist ground, and (2) water vapor is the most important greenhouse gas, so dry air allows the surface to cool rapidly at night through loss of infrared radiation to outer space.

In fact, it has been calculated that the Sahara Desert actually loses more infrared radiation than it gains solar radiation from the sun. This net loss of radiant energy is balanced by the sinking air over the desert, which warms as it is compressed. The air over the desert is, in turn, being forced to sink by rising within rain systems hundreds or thousands of miles away. Thus, in some sense, rain can be considered the cause of deserts(!).
