Hello there; thanks for taking the time to read this piece of research. For my final piece of research, I decided to change things up. Instead of looking at a specific weather phenomenon, I looked at how the difference in high and low temperatures throughout the day affects human health and well-being. If you don’t know, the difference between the daily maximum and minimum temperatures is called the diurnal temperature range. To calculate this range, subtract the highest and lowest recorded temperature in a 24-hour period. This varies throughout parts of the Earth due to different climates, proximity to large bodies of water, and local geography. Urban areas tend to have a lower variation due to the artificial warming of asphalt and concrete. Different seasons affect the diurnal temperature range, with summer generally having the highest temperature range.

Georgia's Pre-Statehood Identity: A British Colony Named After a King. The establishment of the Georgia colony was spearheaded by James Oglethorpe, a British philanthropist and social reformer. Oglethorpe envisioned Georgia as a haven for debtors and the working poor, offering them a fresh start and an opportunity to rebuild their lives. This philanthropic motive distinguished Georgia from other colonies, which were primarily established for economic or religious reasons.
