There's still disagreement about just where Columbus first saw the new world and set foot upon its shores.  No one knows for sure.\n\nHere are some sites that may be helpful to you.  Best of luck.

"The wave was launched into the soccer community and to the world at the World Cup in Mexico in 1986, from which the name "Mexican wave" derives. In Brazil, Germany, Italy and other countries it's called "la ola" (or simply ola) (Spanish for "The wave"). During the opening ceremony of the 1988 Winter Olympics the audience made the wave during the athletes' parade."\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audience_wave

Tropical cyclones are named to provide ease of communication between forecasters and the general public regarding forecasts, watches, and warnings. Since the storms can often last a week or longer and that more than one can be occurring in the same basin at the same time, names can reduce the confusion about what storm is being described. According to Dunn and Miller (1960), the first use of a proper name for a tropical cyclone was by an Australian forecaster early in the 20th century. He gave tropical cyclone names "after political figures whom he disliked. By properly naming a hurricane, the weatherman could publicly describe a politician (who perhaps was not too generous with weather-bureau appropriations) as 'causing great distress' or 'wandering aimlessly about the Pacific.'" (Perhaps this should be brought back into use ;-)\n\nDuring World War II, tropical cyclones were informally given women's names by US Army Air Corp and Navy meteorologists (after their girlfriends or wives) who were monitoring and forecasting tropical cyclones over the Pacific. From 1950 to 1952, tropical cyclones of the North Atlantic Ocean were identified by the phonetic alphabet (Able-Baker-Charlie-etc.), but in 1953 the US Weather Bureau switched to women's names. In 1979, the WMO and the US National Weather Service (NWS) switched to a list of names that also included men's names.\n\nThe Northeast Pacific basin tropical cyclones were named using women's names starting in 1959 for storms near Hawaii and in 1960 for the remainder of the Northeast Pacific basin. In 1978, both men's and women's names were utilized.\n\nThe Northwest Pacific basin tropical cyclones were given women's names officially starting in 1945 and men's names were also included beginning in 1979. Beginning on 1 January 2000, tropical cyclones in the Northwest Pacific basin are being named from a new and very different list of names. The new names are Asian names and were contributed by all the nations and territories that are members of the WMO's Typhoon Committee. These newly selected names have two major differences from the rest of the world's tropical cyclone name rosters. One, the names by and large are not personal names. There are a few men's and women's names, but the majority are names of flowers, animals, birds, trees, or even foods, etc, while some are descriptive adjectives. Secondly, the names will not be allotted in alphabetical order, but are arranged by contributing nation with the countries being alphabetized.\n\nThe North Indian Ocean region tropical cyclones are not named.\n\nThe Southwest Indian Ocean tropical cyclones were first named during the 1960/1961 season.\n\nThe Australian and South Pacific region (east of 90E, south of the equator) started giving women's names to the storms in 1964 and both men's and women's names in 1974/1975.

Depending on the strength and location of tropical cyclones, these "warm core" storm systems can be described, such as tropical depression, tropical storm, hurricane (in Americas) and typhoon (in Asia). They form between 10 and 30 degrees of the equator and 87% form within 20 degrees of it.  Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan are situated along the typhoon's path as the jet stream pushes it northward, with the earth’s rotation.\n\nWorldwide, tropical cyclone activity peaks in late summer when water temperatures are the warmest. In the North Atlantic, the hurricane season occurs from June 1 to November 30, sharply peaking from late August through September. The Northeast Pacific has a broader period of activity, but in a similar time frame to the Atlantic. The Northwest Pacific sees typhoons year-round, with a minimum in February and a peak in early September. \n\nSimply, earth's rotation + highest humidity level + location = typhoon (or hurricane).

Ferdinand Magellan was the first to try.  The ships he commanded made it all the way, but he died en route.  Juan Sebastian Elcano took over after he died and brought the ships home, so he made it.  Garcia Jofre de Loaysa's tried a bit alter.  All of his ships sank and he died, but Fernando de la Torre and eight survivors were picked up by a Portuguese ship and made it home. The first person to plan and lead and expedition and survive it was Sir Francis Drake.

Wind driven surface currents (such as the Gulf Stream) head polewards from the equatorial Atlantic Ocean, cooling all the while and eventually sinking at high latitudes (forming North Atlantic Deep Water). This dense water then flows downhill into the deep water basins, only resurfacing in the northeast Pacific Ocean 1200 years later. Extensive mixing therefore takes place between the ocean basins, reducing differences between them and making the Earth's ocean a global system. On their journey, the water masses piggyback both energy (in the form of heat) and matter (solids, dissolved substances and gases) around the globe. As such, the state of the circulation has a large impact on the climate of our planet.  It's also called thermohaline circulation

Canicula starts in the summer solstice, 21st of june. This name comes from Greece, about 5300 years ago. In those times the constellation of Canis Mayor appeared 1 hour before sunrise, so thats where the name comes. \nWith hot weather also came some diseaese.

It may have been used by the Aztecs. However, it was constructed by a much earlier civilization (one which existed in the 8th and 9th c). The name of the site comes to us through the Aztecs, Teotihuacan. We do not know much about the beliefs and practices of Teotihuacan civilization. For the Aztecs the entire site was revered as the place where the gods gathered together to create the world. Certainly, the association with the sun is completely conjectural. Presumably , the assocation with the sun is based on the axial layout of the site. the Pyramid is oriented east-west, along the path of the sun. Although the site as a whole is much more oriented north-south, as evidenced by the 'avenue of the dead' stretching from the 'pyramid of the moon' in the north to the 'ciudadela' in the south.

tradewinds\n"During El Niño events, the normal pattern relaxes. The tradewinds weaken, particularly west of the Dateline, and the piled-up water in the west sloshes back east, carrying the warm pool with it. The region of rising air moves east with the warm pool, and so does the pumping of heat and moisture into the upper atmosphere. Deflections in the normal wind patterns distort the usual paths of the jetstreams, pushing them from their accustomed places, which eventually causes the changes in the weather that the rest of the world experiences. With weakened tradewinds, the deep cool waters coming up in the east slow their ascent. The food supply for plankton dwindles, and the effect travels up the food chain. When eastern sea surface temperature becomes warm, the east-to-west temperature contrast is small, and so the tradewinds weaken even further, leading to a complete collapse with essentially flat conditions across the entire equatorial Pacific."

Saw an interesting program on this on the Science channel recently.  Basically scientists think it was because of a mega volcano that erupted that cause the first stage of the extintion.  Then world wide temperature rised 5 degrees and the methane in the bottom of the ocean evaporated and contributed to a super global warming and that raised the Earth's temperature another 5 degrees.  That was the most devastating extintion the planet saw and most of life on Earth and the Ocean died.

Luis Alvarez is the scientist who proposed the theory you mention.\n\nAlan Hildebrand was the first scientist to identify the impact site. In 1990 he found the ancient crater off the Yucatan Peninsula, near Chicxulub, Mexico.\n\nThis website for confirmation and more details --> http://web.ukonline.co.uk/a.buckley/dino.htm\n\nGod is spelled B-I-G B-A-N-G\nPBrax@netscape.com

The Incas started in the Titicaca basin, which is part of the Andes, as a few trading villages, probably around the year 1000.  They did most of their expanding in the 1300s and 1400s.

It was discovered by Antonio Ingognito, in 1983. He had a good idea it would be where it was because his Lonely Planet book said so. Other people had discovered it before but they weren't explorers.

U mean El Nino ( The Child ( Masculine ) lol which is a hurricane? Or maybe not well.... I know la nina means a female child hence la because la gives femine meaning and el gives masculant meaning for men . I would proabably recomend looking this up on a site called www.factmonster.com it has facts and refrence about people, places, events, etc. Its a pretty good site this should answer your question. O and a other really great site is www.wikipedia.com it is probably one of the most popular and biggest online encyclopedia's i think. Try em!!!!

Vasco Núñez de Balboa - Sep 25, 1513.\n\nVasco Núñez de Balboa (c. 1475, born in Jerez de los Caballeros or in Badajoz, Extremadura, Castile, Spain – January 21, 1519, in Acla, near Darién, Panama) was a Spanish conquistador who founded the colony of Darién in Panama, the oldest still-existing European settlement in the mainland of the Americas. He was the first European to see the Pacific Ocean from America (Sep 25, 1513).\n\nHearing rumours of a sea...\n...He heard of a great sea on the other side of the mountains and of a land of great wealth called Birú (later named Perú), turning out to be the Tahuantinsuyu (the Inca Empire) to the south of this sea...\n\nOn September 1, 1513, he sailed to San Blas (the narrowest part of the isthmus), and went south across the isthmus. As before he befriended the locals who were so inclined, and captured, tortured and looted those that remained hostile, thus gaining substantial treasure. Finally he reached a top from where he could see the Pacific Ocean on September 25, 1513. When the others had joined him a Te Deum was chanted, a cross erected, and the sea was christened Mar del Sur ("South Sea"). He pushed on to the edge of the ocean, in the Gulf of San Miguel and Balboa claimed the ocean and all adjacent lands for Spain.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasco_N%C3%BA%C3%B1ez_de_Balboa
