This city is in New York's southeastern corner. ]]> 2021-03-08 20:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1284444558 21grubee https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1284468437 The population of New York City is 8.419 million people. ]]> 2021-03-08 20:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1284468437 21grubee https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1289458412 I want to visit New York City because the city is beautiful with its skyscrapers and it has many different shops. Additionally, I want to see the 9/11 memorial and Central Park. Also, Times Square looks amazing. ]]> 2021-03-09 19:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1289458412 21grubee https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1289460877 For anyone who loves history and museums the best place to go is the 9/11 memorial. This memorial has an outdoor section showing where the Twin Towers used to stand and then an indoor museum showing the events leading up to the disaster and the people who passed away. Another main attraction of New York City is Central Park. This park was the first landscaped public park in the U.S. and holds a zoo, gardens, and theaters. This park is also home to many movie scenes. Lastly, another must-do is visiting the Statue of Liberty. This statue was given to the U.S. by France as a token of an alliance after the American Revolution. Take a boat across Upper New York Bay and see the Statue of Liberty up close! New York City has many more attractions like Times Square and the Empire State Building but these three are my main three. ]]> 2021-03-09 19:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1289460877 21grubee https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1289571767 2021-03-09 19:32:59 UTC https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1289571767 21grubee https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1289574211 2021-03-09 19:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1289574211 21grubee https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1289581928 This statue was given to the U.S. by France as a token of their alliance after the American Revolution.]]> 2021-03-09 19:35:01 UTC https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1289581928 21grubee https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1289590156 2021-03-09 19:36:40 UTC https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1289590156 21grubee https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1289595180 2021-03-09 19:37:40 UTC https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1289595180 21grubee https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1294915243 New York City has cool winters and warm summers.

Rain in New York City is abundant reaching more than 1,200 millimeters (47 inches) of rainfall per year. Their wettest month is July (115 mm) while their driest is February (80 mm).

Although personally, going during their fall temperature seems most comfortable. Additionally, watching the leaves change color and fall is beautiful in Central Park.  ]]> 2021-03-10 19:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1294915243 21grubee https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1295008980 New York City has a humid subtropical climate zone.

Their goal is to preserve, protect and improve the air resources of the city. ]]> 2021-03-10 20:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1295051803 21grubee https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1295082459 New York City has made some huge improvements due to their new Air Pollution Control Code but before this was enforced their air quality was awful. Based on 2006-2007 data there were approximately 6,000 emergency department visits for asthma in children and adults due to their high PM levels. For the high ozone levels, about 4,700 people visited the hospital for asthma. Ozone reaches high levels from the emission of cars, power plants, industrial boilers, refineries, chemical plants, and other sources that chemically react to sunlight. Although in NYC, most of their emissions come from vehicles since most residents commute from Manhattan. During New York City's high temperature seasons, pollutants and NOx react with the sunlight to create ozone. PM come from cars, trucks, buses, and other vehicles that burns fuel and emits NOx, CO, and other pollutants. ]]> 2021-03-10 20:30:46 UTC https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1295082459 21grubee https://padlet.com/21grubee/6z3psxix847mlv4d/wish/1295136537 These pictures show the PM in 2009 and 2017.
