This was interesting because the mountains are almost photographic in their portrayal -- one can see the individual crags, peaks, and even rock shapes but the forest and the waterfall are just hinted at with swatches of color (green or white).
The overall impression of the painting is one of calmness and serenity -- we do not feel that nature is violent, foreboding, or even difficult. One could also say that the juxtaposition of the tropics and the mountains are part of the message because the only thing really tying the two together is the rainbow. And even though the rainbow touches both parts of the two biomes, the glow of the rainbow only hits the center of the painting, flowing downward from the sky and into the waterfall. We are not even really aware of the emerging blue sky unless we purposefully move our gaze upward. Perhaps, too, the abundance of vegetation...
Still, one must ask -- where is the light coming from the lights up the travelers in the right side. An argument could be made that that light is an extension of the right side of the rainbow, flowing down through the forest; but that light doesn't extend as far on the left side with the mountains.
We clearly have a rainy day; there is mist or rain in the very center of the painting -- done so that it appears to be flowing away from the viewer and into the distance. It also appears that due to the title, Rainy Season in the Tropics, Church was not counting on the audience being to geographically accurate -- and perhaps on purpose wanted to portray a world that he saw but was not really a real place?
This dependence on the rainfall to multiply makes malaria to have a particular cycle of the infections in these tropic regions. The dry and the wet seasons usually alternate, hence the malaria outbreaks usually follow the rainy seasons. It is also worth noting that the intensity of the malaria transmission is tied on the type of mosquito vector that is in a given region. It is true that the anopheles
Climate and Architecture in Asia The Climatic Regions of Asia The Relation between Climate and Architecture Architecture for Arid Zones in Asia The Hot and Humid Climate Architecture in Asia The Architecture of the Earthquake Prone Areas in Asia Asia, the largest Continent on the planet, is as diverse as vast. There are several climatic regions in the Continent and concurrently several cultures that have been able to co-exist with each other. History has it that
These forests "loose their leaves during the dry winter but are lush and verdant in the summer rainy season" (Lewis 82). Some of the varieties of flora in these regions include the pink trumpet, cardinal sage and the spider lily. Along the dry Pacific coastal plain, from the southern end of the Sonora desert to the state of Guerrero, the predominant vegetation is thorny bushes and small trees, including morning
Food History Of Central American Cuisine What is the geographical location of Central America and why it has an effect on the Central America cuisine? (i.e., what is the weather condition in Central America and does that play an affect as to why they eat the foods they eat and what foods do they eat mostly). The geographical location of Central America has just about everything to do with the cuisine of
diseases West Nile virus, malaria, plague, and yellow fever. Specifically, it will discuss the history and distribution of the diseases in the United States or worldwide, and compare each of the diseases based on the categories above, as to which is most important individually and overall in terms of relative impact. West Nile virus only appeared in the United States in 1999, but it has become quite a feared disease
Atmosphere Atmospheric circulation is initiated when mass moves in the atmosphere. The motion can be vertical or horizontal. Atmospheric forces cause air to move, modifying the difference in pressure. Vertical and horizontal movements combine to modify temperature and pressure at local levels (Chou & Neelin, 2004). High precipitation in the temperate regions is occasioned by differential solar heating of the planet due to axial tilt, rotation and proximity to the sun. The
