Citizenship & Government Badge
May 10th, 2014

Here's what I did for #24.

The rights of U.S. citizens are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.

The Bill of Right are found in the United States Constitution.

Here's a few rights: free expression and to worship according to your beliefs, trial by jury without bias, to elect public officials with voting, to run for elected offices and apply for employment within federal offices.

For more info about right of a U.S. citizen, please visit: http://traveltips.usatoday.com/rights-usa-citizen-63390.html

A citizen can lose their rights if they renounce their citizenship or convicted of treason. Another way a citizen could lose one or more rights is, if they are convicted of a state or federal felony crime.

1.What is an El Nino - a band of warm ocean water temperatures that periodically develops off the western coast of South America and can cause climatic changes across the Pacific Ocean.

What is La Nina - During a period of La Niña, the sea surface temperature across the equatorial Eastern Central Atlantic Ocean will be lower than normal by 3–5 °C.

2. How does La Nina impact the weather in South America- During a time of La Niña, drought plagues the coastal regions of Peru and Chile.From December to February, northern Brazil is wetter than normal.

3. How does La Nina impact the weather in California- La Niña causes mostly the opposite effects of El Niño, above-average precipitation across the northern Midwest, the northern Rockies, Northern California, and the Pacific Northwest's southern and eastern regions.
