Humid subtropical climate

the Arctic is undergoing extreme fluctuations related to climate change that are greater than any other point of the earth. Due to the current atmospheric changes that are occurring in the Arctic, the Greenland ice sheet is rapidly melting and as a result, the Arctic Circle is accelerating towards an ice-free area, particularly around Greenland. Located in the Arctic, the Greenland ice sheet is very vulnerable to climate change. Climate change is currently…

The photograph example on page 417 at the beginning of Part 3 depicts the receding Athabasca Glacier in Alberta, Canada, in the Canadian Rockies. This photography uses elements of angle and orientation, people in scenes, and distance in order to convey the rising problem of global warning. The distant photo is divided into three horizontal bands- the blue sky, the snowy moutains, and the dirt road- but the focal point is the sign that reads, in two different languages English and French, "The…

Hurricane Nor Ida a Nor’easter storm hit the Norfolk, Virginia and because of so much rain falls (18 inches) there was a rise in sea level causing flooding in the area. This flooding caused 25 million dollars in cleanup for Norfolk alone. If the climate warms to 2 degrees the sea level rise will rise and continue for centuries (Sutter, 2015). If sea levels rise cities like Norfolk, Washington D.C., Houston, and Miami will suffer from immense flooding. We already see examples of this from the…

barely touched by humanity. Antarctica is continuously dark and temperatures drop to extreme lows that any human life residing is purposely there working towards scientific research. Antarctica like many other places in our planet earth faces vast climate changes. Glacial melting and rapid decline of sea ice sheets are destroying any signs of natural habitats. The West Antarctic Peninsula is currently considered the fastest winter warming place on planet earth. Currently the Peninsula has…

Recently I was talking to my friend about my topic for this paper. She asked me, “Why should we be worried about the Glaciers melting, we live nowhere near them?”. The rapid retreating of the glaciers all around the world is a problem that humans have created, this problem is irreversible, all we can do not is try to stop it from going more downhill. I chose this because I believe human beings need to be aware of this issue, they need to be aware and they need to be able to understand all that…

Climate change, as well as pollution and many other factors, are threatening the polar bear’s natural habitat. This marine species are dependent on the ice to be able hunt to get their energy source and survive in the Artic. Unfortunately, the quantity of the floating ice in the Arctic region is diminishing every year. This ice loss is caused by the global warming and some factors of anthropogenic origin. These animals are becoming sick as a result of the pollutants that get to the Artic Sea.…

A flag is used so people can instantly recognise the country it represents. Yet, when the Australian flag is flown, foreigners do not easily associate it with Australia and are often confused. This is because our flag is too similar to New Zealand's flag, as it also features the Southern Cross and the Union Jack. The only difference between the Australian flag and the New Zealand flag is Australia's federation star. This is similar to the issue of Australia's national anthem. Our former…

Global Warming, a Reality or a Myth There is a growing concern on the conditions of the Arctic when factoring Global Warming. Most scientists believe the last 50 years of constant temperature changes in the world is due to human activity and the burning of fossil fuels. Many also take in the natural factors, for example, variations in the solar radiation, where major volcanic interactions and eruptions between the ocean and the atmosphere. Many people on earth do not understand the importance of…

conditions have been given by various landers and rovers. Advanced Earth orbital instruments today keep on providing some helpful "big picture" perceptions of moderately large weather phenomena. Researchers imagine that 3.5 billion years back the climate on Mars was like that of early Earth: warm…

concern over the issue of global warming (Newport, 2014, 1). In the same study, only forty-one percent of people stated being concerned with extinction of plant and animal species, and as little as thirty-five percent expressed worry over global climate change (Newport, 2014, 1). Although it is disappointing that many do not seem to care about the state of the environment, it is very difficult to harshly criticize their apathetic attitude. When bills are due and jobs are scarce, priorities…
