that are peaceful so if they start going to Antarctica, most likely they will cause more damage to the land. Based on this evidence, I’m guessing that some people don’t know how to care for nature like others. In the text, “This may be simply because few mineral or oil deposits have ever discovered, nations will certainly be quick to begin fighting for them” pg#5. The nations can have war and if they find it, they can cause further injury to the land. From this evidence, if Americans got to Antarctica, leaders in different countries will find out and it may cause major problems with other countries resulting in war. Kendra’s argument is stronger because she explains her argument by using many strong pieces of evidence. However, Michael’s argument is . According to the text, “While Antarctica still exists in its present state, people must take the opportunity to…

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 experienced a winter…

Animals In Antarctica Antarctica is full of mysteries to most people who have never been there before, It’s like going to space or the moon. Antarctica is like a desert, except It’s not hot and it's very cold It’s the coldest continent in the entire Earth and all you see is the snow, sky, water and penguins, seals, birds. it does not rain or snow a lot there, but when it does snow instead of melting they remain there and builds up for many years and make a large thick sheets of ice and they…

Antifreeze Proteins in Antarctica Fish The shifting of the earth’s continents, a geological factor which has occurred for millions of years, changes our world. Hundreds of species live on earth and millions before our time have walked on its land and swam in its waters. Nevertheless those species change. They either adapt to anything life throws at them or they die off. It is an evolutionary process which is undergone time and time again. Species die and species evolve. Habitats alter and…

It’s a fact: Antarctica is melting. According to researchers from Caltech, seawater surrounding the continent is slowly melting the ice. But exactly how did the warmer water come into contact with Antarctica? Using dolphin-like robotic gliders, the researchers have uncovered the answer: storm-like underwater eddies (water flows) are to blame. The paper, co-authored by Karen Heywood, Andrew Thompson, and others, sheds light on the exact process. “When you have a melting slab of ice, it can…

The history of Antarctica is one dominated by men. Men were the ones seen as fit enough, strong enough, and as the ones most prepared to face the harsh Antarctic climate. Women, by comparison, were simply not suited for the extreme lifestyle accompanying exploration. But that did not stop many women from trying. Three young women applied to be on Shackleton’s 1914 Endurance expedition, but were unfortunately rejected. Furthermore, “twenty-five women applied to join Mawson’s British, Australian…

What argument are the authors of “The Last Wilderness Preserve” and “A New Land of Opportunity” making about how human behavior and actions impact Antarctica? Which author do you feel presents the stronger argument and why? The author of “The Last Wilderness Preserve” talks about why humans are not meant to visit Antarctica. According to the text, “In 1959, leaders from twelve nations signed the Antarctic Treaty, which forbids extensive human activity in Antarctica.” Because of this no one…

The continent of Antarctica has been set aside as a preserve in 1959. Since then, many people have argued over whether or not to explore the continent or leave it be. The stories, “The Last Wilderness Preserve” and “A New Land of Opportunity” both have contrasting ideas about Antarctica. The first passage provides the argument of how people do not belong on the continent while the other explains the complete opposite. The first passage, “The Last Wilderness Preserve” explains how humans should…

krill such as the Adélie penguin. The population of Baleen whales would also cease to expand to pre-exploitation numbers. (Ward P. 2001) Other organisms, such as salps who feed on phytoplankton similarly to krill would increase in population, which, in turn, would deplete the krill numbers like ocean acidification. Consequently a significant drop in the krill population would be detrimental to the Antarctic ecosystem, and is why renewable resources are imperative to ensure krill growth won 't…

distinct looking birds. “Adults are coloured black and white with areas of orange and yellow on the head, neck, and breast.( Britannica School "emperor penguin")The emperor penguin is the largest of all penguins. The emperor penguins can be at tallest at 48 inches tall but usually averages between 44 to 48 inches tall. Also can weigh up to 88 lbs. Their large physique enables to withstand harsh weather environments.Similarly to the -70 to -80 icy winds they can experience. They also have amazing…
