Arctic shrinkage

population is a result of oil drilling in the arctic. The negative effects of oil drilling have spread to habitat loss, consumption of health declining chemicals, and impacts on polar bear family life/ birth rates. While individuals might not see this as an issue, due to the importance of oil in society, not only are individuals harming this species but humanity is also harming the environment. To begin, Human man is depleting the ice caps in the arctic. With humans…

Elfuclana has a unique and interesting history compared to other countries. It is located 132 miles east of the coast of Ellis Island. The founding of this country all began with the Revolution of the Elves, also called The Elfolutionary War. It dates back to December 24th, 2076. It was the day before Christmas in 2076. Santa is, and has always been, the communist dictator of the North Pole. The elves have had to put up with his cruel ruling for long enough. One elf, named Tasol Elfuclan,…

The melting ice in the Arctic has allowed for the potential navigation during the summer months, of two shipping routes formerly impassable; the Northwest Passage, which runs through northern Canada and the Northern Sea route, north of the Russian mainland. (Anderson, A., 2009). The potential use of these routes would mean that goods would no longer have to travel through the Suez or Panama canals, shortening the distance by thousands of miles. (Anderson 2009). In fact, it is estimated that…

Arctic Tundra Referred as “treeless plain”   Earth's coldest biome!  Earth's youngest biome! (formed 10,000 years ago) Located in the Northern Hemisphere (Alaska, Canada, and Siberia)   Known for its cold, desert like conditions Average Temperature (Winter): -34° C (-30° F)  Average Temperature (Summer): 3-12° C (37-54° F)  Arctic Tundra Wide variety of plants (1,700 kinds of plants)   Short growing season (50 – 60 Days)  Carbon Sink (Stored in permafrost) Animals…

CLAIM: The Arctic region’s history does not make the front page of news articles or magazines very often. Therefore, many people are not aware of how this once glorious region has a devastating history, especially in the past century. To compare the Arctic’s history from its last, scientists measure the sea ice covering peak around the time of late-March, as well as the nadir in the ice coverage around mid-September. EVIDENCE: in 2018, the final recording of the Arctic ice coverage was “5.59…

Norwegian Elkhounds They weigh between 40-50 pounds, and they stand about nineteen inches at the shoulder. They usually have a thick grey coat, with a soft undercoat and a coarse outer coat. They were bred for hunting large game such as elk, mountain lions, bears, lynx, and moose. To this day, they are still used for hunting, but are also great companions or watchdogs. The history of the Norwegian Elkhound starts around 5000 B.C., around the time when Vikings existed. The Vikings took a…

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) is a national wildlife refuge in northeastern Alaska and is the largest National Wildlife Refuge in the United States. Created by Congress in 1980 with the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), this area is at the center of both economic and environmental controversy as it holds potential for the production of both oil and natural gas. The ANILCA’s most controversial piece was the decision to defer drilling and petroleum exploration…

current atmospheric changes that are occurring in the Arctic are forcing record weather events that are contributing to the melting of the Greenland ice sheet. Within the atmosphere, 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,…

An evolving industrialized nation can sprout both negative and positive effects. Technology continues to progress through time and evolve our species, but its triumphs can bring chaos when put into the hands of an immoral individual. For example, Richard Reid, also known as the infamous “Shoe-Bomber”, used his expertise with technology to craft an improvised explosive device (IED) to attempt to kill 197 passengers on American Airlines Flight 63 (Shoe bomber NBC). Technology continues to adapt…

Guide revised) Other Properties As shown in the previous paragraphs. The properties of Kevlar can changed with an increase in temperature. However, with a decrease in temperature, there is no major change in properties of Kevlar. When exposed to arctic conditions. As shown in the table Kevlars tenacity, and tensile strength do not change that much. (DPT Kevlar Technical Guide revised) At temperatures of -320 Fahrenheit, or -196 Celsius Kevlar does not embrittle or degrade. Kevlar is…
