Atlantic Ocean Climate Change

Improved Essays
The area, near the Atlantic Ocean, has warmer winters and cooler summers that is influenced by climate change. Increased CO2 concentration in the atmosphere creates a dramatically warmer climate against the previously colder Atlantic area, giving the possibility of severe storms and precipitations (Richard, Dominic, & Kerstin, 2011). Climate change and the warming atmosphere could offer the proper grown environment for non- native species as well (Richard, Dominic, & Kerstin, 2011). Because of the cutting of old trees and the growing of new ones, new bugs and tree disease that have potential effects on the local species of environment (Richard, Dominic, & Kerstin, 2011). Even more, non- native species may grow over the native ones. Both the

    In Revolutions in the Atlantic World: A Comparative History, Wim Klooster examined and compared four Atlantic World Revolutions: The American Revolution, The French Revolution, The Haitian Revolution, and the Spanish Revolutions. Klooster provided an introduction to global events leading up to the eighteenth and early nineteenth century Atlantic World revolutions. He then devoted a chapter to each revolution, and in the fifth and final chapter conducted a comparative discussion. Klooster approached the studies with specific ideas in mind; 1) International context was mandatory, 2)…

    is not always a mutualistic between different plant species. Invasive plant species have been known to impact native species by altering the environment. The University Woods location was ideal for data collection. The different trails provided information on numerous invasive and native species aiding in the quasi-experiment/ observational study. An invasive species and a native species were selected to assist in accepting/ rejecting the hypothesis.…

    During the 18th century The Atlantic World was the major area for trading, not just of goods but for the trading of peoples, cultures, diseases, and religions. The coasts of Eastern Africa, North and South America, and Europe made up the Atlantic World, and many people of that time period got a chance to be apart of the interactions between those empires. Yet, none of them with so interesting of a story as African-born healer Domingos Alvares. He moved between West Africa, Brazil, and Portugal; taking along with him his open mind, charisma, and deep spirituality. Although uprooted against his will, Domingos played a huge role in the Atlantic World through his use of religious pluralism, healing practices, and strong sense of social kindred…

    In the article “Hot Spots in a Freezing Ocean Offer lessons in Climate Change” talks about how climate change can affect the animals in Antarctica. Gail V. Ashton, a marine ecologist, and his colleagues predicted that in 50 years the Southern ocean will increase temperatures by 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit and in a 100 years the ocean will gain 3.6 degree Fahrenheit. In June 2015, Ashton started an experiment to determine what will happen to the aquatic animals if we heated the ocean. First, Ashton’s team was able to place three panels underwater, on the coast of Antarctica. Each panel was able to increase the temperature of the water by 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit.…

    Climate change may be partly to blame for the decreasing number of Atlantic salmon. Some direct biological impacts of the change in climate include physiological stress, increased depletion of energy reserves, increased susceptibility and exposure to disease and disruptions to breeding efforts there is evidence that the temperature of the sea's surface may affect the young salmons survival. It is also thought that climate change may affect salmon growth rates or make their food less available. It has been noted that areas of particularly warm freshwater can present a thermal barrier to migrating salmon that requires additional energy to navigate around. Such barriers can also delay or even prevent spawning from occurring.…

    The effects of white pine blister rust on biodiversity in whitebark pine stands Today we are living in a world of unprecedented and often very rapid change to the environment (Ellison et al. 2005). With the accidental introduction of exotic pathogens into areas they previously did not exist, the forest ecosystems of the world are being profoundly impacted and altered (Tomback and Resler 2007). The introduction of diseases, especially fungal diseases, have in some cases, either entirely eliminated or greatly diminished key tree species and as a result altered entire forest ecosystems (Tomback and Resler 2007). One such fungal disease is white pine blister rust, Cronartium ribicola. White pine blister rust was accidentally introduced to North America during the 20th…

    With global warming being a large contributing factor, frequency of wildfires in the Western United States is increasing and there will be longer fire seasons. When early spring runoff begins earlier on, summer heat increases at a faster rate and last longer going into fall. The Western forest becomes very dry and more susceptible to fires within a month after snowmelt, witch is melting about 1 to 4 weeks earlier than it used to 50 years ago. Summertime temperatures in the area are expected to be 3.6 to 9 degrees higher mid-21st-century, increasing evaporation, while precipitation is expected to to decrees up to 15 percent. Due to dry and warm conditions, pine beetles survive better and have a more rapid life cycle, allowing widespread insect…

    The social and economic transformations that took place in the Atlantic World between 1492 to 1750 revolutionized and altered the course of history. The interactions that occurred between West Europe, Africa, and the Americas led to social and economic development and factored into the reason on why the world is the way it is. Between the years 1492 to 1750 there was a great economic heap that took place on all major continents. This change was the result of the Age of Exploration--a period of time when European explorers went off to conquer and colonize land outside of their home country in the name of God, gold, and glory.…

    Humans are constantly changing the world to facilitate our growing need of comfort. The burning of fossil fuels adding acidity to oceans and myriad carbon to the atmospheric layer to result in global warming. Elizabeth Kolbert interprets the idea of destruction through global warming in her article “The Forest and the Trees”. “Global warming is mostly seen as a threat to cold-loving species, and there are good reasons for this” (Kolbert 150). Mostly, global warming results in increased temperature which will cause the North and South Pole to melt.…

    The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest ocean out of the five oceans and stretches east of North and South America to west of Europe and Asia. Its climate consists of ocean currents, which are dependent on the uneven heating of the Earth’s surface and continents/landmasses nearby. Ocean currents transport heat energy within the biosphere, with surface ocean currents warming or cooling the air above them, affecting the land nearby. Surface water is affected by wind currents, while deep ocean water undergoes upwelling, which is caused by the density of water. Abiotic factors which influence the Atlantic Ocean include the light levels, temperature, salinity, density and water movement, and nutrients.…

    As a society, it is often a common fear that extraterrestrial beings will invade and take over planet Earth. Although seemingly far-fetched, this idea of invasion does occur today, but on a much less science fiction level. Animal and plant species from other environments threaten the existence of neighboring species every day when they invade. Whether real or imaginary, invasive species need to be taken seriously so as to address all of the possible areas subject to harm. Businesses and government agencies must consider how moving a nonindigenous species will affect mankind, the economy, and the environment in order to prevent catastrophic disasters from occurring.…
