Arctic Fox

creates undersea artic greenhouses” by Thomas Sumner, there is information yet to be discovered before knowing if enough nutrients such as nitrogen and iron are creating these blooms. If more blooms are appearing in the Arctic Ocean, they may already be dramatically reshaping the Arctic ecosystem. With a combination of research and results, both articles demonstrate a shocking summary of how fast our planet has been warming up. For popular articles, journalists or professional authors write for…

The Arctic. The last available source of untapped wealth in the form of natural resources Earth has to offer, and every country who can lay claim to it will try. The diminishing ice surrounding the North Pole means that it is now open to exploration and geological mapping to countries with an Arctic border, such as Canada, Denmark, Russia, Norway, and the United States. Every one of these countries are beginning to establish a presence in the Arctic (Smith, 2010, p. 651-652) due to the U.S.…

slowly, but they do this to keep a stable body temperature. Polar bears release extra body heat through their muzzle, ears, and footpads. These adaptations are examples of homeostasis. The only place in the world that Polar bears live is in the Arctic. Their habitats are divided into 19 subpopulations. Polar bears live along the edges of pack ice because water currents and wind work together…

picked was the Arctic Tundra. The animal from Arctic Tundra I picked is the polar bear. Female polar bears would rather build their den in old snow,( like from a few years ago.) The polar bear is found in Canada , the U.S (Alaska), Greenland, Russia Norway (the Svalbard archipelago), and Arctic Tundra. The Arctic Tundra climate/weather averages to -30°F. In January it is the coldest weather in Arctic Tundra. It’s about -40°F, in January it has reached -93°F before. Most of the year Arctic…

In the North Pole, at least one polar bear is tightly grasping onto a single slab of ice that barely supports its body weight of over two-thousand pounds. Due to increasing sea levels, the ice that the polar bear is lying on will evaporate in less than two months. Paddling to find land will lack success as miles of shark-infested waters and several other threats lie between it and a temporary Shangri-la. Its chances of survival are slim, but to lower this probability even further, the polar bear…

assemblies, coinciding with the inauguration of the Arctic evanesce. Individual Nations struggle to apprehend the arctic, while Canada attempts to combat the contrasting Nation’s endeavors. When a Nation’s bellicoseness causes it contend its borders, it is expected of the influenced nation to combat the impending seizure. Stated in the Sources, the principal forces involved in the commotion for Arctic Sovereignty are the Canadian’s initial claim over the Arctic, The United-State’s attempts at…

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) live throughout the ice-covered waters of the circumpolar Arctic, particularly in near shore annual ice over the continental shelf where biological productivity is highest. However, to a large degree under scenarios predicted by climate change models, these preferred sea ice habitats will be substantially altered. Spatial and temporal sea ice changes will lead to shifts in trophic interactions involving polar bears through reduced availability and abundance of their…

plenty of challenges that put their lives at risk everyday. Furthermore, they took a canoe in the middle of the ocean to catch whales. They also hunted walrus,seals etc… The risk was that the whale could overturn the canoe; not to mention, that in the Arctic, when the tide goes out they create caverns. Which then opens up there is a seafood “buffet” Some seafood that they caught in the caverns was…

4a. The Canadian Arctic: Geography, ecology, people and climate The Arctic is often defined using political, climatic, biological zoning and varies greatly amongst Arctic nations. Using geophysical definition as the land and sea, north of the Arctic Circle and which experiences polar day from April to September, and polar night from October to February. Overall, Arctic climate varies greatly by location with annual mean surface temperatures of 4C in Reykjavic Iceland, to -28 C at the crest of…

Bears are capable of adapting to numerous changes of environment. This is why there is such a wide variety of bears, and it is why each species is different and has its own unique characteristics. These traits are often necessary in order for the bear to survive with its surroundings (“Bear”). There are three kinds of bears in North America, and the most common is the American black bear (“North America’s Bears…”) They are normally found in forests and make great tree climbers, but may be seen…
