Arctic Ocean

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…

hurting us. Freshwater lakes and ponds, the Arctic ice caps, and humans are being affected by what is going on in the world. Many of the organisms in these freshwater lakes and ponds respond to the changes in their climate in two ways. They either can not respond, therefore, the number of that organism decreases and can become extinct, or they adapt so well that they overpowers other organisms causing the other organisms to become extinct. In the Arctic, ice caps have started to melt causing…

I went to see ‘Elf the Musical Jr.’ on Thursday, December 1, 2016. The tickets were $15 For decent seats and in my opinion, the show plus the seats that we had were not at all worth the $15, that we spent. This musical is not a show that I would recommend to anyone, at anytime. It was that bad. But, to help you understand in my own opinion as to why ‘Elf the Musical Jr.’ was so bad, let me give you some feedback and get into a little more detail in the next few paragraphs. The first reason as…

These species include the arctic hares, arctic ground squirrels, lemmings, musk oxen, and ptarmigan. There are two varieties of tundra, the arctic and the alpine tundra. The arctic tundra is located in the part of the world that is above the equator, surrounding the North Pole and continuing to the coniferous forests of the taiga. The arctic tundra is treeless because, directional-wise, it is beyond the limit of tolerance in tree growth. It is too far up north. The arctic tundra is known for…

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…

the North, politics and the environment are rapidly changing. Currently, Arctic sovereignty is in dispute between the Arctic countries over resources, trade, and territory. The message presented in the source confidently exemplifies the opinion that in the 21st century, the Canadian government is obligated to pursue the sovereignty claim over the Arctic, regardless of the international opposition from America and the Arctic countries. These countries are Russia, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway…

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,…

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…

on to, hunting animals in the ocean. Also, trying to catch enough food to feed the many hungry families back at their village. Challenges The Inuit and the Haida faced 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…
