Block A1 The Tundra The Tu The Tundra is an environment near the North Pole in the Arctic Circle. The Tundra is the coldest of all biomes. The Tundra’s winters are extremely cold with temperatures below -34 C. The summers last only about two months and the temperatures are still very cold from 3 to 12 C.The Tundra is a type of biome…

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…

also known as “the unicorns of the ocean”; because of their horn-like tusks. They are “one of the rarest whales in the world”. Narwhals diets consist of squid, fish, and shrimp. They are normally “found in the Atlantic and Russian parts of the Arctic”. Narwhals don’t move very fast until they are being chased by a predator”. Narwhals travel in groups of 10-100, or sometimes more. Narwhals are normally hunted by polar bears or orcas. Narwhals habitat is being threatened by climate change a…

Polar bears Each fall, hundreds of polar bears migrate past this chilly hamlet, waiting for Hudson Bay to freeze over so they can venture onto the sea ice to pounce on unsuspecting seals. In the summer, instead of disappearing into carpets of wildflowers that blanket the tundra, polar bears were pawing through town dumps and wandering near the airport runway and snoozing on front porches. Those that survive the summer are at their most ravenous--and dangerous state. Starving bears often lose…

Polar bears and penguins are usually found mostly in the arctic or cold areas of the earth. Sometimes it can get to as cold as - 29℃, with little protection the weather can be deadly. Polar bears and penguins have so many different adaptations and ways of protecting themselves from the weather and keeping warm by using convection, conduction and radiation. Some ways they keep warm by using the 3 heat loss methods are . . . Polar bears lose a lot of heat just through their tail and ears. Their…

The author’s inference of the purported decline in deer population as a result of melting of sea ice due to global warming which has disrupted the age old migration pattern of the Arctic deer is based on weak assumptions and unconvincing logics. The author’s lack of in-depth analysis and missing evidences and arguments have left holes in the reasoning of the argument. The argument is based on the main pre-supposition that there exists a strong connection between global warming and diminishing…

surface level, but it is a detriment to the animals that inhabit the earth. Particularly, the animal species residing in the arctic region have been hit with a heavy dose of negative global warming effects over the years. With rising temperatures, ice caps are melting, leaving these arctic animals with less hunting and living space. First, as a result of the ice caps melting, arctic animal species have become endangered. As people, we must do our part to live sustainably and preserve resources…

The article “Arctic National Refuge” was written by President Jimmy Carter, and Photographic Journey by Subhankar Banerjee. He wrote this article to protect the wild animals from humans. The author used many quotes to explain how the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge protects the wild animals, and their habitats. First of all, “The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge stands alone as America’s last truly great wilderness,” Carter said. He means that the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a unique…

Arctic Oscillation Weather Anomaly The Arctic Oscillation (AO) is a two-phase climate pattern circulating in the Artic region and the mid-latitude regions of Earth. This oscillation pattern is the second largest on Earth, with the El Niño/La Niña cycle being the largest. While these weather patterns are a normal part of the Earth’s climate system, scientists continually monitor fluctuations in the AO to determine its natural state versus the man-made impact through global warming. The…

Arctic Enterprises is an ATV, side by side, and snowmobile company. This Company's first name was Polar Manufacturing, but was soon changed to Arctic Enterprises. Arctic cat went bankrupt in 1982.
