Arctic

Arctic Tundra Have you ever wondered what Biome you live in? Maybe you live in two or three. There are so many things around us that could be an answer to that question. You might live in the Arctic Tundra Biome. The Arctic Tundra is a very different place compared to most. There is very little plant and animal life unlike other Biomes which are very populated with the living organisms. The Tundra is thought to be very cold and unlively and some people are right, but it isn’t always like that…

catch. If you don’t know, I am an arctic wolf. Today I will tell you about myself and the reasons I am endangered. Canis lupus arctos is the scientific name for an arctic wolf. Although many people believe an arctic wolf can only be purely white, this is not true. An arctic wolf may…

the arctic holds about 90 billion barrels of recoverable oil and enough natural gas to sustain us for about 15 years Climate change is here, and by drilling in the arctic we are just accelerating the process. what we should really worry about is the natural gas. Because oil companies are lacking of facilities for the transportation of gas at the poles, they would use flaring to get rid of unusable gas and release lots of black carbon which is responsible for the double warming effect. Arctic…

Ender’s Game has several gripping characters that largely contribute to the story. The three Wiggin siblings are like the three bears from Goldilocks and The Three Bears. Peter is like the father bear; his personality is too hard, just like the father bear’s bed. Valentine is like the mother bear; her personality is too soft, just like the mother bear’s bed. Then there was Ender. He is like the baby bear; having everything be just right. However, you couldn’t have a respectable story without any…

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…

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…

time scales.” For at least three million years, the Arctic ice cap has been frozen to its core, but since global warming has been increasing, the ice cap is breaking up rapidly. According to Prothero (2012), scientists expect “by 2030 (and possibly sooner) less than half of the Arctic will be ice covered in the summer.” In 2000, one of his advisors was one of the first humans to see…

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…

article I chose is called “The Arctic has lost so much ice that now people want to race yachts through it.” This article relates to the 5 themes of geography because it uses and is involved in location, place, human-environment interaction, movement and regions. The article has an overall discussion about how the sea ice covering the top of the world reached the lowest maximum extent yet observed in winter, when ice is at its peak. This means that in the last four years, Arctic sea ice has seen…

My ride is entitled, Arctic Rush. The ride contains a Winter theme that will remind you of the season. Throughout the ride, you will go up a mountain, swirl around a humongous snowman and a gigantic penguin, dodge icicles, and go through snow while riding in an icicle. My ride has a hydraulic launch at the beginning that will instantly shoot you up the mountain, and throughout the roller coaster. You will be moving at a top speed of 100 miles per hour throughout the ride, which will allow you to…
