Glacial period

Champollion decoded the names of Pharaohs, inscribed within a cartouche, and from there a system could be deciphered. The Stone states the relationships between the Pharaoh and gods and various policies. The Pre-Dynastic Period (6000 BCE - 3150 BCE) began when the end of a glacial period caused a high influx of people along the Nile, creating the Upper and Lower Nile regions. Mythology references the Upper (representing Seth) invading the Lower (representing Horace) in 4242 BCE. Horace, the…

the earth and as its orbit alters, the amount of radiation, too, alters. For example, the northern Atlantic is crucial for depicting this change as of its warming and ice sheet melting. When the earth’s eccentricity is closer to the sun, the warming period lasts longer which is why it seems a natural cause. However, the Earth should have stopped its warming during the past 10,000 years yet we are still experiencing it therefore, scientists turn to humans as being responsible, which suggests that…

Following the last glacial maximum, at the end of the Pleistocene, there was a period of rapid change in the earth system (Björck, S. (2007)). This included; the onset of the younger Dryas cold reversal, which saw the return of glacial like conditions across the northern hemisphere and megafaunal extinction, where 35 genera of large mammals became extinct across North America (Firestone et al., 2007). One possible explanation for this change is the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis (YDIH), which…

Elie Wiesel was the author of the book Night and he was a Nobel-Prize winning writer, in which he recounted his experiences surviving the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel was born on September 30, 1928, in Sighet, Romania, and he died on July 2, 2016 at the age of 87. Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status.

first man to use a telescope to observe the Red Planet (UCL, 1999). However, it was not until the late 18th century when scientists mapped and documented detailed observations of the planets` atmosphere, clouds, polar ice caps, and rotational orbit periods (UCL, 1999). In the late 18th century…

Climate change is affecting the world in different forms and increments. In the last century various parts of globe have seen the impacts of global warming, green gas emissions, and flooding. These natural disasters cause massive amounts of damage economically, politically and socially leading to competition for limited resources, upheaval and chaos on both the local and national spectrums. However, many are quick to dismiss the impact of climate change when its horrific effects do not hit…

Great Lakes have also long been referred to as inland seas. Lake Superior is the second largest lake in the world by area, and Lake Michigan is the largest lake that is entirely within one country. The Great Lakes began to form at the end of the last glacial…

time every year researchers take in more about how a worldwide temperature alteration is influencing the planet, and numerous concur that certain results are liable to happen if momentum patterns proceed. (NRDC, pg 5). Among these are Dissolving glacial masses, early snowmelt and serious dry spells will result in more sensational water deficiencies in the American West. Climbing ocean levels will prompt seaside flooding on the Eastern seaboard, in Florida, and in different territories, for…

Have you ever seen water come up storm drains in sunny weather in the middle of the day? Or how about 70,000,000 people being stranded on rooftops? This is a problem people are beginning to face every year because of climate change. Climate change is greenhouse gases trapped in the atmosphere, causing earth’s temperature to rise. Climate change is a huge issue because it causes many problems that destroy lands and waters, and kill animals, plants, and humans or cause them to relocate. It is so…

Advancements in technology over the past few decades have distressed the Earth’s environment globally. Due to the increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions released into the atmosphere, mostly due to human activities, there has been a large concern over the dangers of global warming. Between 1990 and 2008, global GHG emissions have increased by approximately 1.5 times, causing an international concern (Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data, 2015). Although GHGs are naturally formed, human activity…
