Glacier

In the Documentary “Secrets Beneath the Ice In Antarctica”, The scientists studied the climate change by examine the Antarctic Ice Sheet. As the deeper they reached the ice, the further back in time they can study because these ices contained tiny bubbles of ancient atmosphere that trapped each year as the snow was compressed into ice night. In the documentary, they used a machine to drill through ice to gather sample from the nearly two miles thick West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Then, they found…

extends from Eastern Hemisphere and both the westernmost and easternmost state in united state. The land area is 570,380 square miles (1477,300 km2). In 1967 United States bought Alaska. Frozen water, in the form of glacier ice, covers some 16,000 square miles (41,000 km2). Bering Glacier complex near the southeastern border with Yukon, Canada, covers 2,250 square miles (5,800 km2) alone. There is no roads to Juneau, because of the mountains and it is difficult. People travel to Alaska to see…

For decades, global warming has rapidly changed the climate and environment on earth. The major cause for global warming is the greenhouse gases which are mostly made up of carbon dioxide. This affects our planet, animals, environment, which causes: droughts, heat waves, and other heat related phenomenon's. To eliminate global warming, we need to work together to preserve our planet. What we need to do is reduce our water waste, drive fuel efficient vehicles and reduce the carbon output. Today,…

Nestled tightly right in between Sweden and Russia is the beautiful country of Finland. Most of this country is of low elevation due to giant glaciers in the Ice Age. Granitic rocks eroded out of the ground dot most of Finland, besides giant rocks the glaciers gave Finland another phenomenal feature. Lakes, rivers, and valleys have all been carved out by these glaciers. Thick forests and its contradicing flat lands are also very common. Even though Northern Finland is in the Arctic circle the…

ice cores and decides travel north to photograph the effects of global warming first hand. He visits areas such as Greenland, Alaska, and Iceland to photograph glaciers. The process was not easy as James had to battle several challenges, but he is eventually able to capture time-lapse photographs that show significant melting of large glaciers. The powerful evidence was…

All scientific indicators suggest that the temperature will continue to rise. This rise in temperature will not only affect places like glaciers in the artic but the effect would be felt all over the world. With glaciers melting and water levels rising, places like our hometown of San Diego would be affected. Places close to the beach would be under water. Islands, like Hawaii, would also be affected by rising waters. Other effects of global warming would be more natural disasters, tornados and…

constant sea levels to survive. Sea levels are rising and affecting polar bears, sea turtles, and coral reefs. Polar bears are in jeopardy, becoming extinct because their frigid ecosystems are melting. Ice is breaking off of glaciers is melting. Parts of the glaciers are breaking off and dropping into the oceans. When ice melts and drops into the oceans it is causing sea levels to rise. Polar bears are…

In order to have a better understanding of Global Warming it is crucial to have a clear perspective of how it is affecting society and our planet today. Rainstorms, droughts, record high temperatures, the significant melting of ice glaciers and lastly the rising of sea levels are just some effects that have become increasingly prevailing in our day to day lives. Heat waves amongst precipitation under global warming are major threats to human and animal health and safety. The ongoing days of…

The article I choose to write about had to deal with the 150,000 Adelie penguins that died after an iceberg traps their colony off the coast of East Antarctica. Since 2011 when the huge iceberg the size of Rode Island broke off and isolated the colony only 10,000 are left from the original population of 160,000. This cut off the penguins main food supply and changed the landscape of the colonies habitat. The huge 1,210 square mile iceberg collided with the main land, which caused a land lock…

If I am lucky enough, I could also have a glacier walk to see how magnificent and glamorous the glacier are in the Antarctic. The Antarctic is not like the Arctic that still has native residents so that the Antarctic becomes an unspoiled environment and I want to see the unspoiled environment, the bright blue sky, the white…
