The environment is changing, well the world is. For many years mankind has been finding ways to make Earth easier and livable, therefore, we have been cutting down various trees, building houses, and industries to make Earth more adaptable for humankind. These mass productions are polluting our environment, due to the fact that carbon dioxide is being released into the atmosphere. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has a very destructive consequence, global warming. Global warming…

Both being green house gases, carbon dioxide and methane trap in heat to allow our earth to have moderate climates. With the excess amount of methane, however, this will cause climate change and the melting of Greenland and Iceland which will cause sea levels to rise. This creates a chain reaction because if the environment is under water, there is no chance for life to be sustained. Despite the fact that people may argue that there is no correlation between the…

new centers of commercial activity. The first economic boom in the West was mining as mineral strike sped up the economy’s development. Cattle ranching was also another important factor in the changing economy of the West. The Great Plains’ vast greenlands of the provided a widespread region where cattle ranchers could graze their herds with no cost on land unrestricted by private farms.

Global warming has been a major issue around the world in these past years. Many scientists have been in search for solutions those including fracking and recycling followed by a variety of other suggested methods. When learning about the global environment we tend to direct our attention to one specific continent, forgetting that global warming is not only effecting the United States(U.S) but is also effecting all of the other countries and land masses. By narrowing in on two locational…

Last year was the hottest year ever recorded in history! The earth’s temperature is getting warmer. We are experiencing many unprecedented storms, landscape transformations, etc. These modifications in our weather patterns must concern us. We must consider this a catastrophic issue. Dangerous heat waves, severe droughts, rising sea levels indicate our need to be cautious. Our world is getting hotter and more unpredictable as the climate affects it. First, we notice the rising temperatures of…

Ian Alberts, BIOL118 Dr. Hochwender: Glacier change in Antarctica Looking specifically at the temperature changes in Antarctica, the last 120 years have seen a noticeable rise (Davies 2017). Normally, such drastic changes could be explained by Antarctic Oscillation, defined as different winds changing strength and direction, but these temperature changes are too drastic to blame it on anything we have ever witnessed in history. Greenhouse gasses entering the atmosphere since the industrial…

Clemence Boboy Professor Hollinger Course 1301 26 October 2017 Theory of “Nullification” “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined.

Baleen Whales Baleen whales are the largest animals on earth, yet they feed on some of the smallest animals in the ocean. There are 12 baleen whale species divided into 4 families: Right, Pygmy right, Gray, and Rorqual. Characteristic baleen plates and paired blowholes help distinguish baleen whales from toothed whales. Whaling is definitely affecting the world's ecosystems. It has decimated the great whale population, especially in the southern hemisphere. The whales are vital to the food…

Throughout the list of documentaries, the two that best compare to each other in my opinion would be Nanook of the North, and Night and Frog.

Nanook of the North is a silent documentary, which captures the struggles of a man name Nanook and his family in the Canadian artic. Similarly, the film Night and Frog is a short film documentary that captures the struggles, and describes the…
