Greenland

The Arctic is an example of the making of a new region comprising of five countries including, the US, Canada, Norway, Russia and Denmark (Greenland)” (Rowe and Blakkisrud 67). This raises the questions of where does the domestic Arctic stop and the international Arctic start? Is the spatial unit more influential as a region or as individual countries? The Arctic region can be seen as the making…

A dangerous atmospheric deviation is influencing the world at a disturbing rate; the fundamental driver of this threatening atmospheric divergence is absolutely an important conflict that we need to be informed about and should assume responsibility to ensure this is not a problem for the next generations. Recently, temperatures have not been ascending at a normal rate each year; they are escalating aggressively. Numerous analysts, environmental advocates, and scientists are communicating…

Many people around the world are wondering what is happening with the changes in weather patterns. A scientist argues that human activity has affected the climate and this has led to a change. The issue of climate change is causing many counties, companies and people to focus on this issue. There are many reasons why global warming exists. The first has to do with the idea that humans are primarily responsible for global warming. Scientist think that human is the caused of global warming. Human…

When sea levels and temperatures rise as a result of climate change, how will plants react? In this experiment, the growth of Wisconsin Fast Plants (WFPs) will be tested when temperature and waterlogging are added to twelve WFP chambers. The question that will be attempted to answer is: How do factors of climate change—water and temperature stress—affect the growth of WFPs? Waterlogging is the act of adding too much water and temperature stress is extreme temperatures. This question is being…

“Presently, 10 percent of land area on Earth is covered with glacial ice, including glaciers, ice caps, and the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica.” (nsidc.org). But, that is changing fast in the modern world. As the temperature of Erath has gone up in the last century. “Averaged over all land and ocean surfaces, temperatures have warmed roughly 1.33°F (0.74ºC) …” (globalclimate.ucr.edu). This has led to many wondering what the possible outcomes for the future of the planet. This is…

“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.” - Robert Swan. As Swan said, global warming has always been identified as an issue, but no one has really done anything about it. Global warming is an issue that is often overlooked when observing modern day politics. It may seem like no one on planet earth cares, but a some people actually do, one of them being Al Gore. Gore was the democratic candidate for the election of 2000; most of his platform revolved…

When looking at the second World War, the need to understand the United States entered the naval war in August 1941 even though it was officially neutral. Starting on Aug. 12, United States warships escorted British convoys as far as Iceland and Greenland. The U.S. forces also took over the occupation of Iceland following the British invasion of the island and in June 1941, the United States Congress passed the Lend Lease Act, which allowed the United States to lease military equipment to…

That's what we’ve got here. The past couple of years the Inuit in Greenland and in Alaska say the Earth is wobbling. Their sky has changed. The stars, the moon, the sun are not where they used to be before the wobble. Any change to that extreme and fragile environment impacts their way of life. Now they have longer days…

Plate tectonics is the belief the lithosphere is separated into a few dozen plates that move around across the earth 's surface relative to each other, like big pieces of ice on a lake. If we were able to lay the earth flat to see where the plates were positioned, it would have the appearance of an orange peel; with the earth 's crust as the orange color shell and the white as the lithosphere. The break points would be fault lines, the plate’s outer perimeter that aligns and intersects them.…

Global Pattern- Malaria Figure 1: global malaria distribution figure 2: global distribution of malaria mosquito Geographic Distribution of Malaria As shown on figure 1, the risk of malaria disease is concentrated between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, such as Sub-Sahara in Africa, north of South America and Southeast of Asia. Malaria is more concentrated here because these areas have similar patterns such breeding of Anopheles mosquito. This is due to…
