Ice-T

“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…

When it snows When it snows what comes to your mind? Maybe snow angels, maybe sledding, or hot chocolate. I love when it snows because I love winter. I like having to wear big jackets, scarfs, and boots. It usually feels like winter to me around the end of November or at the beginning of December. Snow makes me want to cozy up with a blanket in my warm pajamas and fuzzy socks and watch Christmas movies all day while drinking hot chocolate. In 2014 my family and I had a competition…

This activity is one of the traditional games the Iroquois would play. The snow snake game was played in the winter, in an area with enough space, after the hunting men came back. The game would be a large celebration that the women and kids would get into as well. It could be comparable to football and baseball games because all the families and friends would come to cheer on their favorite player. Each player carved a piece of wood into a spear shape with a curved end. Then, the player would…

Salt use on roads in winter salt is a common way to clear slippery roads. Salt lowers the temperature of the water which causes it to melt and it's one of the effective way of lower weather related collision. Using salt on road lower car accidents on highway up to 80%. However, salt used on roads causes rust on cars and environmental studies had showed that salt use for de-icing could affect water supplies, soil,and wildlife. Negative effect of using road salt The more salt that gets into…

by glaciers? The Laurentide ice sheet was 13 million square miles. And it shaped Canada and Minnesota. In this paper, I will explain the effects of the Laurentide ice sheet on Minnesota's landscape. Glaciers may seem irrelevant to how we live now because in Minnesota there hasn't been a glacier for a long time but, they formed our state. The last glacial advance start of the Des Moines lobe was about 75,000 years ago. The last glacial maximum which means most ice, was around 14,000 years…

Individually, snowflakes are diminutive, harmless ice crystals. However, when these seemingly innocent snowflakes cluster together in immense formations known as snow, they sustain a powerful ability to impact our world. Snowy weather has significantly affected the survival and lifestyle of nature and living things. In brief, snow poses large threats to the health, comfort, and well-being of humans, alters the process, features, and survival of plants, as well as interfere with the normal…

Snow flies through the air. Blistery, frigid, and stinging air flows through the crowd. The sound of the ice crunching as the board glides over the shiny course projects through the Phoenix Snow Park in PyeongChang, South Korea. 17 year old Red Gerard is having the run of his life as he spins through the air. His final run is his best yet, with him using the whole slopestyle course to his advantage. After falling in both of his first two runs, things weren’t looking too good. Red was sitting in…

were children. Perhaps next time we are in pain, we should think twice before taking that pill. Is it necessary? Is it the answer for our chronic pain? Atul Gwande introduces us to the model of the hurricane vs the ice cube in his book “Complications” by asking “are people more like ice cubes or like hurricanes?”…

The group played an ice breaker where if you identified with the person in the middle, a person had to run to and link arms with the person in middle. I sat back and observed as the student with visual impaired was clueless to her surroundings. I become upset so I stepped up to intervene the icebreaker. I pointed out to the group that the ice breaker was not being inclusive to all in attendance. I suggested instead of running to…
