is not only Toronto that suffers from these effects. The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have decreased in mass and are melting, making the water level globally rise. Greenland lost 150 to 250 cubic kilometres of ice per year in 2002 and that lasted until 2006. Antarctica lost 152 cubic kilometres of ice between the years 2002 and 2005. Global sea levels rose about 17 centimetres in the last century because of melting ice caps. Small islands and cities like New Orleans will be underwater if…

carbon dioxide and a small amount of nitrogen. The atmospheric mass is 93 times that of Earth's atmosphere, whereas the pressure at the planet's surface is about 92 times that at Earth's surface—a pressure equivalent to that at a depth of nearly 1 kilometre under Earth's oceans. The density at the surface is 65 kg/m3, 6.5% that of water or…

it sometimes is has an atmosphere. When Pluto's elliptical orbit takes it closer to the Sun, its surface ice thaws and forms a thin atmosphere primarily of nitrogen which slowly escapes the planet. It also has a methane haze that covers about 161 kilometres above the surface. The methane is dissociated by sunlight into hydrocarbons that fall to the surface and coat the ice with a dark covering, it is also a type of fumes. When Pluto travels away from the Sun the atmosphere then freezes back to…

Japan 2011 Tsunami By Jayden Dwyer Summary On March 11, 2011, 231 miles northeast of Japan a 9.1-magnitude earthquake occurred 15.2 miles underwater. This is the biggest earthquake in Japanese history. The earthquake erupted along a subduction zone, this is where two tectonic plates meet and collide (convergent) with each other. Subduction is a process where one of the two plates slides underneath the other plate melting into the mantle, this builds up stress between the two…
