    One of the main abiotic factors influencing the distribution of biomes is global atmospheric circulation. Global atmospheric circulation is the mass movement of air around earth caused by thermal energy. This mass movement of air causes three distinct atmospheric circulation cells to form, these are the Hadley Cell, Ferrel Cell and Polar Cell. Between these three cells is a dynamic area called the Intertropical Convergence Zone. Persson (2006) tells us that the Hadley Cell is caused by solar…

    In the past few centuries Earth’s climate has change dramatically with the increase of greenhouse gasses, and changes in global temperature. Global climate change has become a world wide spread issue. The international panel for climate change says global climate change is the result of the anthropogenic increases of carbon dioxide, and other greenhouse gases. “Soil biological processes have major long-term effects on composition of Earth’s atmosphere, which in turn influences all living things,…

    when heated), melting glaciers, rising ocean heat, humidity increases earlier onset of spring. Raising the temperature of the surface layer of the atmosphere leads to a shift of climatic zones, causing the melting of Arctic and Antarctic ice, and permafrost, leading to rising sea levels. Climate change impacts on the animal kingdom. Many species become extinct, others are changing the traditional habitat. The risk of relocation inhabitants of the tropics to temperate latitudes is that the…

    surface of mars is very dusty, but the ground is frozen solid (Life On Mars). Mars has the North and South Pole just like Earth. The North and South Pole on Mars both have ice caps made from water and carbon dioxide. Most of the water on Mars forms permafrost which coats the planet’s surface (Exploring Life’s Mysteries). Scientists have recently found liquid water on Mars, but it is mars atmosphere that creates a problem for intelligent life to live on the planet. Mars atmosphere severely lacks…

    GG310 OCEANOGRAPHY Evaluate the geological evidence for so-called ‘Snowball Earth’ glacial episodes in the Precambrian and the hypothesis that these episodes were critical in the evolution of complex life. Introduction The importance of this period is that multicellular evolution began to accelerate after the last glacial ended.refbookpage829.The term Snowball Earth refers to the hypothesis that in the distant past, specifically the Cryogenian period (850-630 million years ago), the earth’s…
