Polar region

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) live throughout the ice-covered waters of the circumpolar Arctic, particularly in near shore annual ice over the continental shelf where biological productivity is highest. However, to a large degree under scenarios predicted by climate change models, these preferred sea ice habitats will be substantially altered. Spatial and temporal sea ice changes will lead to shifts in trophic interactions involving polar bears through reduced availability and abundance of their…

Topic: Not Too Late for Polar Bears Specific purpose: To inform the class about the Arctic is warming too. How will Polar Bears survive by 2050? Central idea: Without Polar Bears, other animals couldn’t survive. Polar Bears kill other animals so that smaller animals can eat to survive. Smaller animals do this by eating the leftover scraps from polar bears. Introduction: On August 1881 a naturalist by the name of John Muir sailing off the coast of Alaska discovered a large mammal. He said they…

Black bears are the most abundant and adaptable bear in its family and therefore are widely distributed (Youth 1999). They are the smallest on the North American continent though its species Ursus americanus has several subspecies in B.C. (Blood, Black Bears in British Columbia 2001). Most bears are black, hence the name black bear, however, they can have a variety of different shades of brown coat and sometimes even white (Blood, Black Bears in British Columbia 2001). These bears become…

Wilson, K. (2002). Bear snores on. Simon and Schuster. “One by one, a whole host of different animals and birds find their way out of the cold and into Bear's cave to warm up. But even after the tea has been brewed and the corn has been popped, Bear just snores on! See what happens when he finally wakes up and finds his cave full of uninvited guests -- all of them having a party without him!” (goodreads.com) After reading the book to the kids have them make a cave for the bear and his friends.…

While events in these three books echo the history of their respective countries, their main characters do as well. In One Hundred Years of Solitude, the Buendía family represents different parts of Colombia as the family cycles through life and death. All members of the Buendía family are solitary in some way, which represents the isolated of Latin America. According to Laura Turgeon in World Literature and its Times, their seclusion is “symbolic of . . . their culture, their continent . . .…

resources are still abundant and won’t deteriorate. With that being said, people today have not extended out soon enough to be able to provide a sustainable prosperity life for all. People just started to take notice of the Climate change, and the polar ice caps, when they realized that we are all on the same sinking boat, and that we are sinking fast because of the pollution and environmental wastes we have exerted out into our ecosystems, and nature. I believe that globalization does not…

migrants who were returning home. Many factors other than migration, have contributed to change in AE. Technological advances exposed to region to a more standard form of English (Richards, 2001). As further advances were made, it became easier for individuals to travel; the residents of Appalachia were exposed to more forms of English. These advances made the region more susceptible to change, which accounts for the changes in…

Hello and welcome! Thanks for coming by today. So, I have an idea for a movie that will be unlike anything you have ever heard of, thought of, or have seen. One of the best things about this pitch you’re going to hear is that it is for an animated film project, which allows us to save some costs and yet be even more adventurous. I got the idea from a Chinese graphic novel and I have lined up Chinese investors to bring the idea to the screen. So, like, are you ready? Sweet...take a seat. We open…

In 1950, China forced Tibet to be part of the People’s Republic of China. The People’s Republic of China was created by Mao Zedong, he wanted it to become the “the people’s democratic republic”. This was not as simple as it sounds. China gave no choice to the Tibetans on whether or not they could join. China was not so considerate when doing so. China was very brutal to Tibet. What China has done to Tibet, causes them to be seen as an independent state, which is no good for Tibet. The upcoming…

The Warm Blue Dot: Evidence for Anthropological Global Warming Introduction Throughout the long history of the Earth, the global climate has fluctuated drastically, ranging from tropical to glacial. In the mid-18th century, the Industrial Revolution began, and humanity began a bilateral campaign: one waged with the goal of achieving a prosperous, industrialized future, and another, inadvertently waged against the environment. The purpose of this literature review is to examine the influence of…
