Sea ice

is Produced when Dry Ice is placed in Water The main goal of the article written is to try to figure out where the dry ice-in-water-fog (DIWF) was coming from, for there has been discussion if the fog is coming from the water or if it is coming from the dry ice being sublimed. In their terms, they hope “to describe on molecular terms what may be happening in this demonstration” (644). Researchers also desired to mathematically make sense of the reaction that occurs when dry ice is placed into…

It’s a snow day!! You gaze into the bright sky, and see the tiny little snowflakes falling. You try to catch them in your mouth. Wait, how do snowflakes form, why do they look the way they do, and how are they all different? Lets learn about snowflakes! To start off, snowflakes are fascinating and all, but how do they form? According to the article, Snow Day!, it can begin snowing at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. It being 32 degrees Fahrenheit the wonderful snowflakes will be enormous and stick to…

The top 1/3 of a particular mountain in Yellowstone contains a large population of white bark pine trees and about twenty grizzly bears. Over about twenty years, average temperatures get significantly warmer due to pollution and climate change. As modeled by the diagram, warmer temperatures lead to an increase in the population of white bark pine infesting beetles. An increase in the beetles overwhelms the defense systems of the white bark pine trees, and they are completely wiped out from the…

An iPhone was placed in the hands of Rylee for the first time. An app (Pokemon Go) was uploaded that every person in her school talks about. The location services were turned on, on Rylee’s phone and she saunters around outside by herself for hours. Rylee accumulated her fiftieth Pokemon as she looks up and notices the pitch black viewpoint, she wondered where she was. Nothing but a whistle of the nippy wind was flying by her ear. Rylee continues to walk a little further and she trusts herself…

Was the Effect of the Type of Dairy Product Used on the Height of the Ice Cream Formation? Purpose: The purpose of the experiment conducted was to find out how different dairy products used to make ice cream affect how tall of a formation can be shaped out of the ice cream. Background Information: Most people experience the joy of making their own ice cream when they are kids, but what is the science behind it? Homemade ice cream is made by combining a mixture of a chosen dairy product,…

of Earth 's climate has existed controlled by the ice age phases. The ice age phases consisted of extended cold temperature periods with glaciers where massive ice sheets grew on the mainland masses on and around the poles. Because of the ocean water evaporating, the water was being sealed up onto the land as ice. This ice sheet build up has drastically lowered worldwide sea level. Throughout the shorter, hotter, breaks called interglacials, the ice sheets have degenerated, and with the water…

Endurance by Alfred Lansing is an intense, attention-grabbing story based on Sir Ernest Shackleton’s attempt to be the first person to ever cross the continent of Antarctica. Ernest Shackleton was an Irish Explorer who specialized to explorations to the Artic region. His first exploration to the Artic region was under the command of Robert Scott from 1901-1903. Six years later, he was knighted for commanding the successful British Antarctica Expedition that began in 1907 and ended in 1909. On…

Creatures like polar bears, whales and seals are changing movement designs, thusly affecting local individuals who rely on upon them for sustenance" (Scheer and Moss, 2016). In addition, the glaciers are also melting, thus disturbing sea levels across the world. “Sea level is expected to rise some three feet on average around the world in the next century, flooding over 22,000 square miles in the United States alone. This pressing issue threatens island nations especially” (Scheer and Moss,…

painting Four Wooden Sculptures (Vier Holzplastiken) (recto)/ Ice Skater (Schlittschuhläufer) (verso), by Ernest Ludwig Kirchner two visual elements present are color and space. In both pieces, the artist uses the colors brown, black, red, white, green and blue in both paintings. In the ice skater piece, the blue symbolizes the sky, white equals snow, green means the ground, the brown and red colors outline the figure, the black shows the ice skates and face and gives the figure a sense of human…

Snow and Ice Data Centre (an American institution), “more than 100 million people currently live within 1 [metre] of mean sea level”, meaning that close to 100 million people could and will be displaced from their homes within the next few hundred years, due to sea level rise (2010). There are several factors that contribute to the rise of global sea-level, both directly (warming oceans, expansion of ocean particles and melting glaciers) and indirectly (global warming and the loss of ice…
