Sea ice

Did you know that polar bears can be pregnant from 195 - 265 days? Polar bears are only found in the Arctic. Their frequently seen along or near coasts. The most important habitats for polar bears are the edges of pack ice, where currents and wind interact.Sea ice is vital to polar bears. It provides a platform for them to hunt, live breed, and in some cases, create maternal dens. Polar bears are the cutest thing ever, they’re like a little plush animal! They have many adaptations.…

Bears are capable of adapting to numerous changes of environment. This is why there is such a wide variety of bears, and it is why each species is different and has its own unique characteristics. These traits are often necessary in order for the bear to survive with its surroundings (“Bear”). There are three kinds of bears in North America, and the most common is the American black bear (“North America’s Bears…”) They are normally found in forests and make great tree climbers, but may be seen…

Narwhals Hey fifth grade! I find narwhals very interesting, and for one thing narwhals are also known as “the unicorns of the ocean”; because of their horn-like tusks. They are “one of the rarest whales in the world”. Narwhals diets consist of squid, fish, and shrimp. They are normally “found in the Atlantic and Russian parts of the Arctic”. Narwhals don’t move very fast until they are being chased by a predator”. Narwhals travel in groups of 10-100, or sometimes more. Narwhals are…

2002. On the opposite end of the spectrum, global climate change can also result in increased flooding. There is also controversy over whether global warming will increase the frequency and severity of hurricanes and tropical storms. Changes in Sea Level and Ice Coverage As a consequence of global…

Global Warming is provoking sea level to accelerate in the accumulation in height, and coastal flooding proliferating places like the U.S. East Coast, and the Gulf Of Mexico (How). Wildfires are increasing, and the season that it takes place in is getting longer it is affecting the…

Everything that we do on this planet can affect how we will live in the present and future. Throughout the years of developing a better world, we have also destroyed it in the process. As we continue to do our ways of inducing climate change, the outcome of a larger and a lot more dangerous disasters is inevitable. The world we may live in may change for the worst. Climate change is a way of understanding how molecules can affect other molecules differently in an environment. This change can…

experiment since I will be testing different methods of melting ice. The solution resulting from the experiment can be used throughout the world to make our roads safer. The literary reviews for this experiment are from two different sources, which both identify problems and potential solutions that relate to this experiment. Virginia’s Road Anti-Icing, Pre-Treatment, and De-Icing article addresses several treatment types, the dangers of black ice, and the different…

Geoscientist have recently brought an end to a once mind boggling mystery of how large lakes that sit above the Greenland ice sheet drain billions of gallons of water in hours! The Greenland ice sheet extends about 656,000 miles covering most of the island. As ice melts it creates huge lake but these massive lakes are soon empty of water; where does it go? “In 2006, Greenland's North Lake, a 2.2 square-mile (5.6 square kilometers) supraglacial meltwater lake, drained almost 12 billion gallons…

8. ice cores Ice cores in areas such as Greenland, Antarctica, and other areas that are cold allows the snow to accumulate over the years and each new layer of snow compress the snow into ice. Though in these ice cores are air bubbles that contains a sample of the atmosphere during that snowfall. This allows climatologist determined how the climate has changed over time and reconstruct the temperatures of the time period and see how carbon dioxide have influenced the earth climate. With the air…
