Tundra

natural gas. It also leads Canada in the production of natural gas through unconventional well production. Natural Gas or Methane (NH4) left in its organic state, and let migrate in the atmosphere as is the case in the Arctic with the thawing of the tundra, is 20 times more harmful as a greenhouse gas then Carbon Dioxide (CO2). When it is burned Methane is relatively cleaner and is less harmful to the environment in terms of greenhouse gas emissions than coal and other fossil fuels. This has…

structure either it has four stories or 8 stories. Due to this similar construction, it is difficult to distinguish homes as all have identical structure. The geography of Russia is divided into the vast territory of five natural zones, the taiga, the tundra, the steppe or plain, the mountain and arid zone. Most of the Russia is based on the two plains that are known as West Siberian Plain and the East European Plain, two lands that are known as the Kolyma and the North Siberian Plain that are…

Greenhouse effect occurs when visible light from the sun is given to the earth, this visible light coming in passes through the atmospheric layers to warm up the earth. This warming of the planet is reflected back in longer wavelength known as infrared radiation. Although it is radiated back into space some of this radiation does not pass the atmosphere and is radiated back. This is a natural effect but as more greenhouse gasses are put out by humans through the burning of fossil fuels and clear…

Biome Description The Tropical Rainforest is a location in which there is a large variety of different plants and animals. There are large amount of rainfall each year and it is really humid, yet the temperatures are really high, therefore it is very warm in that area. There is a lot of animals and plants that live in the Tropical Rainforest, and according to ¨Learning About Rainforest¨, ¨As many as 30 million species of plants and animals live in tropical rainforests. ¨ (L.A.R). The Tropical…

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…

Global warming is a stealthy reality of our society that can deplete our planet. This reality creates a slow and steady increase in the earth 's temperature. It affects our everyday life and while many in our society have acknowledged that and attempt to restore the destruction by going "green," there are plenty of alternatives to pollution creating toxins that harm the ozone layer. This ozone layer is destructed by the buildup of atmospheric carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases, which in turn…

To Die or Not to Die, That is the Question John Hardwig’s position in his article “Is There A Duty To Die”, is that life without connection is meaningless, and that we not individuals devoid of connections, therefore, the greatest validation of our connections is through meaning in death with a duty to die. This article is written about the concept that humans may have a “duty to die”. Hardwig believes that he himself may have to face the possibility of a duty to die one day. He also believes…

Nikki Anderson GRIZZLY BEAR Ursus arctos horribilis Habitat- Grizzly bears are found in many different habitats, from dense forests to subalpine meadows, open plains and arctic tundra. In North America, grizzly bears are found in western Canada, Alaska, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and a potentially a small population in Washington. Historically, they could be found from Alaska to Mexico and from California to Ohio. The grizzly bear was once…

Nature is something that has surrounded us for thousands of years and will continue to surround us for many more years to come. Whether we realize it or not, at some point in our life nature has helped shape us into who we are today. Some people may say nature brought them closer to their cultural heritage, while others may say nature helped inspire them to have a clearer picture of reality. I personally relate nature more to my cultural heritage which also defines some of my moral values that I…
