Arctic Survival – from Success to Failure

The tundra is by far the coldest type of biome, as it is known for its low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Occurring primarily near the Arctic within the Northern Hemisphere, the soil may be frozen all year up to a few feet, which allows no tree growth. However, a few animals have adapted to these conditions. These animals include lemmings, hares, oxen, foxes, wolves, and more. Within the tundra biome there are two different types of tundra biomes, arctic tundra and alpine tundra.

Many people would find it easy to sympathize with the conservation of the natural, magnificent wilderness and all of its glory; and Subhankar Banerjee, the author of Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: Seasons of Life and Land, A Photographic Journey, uses that sympathy to gain the reader’s support in his claims. While his article does offer a very compassionate viewpoint with vivid imagery to capture the reader’s attention, it lacks strong logos arguments to back up his claims and falls victim to a few major logical fallacy points that injure his stance.

The tundra is one of the cooldest land biomes on the planet. Due to the high winds and the permafrost there are no trees becuase it dosent allow the growth of deep roots. All the producers and othe need to get adapted to the cold temperatures, little sun and short growing season to stay alive. The tundra is considered a poor enviroment thats low in resources. The dead minerals get recycled by othe decomposers like the slime molds, fungi, and bacteria. Rain increases photosynthesis and decomposition. Air pollution kills lichen in the cold tundra. The warmer climates allow trees to invade the shade out the small tundra plants. And warmer temperatures can increase decompositon, while releasing more CO2 into the air causing mor global

There are many factors altering group behavior and effectiveness, such as decision- making, cohesion and communication (Crocker, 2016). The later has also shown a positive relationship with group task cohesion (Smith et al., 2013), and methods of enhancing intrateam

Everyone values something like cars or jobs. A lot of people value people or MVPs in their life like their parents, or a sports player. A MVP has to try hard, they won't give up, and respects others. In the book Surviving Antarctica there are five teenagers that work together get to south pole, and they are competing to be MVP. I think Grace should be the MVP because she played her part, and didn't give up.

What is the federal government’s strategy to support its claims to sovereignty in the high Arctic?

The Tundra soils are made at high latitudes. It is normally very cold in the Tundra. Tundra soils are usually frozen. It is normally classified as Gelisols.

In the podcast “Alone Across the Arctic,” Pam Flowers talked about her dream of crossing the Arctic border by dog sled and after 40 years, it came true. No one sponsored Flowers, and on top of that, when she told her neighbor Dave about her money problems, he bluntly said, “Will what did ya’ expect? You’re five feet nothing, what are ya’ one hundred pounds soaking wet, and those eight dog of yours are nothing but a bunch of clunkers. No body believed in you and you’re gonna fail.” Flowers didn’t listen to a word he said and set out on her journey. She found wonder in the scenery but encountered problems like storms. Furthermore, the one time she put her dog Robert, with her lead dog, Robert got the whole team running towards a bear. Everything

Environmental change in the Arctic has been a subject of recent interest within the discourse of global warming, climate change, and indigenous rights; however, scholars have yet to examine the importance of 20th century racial, cultural, and environmental interactions within Northern Canada. Specifically, the Northern areas of Ontario, Quebec, and Manitoba provide interesting and important issues that are critical to current discussions of global warming, climate change, and water rights and quality because of their location to the Hudson Bay and the intertwined environmental experience. Unlike other areas of Northern Canada, areas in Northern Quebec, Manitoba, and Ontario are subject to multiple political systems (i.e. provincial, federal,

One man's trash is another man's treasure as the old adage goes, but what about when one man's trash is another species pandemic. Pollution has been plaguing humans for centuries, and as a result, the accumulation of this garbage has begun to significantly affect populations other than human beings. A striking example of this is found in Arctic Polar bear populations which as of recently are beginning to display some eerie side effects. Most individuals tend not to think about where their trash goes the second it leaves their hands, but it has to go somewhere. This somewhere is often times the ocean where the trash congregates and migrates around the world where it is consumed by the various species which dwell in its depths. The concentration of these toxins builds slowly within the various species that are exposed to it. Consequently, these concentrations increase as one moves up the food web, and at the top of the Arctic food web sits the beloved polar bear which bears the brunt of these ever increasing concentrations expressed through various health complications.

The Arctic Lowlands are found between the Canadian Shield and Innuation regions. It is rocky with rounded hills. Also the surface is frozen all year. There is atleast a day in a year that the whole day is darkness. some of the natural resources you can find is coal,lead,ainc,soapstone, and natural

North Americas first inhabitants from across the Bering Strait, sometimes referred to as “the hobbits of the north”, has been one of sciences longstanding mysteries. There are often questions of who arrived first, how the arctic region was settled, and why these people left Eurasia in the first place. Discovery news published an article titled “Hobbits of the Arctic traced by DNA”, which was written on August 28th, 2014 by Eric Miller to help answer some of these questions.

The walrus’s scientific name is Odobenus Rosmarus, the adults weigh about 4,400 lbs. The adults measure up to 9.4 ft.it is a large flippered marine animal with a discontinuous distribution about the North Pole in in the Arctic Ocean and subarctic seas of the Northern Hemisphere. The walrus has played a prominent role in the cultures of many indigenous Arctic peoples, who have hunted the walrus for its meat, fat, skin, tusks, and bone. The walrus can live to about 20-30 years old.Grayish-brown that are small are babys.

Arctic cat has been around for a long time from 1960 to present day. Edgar Hetteen founded the company and then went bankrupt in 1982. Then the company Arctco stepped into his place and created the same things Hetteen made. Arctco was successful and then changed the name back to the original Arctic Cat. Their Headquarters is in Plymouth, Minnesota and the majority of manufacturing is in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.

The north and south poles also known as the arctic and Antarctic are two isolated regions of the planet located in each hemisphere of the planet. When for some reasons these two regions come to our minds we used to think in two far, isolated, cold, and uninhabited place of the world. It is true the they seem very similar but is actually the opposite. Their weather and topography is not the same, they have different animals, and their populations are quite different.
