Medieval Warm Period

Developments in the Humanities During the Early,High and Late Middle Ages The study of humanities allows us to explore the ways in which the changing concepts of nature and the individual differ in each historical period and helps us to characterize the important developments of each period. Examining specific works of the Middle Ages enables us to describe our views of the changes that occur and helps to explain how and why the concepts evolved the way they did. The Middle Ages provided a unique

It is causing all of the the water in the desert to evaporate constantly. Some areas out there where it is still wet will receive long dry weather until precipitation occurs. Water levels are expected to drop nearly 30% in the next few years. Warm air in the tropics is heating up which means there will be more tropical thunderstorms, this will give the deserts and other dry places not in the tropic region a longer and tougher drought. Global warming can mean getting warmer, and when it gets

is a religious statue of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, attributed to the second quarter of the fourteenth century, and is now located in the Musée du Louvre. The statue is made from stone, but the drapery develops from the early medieval period into the complex naturalistic style of gothic age, making the medium seem light and sculpted instead of carved. The Christ Child and the Virgin form a new relationship in this sculpture, a more intimate relationship between mother and son, as

During the medieval time period of 200 AD to 1650 AD, Europe experienced a fluctuation in population numbers. Factors such as disease, famine, war, and others all contribute to the changes in population. A trend to help represent the medieval demography show a population decline during the Late Antiquity, slow population growth during the Early Middle Ages, large population expansion during the High Middle Ages, and a variation of population decline and growth during the Late Middle Ages. The Late

and more resistant to decomposition replaced previous species. (Hansen 2016) The accumulating peat thus increased the deposition of bog iron and available supplies for Vikings to then transform into the spears, axes, swords, helmets, and armor that they needed to conduct extensive raiding of settlements and battle effectively against larger European forces. More importantly, Scandinavia’s iron resources enabled the creation and widespread adoption of shipbuilding technologies that facilitated territorial

history there has been at least 4 major ice ages. These ice ages occurring, approximately 2 billion years ago, 850 - 630 million years ago, 460 - 420 million years ago, and 360 - 260 million years ago. Humans are currently living in an interglacial period of time, which is not expected to form another ice age due to our current climate state. History can show representations of climate change on

The portrait that I decided to analyze was called The Ponte Salario by “Hubert Robert. The reason that I decided to choose this painting was because it had a very natural feel to it. The painting takes place outdoors and there is an older building that looks as if it dates back thousands of years. The bridge connected to the tower made of rock which looks very run down; I am assuming it is from age. According to Robert ‘The Ponte Salario takes its name from the Via Salaria, the old route linking

The Middle Ages was from the 5th to the 15th century. The Middle Ages was the time period between the decline of the Western Roman Empire and the Renaissance. Many scholars call the era the medieval period or the Dark Ages instead of the Middle Ages. During these times, the Great Schism occurred and the empire split into two, the Western Roman Empire and Eastern Roman Empire. These two empires became known as the Roman Catholic Church and the Greek Orthodox Church. The Roman Empire officially collapsed

and summer. (Mowat 1965) Fortunately for the Vikings, shifting patterns in ocean thermohaline circulation during the Medieval Warm Period increased surface temperatures by 1.5 °C in the North Atlantic. (Sharpe 1991) The resulting reduction in drift ice and stormy weather by 800 CE ultimately facilitated fast and reliable passage across the North Sea. Clearer weather conditions and better visibility also improved navigation by sight that Scandinavian seafarers relied upon for judging the speed, direction

Carcassonne is a hilltop town in southern France that is famous for it’s medieval citadel La Cité. The town has been inhabited since the Neolithic period. It is located in the Aude plain, right in between historic trade routes. Later the Romans recognized its importance and occupied the land until the fall of the Roman empire. It was then taken over by the Visigoths in the 15th century. Today it is an excellent example of a medieval fortified town, with huge defences circling the castle, and a gothic
