Polar ice cap

Warming temperatures at the poles have led to a massive decrease in the amount of ice available for tundra animal populations to dwell. In fact, the U.S. Geological Survey has predicted that two-thirds of polar bear sub-populations will be annihilated by 2050 (The Consequences of Global Warming on Wildlife). Not only will we lose opportunities to see polar bears’ adorably fluffy faces, but the decrease in polar bear populations will derail the entire tundra food chain. With fewer predators, seal

in October saying that the pair never made it all the way to the top. The Document was published for everyone to see in the New York Globe, which was owned by Thomas Hubbard, who declared that since the McKinley affair, that Cook also lied on the polar claim. On October 24, the New York Herald state that before the affidavit was even signed, that Barrill had met with Peary’s representatives to discuss the financial issue for calling Cook a liar. In the paper quoted Barrill's business partner who

Over the years the United States ' environmental policies have expanded as well as the awareness of the public and the opinions of many party members, interest groups, and those directly effected by the environment 's decline. There are many institutions that have an effect on environmental policy like congress, many federal agencies, the office of management and budget and the executive branch, nongovernmental forces, individual citizens, and the main one, the federal Environmental Protection Agency

(Carbon Dioxide). With the increase production of carbon emissions from industrial activity and general car emissions is now start to harm the environment, which is resulting in environmental disasters from rising sea levels from the melting of the ice caps. Another type of pollution is air pollutant, is any air pollutant that is emitted into the air. Such pollutants can involve physical, chemical, biological, radioactive substances or matter. With the increasing level of air pollutants is causing

all over the world will be forced out of their homes and will not have much to turn to. “Iceland is losing its ice, and it's not alone. Greenland's 10,000-year-old ice sheet is retreating at a rate that has astonished scientists who study it. Arctic Ocean sea ice has shrunk by 6 percent since 1978, while the average thickness has declined by 40 percent in recent decades, threatening polar bears, seals and the Inuit people who hunt them (Woodard).” Those areas will no longer be suitable to live in

Climate Change The planet that is our home never ceases to amaze mankind with its seemingly never-ending mysteries. Home to about 8.7 million various species that roam the globe; the Planet Earth is considerably the most habituated planet in our solar system. Despite numerous attempts to research the other fellow planets in our system, it appears that many drastic changes have been taking place on our home planet. From the evolution of plants and animals, to the advancements in modern technology

SECTION A Astronomy is the science of everything which can be included in the too small a term for such huge a thing called Universe.Astronomy has always fascinated me as a child and even now.I can remember many a day when I , a small little 6 year old, would stare into the starry sky and wonder what lies beyond the skies. Back then though I would make small childish stories about what I thought would be on the moon and all the stars.Now through these Astronomy lessons I can learn about everything

Mars, the red planet, and fourth planet from the sun. What is Mars really like, is it cold or hot, wet or dry? Can humans live on Mars, and if so how? For decades scientists have been studying Mars, they have been using rovers and from there they collected data, samples, and took pictures. These rovers study Mars’ atmosphere, temperatures, weather, if it has water, and a lot more. With all of the data the scientists have gathered we know that Mars’ atmosphere is a lot different than our, yet

several things could happen. The increase of temperature could alter the growth of crops in areas near the equator due to insufficient rain and heat. This could really hurt countries that rely in imported food. With the high temperatures the polar ice caps could melt and cause the sea water level to go up 1 to 3 feet. This could take out small islands, coastal cities and some shallow rivers. The Everglades in Florida would be almost, if not totally, wiped right off the map. The Everglades is

The global average air temperature has increased, since 1880, by 0.85 degrees Celsius. The warmer climate means that many of the Earth’s polar ice caps are slowly melting. Sea ice normally reflects the heat, whereas water absorbs it. Because there is slowly becoming less and less sea ice, more heat is being absorbed, and this increase in heat in turn melts sea ice, which is then causing sea levels to rise (Australian Conservation Foundation, 2014). Thermal expansion – water expanding due to heat –
