Wabash Watershed (1961-1990) Wabash Watershed (1961-1990) Introduction Global warming is a resultant of Heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere. The release of these gases has increased in the last 500 years since the industrial revolution. There is an expectation that global warming will result to rising sea levels‚ droughts‚ fires‚ heat waves‚ extreme storms‚ heavy rainfall‚ floods‚ and melting of snow and ice. These changes as envisaged would affect agriculture and general

Chapter 7 2. Concept: Key factors that influence an area’s climate are incoming solar energy‚ the earth’s rotation‚ global patterns of air and water movement‚ gases in the atmosphere‚ and the earth’s surface features. It is important to understand the difference between weather and climate. Weather is a set of physical conditions of the lower atmosphere‚ including temperature‚ precipitation‚ humidity‚ wind speed‚ cloud cover‚ and other factors‚ in a given area over a period of hours or days.

If one is at an oceanic wilderness‚ all seaweed is edible. If one is stranded in the arctic‚ all vegetation is edible with the exception of mushrooms. Deer is probably the best meat to have in the‚ wilder- ness though it may be hard to hunt without the proper equipment. When hunting and eating remember fat is a very important

gallons of crude oil was poured into Alaskan waters. Due to increased fossil fuel exploration‚ such as fracking‚ in various places near Arctic waters‚ including Alaska‚ there is now an even larger risk of potential oil spills happening there (National Research Council (U.S.) 2014). The National Research Council claims that if there were to be an oil spill in U.S. Arctic waters the U.S. would not be prepared for it.

The Continuous Zone- Permafrost is found almost everywhere in this zone. This zone includes the entire northern slope and most of western Alaska‚ 2) The Discontinuous Zone- Permafrost is found in this zone intermittently. This zone is located in the Arctic Circle‚ 3) Sporadic Zone- Permafrost is found in small isolated masses. This can be found in the Taiga regions along with some areas of continuous amounts of permafrost. (Unknown‚ 2008) Permafrost is primarily found at higher altitudes‚ but permafrost

All of these causes of global warming have been know by scientists‚ it’s the effects we are seeing in today’s climate now they had no idea of.

It has be proven that if the water level were to rise anymore then we won’t be able to see the state of Louisiana anymore or any coastal areas anywhere. Louisiana is already having
