Humans have a negative effect on the tundra biome. Some of the effects are overhunting‚ global warming‚ oil drilling‚ and pollution. When endangered species encounter these issues they die and eventually become extinct. An example of overhunting is how sailors overhunt musk oxen and caribou for their fur and body meat. The fur gets used for clothing and the sailors eat the body meat. The musk ox is nearly extinct due to overhunting. When you over hunt a whole species‚ that species may go completely

The Arctic Circle is located at a latitude of 66 degrees 33 feet 39 inches North. The problem with this statement is the actual latitude of the Arctic Circle is continuously changing due to the tilt of the Earth. It is important to maximize your sample size when developing a predictive model like the height and shoe length model we explored in the Experimental Laboratory 1. What is the purpose of a large sample size? A large sample size provides the scientist with a more accurate representation

Have you ever want to know what is under the ocean? Well in the Arctic region it contains some of the world’s largest reserves iron‚ copper‚ lead‚ and uranium. It is more beneficial for the United States to explore oceans because oceans can give us lots of resources such as copper and uranium‚ it has lots of land for us to colonize under the surface.

components in the ecosystem such as air‚ water‚ soil‚ temperature and light intensity. Biotic factors are the living components in the ecosystem such as animals and plants. In an ecosystem‚ the living organisms live together in their non-living environment and function as a unit. This dynamic system starts with species‚ populations‚ ecosystems‚ communities and biosphere. A species is a group of organisms that look alike and have similar characteristics‚ share the same roles in an ecosystem and are capable
