Climate change is already hitting Africa hard however‚ the IPCC (International panel on climate change) have suggested that Africa will be getting even drier and continue to steadily warm like it has warmed by 0.5 degrees Celsius since 1900. Already being amongst the poorest countries of the world‚ many African economies are expected to suffer further drain as global warming continues to rise. Most African economies are heavily dependent on agriculture; reliable for their survival‚ selling cash

Tundra Climate (E) The tundra is a bleak and treeless place. It is cold through all months of the year Summer is a brief period of milder climates when the sun shines almost 24 hours a day. It has been called "the land of the midnight sun". But even the sun can’t warm the tundra much. The short summer lasts only 6 to 10 weeks. It never gets any warmer than 45 or 50° F. The warmer weather causes a layer of permafrost‚ ice that never goes away in the ground‚ to melt‚ creating bogs and shallow lakes

Frozen tundras‚ green forests‚ and flat rolling plains are all unique features of North America. Three different post-columbian groups thrived in these geographical regions by developing ways of survival. I will be talking about the Iroquois in the Eastern Woodlands‚ the Cheyenne in the Great Plains‚ and the Inuit from the Arctic/Sub-Arctic. First‚ the Eastern Woodlands has rich dirt which makes it perfect for farming‚ and the Iroquois tribe were the best farmers there were in the Eastern Woodlands

TERRESTRIAL BIOME Introduction Many places on Earth share similar climatic conditions despite being found in geographically different areas. As a result of natural selection‚ comparable ecosystems have developed in these separated areas. Scientists call these major ecosystem types biomes. The geographical distribution (and productivity) of the various biomes is controlled primarily by the climatic variables precipitation and temperature. The maps in Figures 1 and 2 describe the geographical locations
