Deserts‚ Glaciers‚ and Climate September 19‚ 2010 SCI/245 Deserts and Glaciers Deserts cover about one-third of the earth’s surface and have unique geologic features that cannot be found in more humid environments. The features found in deserts are mostly formed by wind and water erosion. Desserts are usually created because they are located in a dry region downwind of a mountain range caused by air losing its moisture as it passes over mountains‚ also known as a rain shadow. Rocks

Battle against Nature Sajad Padder The Siachen Glacier is one of the most inhospitable and glaciated regions in the world. Sliding down a valley in the Karakoram Range‚ the glacier is 76 kilometers long and varies in width between 2 to 8 kilometers. It receives an annual snowfall of more than 35 feet. Blizzards can last 20 days. Winds reach speeds of 125 miles per hour. Temperatures can plunge to minus 60 degrees. For these reasons‚ the Siachen Glacier has been called the ‘Third Pole.’ Initially Siachen

What is a shrinking glacier? Well basically the world’s ice is slowly melting‚ so that also means our glaciers are melting (shrinking). This is a problem worldwide. The oil‚ coal‚ natural gases‚ and fossil fuels we burn affect our atmosphere and increase the temperatures that melt our glaciers. If the glaciers continue to melt rapidly ocean levels will rise‚ there will be flooding‚ there also could be droughts. This is a very serious issue today but I’m just going to tell you about two places for

Tuba Khan Professor Dale‚ Stanley BIO 101 May 2014 Glaciers and Risen Sea Level The article‚ Antarctic glacier melt is unstoppable‚ tells us that glaciers located in the West Antarctic have entered the state of extreme meltdown. Researchers have collected twenty years of data imagery of several glaciers in the Antarctic which show the ice disintegrating into the water. Consequently‚ scientists predict this will cause the increase sea levels to increase. So as the article states‚ it is

Global warming is a major issue in our world‚ the footage of the Ilulissat Glacier Calving is clear evidence of that. Calving is when large pieces of ice break off at the ends of glaciers creating icebergs. When people talk about global warming‚ they observe the most common effects‚ such as rising temperatures‚ sea level‚ droughts‚ and rain. Few of these issues are as apparent as in the video of the largest glacier calving. When watching the video‚ you see the mass of ice the size of an island split

Mt Cook/Aoraki formation Vinoth Loganathan New Zealand is a country which ‘straddles’ between two tectonic plates; the indo-Australian and the Pacific. The location of the South Island is south of both Australia and South Africa; this is a major contributor to the geological process of weathering because it makes Mt. Cook subject to the westerly winds. MT Cook is situated in the Southern Alps between the two tectonic
