Recently‚ global warming has become a big issue in the environmentally conscious society. It is often the topic of fiery debate amongst global politicians and is regularly featured in the tabloids. There are many arguments to prove the existence of global warming‚ but there are also many theories to disprove the existence. Confusion is caused through the ongoing debate of “ Is earth going through a normal cycle?‚ Is earth going through Global warming ? or Is earth going through a Cold age?”. There

fuels. Increase in global temperatures will cause rise in sea level. It will lead to melting of glaciers‚ changes in rainfall patterns‚ increased intensity and frequency of extreme weather. As per the latest survey report the rate of melting of glaciers has seen sharp increase in recent times. Even those glaciers are affected from global warming which have been considered permanent. The shrinking of glaciers is going to pose a major problem of drinking water. Trees play a significant role in the global

Alfred Wegener’s hypothesis on the continental drift is true because of his evidence he used to prove it. Wegener’s three evidences on the continental drift are land features‚ fossils‚ and climate changes. Wegeners tries to prove how once all of the landmasses were once together forming a huge continent called Pangaea. Then‚ all of the continents floated away forming there own continents. This was called the continental drift when all of them floated away. Wegeners evidence is very believable in

years ago‚ the Alps were covered with a thick blanket of snow. Glaciers moved down valleys and made them wider and deeper. As they moved they took rock and other material with them‚ creating moraines. When glaciers started to melt water filled up behind these natural dams and created the alpine lakes we know today.47 The largest of these glaciers is the Aletsch in Switzerland which reaches a length of about 25 km. The longest glacier of the eastern Alps is the 8 km long Pasterze‚ at the foot of

decrease in arctic ice‚ and rising temperatures are causing more animal species to go on the endangered list. Some may argue that ice and glaciers have been growing and receding for hundreds of years‚ but they will always grow back again. However‚ for the past 100 years though‚ arctic ice and glaciers have been decreasing at an alarmingly fast rate. Glaciers have slowly been getting smaller and smaller since the 1960s and has been decreasing at a faster speed over the past 10 years. The rising ocean

winter nights‚ taking small soil particles and stones with them. When the needles melt and collapse during the day‚ the removed particles will roll downhill‚ resulting in mass movement on a small scale. There are 18 glaciers in Mt. Ruapehu. E.g. Wangahu and Summit Plateau. Glaciers‚ which are huge bodies of ice‚ move downhill under the influence of gravity. As they move through the mountain‚ they tear away blocks of rock off of the floor and the walls of valleys‚ and wear away rocks beneath them

Charles Murphey March 27th‚ 2011 EN 102 Global Warming According to proponents of “Global Warming”‚ they claim that a dramatic rise in the earth’s atmospheric temperature linked to greenhouse gasses and other related phenomena are responsible for the extinction of many species of flora and fauna‚ an unprecedented decline in human and animal food sources and increases in natural disasters. I disagree with this claim and the effects of global warming. These gasses are naturally occurring

changes such as an increase in bugs and pests‚ but others‚ such as Arctic animals are being forced away from their homes as the glaciers that they live on melt and break away. The Arctic and areas that are in higher latitudes have a higher rate of warming and this pattern is expected to continue as climates everywhere changes and temperatures go up. As Earth warms up‚ the glaciers in the Arctic start to melt‚ and species such as the polar bear and the arctic fox that depend on the sea ice‚ will start
