Impacts of Climate Change Relating To Polar Ice Climate changes occur naturally over long periods of time on Earth‚ and it has been this way throughout Earth’s history. Currently‚ anthropological influences on earth have triggered a quickening rise in global temperatures and this in turn is causing a rapid change in earth’s climate. One of the major changes currently happening on earth is the melting of the polar ice caps. Major impacts relating to the melting of the polar ice caps include changes

Causes of Global Warming Photograph by Peter Essick What Causes Global Warming? Scientists have spent decades figuring out what is causing global warming. They’ve looked at the natural cycles and events that are known to influence climate. But the amount and pattern of warming that’s been measured can’t be explained by these factors alone. The only way to explain the pattern is to include the effect of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted by humans. To bring all this information together‚ the United

My first article is the "UNESCO World Heritage site film on Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina". This clip tell you Los Glaciares is the third largest ice field in the world and how the snow falls and become a part of the ice fields.

Earthquake‚ shaking of the Earth’s surface caused by rapid movement of the Earth’s rocky outer layer. Earthquakes occur when energy stored within the Earth‚ usually in the form of strain in rocks‚ suddenly releases. This energy is transmitted to the surface of the Earth by earthquake waves. The destruction an earthquake causes depends on its magnitude and duration‚ or the amount of shaking that occurs. A structure’s design and the materials used in its construction also affect the amount of damage
