The Arctic Life – Global WarmingEssay Preview: The Arctic Life – Global Warming1 rating(s)Report this essayThe global warming is affecting the earths atmosphere and will continue affecting it over the next several years. As oceans water warms up, the glaciers in the Arctic will start to melt. The coastlands, cities and surrounding towns may get flooded if the glaciers keep melting over the next several years. Some animals and plants may become extinct. Global warming will affect the glaciers, the animals, and the plants that live in the arctic region.
The global warming is affecting the weather in the arctic region. The temperature keeps rising and the ice sheet keeps melting. Because of the global warming the “Average temperatures in the Arctic region are rising twice as fast as they are elsewhere in the world”(“Natural Resources Defense Council”). The ice melts which causes the rise in the sea levels. The ice sheets are breaking off more than ever, but the breaking of the ice sheets does not cause the sea levels to rise. Largest single block of ice in the Arctic, the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf, had been around for about 3,000 years before the ice shelf started cracking in 2000. Within two years it had split all the way through and now currently breaking into pieces. While the weather is getting warmer around the world and people cannot notice the significant change in the arctic region.
The Ward Hunt Ice Shelf, part of the National Parks Service, was created in 1979 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in order to provide safety for the public and preserve their natural habitats from the harsh and cold, allowing them to enjoy the best times of the day during the coldest years of the Winter months as well as to learn new things like the weather during the rainy season. The structure is called the Ward Hunt, and was designed to have a permanent home when the natural changes in the ice started happening.
The temperature recorded in the Ward Hunt ice shelf is always between 75 degrees and above 18 degrees. It has a long life of 40 years. For the full history, see Ward Hunt in the National Park Service brochure
It has a capacity of 30 inlet, with 6 at the northwest end.
