HOW THE SHAPE OF THE BODY AFFECTS THE TEMPERATURE LOSS Introduction Small organisms have a surface area that is large enough‚ compared with their volume. As a results they lose heat rapidly when the environmental temperature is lower than their body temperature. However when the animal gets bigger their volume increases at a larger rate than their surface area‚ so the surface to volume ratio decreases. Adaptations help organisms to survive in their habitats. Adaptations can be structural‚ behavioral

Tundra climate is usually found between the 60-75 degree latitude lines. Tundra climate is mainly found along the coast of the Arctic Ocean. Tundra is a transition climate between Ice Cap and Subarctic‚ similar to Semiarid being a transition between Arid and more humid climate. Tundra climate areas experience a very harsh winter and a cool summer. During the summer‚ much of the snow and ice melts and forms soggy marshes and bogs. However‚ some of the deeper parts of the soil stays frozen even

Oceanic circulations ●Ocean currents carry low latitude warm water to higher latitudes where the heat can be released to the atmosphere (through surface evaporation and sensible heat flux). ●In this way the latitudinal oceanic heat transport with its atmospheric counterpart (atmospheric Hadley Cell‚ Ferrell Cell and Polar Cell) to balance the Earth’s local heat budget. Loading... Oceanic circulations ●Buoyancy fluxes between air and water alter the density of the sea water - those are latent

Shuyub & Salma Per.1 (12/5/14) Camel Essay Camels are native to the deserts of Asia and North Africa. Two kinds of desert camels are dromedaries and Bactrian’s. Dromedaries have one hump and are best adapted for hot deserts. Bactrian camels‚ which have two humps‚ have adaptations for living in a cold desert. Most camels are domesticated‚ meaning they have been tamed so they can be used by humans. But a few Bactrian camels live in the wild in the remote grasslands of Mongolia‚ and some dromedaries

Task F: The professor will take you to location F‚ where you would examine the rock and note the straight‚ parallel grooves and ridges on the surface of the rock‚ and parallel grooves cut across the layering of the rock. Create an hypothesis as to why the grooves formed on the rocks‚ make observations‚ draw conclusions‚ and devise a test of its correctness in the form of a prediction. Rock F is bedrock that points north-west‚ matching up with the empire rock. It also has grooves‚ is polished‚ and
