Ap Human Geography Case Study Question Paper
1. How might the differences in seasonal tides affect the upwelling and driven tides in Antarctic areas near the poles?
2. As the density of water varies with temperature and salinity, how does stratification as a process significantly thermohaline circulation?
3. How can the Coriolis effect be applied to sea-ice freshwater transportation, and what affect can freshwater transportation have towards global climate?
Answer: Southern directional winds were able to influence change in northward sea-ice drift. The Coriolis effect helps explain that on the earth, moving objects are deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. The mass of sea-ice might be deflected differently at each Antarctic pole

    Questions: Pacific Ocean and Northern Hemisphere

    5. How do warm currents become heated? How do cool currents become cooled? Water is an enormously efficient heat-sink. Solar heat absorbed by bodies of water during the day, or in the summer, is released at night, or in winter. But the heat in the ocean is also circulating. Temperature & Salinity control the sinking of surface water to the deep ocean, which affects long-term climate change.…

    Research Paper On Thermohaline

    The thermohaline circulation contributes largely in providing warm water and heat to Polar Regions. It also transports volumes of cold, salty water from the North Atlantic back to the equator where it gets heated up again. If this process were to be interrupted, the disrupted flow of the thermohaline current would dramatically alter regional and even global patterns of heat transfer because when the water in stops moving, the equator will become hot leaving the Polar Regions cold. What is it doing?…

    Bering Sea

    The second driver of productivity in the Bering Sea is seasonal sea ice that, in part, triggers the spring phytoplankton bloom. Seasonal melting of sea ice causes an influx of lower salinity water into the middle and other shelf areas, causing stratification and hydrographic effects which influence productivity.[6] In addition to the hydrographic and productivity influence of melting sea ice, the ice itself also provides an attachment substrate for the growth of algae as well as interstitial ice algae.…

    Is Abrupt Cooling The Same As An Ice Age

    In a warmer world, additional rain at middle and high latitudes, plus melt from glaciers, will add more fresh water to the oceans. This could affect currents, such as the Gulf Stream, that transport heat north from the tropics and might result in parts of North America and Europe becoming relatively cooler. Even if this were to occur, it would take many years or decades because oceans move heat and cold much more slowly than the atmosphere. (Some ocean changes, however, such as the periodic warming of Pacific Ocean waters known as El Niño, may affect regional weather patterns within…

    Planning an Expedition to Antarctica

    We as a team will be investigating the effects global warming is having on the Antarctic landscape, we will also look at the effects that the change in the Antarctic landscape is having on other factors such as the dispersion of animals. To look at the change we will look at the rate of contraction of the land, the rate of ice break up, the rate of which a lake is created, the flow rate of Moulins, the rate of sea level increase. As well as this we will try to determine how the reduction of white land mass will further global warming and at what rate. This will be hard to do but one of the many techniques we will employ will be to take ice cores. We will stay in Antarctica for 1 year so we can experience the effects of global warming over the different seasons we will then return to Antarctica in 5 years and study the change in data.…

    Polar Ice And Climate Change

    The reduction of large-scale mixing of water can cause the thermohaline circulation to shut down throughout the ocean. The thermohaline circulation is important for the ocean's biota as it brings nutrient-rich deep water up to the surface. Without this circulation of the oceans, Global temperatures would be determined almost completely by latitude. Europe would freeze without the warmth from the Gulf Stream. Melting of the polar ice caps could release a large quantity of freshwater into the ocean, which could slow or prevent normal thermohaline mixing and would affect the currents in various places around the world. In earth’s history, worldwide thermohaline circulation has shut down and recovered in the past, but this shut down still causes global climate to switch from warm to cold several times over. If an event like this were to happen in current day, massive crop failures would ensue in many places in the northern hemisphere. The thermohaline circulation is not likely to be disturbed if global warming is limited to 1°C or 2°C, but anything much higher could lead to a shut down of the thermohiline circulation…

    The Role Of Climate Change In The Gulf Stream

    The Role Of Climate Change In The Gulf Stream

    The Gulf Stream, also referred to as “the ocean’s conveyor belt”, circulates up to 100 times the amount of water as all the world’s rivers combined (Landstrom). Pumping millions of gallons of water daily, the Gulf Stream cycles water from Florida to the coast of Great Britain. Since the Gulf Stream relies on a steady flow of water, it depends upon the climate, leaving it vulnerable to climate change. If climate change actually disrupts the Gulf Stream, then it will be evident because of the decreased salinity of the water caused by the melting ice caps, the slowdown in circulation and rising sea levels, and changing wind patterns leading to a weakened Gulf Stream. As the Gulf Stream continues on a slope of deterioration, the following climate…
