TUNDRA CLIMATE The tundra biome is characterized by extremely cold temperatures and treeless‚ frozen landscapes. There are two types of tundra‚ the arctic tundra and the alpine tundra . ARCTIC TUNDRA The arctic tundra is located in the extreme northern hemisphere around the North Pole. This area experiences low amounts of precipitation and extremely cold temperatures for most of the year. The arctic tundra typically receives less than 10 inches of precipitation per year (mostly in the form of

Climate The community from Division 17 that I choice to analysis from the 1981 – 2010 Canadian climate Norma’s was the Saskatchewan side of Lloydminster. The reason I chose Lloydminster is because it is one of the two cities that is located in Division 17. The daily mean temperature is very constant and predictable‚ as for the precipitation‚ it is a lot less predictable. When looking at the daily average for temperature I found it interesting that on average only 5 months of the year are below zero

There are five causes of climate‚ latitude‚ elevation‚ ocean/wind currents‚ terrain and closeness to large bodies of water. There are many types of climates. Two interesting climates are the Mediterranean climate and Ice Cap climates. These two climates are very different. The Ice cap climate is located only near the poles‚ while the Mediterranean climate is mostly located on the western sides of continents. The first climate is Mediterranean. This climate is located between the 30 and 45 degree

CLIMATE CHANGE What does the climate mean? Climate‚ like weather‚ describes the state of the atmosphere in terms of factors such as temperature‚ rainfall‚ and wind patterns. Whereas the weather describes conditions as measured in hours‚ days or weeks‚ the climate is average weather conditions measured over the longer term: months‚ years or decades.

Sarah Hickey Climate Change Essay May 7‚ 2012 Climate Change has a great effect on how the world works. As the population of the world grows so does the technology used and the pollution given out by the modern world’s new tools and ways of life. People say they couldn’t live without some of this technology like cars and oil‚ but what if it would mean the whole planet will have to pay for it all in the future?

Climate change Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average (e.g.‚ more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth‚ such as global warming. Terminology The most general definition of climate change is a change

This term paper wants to unveil mysteries of the world on the challenge of survival and existence and on its battle on climate change. In particular‚ this will provide the future readers some recent information on the earth’s condition as it is continuously affected by climate change. Included in this paper are the overviews from the different resources on what is really climate change; its causes‚ effects‚ and preventive ways to reduce the effect of earthly change. ACKNOWLEDGMENT
