What really caught my attention when the clips also tells you that the ice is trans-parent and reflects blue light and absorbs all other colors. Yet it tell you about other colors you only see the blue ice. The park shows you Icebergs that looks like mountains and the part of the park that trees is still there and how

GLOBAL WARMING AND IT’S EFFECTS ON GLACIERS Global Warming The average global temperature has raised more than expected in the past few decades. Many prefer to use the milder term ’climate change’ instead of the harsher ’global warming’ to describe this change in average global temperature. The main cause of global warming is thought to be the ’greenhouse effect’ that is mainly caused by us humans. With an increase in temperature glaciers worldwide are melting faster than the time taken for

Deserts‚ Glaciers‚ and Climate September 19‚ 2010 SCI/245 Deserts and Glaciers Deserts cover about one-third of the earth’s surface and have unique geologic features that cannot be found in more humid environments. The features found in deserts are mostly formed by wind and water erosion. Desserts are usually created because they are located in a dry region downwind of a mountain range caused by air losing its moisture as it passes over mountains‚ also known as a rain shadow. Rocks

What is a shrinking glacier? Well basically the world’s ice is slowly melting‚ so that also means our glaciers are melting (shrinking). This is a problem worldwide. The oil‚ coal‚ natural gases‚ and fossil fuels we burn affect our atmosphere and increase the temperatures that melt our glaciers. If the glaciers continue to melt rapidly ocean levels will rise‚ there will be flooding‚ there also could be droughts. This is a very serious issue today but I’m just going to tell you about two places for

Tuba Khan Professor Dale‚ Stanley BIO 101 May 2014 Glaciers and Risen Sea Level The article‚ Antarctic glacier melt is unstoppable‚ tells us that glaciers located in the West Antarctic have entered the state of extreme meltdown. Researchers have collected twenty years of data imagery of several glaciers in the Antarctic which show the ice disintegrating into the water. Consequently‚ scientists predict this will cause the increase sea levels to increase. So as the article states‚ it is

Glaciers have formed nature’s most attractive scenery on this earth. They are enormous icy rivers that often run thousands of feet deep and wide and will run for many miles in length. They cover huge amounts of land and can change land into beautiful mountains with many different features. Glaciers are one of nature’s most powerful forces and have a very slow process. One area where glaciers have been the most notable has been in Yosemite National Park in California. There we can see many glacial
