Changes in the Arctic climate will not only affect the animals‚ plants and people living in the Arctic regions‚ but it will also affect the rest of the world. The Arctic region is made up of the northern parts of Canada‚ the United States‚ Greenland‚ Iceland and the Eurasian continents. The changes in the climate will increase global warming in these countries causing the sea level to rise all around the world. Here is how the climate has been changing in the Arctic. This evidence of this change

distribution There are two types of tundras‚ Arctic Tundra and Alpine Tundra. They both make up about 20% of the earth’s surface. The southern limit of Arctic tundra follows the northern edge of the coniferous forest belt. In North America this line lies above latitude 60° N‚ while in Eurasia most of it occurs north of 70° N. Tundra is about 3 million square miles long and covers about 20% of the earth’s surface. Temperature‚ Seasonality‚ and Precipitation In the Arctic tundra The average temperature is 10

There are many factors that make the Arctic tundra biome an extreme environment. There are only two seasons in this biome‚ winter and summer. The winters are characterised as long and cold where temperatures can drop below -50°C. There are also parts of the Arctic Circle that experience periods of time without sunlight known as polar nights‚ this can last for several months. During the winter months food is very scarce. The summers are characterised as being short and cool‚ with average temperatures

This article explains how climate change has been rapidly melting the Arctic over the course of a few years. As a result‚ the faster the arctic melts the more damage will be done to the ecosystem‚ planet‚ and humans. A few examples of how drastically climate change has shaped the North are that the sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean began to decrease in size when it should have been increasing in size. Also‚ temperatures at the North Pole rose more than 20 degrees Celsius. These changes are causing

The Coastal Plain of the Arctic Refuge is one of America’s last great wilderness areas. It is home to many animals such as polar bears‚ wolves‚ and grizzly bears‚ caribou herds‚ snow geese‚ musk oxen‚ and dozens of other species. If your oil companies keep drilling in the Arctic‚ most of these beautiful creatures will die‚ and some will become extinct. The Coastal Plain is home to these animals. Annually‚ a herd of 129‚000 caribou gather on the Coastal Plain to bear and nurse their young. Polar

The word tundra refers to a vast treeless plain and is thought to have been adopted from the Finnish word tunturia (Arctic). Tundras are characterized by permanently frozen ground cover known as permafrost. The Arctic tundra is characterized by low precipitation and dry winds with
