produce similar meteorologic effects. In these geographic regions where temperature is at such a pronounced extreme, climate would seem to be the leading factor of soil development. It is my goal in this research paper to answer the following question: How do the soils of arctic and alpine areas differ? This idea, taken largely from an abstract by Birkeland (1975), will be explored through the comparison of the soils of these two geographic regions, and an analysis of the soil development factors in those

with him, I believe his article gives concrete evidence that earth is warming up, and could potentially cause many problems. Global warming is happening and will eventually cause extinction, rise in sea level, and effects on weather. Caribou, Ermine, Polar bears, arctic fox, and white wolves are just some of many animals that could potentially become extinct in the near future. Some

accomplishments since the industrial revolution, greatly committing to the massive unnatural build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and it comes up with a great deal of many other problems, including pollution, the maintaining of ecosystems in the polar regions, and the depleting rate of fossil fuels and non-renewable energy sources. But besides the problem itself, which is already a major issue, there comes the people. There are more than one sides to a problem, and in this case, it’s about whether global

The Ozone Hole and the Polar Regions The Polar Regions of the Earth have slowly been fading away in the past two centuries, but with the introduction of a new and growing problem, the ozone hole, the Polar Regions are more vulnerable than ever before. The depletion of the ozone within the atmosphere has caused the atmosphere to alter its radiative effects and raise the overall climate of the Earth. The Earth’s ozone layer has continued to dwindle down in size and it has had profound effects on

The Consequences of the Economic Development of Polar and Sub-Polar Regions Although indigenous populations established themselves centuries ago, polar and sub-polar regions of the Arctic and Antarctica have only fairly recently begun to develop. Originally classified as remote regions in the world, where the only activities, which took place, were small-scale fishing and hunting by locals in order to survive, they have become sources of great economic development and prosperity

Human colonization of the polar regions has long been a goal for people and governments alike. The first people to settle the Arctic were Siberian, Inuit, and Sami peoples in Russia, North America, and Northern Europe respectively. Soon followed Scandinavian settlement in Europe as well as settlement by pioneers in Canada and Alaska. This wave of colonization was characterized by a search for fur in addition to a search for minerals and the possibility of a “Northwest passage” that would have allowed

The melting of polar ice caps can be prevented. This is a serious issue. Polar ice caps melting will cause the earth to warm rapidly, because the UV light will not have anything to reflect off of and bounce back to space. Along with global warming, and the melting polar ice caps, the earth will be warmed sufficiently by 2036 if the burning of fossil fuels is not stopped, or even slowed by a small percentage. Polar ice caps are solid land masses with ice covering the whole land mass. The land mass

to all that SPF mumbo jumbo. You know that without an O-zone layer there’s going to be nothing strong enough on the market to protect our delicate skin. They’ll probably have some kind of pill I can take instead. Even if some of the polar ice caps do melt, that just means more beaches for us on our new glorious days of sunshine. So what if a few million people drown? I suppose earthweek is just another form of the government keeping us down. We have become far too brainwashed when

Combatant Commander (COCOM) for use as needed by that COCOM. By being aligned to a COCOM, the BCT and its respective Soldiers will receive specific region cultural and language training and also be provided specific training focus as determined by that COCOM. On a rotational basis units within those regionally aligned BCTs will deploy to their designated region to support the COCOM and in return the unit and Soldiers receive invaluable experiences and realistic training. This essay is to discuss how
