试题来源: 解析 D 倒数第二段第一、二句提到:极地冰川(polar ice caps)正在融化,应该会释放寒冷的淡水,这样就会极大地影响海流(ocean currents)。减速的海流如墨西哥湾流会突然偏离,使得北部国家处于寒冷之中且会导致干旱”,由此可见极地冰川融化将会影响海流和使一些国家处于寒冷和干旱之中。
What is the Greenhouse Effect, and how are humans making it a cause of the current global warming? Effect of ocean acidification? How does climate change affect the ecosystem? Summarize the story of Greenland's melting glaciers and the possible effects of this process. E...
How many ice ages affected humans? Ice Age: Ice Age describes a period of time where the Earth's average temperatures are much lower. Also, it is a time where snow and glaciers cover more area in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere because the temperatures done fluctuate enough to melt the...
There is compelling evidence that melting of ice during the last deglaciation triggered a dramatic acceleration in volcanic activity. Will melting of ice this century, which is associated with climate change, similarly affect volcanic activity and associated hazards...
As a quick rule of thumb, the closer the dew point is to the actual air temperature, the more likely it is that you'll feel like the air is too humid, but keep in mind that air temperature does affect our perception of humidity. For example, on a winter day of 35 degrees F (1.6...
Because the Earth's climate is so complex, no one is really sure how much a change to one region's climate will affect other regions. For example, scientists at the University of Colorado theorize that the decrease in sea ice in the Arctic could reduce snowfall in Colorado because Arctic ...
How Long Do We Have Before Arctic Ice Melts Away? With the frozen top of the world melting to liquid, an expedition set out to untangle the physics and help forecast its future. Play/Pause Button In late September an icebreaker powered north through the Arctic. Multiple teams of scientists...
When he recalled his fieldwork experiences, he remembered the changing landscape and thinning ice, and argued that “we see the change,” something “no one can argue (…) away.” It does affect you a little bit – doesn’t it? 1996 was my first trip to the Arctic and I remember it...
Climate change is going to have major impacts on the earth, for example the sea ice melting. Hassol talks about how this could be seen either positive or negative. For the creatures in the Arctic like the seals and polar bears, the sea ice melting is very harmful to them. However, the...
