watched the documentary called Chasing Ice, which followed the studies of James Balog and his associates. In this documentary, Balog sets up cameras and shows the regression of ice caps in Alaska, Greenland, Montana, and Iceland. When he showed his findings at the end of his documentary, I was astounded to see how much the ice had receded into the mainland. Pierce and I both commented on the regression and how that his evidence shows that in the past ten years, the ice had receded more than in the
“So far as seeing things is an art, it is the art of keeping your eyes and ears open” (AE 151). After watching Chasing Ice, there is a new outlook on the world and how it is changing constantly. The film showed the decimation of the ice caps and glaciers due to the climate change. Chasing Ice literally showed how rapidly the ice caps were melting and how severe climate change is really effecting the Earth. James Balog utilized his talents as a photographer to help illustrate his belief that is
Have you heard that only eight species of the Pine Marten are in the world? The Pine Marten is part of the weasel family. The Pine Marten is usually found in the Wicklow Mountains, but only in woodlands and in the Deciduous forest. My biome is located in the Wicklow mountains. The climate is wind and usually a gentle. The weather in the Wicklow Mountains is usually 15 degrees Celsius or 60 degrees fahrenheit and down. Since the temperature is cold the Pine Marten can only live in cold or breezy
1. Explain, “in details,” why ice floats. In most cases, solids are denser than liquids, especially if it is the same substance, forcing it to sink. In the case of ice and water, it is the opposite. Ice has a lesser dense than water. Objects float when it has a lesser dense than the liquid it is sitting in. Ice is less denser than water because water has 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atom. According to the University of York, when water freezes the molecules come close together and form strong bonds
milk on the formation of the ice cream’s height? Purpose The purpose of this lab was to determine how the height of ice cream would change by using lower fat milks in comparison to whole milk. Background Information Freezing point depression is a key factor in making homemade ice cream. “When a freezing point is lowered, such as by adding salt to water, the process is called freezing-point depression” (Scrumptious Science, 1). When making homemade ice cream, a ice cream mixture is usually placed
thin layer of freezing air on the ground. The liquid has no enough time to freeze before reaching the ground. Hail is solid precipitation that consists of balls of distinct lumps of ice, which is called hailstone. This precipitation usually produces by cumulonimbus cloud. Snow falls in the form of snowflakes (tiny ice crystal collide in the cloud) when the temperatures are low, which is below 2°C and there is moisture. Precipitation process can occur in warm clouds and cold clouds. Warm cloud is
All eyes are on the ongoing Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea as the games enter the final week. One of the sports popular with live and TV viewers is figure skating as it is a delight to the eyes watching the skaters glide, jump, and spin. Besides the grace and strength shown by the figure skaters, fans of the sport are wondering how come the athletes do not become dizzy even if they keep on spinning several times. However, Live Science pointed out that the figure skaters are subject
Ice skating is a beautiful sport to watch, but how hard is it to actually do? I decided to try it with one of my friends, who had also never been ice skating before. After an hour of skating I realized learning to ice skate is not necessarily hard but it is not exactly easy either. I went to the Cary Ice House and found out that I would rather skate on a pond in my backyard than skate there again. The service there was not that great and neither were the prices, and although there was not many people
It was the perfect day for ice-skating. The searing sun was relentless with its rays of heat, furthermore, not a single breeze had passed. Carpooling with my friend, we drove towards the Pines Ice Rink, the only ice rink within miles of our houses. Enthusiastically, I opened the doors, feeling the crisp air fill my body. Quickly, my friend and I went to greet the final party, making a total of three. She had already placed on her skates, now patiently waiting for the ice rink to open. I approached
Ben and Jerry’s is an ice cream manufacturing company founded in 1978 in Burlington, Vermont, U.S.A. Right from the beginning the founders, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, have kept an equal focus on creating delicious ultra premium ice cream desserts and giving back to social and environmental issues. Their grassroots efforts to use local and sustainable ingredients superseded today’s farm to table craze by decades. Despite Ben and Jerry’s annual sales revenue of $132 million and incredible growth
