What's been happening to the arctic sea ice and the land ice on Antarctica and Greenland in the past 20 years

Answer: The ice has been melting and declining

Explanation:

Due to an increase in industrialization, global warming is occurring. This has increased the average temperature around the globe considerably.

As you probably know, ice needs to be in a cold environment to stay frozen. <em>Arctic sea ice</em>, which is ice that floats in the sea near the Arctic, <em>has been </em><em>melting</em> due to global warming.

In addition, the land ice on Antarctica and Greenland has <em>also been </em><em>melting</em> due to global warming.  The increase in average temperatures around the globe has created an environment that is <em>too warm</em> for ice.

In conclusion, <em>global warming</em> has caused Arctic sea ice, and land ice on Antarctica and Greenland, to <em>melt</em>. The globe <em>is warmer than it once was</em>. This means that the water that once was frozen is now melting. If we don't stop heating the planet, <em>sea levels will rise </em>due to the melting ice, and catastrophe will occur. Tens of thousands of animals will die, homes will be lost, and storms will increase in intensity and frequency if we don't reverse the effects of global warming <u><em>now.</em></u>

Save the Arctic, please.

Answer:

El término archipiélago, en geografía, caracteriza una formación geológica que consiste en una cadena o grupo desarrollado de islas.

Los archipiélagos son a menudo volcánicos, se forman a lo largo de fallas oceánicas o en áreas con actividad volcánica activa, sin embargo, otros procesos geológicos como la deposición, desintegración y elevación del suelo están involucrados en el proceso de formación.

1) Define the term developed nation.
Komok [63]

Answer:

A nation that typically has higher average income, slow population growth, and many different types of economic activity

Explanation:

This is because a developed nation would be a nation that has been founded for more than 300 years (I think). They would have more population and economic activity due to the fact that it has been founded for a very long time. Meaning that growth and economic activity have been going on for centuries.

Imagine following a single carbon atom through the carbon cycle. Which of the following is a possible path for the carbon atom t
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

c.The atmosphere, a plant, a herbivore, a decomposer, then back to the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle through which carbon is exchanged between the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and Earth's atmosphere. Together with the nitrogen cycle and the water cycle, the carbon cycle comprises a sequence of events that is key to making the Earth capable of sustaining life; describes the movement of carbon when it is recycled and reused by the biosphere, including carbon sinks.

A single carbon atom would more likely go from the atmosphere through being absorbed by a plant and, later, it would enter into the organism of a herbivore that eats the plant. After the herbivore dies, the carbon atom would enter into the organism of a decomposer that would expel it back again into the atmosphere.
