The area that was glaciated 100,000 years ago was not swampy because the water was frozen through out the whole year. There were no grasslands because the land was also covered with permafrost. And there were numerous stream valleys shaping the landscape because of the melting of the glaciers.

Which of the following statements is NOT true? Atmospheric circulation patterns keep the temperature of an area constant.
Papessa [141]

The answer is; Atmospheric circulation patterns keep the temperature of an area constant.

The atmospheric circulation does not keep the temperatures in an area constant, however, they regulate temperatures through convection currents. Hot air rises as cold air mass sinks to replace the rising hot less dense air. These currents transfer energy around the globe and prevent one area from overheating.

Describe 1 environmental issue in Europe and how they affect the environment and its citizens. What can be done to correct this

Answer: Plastic Pollution

In 1950, the world produced more than 2 million tons of plastic per year. By 2015, this annual production swelled to 419 million tons and exacerbating plastic waste in the environment.  

A report by science journal, Nature, determined that currently, roughly 11 million tons of plastic make its way into the oceans every year, harming wildlife habitats and the animals that live in them. The research found that if no action is taken, the plastic crisis will grow to 29 million metric tons per year by 2040. If we include microplastics into this, the cumulative amount of plastic in the ocean could reach 600 million tons by 2040.

Shockingly, National Geographic found that 91% of all plastic that has ever been made is not recycled, representing not only one of the biggest environmental problems of our lifetime, but another massive market failure. Considering that plastic takes 400 years to decompose, it will be many generations until it ceases to exist. There’s no telling what the irreversible effects of plastic pollution will have on the environment in the long run.
