Geography

djyliett [7]3 years ago

Nunavut is the  newest Canadian territory that was established on April 1 1999 when it separated from the Northwest Territories (NWT)

Comprising of the central and eastern parts of the former NWT, the  creation of Nunavut was the outcome of the largest aboriginal land claims agreement between the Canadian government and the native Inuit people. Most of Nunavut land is covered by snow for  more than half the year. The land is primarily tundra.

Some of the challenges faced by Nunavut  today are lack of job opportunities, isolation, acute housing shortage, social problems and high cost of living including sky-high food prices. The high cost of food has greatly exacerbated   widespread hunger that has dogged the young nation almost since inception.  Food insecurity one of the most pressing challenge facing Nunavut today.

Which statements describe results of the greenhouse effect?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

A. higher temperatures

C. penguins losing their natural habitat

D. rising sea levels

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect is caused by the trapping of more solar radiation on the surface of the earth than the normal level by certain gases. These gases are called greenhouse gases. Trapping solar radiation on the earth leads to increase in the earth's surface temperature. Polar ice begins to melt and more water is added to the ocean which can lead to rising sea levels and flooding of coastal cities. Ice caps will significantly diminish. As we know penguins are known to inhabit cold climates around the southern pole, if the polar ice in this region melts, their habitat becomes threatened.
