Territories

In the territories all 4 sphere are found everywhere. there is a lakes, mountains, animals, plants, and of course the atmosphere.  Every second our world is changing. this could be the animals, plants, people. So, we have to make sure that we are taking car of our planet. We were introduced to our climate in Canada project. we were given 1 part of Canada that has all 4 spheres, a biotic and biotic factors, and is being affected by climate change. I got the Territories. here is the drawing that I have drawn. As you could see there are a couple biotic and abiotic factors, the 4 spheres, the carbon cycle including amounts.

Effects of a warming climate

• The whole world is being affected by climate change. Ice caps are melting, high heat in countries that are usually cold, earthquakes all over the middle east, And it’s our fault. Humans are one of the leading factors. Our gas cars that were used to transport us 86% of time, is ruing our earth. Mining and burning gas damages our environment and climate. gas is mostly made up of methane (a colorless, odorless flammable gas which is the main constituent of natural gas. It is the simplest member of the alkane series of hydrocarbons.) Methane is a dangerous gas that destroys our climate. And considering that most people drive gas powered cars, it is putting a strain on our earth.

• Effects from climate don’t just affect the climate, but also all living things. since 2008 red pandas are endangered. that was 15 years ago, and nothing has changed, red pandas are still endangered, and we’ve done nothing about that. And I know that red pandas don’t exist in Canada, but this is just one example. 

Causes of a warming climate

• considering that the territories is mostly made up of mother nature, most of the causes are from nature itself. the Ice and snow on mountains are melting, which results in the sea level raising. this problem is causing even more problems for our animals. like I have drawn on my drawing, there are many bears found in the territories. Bears rely on plants and animals for their nutrients. with sea level rising, it makes it more difficult to catch fish. Bearing in mind that fish are one of bears major food source.
• ATVing is a common attraction found in the territories. Because there are a ton of trails and forests near by, that introduces a bunch new people. like I spoke in my last paragraph, I talked about how gas is bad for the climate. ATVing is a 4 wheeled vehicle that resembles a car but with no hood. you run down hills with these vehicles.
• atv’s use a ton of gas. And like I’ve talked about how bad gas is for the climate, we can’t change anything. We would have to put a ban to change this. We can’t always be blaming the climate from changing, but more people
