heil. II. Body Point A. Emperor penguins are native to the desolate land of Antarctic Location: 1. Antarctica, as many of you know, is in the southern hemisphere at the south pole. It occupies a space of 14 million square kilometers. 280,000 sq kilometers is ice-free, while 13.72 million square kilometers is covered in ice. The ice free zone, has no vegetation, it is simply barren rock. The terrain varies from peninsulas and ice-free coasts, to mountain ranges and trenches. As a matter of fact
rarely ever gets above freezing. The reason why the Antarctic is so cold is because sunlight has to go through a thicker atmosphere to hit it as Earth is on an angle which also means the light rays are spread over a larger area than if they were hitting Antarctica directly. This means light is spread over a larger area thus not warming as much as it could. When sunlight does eventually meet Antarctica, a lot of the rays are bounced off due to the Antarctic being made of very reflective, shiny white ice
Evolutionists theorize that penguins could once fly. However, God created penguins as they are, so this is not the case. Penguins are very unique and captivating. This animal is just another phenomenal example of how immense and innovative God is with his work. In order to understand the significance of the penguin, one must understand the body structure, habitat, and diet of a penguin. All penguins have distinct body structures. The largest species of penguins are the Emperor penguins, which
The Impact of Climate Change on Leopard Seals (Hydrurga leptonyx) Leopard seals (Hydrurga leptonyx) are a species of ice-obligate seals that are widely distributed in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic waters (Hückstädt, 2015). The most recent circumpolar estimate of leopard seal abundance suggests more than 35,000 individuals, and there does not appear to be a declining trend on these numbers. The IUCN, for this reason, list the leopard seal as Least Concern (Hückstädt, 2015). However, climate change
School size of Hourglass dolphins (Lagenorhynchus cruciger) affects predation Introduction The hourglass dolphin (Lagenorhynchus cruciger) is a pelagic marine dolphin which is circumpolar in the southern in both Antarctic and subantartic waters, from about 45°S to 60°S. (William F. Perrin, 2008). There is not enough data to determine with certainty the specific characteristics and traits of these species; as less than 20 specimens have been measured (Thomas A. Jefferson, 2015); however, from observation
Shackleton, the Endurance and the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition Introduction How Shackleton had planned his Expedition couldn’t have been any more different than how it turned out. Not only did he not cross the Antarctic continent nor did he reach the South Pole. Shackleton, from previous experiences could have expected that. The fact that he didn’t reach the South Pole was something else. The trans-Antarctic expedition making him famous because of his absolute failure was something he would
A Melting Planet Although most glaciers and ice sheets reside in areas that man does not inhabit, they are nevertheless important for society and the global environment. Due to anthropogenic activities over the past two centuries, the temperature of the earth is rising at an alarming rate. This rise in temperatures has resulted in an overall loss of ice mass worldwide, including a rapid depletion in mountain glaciers. The effects of glacial melt will have a significant impact on the future of
Archaeology and Frank Hurley: the Man Who Made History both deal with the personal impact of discovery. Archaeology (1973) is a poem by W. H. Auden. Frank Hurley: The Man Who Made History (2004) is a documentary written and directed by Simon Nasht, starring Australian photographer Frank Hurley (1885-1962). The subjects of the texts gain knowledge and personal and creative insight through their discoveries. Archaeology's subject, although not immediately clear, could be considered to be the narrator

The United Arab Emirates (UAE), is a country that over a decade expanded exponentially. When it first started, UAE was a group of small tribes that made its living off of fishing, pearling, and goat herding. Now it is home to some of the largest monuments in the Middle East and its citizens are some of the wealthiest people on earth (About the UAE, 2016). Much of that has to do with the unique history and culture of the UAE. Much of the country’s success has to do with the unique physical environment

Civilization emerged in the Middle East and northeast Africa along the river systems as agricultural societies grew in population and developed new forms of social organization. For the last two thousands years the west has been drawn to the middle east fascinated by the culture, religion, resources and politics. The Middle East has an immense impact on the world globally.

The Arab Spring: Why has the Arab Spring produced different results across the Middle East? In the Arab world in late 2010, starting in Tunisia and flowering in Egypt, a movement of people frustrated by their governments, corrupt leaders and a lack of jobs suddenly felt safe to take to the streets. The Arab Spring began when a young Tunisian man set himself on fire to protest government corruption and poor economic conditions. This action inspired a wave of protests across Tunisia, which
Qatar is a country that has the largest per capita income in the world. A few decades ago, the now oil and gas rich country could not survive the years of hunger that led to more than 10% of population migrating to neighboring countries. This transition and modernization has been analyzed in the introduction of the book “Qatar: A Modern History” by Allen J. Fromherz. This reaction paper is intended to study his analysis which talks mainly about the absence of the sense of postmodernism in the Qatari

One of the rescues was one where a dog was tied up to a pole and was being burned alive; the kids that were doing
