ENVSCI 120 Ozone Recovery Blue Hill Temperatures and Coastlines
Please see attached file to complete this work, which includes requirements.
Followings are questions in detail but without pictures.
1) OUTDOOR OBSERVATIONS
A quadrat is a 1 meter x 1 meter area of land. Please find a piece of vegetative land and mark out a quadrat to be used to answer the following questions. You can measure this off with a piece of string or mark it with 4 sticks stuck into the corners of an area that you pace off. This activity requires you to go outside (with a pen and notepad), find a vegetated area, and observe your quadrat for at least 5 minutes.
a.) Please describe where your area is located. How many species do you count? Describe every species that you see present and any species that you have evidence that was once there. Please provide a photo of your area as evidence that you actually did this activity.(3 points)
b.) Pick one of your identified species. Describe the ecological niche of this species in your area. What are its adaptations, how does it interact with other species, and/or how does it interact with abiotic factors?(3 points)
c.) How would a 3oC temperature change the abundance of your species in your area? Why? (2 points)
d.) If you were to dig up your area and remove all the visible vegetation, what would start growing there if anything over the next year?(2 points)
2.) COASTLINES
a.) Please describe the processes that created the coastline in (A). (3 points)
Will this look different season to season? Why? How might it look different in the year 2100? Why? (2 points)
b.) Please describe the processes that created the coastline in (B).(3 points)
Will this look different season to season? Why? How might it look different in the year 2100? Why? (2 points)
3.) BLUE HILL TEMPERATURES
a.) A thermometer is read every day by a weather observer at the top of Great Blue Hill in Canton, MA (shown above). What does this record demonstrate? How might you use this data as evidence of global warming? What arguments could someone make to claim that this data does not indicate global warming? (4 points)
b.) What additional arguments or measurements would you add to convince this person that global warming is occurring? (2 points)
c.) What are the monthly average temperatures in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada? (Please list your source).How do these compare to the Blue Hill data? Why?(4 points)
4.) OZONE RECOVERY
a.) This is an image of total column ozone over the South Pole in the southern hemisphere spring (October).Please describe the conditions that lead to the depletion in stratospheric ozone at this time. (6 points)
b.) Is there an ozone hole of the Artic in the northern hemisphere spring? Why or why not?(2 points)
5.) EARTH’S CRUSTAL ELEVATIONS
a.) The blue data show the area of Earth’s surface below sea-level. Why is there so much of the Earth’s surface between 4-5 kilometers below sea-level?
(3 points)
b.) The brown data show the area of Earth’s surface above sea-level. Why is there so much of Earth’s surface between 0-1 kilometers above sea-level?
(3 points)
c.) If there were no water in the ocean, how would this change the above graph in terms of the relative elevations of Earth’s surface? (2 points)
d.) Draw a similar graph (to the above) of the Hypsographic Curve of Mars, which does not experience plate tectonics.(2 points)
