25. Climate
-EFFECT BY THE POLAR OCEAN CURRENTS
- ANNUAL PRECIPITATION AVERAGE:
60 CM - 125 CM
( ABOUT HALF OF IT FALLS IN THE FORM OF SNOW)
-HIGH WINDS: THE ATLANTIC SIDE OF THE ARCTIC CAN
REACH OVER 180 KM/H
- TEMPERATURE AVERAGES:
WINTER - (-58 F)
SUMMER - (50 F)
Hotter than Hawaii:
Hawaii average temperature = 80 F
Arctic summer = Can reach 86 F
Now go home and tell you parents to change your spring break plans

52. GLOBAL WARMING
Global Warming affects can
be seen very clearly in the
Canadian Arctic.
-The temperature is rising almost double
as fast compared to the rest of the world
-Icecaps are melting almost twice as fast
This forces polar bears to live inland (there for no food)
Walruses, Seals, Foxes are loosing there shelter
Cod, Char, Belugas are starvering because the algae that
used to live under the icecaps no longer is there

55. Topography
-Mostly an archipelago
Biggest island, Baffin, is larger than
United kingdom
Made up of 30,000 islands
-Eastern Parts are very
mountains
Created by glaciers and tectonic plates
Fold mountains
Peaks reach over 2000m
Contains about 75% of Canada’s glaciers
-Western and Central Parts
are flat
No peaks reach higher than 200m

57. Vegetation
-Due to the cold weather,
the Vegetation is not very
developed
There are no trees just Dwarf Shrubs,
hedges, mosses, grasses and lichen
Even thought the vegetation isn not very
developed it consists of over 200 species
of mosses and lichen

59. Animals
-Only inhabited by 19 species of
land mammals
Such as Caribou, Polar Bears, Arctic Fox , Arctic
Hares, Wolverines and Muskoxes
-64 birds live in Canadian Arctic
during for summer but only 6
stay for the winter
-All the animals in the arctic are
rare and remarkable due to there
adaptation to this extreme and
hostile environment

62. How does the environment
affect the people
-Sewer pipes
Are above ground because the ground
underneath is perm-a frost
-Transportation
Because the ground is so hard and icy,
dogsleds were used to get around and
recently, so are snowmobiles
-Diet
Eat mostly meat because agriculture is
impossible in the Canadian Arctic
A lot of people get sick because the
animals in the arctic carry toxic materials

64. How do people affect the
environment
-Global warming
The effects of our pollution are very
evident in the arctic
-Fish Population
Decreasing due to the amount of fishing
that is taking place
- Arctic haze
A smog that covers the arctic during
mostly during winter due to industrial
activity

69. Oil Drilling
Due to Global Warming, most of
the arctic has melted. this
means that the stock pile of oil
that was hidden beneath
icebergs can now be drilled.
This is the opportunity for
companies to strike rich. Hurry
thought because shell has
started already.
