Today, January 6, 2016, in our Human Geography class with
Mr. Schick, we continued the note taking from the National Geographic video
talking about environmental geography and global warming. Today, we didn’t take
as many notes but I’ll jot them down on this blog just in case they can be used
for an open note test in the near future. We discussed specifically how global
warming effected Glacier National Park in Montana.
-
Glacier National Park is in Montana
-
Ginnell Glacier averages around 7,000 ft.
-
In our lifetime, the entire glacier could melt
away
-
The glacier used to be 710 acres and now it is
220 acres
We looked at images f this glacier over the years and I was
amazed at how much of it has been worn away. What was once an entire platform
of solid ice is now a lake of melted ice.
