  2. Polar climate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_climate

    A snowy landscape of Inari located in Lapland A polar bear with cub. On Earth, the only continent where the ice cap polar climate is predominant is Antarctica. All but a few isolated coastal areas on the island of Greenland also have the ice cap climate. Summits of many high mountains also have ice cap climate due to their high elevation.

  3. Polar ecology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_ecology

    Polar ecology is the relationship between plants and animals in a polar environment. Polar environments are in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Arctic regions are in the Northern Hemisphere , and it contains land and the islands that surrounds it.

  4. Levine's conservation model for nursing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levine's_Conservation_Model...

    The conservation model of nursing is based around the law of conservation of energy, combined with the psycho-social aspects of the individual's needs. Levine believed that these needs are joined within the individual as a "cascade of life events, churning and changing as the environmental challenge is confronted and resolved in each individual ...

    She stated in her nursing notes that nursing "is an act of utilizing the environment of the patient to assist him in his recovery" (Nightingale 1860/1969), [3] that it involves the nurse's initiative to configure environmental settings appropriate for the gradual restoration of the patient's health, and that external factors associated with the patient's surroundings affect life or biologic ...

  6. Effects of climate change on biomes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change...

    Whole ecosystem disruptions will occur earlier under more intense climate change: under the high-emissions RCP8.5 scenario, ecosystems in the tropical oceans would be the first to experience abrupt disruption before 2030, with tropical forests and polar environments following by 2050. In total, 15% of ecological assemblages would have over 20% ...

  7. Polar meteorology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_meteorology

    Polar meteorology is the study of the atmosphere of Earth's polar regions. Surface temperature inversion is typical of polar environments and leads to the katabatic wind phenomenon. The vertical temperature structure of polar environments tends to be more complex than in mid-latitude or tropical climates.

  8. Polar regions of Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_regions_of_Earth

    Visualization of the ice and snow covering Earth's northern and southern polar regions Northern Hemisphere permafrost (permanently frozen ground) in purple. The polar regions, also called the frigid zones or polar zones, of Earth are Earth's polar ice caps, the regions of the planet that surround its geographical poles (the North and South Poles), lying within the polar circles.

  9. Polar seas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_seas

    Polar seas is a collective term for the Arctic Ocean (about 4-5 percent of Earth's oceans) and the southern part of the Southern Ocean (south of Antarctic Convergence, about 10 percent of Earth's oceans). In the coldest years, sea ice can cover around 13 percent of the Earth's total surface at its maximum, but out of phase in the two hemispheres.
