Arctic

Organisms that feed on decaying material,debris, or detritus, such as bacteria, insects, worms etc.

Whale hunting, Polarbear hunting, fishing, seal hunting i think

Never litter never pollute By Erroll Lee It effects by global warming

It's dark all day because of the earth's tilt on the axis

The arctic is an area categorised by its cold days and cool nights. there are many animals including arctic foxes and polar bears. REMEMBER THE INUIT PEOPLE LIVE IN THE ARCTIC- THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT LIVE IN THE IGLOOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIVIE X

The primary producers are the coniferous trees and the undergrowth beneath them: the small bushes, grasses, bulbs, mosses and ferns. These plants grow in soil enriched by the life processes of soil bacteria, nematodes, worms, fungi and protozoa: decomposers recycle the nutrients in fallen trees and needles. Because of cold winters and the toughness of the pine needles, decomposition is slow, and it may take several years to break down needles and twigs. When you walk in such a forest the ground is often carpeted with fallen needles.

Rains and snow water the forest, and the runoff water collects in streams and small marshy areas. These areas provide habitat for willows, aspens, beavers, birds and fishes.

The primary consumers include many kinds of grubs and beetles, ants and other insects. Small rodents such as mice, chipmunks, and squirrels, and larger ones such as porcupines, consume plants for food. Deer eat the grass and browse on the bushes. Aquatic insects, crustaceans, and fishes also eat plants.

Omnivores such as bears, raccoons, and some of the birds eat plant products and also insects, small animals, and fish.

Secondary consumers are the small carnivores: owls, foxes, and weasels.

The lynx and the wolves are the large carnivores that prey on the deer and on smaller animals. These form a level of Tertiary consumers.

This system maintains a dynamic balance. Plants and animals occupy niches in the ecosystem. Predation, and competition between individuals, keeps populations in check. A wide variety of plant life provides a foundation for this ecosystem.

about 75 miles

You can either take an airplane or a big boat.

The arctic isn't a country. Many countries have territories in the arctic.

because it's so far away from the equator, which is the point at which the sun hits the most

Because it doesn't get much direct sunlight.

"The town of Baltiisk, just outside Kaliningrad, is the only Russian Baltic Sea port said to be "ice-free" all year round, and the region hence plays an important role in maintenance of the Baltic Fleet."

According to an online etymology, the word "arctic" comes in late 14th century, artik, from O.Fr. artique, from M.L. articus, from L. arcticus, from Gk. arktikos "of the north," lit. "of the (constellation) Bear," from arktos"bear," the Bear being a northerly constellation. From the usual I.E. base for "bear" (cf. Avestan aresho, Armenian arj, Albanian ari, L. ursus, Welsharth); The -c- was restored 1550s.

Leopard seals make their homes in the Southern Ocean, water that surrounds the continent of Antarctica -- this is their natural habitat. They do not live on land.

Given that Antarctica is about as large as USA and Mexico combined, you could pick a number between about zero degrees F. and minus 100 degrees F. and that number would be the temperature somewhere on the continent during February.

polar bears, foxes, birds, hares, and oxes

The Producers, in the biological sense, are large multicellular brown algaes (like kelp), and unicellular algaes that form the phytoplankton. Thses unicellular algaies are members of one of several algal groups. One example would be the Chrysophyta, the Golden Algaes. Pretty much all plants are producers.

Since 1988, about two million people visit Glacier NP each year.

so the poler bears have a place to live in

They tend to be quite colorful as they are in many parts of the Arctic, and they are all raised above the ground to allow air to flow beneath due to the permafrost.
