Actually past If we examine it, we can see that there were periods when there was only one climate on Earth. During these periods the Earth became increasingly colder and in some periods was covered with glaciers.
Just in case something similar happens in the future What are the possible situations? What consequences did it have for us living beings? Let’s decide together.
sunlightIt does not reach every point of the earth in equal degrees. The reason is diagonally at an angle of 23.5 degrees It is the shape of our earth.
At the same time, it is the change of their orientation relative to the sun as it moves in its orbit. So the sun’s rays reach every area at different angles. seasons and with that climates is formed.
climate We can say that this is the average of the weather events observed in an area over longer periods of time. In the world 10 piece climate type is seen. This:
As we said, due to the shape of our Earth, sunlight reaches our Earth at different degrees. The most oblique rays of the sun are At 60° north latitude and 60° south latitude is seen. Similar 70° north and south latitude The polar climate begins to dominate.
polar climate, average annual temperature It is below 0°C and the surface constantly covered with snow It is a type of climate that occurs in the places where it is located. The North Pole and the South Pole (Antarctica) are the main known points of this climate. Pool Even saying that makes us feel cold, right?
Time periods when the world had a completely polar climate about 2.6 million years ago It had happened. These time periods in literature Ice age or ice age gets the name. Our Earth, which began to form like a ring of fire, became completely covered with glaciers due to sudden cooling.
During this period there were 5 ice age periods. This;
According to the findings, it is about 209 years agobased in Indonesia Tambora volcanolargest in history volcanic eruptions happened. When the volcano erupted, various substances were released into the atmosphere. This; It was dust, ash and brimstone.
According to research, this event was so large that these substances released into the atmosphere began to block the sun’s rays from reaching the Earth. The Earth became colder and the climate was affected by this situation. Prolonged frost, snow and ice storms paralyzed life. This period when the earth became very cold “The Year Without Summer” Was called.
Of course, the existence of just one climate on Earth will affect all living things. According to research, A world dominated only by a polar climate would be comparable to the Ice Age. So what would happen?
First of all, because the average temperature in the Arctic climate is below 0°C. A certain type of soil and vegetation is lacking in this climate. In short, without soil there are no plants, without plants living things cannot feed. So if we cannot meet our most basic nutritional needs, Our chances of survival would gradually decrease.
Food chain He couldn’t continue. Survive despite the cold predatorsaround it to meet its energy needs. serious threats would create.
At the same time, we would not be able to meet our water needs because all the water on Earth would be frozen. Similar Our vital risks would continue to increase at the fastest pace.
are becoming increasingly common blizzards This would cause the snow to accumulate. therefore large ecosystem changes would happen and it would be difficult to continue our lives due to these storms.
Besides all these situations; World populationwhich can receive the sun’s rays at a steeper angle in equatorial areas it would intensify. A dense population would lead to a lack of security and resources.
As we said, there are only two periods when the polar climate is effective on Earth. But today we see that the only thing that influences the climate is the behavior of us humans.
It is not possible to cool the earth resembling. We are simply accelerating the melting of glaciers and the desertification of the Earth by causing an increase in greenhouse gases. We must say that whether our earth continues to become a desert or begins to glacier, we living beings are in danger in either case.
So if there were a dystopia where we only experienced the Arctic climate, what would happen, positive or negative, do you think? Let’s meet in the comments.
