Forum 1.4 - Where did it go?

1/15/2019

16 Comments

 
Central Question: What factors lead to the change in biomes and what impact does that have on distribution?

Guiding Thought Question: Take a look at the satellite imagery of the Aral sea to the right. The left side shows the Aral Sea as it was in 1989, the right side shows it in 2014. Theorize what could have possibly happened that would have caused it to undergo such a drastic change between 1989 and 2014. 

Today's Learning Objective: Students will investigate the ecological effects of humans on biomes and their locations by completing an inquiry based investigation of the North American Prairies and then taking notes on some of the geographic human and natural factors.

We probably off set the balance of the environment surrounding the lake. Similar to how we took wolves out of Yellowstone and almost destroyed the ecosystem. Climate change obviously has a part to play in it as well

Less rain and snow, water became more salty and fish couldn’t survive.

The water from the Aral sea was diverted unsustainably for irrigation for agriculture due to the dry climate, shrinking it over time.

Something that might have affected it is the influence of humans wanting oil that may have been in it. So the humans mined it out of it and while they were mining they dried it out to make it safer for the miners.

Most of the water disappeared, but the borders at the top and left of the picture are the same. So whatever happened probably didn't have anything to do with heat. Perhaps there was an earthquake that caused the water to drain away or the source to change course?

Desertification

Desertification could've happened. It's when the desert spreads and takes over and area that wasn't originally desert. It could've covered up the sea. It might have also been pollution and trash that filled the sea and then caused it to get covered up.

The lake could've dried due to drought or climate change
