answer:
The higher the water feedback the higher the overall atmospheric temperature gets.


answer:
The response is linear, as the graphed temperature slopes evenly when increased or decreased.


answer:
When the albedo is turned off, the temperature increases and decreases, however over time has a constant average.
 
When the albedo is turned on, the temperature has longer 'ups' and longer 'downs'
 
Not sure what the water feedback is. Maybe the water effect?


answer:
The higher the water effect the higher the temperature. The termperature rises. When there is no water effect, the temperature rises and decreases.


answer:
The higher the water effect, the higher the temperature. In the other one, the higher the density, the more fire burning. They are similar because they are both linear in relationship. Also, they both have a feedback relationshiop.


answer:
When there is a very high degree of water feedback, the temperature goes up after a short period of fluctuation (around 200 years). When there is a very low degree of water feedback, temperatures generally fluctuate a little with alternating periods of highs and lows.


answer:
The response of temperature to water feedback is non-linear as there isn't an exact and definite correlation of temperature to water feedback levels (the temperature varies quite a bit).


answer:
We think the main differences are that one has linear responses and the other has non-linear responses. The main similarities are that there is a cause and effect in the model. The C02 and oceans carbon amount do not vary greatly between the two models.


answer:
The water temperature affects the temperature when the albedo feedback is on because the albedo reflects some heat off the water temperature.


answer:
similarities are that the fire was linear and so was the response of temperature to water feedback.


answer:
When the Albedo feedback is on, the greater the water feedback, the higher the temperature because of the increase of clouds which results in more heat being reflected back onto the earth.


answer:
When the water-effect is high, the temperature of the system increases, if the water-effect is low then this creates a colder asmostphere.


answer:
It is linear since the temperature can only move in one direction or the opposite and not to other side. 
 
The different variables affect it in different and many ways however the result(temperature) is still linear.


answer:
One is a model about fire and the other is a model about climate and the greenhouse effect.
 
The fire model is a non-linear model while the climate/greenhouse model is a linear model.
 
In both models, different variables can effect the result however in the fire model you are only able to change the density of the trees. If we were able to change a wind's direction and speed then the results would be different.
 
Both are examples of positive feedback.


answer:
The temperature of the system generally decreases as the water feedback degree increases. The albedo controls how much energy is absorbed. If the temperature is dropped, the albedo is much higher and more radiation is reflected, causing the temperature to decrease even further.


answer:
They both have positive feedback occurring in the cycle.


answer:
The response is non-linear because the amount of albedo is based on the temperature and cloud cover is dependant on the amount of water feedback. Also, cloud cover amounts and distribution of cloud cover is random.


answer:
The similarity is that both responses are non linear, but the difference is that one is affected by only one factor whereas the climate change model has many factors which cause a chain of effects.


answer:
The higher the water feedback is, the higher the temperature gets. If the degree is lower, the temperature is lower.


answer:
Linear, because the temperature increase with the water feedback.


answer:
They are both linear responses and show natural processes.


answer:
When the water effect is set higher, it increases the temperature of the system when the Albedo feedback is turned on by an enormous amount, although seeming slow at first, the temperature quickly increases higher and higher. This is because the water effect affects the amount of water vapour as greenhouse gas in the air and therefore would increase the amount of blockage of outgoing heat that is originally absorbed into the earth, as well as the heat reflected back by a lighter albedo. All this heat becomes trapped and therefore affects the temperatures of the earth.


answer:
The response of temperature to water feedback is generally non-linear; as the temperatures do not ascend in a completely smooth pattern. However, it is slightly linear when looked at a large scale, and ultimately the temperatures do continue to rise.


answer:
Both the models depend on a single variable that affects its linearity: the tree depending on the density and the climate model depending on the water-effect. The higher each of the variables, the more linear it is. The fire model is, however, generally easier to control, with very linear and non-linear differences, whereas the climate model is harder to control and distinguish.


answer:
The water feedback keeps the temperature more constant when the Albedo feedback is on. As temperature falls, the albedo goes up. When the temperature increases, the albedo falls


answer:
It is non-linear. When the water-effect slider is increased, there is no relations between the increase and the temperature.


answer:
The similarities are that there is a cause and an effect.
 
Differences are that one depends on density of an item to cause effect, while the second one is looking at water feedback.


answer:
THe water feedback considerably increases the temperature as oppposed to when it is not functioning, in which case, the temperature considerably lowers. The incoming solar radiation is converted into infrared rays due to the water feedback, which in turn, affects the atmosphere by increasing temperature.


answer:
This system is an example of non linear positive feedback.


answer:
Both are examples of positive feedback in a non-linear system.


answer:
The temperature decreases, CO2 increases, Carbon in oceans increase, fossil fuels is a variable on its own. More carbon in the atmosphere


answer:
When there is so much positive feedback and there is so much heat, the temperature rises rapidly and it just goes crazy like lady gaga.


answer:
Tipping point of fire - so much forest, it'll keep going, a wave of fire like a fire front.
 
Tipping point - more water vapour, more reflection of sunlight, more water vapour. goes crazy and the temperature just goes up.
 
By the way the questions in 1 and 2 - i change my mind, it is NOT linear.


answer:
The tipping point is the time in which the positive feedback is so extensive that it climbs at an extremely fast rate. 
 
Example? a short circuit - little resistance, stronger current, less resistance, stronger current, BOOM! break. the wire breaks.


answer:
Increasing both the Albedo and Water feedback causes the CO2 levels to increase significantly.


answer:
Increasing the Water-Effect and the Albedo and then decreasing the Cloud Cover casues a tipping point to occur in the Climate change model


answer:
In the fire model the concept of tipping is shown when you increase the density of the forest to over 59% and the fire goes out of control. in the climate model increasing the water significantly causes it to reach the tipping level.


answer:
The tipping point is when in a system the feedback goes beyond control. When the positive feedback is overwhelming the negative feedback.


answer:
The fossil fuel usage increases the albedo effect because more solar radiation is deflected back to space and the fossil fuels trap those solar rays.


answer:
Yes, when positive feedback keeps increases and eventually it displays a tipping point.


answer:
In the fire model, the tipping point was at 59% density, when the fire spread very quickly. in the climate model the tipping point was when the temperature of Earth kept on increasing,past 100 degrees because of the positive feeback loop


answer:
When the positive feedback overwhelms and goes 'loco'.


answer:
When the albedo and water feedback, and  greenhouse gases are on, the fossil fuel usage leads carbon dioxide levels and carbon dioxide to rise rapidly. It also causes the temperature to rise rapidly. When only alebdo and water feedback are on, but no greenhouse gases, the effct of fuel usage is that the carbon dioxide levels, and carbin dioxide in the oceans increases. However when albedo and water feedback are off, the carbon dioxide levels rise rapidly, the temperature gradually rises, and so does the carbon dioxide in the oceans.


answer:
The combined feedback of Albedo and water feedback means the system responds more to fossil fuel usage. The temperature rises dramatically due to the use of fossil fuels and the high water feedback.


answer:
The circumstances in which the system displays a tipping point is a very high level of water feedback.


answer:
The tipping point of the forests is when the forest is extremely dense (around 60%) and the tipping point of the climate model is when water feedback is very high.


answer:
When the equlibrium of a feedback loop is overwhelmed, we call this the tipping point. An example in real life is pouring water in a cup. Once you reach the tipping point, instead of pouring at a steady rate, all the water overflows very quickly.


answer:
It tips the system-the positive feedback of the combined albedo and water overwhelms the negative feedback of the fossil fuel usage.


answer:
When the water feedback is at its highest, the system tips as it puts the system out of the equilibrium so much and it cannot stop rising.


answer:
In the first model, the tipping point of the density is aroung 58% where after this percentage of density, the size of the fire increases rapidly to the point that it overrules the negative feedback. In the carbon model, the tipping point is the high percentage of water effect (feedback) where the increase of water vapour results in the increase of temperature and therefore creating a cycle of increase which overturns the negative feedback.


answer:
The concept is when the positive feedback of the model overwhelms the negative feedback. For example, when you fill a cup of water to the point that the water overflows, the water will keep going and won't stop.


answer:
The combined effect of Albedo and water feedback accelerates the atmospheres response to fossil fuel usage.


answer:
When the water effect is increased, the temperature starts rising at a very steep angle and is highly unstable, thus displaying a tipping point.


answer:
Where the positive feedback is so high that it over powers the negative feedback. The tipping point in the model is when the temperature suddenly increased.


answer:
The tipping point is when the positive feedback in a cycle is so high that it overpowers the negative feedback.


answer:
The effect of Albedo and Water feedback accelerates the temperature in response to the fossil fuel usage.


answer:
Yes, when the water effect is increased, the temperature rises at a high rate and is very unstable. This causes a tipping point in the model.


answer:
In the fire model, the tipping point was when there was no more trees to burn. In the climate model, the tipping point was when the temperature increased drastically and could not decrease.


answer:
A tipping point is when the positive feedback in a cycle is intensely high, it overpowers the negative feedback.


answer:
yes, when the water effect is increased to a certain point the temperature rises uncontrollably. the positive feedback ises to a point where it cannot be brought back to a stable level.


answer:
both the models displayed aa tipping point, when they passed it the negative affects caused increase so drastically so as to rage out of control with an incredibly small chance of returning to a stable level.


answer:
an example of a tipping point is standing on one foot and leaning over, there is a certain space you can move in without falling over, however as you lean further and further to one side there is a far higher chance of falling, then there is a region where it is impossible not to fall down in, thus the tipping point is the angle you reach before wobbling an becoming unstable.


answer:
The combined effect of Albedo and Water feedback effects the model by making the rise of temperature more constant. When they are both turned off, the temperature becomes unstable and rises up and down. This is because the albedo reflects off some of the heat keeping the surface cool, while the water effect keeps some of the heat in, therefore creating a balance.


answer:
When the water-effect is increased to a higher amount the temperature will also rise dramatically to a point where all the living things would die. This is because the water vapour traps mostly all the heat within the Earth's atmosphere.


answer:
The tipping point in in the Climate Model is when the water-effect is increased to the point when the temperature increases dramtically, and won't fall down. Its also when the positive factors (e.g. water vapour)overrides the negative factors. In the Fire Model, the tipping point was when the amount of density of trees causes the fire to most definitely reach the other side of the forest.


answer:
The concept of a Tipping Point is when the environment of the model makes the whole cycle out of balance, and it cannot return to a state of dynamic equilibrium.
 
The melting of icecream can demonstrate the concept of a Tipping Point. At a negative temperature, there is little chance of the icecream melting, however at a temperature above 0 degrees, it is almost definite that the icecream will melt, at for example if the icecream was place in an 100 degrees environment, the icecream will melt and it would not return to its original solid state.


answer:
ALbedo and Water feedback causes the systems response to fossil fuels to fluctuate more drastically than it does when


answer:
Yes, when the temperature reaches a certain point, the tipping point, it will rapidly fluctuate and increase, as opposed to before this point where the temperature gradually increases.


answer:
In the fire model when the density of the trees reach 59% it becomes unstable, and the fire has a very high to certain chance of reaching the other side.


answer:
A tipping point is when the positive feedback overwhelms the negative feedback. This can be shown in when a bowl is placed in water. The bowl can hold a certain amount of water whislt floating, but when water is added to its tipping point, its ability to float will be overwhelmed by the weight of the water inside it.


answer:
When the albedo is low compared to the amount of water feedback, the temperature increases. The temperature increasing, increases the amount of water vapour and the more water vapour trapped causes the temperature to rise which again in turn further increases the amount of evaporation, and thus a positive feedback is formed.


answer:
The positive feedback caused by the water vapour increasing and in turn making the temperature increase (which further increases the amount of water vapour), causes the Earth to heat up drastically to the point where it becomes a clear tipping point.


answer:
For the first model the increase of density causes the fire to increase drastically due to the fact that the dense forest acts as a fuel for the fire to spread. The amount of area burnt because of this is incredibly high and that's the tipping point. FOr the second one the temperature increasing, increases the amount of water vapour and the more water vapour trapped causes the temperature to rise which again in turn further increases the amount of evaporation, and thus a positive feedback is formed.


answer:
The tipping point is where the positive feedback overwhelms the negative feedback. eg. When someone is holding the position of a plank, the built-up tension in the core of the person causes the person to eventually topple over.


answer:
The albedo and water feedback affects the system's response to fossil fuel usage by the result that the temperature fluctuates until it reaches a certain point where the albedo does not affect the temperature growth anymore as there is no more of it; therefore the temperature continues to rise (the water effect and fossil fuel usage contributing to the amount of greenhouse gases in the air) without any interference.


answer:
The system eventually reaches a tipping point when the effect of the water overpowers the albedo and dominates it, causing the temperature to rise continuously. This can also happen vice versa.


answer:
The concept of a tipping point applies to both of the models we have investigated. In the fire model, once the density of the trees reach over 59%, the probability of the fire reaching the other side rises exponentially. In the climate model, if the water effect is too high, it overpowers the albedo and melts it, causing the temperature to rise exponentially. This can also happen vice versa.


answer:
The concept of a tipping point is when a positive feedback overwhelms the negative feedback and dominates it, therefore tipping over the dynamic equillibrium that exists between them. This can be shown when a ruler is at the edge of a desk, and when you push it too far, it overbalances and falls, because the weight that is hanging over the table overweighs the weight on the table due to gravity.


answer:
yes, when the greenhouse gases are on, fossil fuel usae is up, and albedo and water feedback are off. The carbon dioxide in the oceans displays a tipping point.


answer:
In the fire model, the percentage burnt radically increases at a certain point in forest cover density. In the climate model, The carbon dioxide in oceans radically increases  at a certain point in time.


answer:
A tipping point is when positive feedback overwhelms negative feedback. For example, when  water is filling in a cup, it can suddenly overfill.


answer:
If the fossil fuel usage is left alone and the water-effect and albedo are not on/high then the amount of CO2 in the air is always higher than the amount in the ocean. However if the albedo is turned on and the water-effect is high, then the amount of carbon in the ocean overtakes the amount in the air.


answer:
Yerp.
 
This is when the temperature of the Earth increases a little. When the Earth's temperature increases then the water temp increases too. Because of the warming waters the amount of water evaporation increases, this in turn traps more of the heat and infra-red, heating the Earth. This process continues until it reaches a tipping point. This tipping point is when the Earth's temperature reaches a maximum and can no longer increase. After this the temperature stays at around a stable point unless the variables are changed.


answer:
In the fire model, the tipping point was at around 'tree density 59%'. Any percentage lower than 59 would have a small burn percentage, however if the density is increased then the amount of burnt area increases dramatically.
 
Tipping point in the climate model is when the positive feedback becomes too much and it overpowers the negative feedback, when the cycle of water evaporation and heat increases the temperature to max. after which it can no longer increase and instead stays at around the same temp.


answer:
A tipping point is when the positive feedback of a system overpowers that of the negative feedback. After this happens, the increasing result of the positive feedback reaches a maximum and either drops or keeps at a stable point.

-Freeze carbon dioxide to make dry ice, bury in Central Australia/anywhere that isn't inhabited, or send to mars where their polar caps are made of dry ice.
-Use nuclear energy+bury in the places.
-Stop politicians arguing about refuges and stop being money hungry, selfish and unwilling to find what's best for the common good.
-Reward households for the carbon emissions?


answer:
I don't think it's possible.
A tiny butterfly thousands of km away from Alaska wouldn't cause a snowstorm. You probably wouldn't even feel wind in Brazil from the butterfly.
It could be a metaphor for exess carbon use in one country affecting another country though...(tragedy of the commons).


answer:
-Should be able to find its way back to the spaceship when its carrying bin is full and proceed to find more gold.
-Should never be able to be too close to another robot to make the gold searching efficient (work in their own areas).
-Maybe work as a team (searchers and robots who bring back the gold to the spaceship to work productively.


answer:
carbon gases are gases like the carbon dioxide and water vapor that trapped within the earth's atmosphere. they are important because they play a big role in the temperature of the earth and the level of C02 in the atmosphere


answer:
the carbon cycle is the cycle of a carbon molecule travels on the earth. it could be absorbed by the ocean , land on a tree or stay flowing in the atmosphere. it is important because this cycle of carbon sculpts the level of C02 in the air


answer:
weather and climate are two different things. weather is a description of a plac and its conditions at a specific time, climate is a description of a vast area over a long period of time


answer:
yes, to some extent. weather can be told by looking at the types of winds ( cold/warm fronts) coming in


answer:
climate can be predicted by looking at the history of the past and by looking at the conditions of the prresent


answer:
examples of feedback is the burning of trees an the density of the forest. this cycle feeds back on itself. the higher the density , the quicker the rate at which the trees will burn


answer:
dynamic equilibrium is the balance between oceanic C02 and atmospheric C02


answer:
it is rising steadily but could change dramatically . the emission of C02 increases the temperature of the earth and therefore causes the climate gradually get warmer


answer:
I don't think that it is possible for a snowstorm to occur in Alaska if a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil. First of all, Alaska and Brazil have a very large distance between them and the strength of a butterfly flapping its wings is not enough to cause the change in wind patterns and create a snowstorm in Alaska. Secondly, a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a snowstorm in Alaska is not ideal because what if there was a whole group of butterflies all flapping their wing together? these are the reasons why i don't think that a butterfly flapping its wings can help cause snowstorm in Alaska


answer:
Let some robots follow the other robots like the ant model. and let the robots flock together and move in mass amounts like the bird model


answer:
with climate change escalating day by day, below are some recommendations of the the slowing down climate change and perhaps even preventing it.
1. monitor the factory use of carbon dioxide to an extent that when a factory exceeds it emissions of C02. it is no longer allowed to produce any of its products.
2. people who breach the limit of carbon dioxide emissions have to pay more tax


answer:
These are gases that are released into the atmosphere, either due to human activity or naturally. these gases cause a greenhouse effect, when in the atmosphere-they allow heat in, but don't allow it back out. if there are too many greenhouse gases the earth will keep warming up as no heat would be release


answer:
the carbon cycle is a repetitive cycle that occurs in nature. for example, carbon dioxide in the air cools down and is absorbed by water. the heats up the water and C02 and the C02 is released back into the air. These continues to happen again and again


answer:
no they are not. weather is the immediate characteristics of an area such as cloudy , rainy , windy. while climate is the long-term characteristics such as tropical , dry, etc.


answer:
weather  can be predicted but only days at a time as it is quite unpredictable and is influenced by many factors


answer:
yes, climate can be predicted as it is along term characteristics , so statistics over a long period of time can be used to predict future climate


answer:
an example is the input of the sun's rays and the output od the overall rise in temperature. when the temperature rises more greenhouse gases are released , this leads to more heat being sustained which leads to an overall increase in temperature


answer:
for example C02 is heated in the water and it rises, which decreases the amount of C02 in the water. however, C02 that has cooled in the air sinks, again, leveling out the level of C02 in the water


answer:
emergent properties are when pattern emerges in nature due to individual behaviors


answer:
yes it is stable, there is a gradual rise in the overall temperature of the world


answer:
yes, it is possible. For example, if a person picks up a worm lying on the ground, the kind that was going to eat that worm would die of hunger and so would its chicks. because those chicks died a feral bobcat also starves because it doesn't get to eat those chicks. because of decomposition of the bobcat, the soil would get nutrition and plants will flourish, more oxygen will be released in the air. If that happens all the creatures on earth will continue to live. all of this possible because of a human who picked up a worm he/she saw along the way


answer:
the robots should have a sensor that tells them if they have already been in that area and dad cleaned it. then they should tell the next robot they meet and that robot should tell the next robot if it meets and so on. after their bins are filled , they should go back to the ship and empty their bins, all the while spreading words of areas that has been searched. the robots should travel in threes . One robot would communicate with other groups and the other two would sense and dig the gold , just in case one robot miss some gold.


answer:
carbon emissions should be reduced., especially on days with high cloud cover to minimize the rise in temperature, as C02 acts as a catalyst in the natural rise and fall of overall temperature. Instead of allowing the earth to cool, it increases the amount of greenhouse and gases and allows less heat to escape from the atmosphere, thus acting as a catalyst in the gradual rise of temperature


answer:
greenhouse gases are gasses such as carbon , that gets trapped in the atmosphere. they are important as they play a major role in keeping heat on earth


answer:
the carbon cycle is the movement of carbon and all its different states throughout all the spheres(biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere). the carbon cylce is important as it is part of our every day lives and all living things are affected by carbon. If the carbon is affected in one sphere, all the other spheres are affected too


answer:
weather and climate are not the same. Weather is the conditions present on a short time period, whilst climate is the average weather conditions over a long period of time.


answer:
yes, weather can be predicted using hot air balloons and satellite images, etc. it can be predicted but the predictions may not entirely be accurate


answer:
no climate can not be predicted. we can make an educated guess about climate but it can not be predicted as climate takes place over a long period of time and there maybe different variables that may affect the climate that we may not even know of.


answer:
feedback in climatic systems can include
-melting of polar ice caps due to the earth warming. this leads to higher sea level.
-plants and animals flourish more in some climatic systems due to the fact that they may like rhe average weather conditions and rainfall in the place.


answer:
I believe that the climatic system is stable but only for a short period of time. If we continue living this way, the average global temperatures will rise and it will be livable for a while but when the temperature of the earth rises to much , it will eventually affect all the populations on this earth.


answer:
I do not believe that a butterfly jiggling the air in Brazil can cause such a large event as snowstorm in Alaska. I believe that other factors such as wind patterns and weather patterns would cause the snowstorm in the Alaska. If something so small could create such a large event then what would happen if a whole flock of butterflies gathered together and flapped their wings?


answer:
if you limit the robots to a small areas for a set amount of time and then allocate tehm to another small section and another small sectio  until all the surface area on that planet is covered. this way the robots can communicate with each other whilst making sure that they cover all of the land.


answer:
tax companies for the amount of carbon they use or limit the use of the amount of carbon , a company can use. This way the company will be more careful about using carbon and will try to find alternatives. Also the money collected from these companies can be invested in many things. some of which can be used on finding and setting up alternatives for burning fossil fuels to create electricity. In the diagrams, we have seen that the more fossil fuels the we burn, the higher the avergae temperature of the earth will get. this is on way that we can help prevent this planet from being unlivable.


answer:
greenhouse gases are gases that are in the atmosphere and keep the heat from escaping the earth. they are important so that we don;t freeze to death


answer:
the carbon cycle is a cycle where things release carbon and other things such as trees use this carbon to put back oxygen so that other forms if life on the earth can use it and turn it back into carbon


answer:
weather and climate are different. weather is thw remperature and conditions at a place for a temporary amount of time eg. a stormy day would be because of the weather. but the climate is the temperature of a place for a long period of time


answer:
weather can be predicted by weather patterns on other parts of the earth, accurate to about a week in advance


answer:
climate is not really predicted. it stays the same almost all of the time, hence why it is such a big deal the small changes now


answer:
i don't really understand the concept of feedback


answer:
dynamic equilibrium is where the carbon from the earth an =d the atmosphere is contantly moving and therefore 'dynamic' and yet there is a total amount which is always the same between them


answer:
the current climate system is not really stable as we are releasing carbon into the atmosphere that should not be there and it is working as a greenhouse has to warm up the earth


answer:
i do not think that this is possible as the air displacement from the butterfly flapping its wings would not get greater as it travels away from brazil and would certainly not be able to cause a snowstorm on another continent


answer:
i really didn't understand the climate models enough to be able to make a recommendation


answer:
Greenhouse gases are warm gases produced and put out into the atmosphere and is kept in by the ozone layer in order to keep the earth at a temperature warm enough for life to exist.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the process of carbon going through each sphere of the earth, such as the atmosphere, biosphere etc. It is important for it keeps the carbon circulating around areas where it may be needed, and then again equilises the level of carbon in each system.


answer:
Weather and climate are different for weather is a short term condition whilst climate is a long term, more general condition.


answer:
Yes weather can be predicted through the use of satellite technology etc, however it can never be a 100% correct for it can change very easily.


answer:
Climate can also be predicted however its accuracy may not be as great as weather as it is trying to predict the conditions further in the future.


answer:
Examples of feedback include such things as the water feedback.The water feedback is the process of water which is being an output also becomes an input and moves around the spheres of the earth.


answer:
An example of dynamic equillibrium in the system is the level of carbon. Changes in the amount of fossil fuel use will change the level of carbon in the system in areas such as the atmosphere and biosphere as well as in the ocean, however eventually they will meet a point where they run parallel to each other-like they did before the change was made. This is called dynamic equillibrium.


answer:
I believe the current global system is stable as we are continuing to use fossil fuel at a steady pace, not causing very many, sudden changes to the climate system. However on a larger scale of time, the current global climate system is most likely in amidst the change due to urbanisation, ie increased use of fossil fuels.


answer:
Particles, like C02 in the atmosphere, which trap heat from the sun's rays. They are what keeps plants and animals alive.


answer:
Carbon particles travelling randomly through the air and ocean. It warms up the atmosphere as well as the ocean.


answer:
Different,weather is the state of atmosphere at a particular state of time, while climate is throughout.


answer:
Yes, though it is not always accurate as weather conditions can change rapidly.


answer:
Yes, climate always remains the same and hardly changes unless if we causing lots of things that make change.


answer:
The atmosphere changing in response to a human action, for example the temperature rising.


answer:
When the temperature, or another aspect of the weather, stays the same in the long run but has little variations from day to day. E.g: temperature flucatuating a little daily but the average staying the same for the long run.


answer:
When a the pattern of an aspect of the weather is revealed.


answer:
When the weather conditions change enough to kill off all the living parts of the biosphere.


answer:
No, it is rising up due to the many changes we are causing.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle that recycles our air. The trees take in carbon dioxide and reldase oxygen. It is important to us as without this cycle, we won't have any fresh air to breathe in. It supports all living things on this planet.


answer:
weather and climte are different. weather is  what is seen over a short period of time and can only be predicted up to a week in advance. Climate is seen over a long period of time and can not be predicted as much as weather but can be predicted somewhat looking at datas collected from previous years.


answer:
weather can be predicted. However it can not be predicted as far to a year in advance but only to max week in advance. Hence the job meteorologist and the weather reports we rely on from the news.


answer:
Climate is something that is hard to predict accurately. It can only be estimated how far the climate will change relying on the data collected on it from the previous years.


answer:
Some examples of feedback in climate systems are the positive feedback, negative feedback,


answer:
examples of emergent properties in climate systems are


answer:
It is not very stable as the heat that is reaching the earth's surface is getting too hot due to climate change. The earth is recieving way more uv rays than it is suppose to due to the hole in the ozone layer. We have rapidly increased in the temperatures. This winter we faced the hottest winter of few years.


answer:
greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that cause the greenhouse effect. they prevent some of the heat of the sun from escaping the atmosphere. the grewenhouse effect is what makes life on earth possible as it keeps the earth warm.


answer:
the carbon cycle comprises of the things carbon can be stored in - the atmosphere, animals, plants and fossil fuels. the carbon cycle is important because it explains why, if there is no adding of carbon, there is a constant amount of carbon on earth.


answer:
weather is the state of the atmosphere at any given time. climate is the average atmospheric conditions of a particular area over a period of time.


answer:
weather can be predicted to an extent. it can be predicted by studying an area's weather patterns and by measuring the conditions, but weather forecasts are not 100% accurate.


answer:
climate can be predicted because it is the AVERAGE conditions of an area over a period of time. because it is an average and is detrmined from daa collected over a period of time, it is possible to predict climate by looking at changes happening to the overall conditions of an area.


answer:
examples of feedback in climate systems are water feedback and albedo feedback.


answer:
An example of a dynamic equilibrium in climate systems is the carbon cycle. there is a constant amount of carbon in the system even the carbon molecules transfer from one place to another.


answer:
An emergent property in climate systems is something that emerges and was not part of the system at the start.


answer:
i dont know what 'tragedy of the commons' are.


answer:
the current global climate system is not stable because the more carbon emmissions are being created, therefore adding to the carbon cycle. Also, temperatures in the earth are rising, possible due to an enhanced greenhouse effect.


answer:
c02 is absorbed into vegetation with light and photoynthesised into things like glucose and oxygen.
that oxygen is used(breathed) by other living organisms and through process of respiration becomes carbon dioxide again
carbon is also released into the atmosphere through other means such as tree and fossil fuel burning
as the carbon becomes c02 again the process repeats
important because it keeps life going


answer:
different weather is the state of tghe atmosphere in a certain area for a short period of time climate is long term


answer:
weather can be predicted using a variety of instruments but not accurately because predictions in general are pretty much never 100% GUARANTEED


answer:
climate can be predicted but not accurately because nobody fully understands climate or at least enough to predict things with complete certainty


answer:
the temperature over long periods of time
as it fluctuates through the seasons it creates a zig zag pattern on the graph.
if the long term temperature increases, the whole zigzag increases with it, if it decreases, then the temp. also decreases

so despite the rising and falling of the temperature in accordance to the seasons, the whole thing overall still rises and falls together


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that are sent up into our atmosphere. They are gases like caron dioxide.


answer:
A carbon cycle is a cycle which shows how greenhouse gases and fossil fuel usage affect our climate. It is important as we can see the long term effects of greenhouse gases and fossil fuel usage.


answer:
Different. Weather is the temperature of the air surrounding us. The term climate describes the surroundings around us. Climate does not change and fluctuate as much as weather does. Weather is talking about the forecast of the temperature in a certain region. Climate describes the average temperature and weather conditions of a certain region or place, allowing little flucutation unlike the term weather.


answer:
Weather can be predicted. Weather is predicted by advanced technology and synoptic maps. We are able to predict the temperature of tomorrow's weather with the dadvanced technology we have today. However, weather can only be predicted approx. a week after the date of the current day. This is because weather changes, therefore only allowing us to make an estimate.


answer:
Climate can be predicted based on the weather over many years. The climate of a region can best be determined after collecting data of the weather of that particular region over many years. This allows a fairly accurate guess of the climate of a certain region or area.


answer:
I'm still not 100% comfortable with feedback. To be honest, I have no idea what it is.


answer:
Equilibrium is the balance between two things in a climate system. In order for the carbon cycle to continue running for a long time, we have to be able to adjust fossil fuel usage and greenhouse gas emissions. This is an example of dynamic equilibrium.


answer:
An example of an emergent property is the bird model. It shows that it is not in the birds nature to follow and obey a certain set of rules. It is an emergent property. 
Sorry, I still do not fully get the term emergent.


answer:
I do not know what 'tragedy of the commons' means.


answer:
The current global climate system is stable in the short term. But, because of the continuous ice cap melting, and the temperature of the earth warming up due to increased fossil fuel usage and greenhouse gas emissions, the current global climate system is only stable for the next couple 100 years or so. Therefore, for the future generations, we will have to make some changes in how we use the supplies the earth has given us, such as coal.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases that are found in the atmosphere. They float around in the air and provide us with heat. UV rays reflect off them, and back to earth, so it is like a barrier that keeps the heat in. If there were no greenhouse gases, the UV rays would just come into earth and be reflected back out so earth would be too cold to live on.


answer:
The carbon cycle is a closed cycle in which carbon moves around and changes form in the earth. Carbon is never destroyed and that is important as we should find ways to keep it in a form that isn't harmful to the earth. When a tree dies, the carbon it has absorbed over its life is released. I think the importance is that we know that it can't be destroyed but it probably can be contained in ways such as trees. If we can attempt to keep trees alive, or stop the logging of forests, then the carbon in the actual atmosphere will be limited, and the carbon will be in the trees.


answer:
Weather is a short term thing, such as the temperature and rainfall of a day. It is of a particular place and time. Climate is the long term averages of the states of the atmosphere and is found through research and records. The climate is more constant and changes seen are over a more prolonged period of time. They are different.


answer:
Weather can be predicted as you can view the past weeks and days, and the state of the atmosphere at the time to give a prediction. The prediction may not be 100% accurate and may sometimes be wrong, when the earth takes a sudden turn, but it can generally be predicted.


answer:
No, climate cannot be predicted as the things we do can change it immensely. If we keep using fossil fuels, but suddenly stop, the climate will change. It really depends on if we know what human activities impact on the climate. If we can find out the activities that truly impact on the climate, then maybe we can predict it.


answer:
Feedback is when something happens in the environment, and that event causes someting else to happen in the environment. Such as the enlarged use of fossil fuels will cause more carbon to be in the atmosphere and will therefore mean that the temperature will go up and so will the carbon in the oceans, which could lead to acidification.


answer:
A dynamic equilibrium in climate systems are when two factors balance themselves out. If temperature rises a lot in the atmosphere, there will be more rain as the evaporation and condensation will happen much faster. Then the rain will fall and cool the earth? So the heat rises the temperature and then the rain cools it back to a balanced state?


answer:
When something emerges from the use of something else? It is like when more rain is the effect / emergent of the increasing temperature.


answer:
I think that the current global climate system is not very stable and the equilibrium is not in place and the temperature keeps rising but there is nothing to cool it down.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases like water vapour or carbon dioxide that are in the atmosphere and prevent some of the heat that the earth receives from the sun from escaping. They are important because they heat the earth and allow life to exist.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle of carbon movement on earth. Carbon is taken in by trees and stored, while carbon is released from oceans and fires etc. The amount of carbon on earth never changes, but the carbon is absorbed and released constantly.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather is short term and climate is more long term.


answer:
Weather can be predicted accurately to withing the next two or three days.


answer:
Climate is more difficult to predict than weather because it is long term. However, we can use climate records from the recent past to find trends and patterns and use these to predict climate.


answer:
I'm not sure but feedback in climate systems is when an action like increasing fossil fuel use has an impact on the system and feedback occurs e.g. increased temperatures.


answer:
A dynamic equilibrium is when something e.g. temperature is constantly changing but stable overall. The system has reached a stable point and although fluctuations occur the temperature is stable in the long term.


answer:
I'm not sure but examples of 'tragedy of the commons' in climate systems could be when common species like sheep begin to die out?.


answer:
The current global climate system is not stable because fossil fuel use is increasing, which leads to an increase in greenhouse gases and increasing temperatures.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases within the Earth's atmosphere, generally in the layer known as the troposphere, which serve to create a greenhouse effect. Namely, they aid in the trapping of heat and to a small degree, light in the Earth's atmosphere, by allowing the sun's rays into the Earht's atmposphere, adn then, instead of releasing them back into space, bouncing them off various parts of the Earth's surface, warming that part of the Earth, as well as the air above it. Eventually, part of this ray is sent back into space, however, a good deal of it has already been absorbed by the Earth. Greenhouse gases are important as they enable this process to exist. Without this process, the earth would not be sufficiently heated to be able to sustain life of almost any kind.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the movement of carbon in and directly surrounding the Earth throughout various forms, and also it's movement from the ocean to the Earth, to the atmosphere. It is important as it relates directly to the amount of carbon in living things, i.e. humans, and other organisms upon whom humans depend.


answer:
No, as weather refers to atmospheric conditions such as temperature, wind presence and speed, cloud cover and precipitation in the short term over a certain area of the Earth's surface, generally for a few days, predicted by conditions in the few days before. However, climate refers to the types of temperatures and precipitation in a specific area, during a specific period of months, as predicted by data gathered in previous years and decades.


answer:
Weather can be predeicted, but only in the short term. As weather refers to a short period of atmospheric conditions, quite specific in their details and also quite short-term, it can be predicted, however, not from more han a few days beforehand, at least not accurately.


answer:
Yes, as climate is defined on the basis of previous data collection of atmospheric conditions, in the assumption that the previous data will repeat itself.


answer:
Feedback is when the a part of the outputs in a climate system become part of the inputs. For example, the carbon cycle, or the movement of heat in the greenhouse effect.


answer:
Temperature and the number of CO2s in the atmosphere are generally in a state of dynamic equilibrium, in that they follow each other in terms of trends, but yet are not equal, and fluctuate in a minor fashion, while still folloiwing a general trend.


answer:
In a climate system, when albedo is increased, the temperature- CO2 relationship enters an emergent phase, in which the previous pattern changes and a new one is formed.


answer:
This was never taught to us. I do not know what 'tragedy of the commons' is.


answer:
Green house gases are gases in the atmoshpere. they are important because they protect us from harmful UV rays of the sun and also partially the heat emitted from the sun's rays.


answer:
The carbon cycle is when carbon dioxide (CO2) is breathed out from humans and produced by us through burning of fossil fuels (cars, airconditioning) into the atmoshpere and plants and trees turn the CO2 into oxygen for humans. This creates a cycle which makes Earth habitable by plants, trees and humans.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather is measured and seen short term while climate is measure and seen form a long term point of view.


answer:
Yes it can but it may not be 100% correct at times.


answer:
Yes since climate is seen from a long term point of view, climate can be predicted through patterns of past results.


answer:
Examples of feedback in systems can be: 
albedo, ice makes the land and ocean temperture lower 
amount of cloud cover,fossil fuels burned,


answer:
Examples of dynamic equilibrium in climate systems is the temperature, while it is steadily increasing, patterns of sudden increase and decrease of temperature is seen.


answer:
I think the global climate system is stable because in the long term perspective, we cna see a pattern of climate in past records.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases such as carbon dioxide that trap heat into the earth's atmosphere. This heat comes from the sun and would escape if there were no greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are important because without them the earth would be very cold and a place not sustainable for living things.


answer:
The Carbon Cycle is way carbon moves in the atmosphere. Carbon travels in a cycle moving all around the atmosphere. It is important that the carbon cycle exists to keep all living organisms alive on the earth with a balance of the carbon cycle.


answer:
Weather and Climate are different. The weather is short term and can be predicted, the weather usually means for one day. This can be predicted and varies according to whether it is Winter or Summer. The weather of the day can be sunny with a chance of rain for example. Climate is different, it is more long term and a vast knowlegde about the overall weather in a particular place. This is usually the same all year round and is like a ''summary'' of the particular place's weather.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to a certain extent. It cannot be predicted a very long time beforehand. But we can get a general knowledge of how the weather will be like on a certain day around a week beforehand.


answer:
Climate is not something that needs to be predicted. It is more based on where a place is located on the earth. For example, places near the Equator have a hotter and humid climate rather than somewhere near the poles of the earth.


answer:
Feedback in climate systems are how the earth's atmosphere responds to certain changes. For example, more rays coming from the sun in a climate system can lead to feedback of more carbon in the atmosphere.


answer:
Dynamic Equilibrium is when everything in a climate system has come to a constant, it will not move up or down but gradually stay the same.


answer:
Emergent properties are new patterns evolving in a climate system. Examples can include a fire, or a new pattern on the temperature of the earth's atmosphere as a whole.


answer:
Tragedy of the commons, we didn't learn about this one...


answer:
The current global climate system is stable in my opinion but others might say that it is not. Although it has kept a gradual pace in accordance to the global temperature, it is slowly going up.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere which trap heat on Earth. It is important as it regulates the global temperature and ensures that the temperature is suitabe for living and producing. Without greenhouse gases, our planet would be relatively warm when the sun faces us but the temperatures would drop significantly when the sun faces another direction.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle is which tracks the movements of carbon. It involves the release of carbon (ie. from factories, cars, people, animals etc) and the taking-in of carbon (ie. trees, plants)It is important as it helps identify the proportion of carbon which is being released and taken in, which will assist us to attain a sustainable use of carbon.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather is the condition of air and temperature over a certain area for a short period of time. On the other hand, climate is the condition of air and temperature over a wider region for an extended period of time.


answer:
Weather can, to an extent, be predicted. It would have to take in numerous calculations and recordings of factors such as the temperature for the past 12 hours, air pressure, air masses, cold/warm fronts. It would be impossible to generate a completely accurate prediction however, I think an approximate prediction can be obtained.


answer:
I think climate can be predicted because it observes temperature and air pressures over a long period of time. THe climate cannot change suddenly, it would change slowly. Taking into account of previous data and readings, I think that climate can be predicted.


answer:
Feedback is when the output of a system becomes an input. It can involve: water feedback, carbon emissions, cloud cover, albedo.



(SORRY, I ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER, IT'S JUST A GUESS)
D;


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium is when something remains relatively constant despite the changing factors around it. For example, the amount carbon in a climate system is an example of dynamic equilibrium, as the amount of carbon remains relatively constant.


answer:
Examples of emergent properties in climate systems are:
-oxygen
-CO2



(SORRY, I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION. AGAIN, THIS WAS JUST A GUESS. SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED)
D;


answer:
???? sorry.
 

I'm guessing tragedy of the commons involves changes in wind speed or something like that.


answer:
The current global climate system is not really stable as the CO2 emissions are increasing, thus an increased amount of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm, therefore the water in the oceans will evaporate due to the heat. Because there are more greenhouse gases, the earth will be warmer, hence there will be more cloud cover. The increased cloud cover will result in the increased amount of radiation reflecting off the clouds to the ground. In a way, the cloud cover traps the radiation and heat as well. Due to the increase in heat, our global climate system is not stable. If the climate continues on this trend to get warmer, our system will soon reach a tipping point where the system is unable to function properly due to the imbalance of negative and positive feedback.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are a combination of natural and human-released gases into the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is the mix of gases that is released, and this mix consists of gases like C02 and more. These gases work to prevent heat from escaping from our world and work with our Ozone layer.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the closed system in which carbon travels throughout our planet. Carbon goes through a number of things and gets transsported in different ways. Carbon is in almost everything; air, trees, animals, water. It is in every sphere of the world, and gets transported through respiration, evaporation, food, and more.


answer:
Weather and climate are not the same. Weather is the term used to describe the temperature and wind conditions on a certain day at a certain time, however climate is used to describe temperature, wind and location conditions in a certain area of the world over a prolonged period of time - around 30 years.


answer:
Weather can be predicted, but only a few days beforehand and these predictions are not always accurate, as the weather has quite unpredictable patterns. Weather cannot be predicted more than a couple of days beforehand. Predictions of the weather made on the news are not always right; they are almost just an estimate of what we should expect in the next few days.


answer:
Climate cannot be entirely predicted, however we know a few things that contribute to our knowledge of climate change. We do not know definitely what the climate will be like in 50 years time, however we predict that due to human actions combined with the natural events and cycles of the earth, our earth will be warmer, if we continue living the way we do.


answer:
Feedback in climate systems is how we describe what happens when something in the climate system has changed. For example, the feedback of the water effect being higher is the temperature rising.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium in our climate systems is what is used to describe the equilibrium between things in cycles in the world. If one thing increases, another will react in some way to this increase.


answer:
Emergent properties in climate systems are things that emerge from actions or things in the climate system .


answer:
The current global climate system is not stable, because if we continue to live exactly the way we are without changing a thing, the climate of the whole world will rise, perhaps only by one or two degrees but this rise in temperature can do a lot of harm.


answer:
Greenhouse gasses are gasses that trap heat in the atmosphere.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle in which carbon is released into the atmosphere by the oceans, people and othe living animals, and stored again in the earth.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. The weather is the current state of the atmosphere in a paticular place at a paticular time. The climate is the general weather of a place over a prolonged period of time.


answer:
Yes it can. Weather can be predicted using synoptic charts and sattelite images. By studying weather systems present in the atmosphere, people can predict how the weather systems are going to move across the land and what type of wether they will bring.


answer:
I don't think that climate can be predicted. This i sbecause climate is generally figured out by taking into account data collected over many years and averaging out the information.


answer:
Some examples of feedback include water and carbon. These are feedbacks because they are continuously in a cycle on the earth, releasing into the atmosphere and coming back.


answer:
The temperature. When some climate pattern changes, the temperature is generally affected. The temperature may rise or fall due to the sudden change, but will eventually re-stabalise itself, and stop incresing/decreasing. When it reaches that point, it is called a dynamic equilibrium.


answer:
I'm not sure. I have missed some lessons.


answer:
I don't know. As I said, i missed some lessons.


answer:
Yes, maybe. Thius is because even though some climate systems change and impact the temperature, the global climate system always manages to restabalise itselfand reach a dynamic equilibrium.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that are the Earth's atmosphere. These gases include water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane. these gases have the ability to absorb heat from te sun and to stop them from escaping from the Earth's atmosphere. When the sun's rays come through our atmosphere, they hit the ground and then rebound off the ground. Without greenhouse gases all the heat that came from the sun would escape from the Earth's atmosphere leaving Earth at a cold temperature of 
-14/-15 degrees.With the help of greenhouse gases, less heat can escape from the Earth because these gases can absorb the heat.


answer:
The Carbon cycle is the route which carbon takes through the different components of the system, sort of like the rain cycle. The carbon most probably starts in the air and can either get absorbed by the oceans or trees. The tree emit oxygen which is, in turn, used by animals who then exhale carbon dioxide and therefore releasing it back into the air and starting the whole cycle again.


answer:
No. Weather refers to a short term occurance such as a storm or a heatwave. Climat more generally refers to temperature in the long term and climate can include weather.


answer:
No. Weather cannot be predicted because weather is unpredictable. The weather is a dynamic equillibrium meaning that it is always changing. It is almost impossible to predict where the weather is heading.


answer:
Yes. Climate is more stable and if there is enough data and information from the past, we can see a pattern beginning to form and therefore can predict where it will head.


answer:
An example of feedback is carbon dioxide. When carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere it is able to comeback to the source of the carbon?


answer:
A dynamic equilibrium is a system where everything is balanced but yet everything is changing. For example, the level of carbon dioxide is always changing but is stable at the same time because there is some sort of output/input that counter reacts the change in levels of carbon dioxide.


answer:
An example of an emergent property of a climate system is...


answer:
A tragedy of the commons is a common tragedy that commonly happens in tragic situations.


answer:
No. In a natural sytem where fossil fuels werent burning, there would be a dynamic equilibrium. But because of the industrial revolution and the introduction to fossil fuels that emit a lot of carbon into the air, there is a much larger output of carbon dioxide than the carbon dioxide that is being absobed.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are important as they absorb infared light and without it the carbon cyce is not complete. (i.e. carbon dioxide)


answer:
a carbon cycle is when carbon dioxide becomes a part of the environment. it is important because we need carbon to live


answer:
they are different. weather is the day to day temperature (i.e. rain) whereas climate is the avergae temperature during the year.


answer:
yes, weather can be predicted by using satellites.


answer:
Climate cannot be predicted because climate is just the average temperature throughout the year ?


answer:
im not 100% sure but i think feedback is when


answer:
when you change one facotr in a model and that affects everything else (i.e. the density of the trees affect the spread of the fire)


answer:
im not sure but i think its things that emerge?


answer:
right now i think it is stable but in the future it will not be becuase there will be too much uv radiation and carbon dioxide. but right now it is stable.


answer:
This is possible. The reason being, even a little change in movement in the air currents will effect in a change in weather somewhere else.


answer:
Other rules or strategies that the robots should follow in order to most effectively and efficiently find all of the gold on the planet is being given seperate areas of the planet to look for gold. This will allow them to find more gold time efficiently.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that trap some of the heat, that the earth reflects from the sun. These gases are needed as without them, the world would not have different climates or be able to sustain life due to the immense cold.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle where the carbon dioxide travels from animals, into the air and ocean, to trees, which then converts to oxygen, which lving beings breathe in. And thus the cycle begins again.


answer:
Weather and climate are different, However weather is dependant on climate. If a certain place's climate was humid, you would expect lots of rain. Climate is the one that determines what kind of plants grow or what kind of weather, or average temperature. What kind of weather would this climate cause.


answer:
Weather can be only predicted a week before and even then it is not very accurate. With today's technology, it has become more accurate. Weather is a very fickle thing.


answer:
Climate can be predicted moreso than weather because it rarely changes less than weather does.


answer:
Albedo feedback where levels of ice covered the earth are differientated. Another example would be water feedback.


answer:
An example of dynamic equililbrium would be the carbon in the atmosphere and the ocean along with the moisture, with the cloud cover When one things changes, the others attempt to keep up.


answer:
No, it is not stable, as due to climate warming.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are Co2 gases in the atmostphere and the ocean. They are important as they act as an insulating blanket around the Earth to help keep the Earth warm. Without greenhouse gases our Earth would be several degrees cooler and therefore many things would not be able to survive.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle of Carbon Dioxide travelling between the atmostphere and the ocean through variations in the temperature of the atmosphere. The carbon cycle is important as it helps the carbon of the air and ocean continously move and keep the cycle going.


answer:
Weather and Climate are two different things. The weather is what we, as humans, experience daily such as rain, sunshine, wind etc. The weather changes daily and is predictable to a degree - however we can do nothing to change the weather. 
Climate is the term given to the general long-term weather of a particular place. Climates can be something like arid, humid, tropical etc. Climates can change slowly over a long period of time and the actions we do such as burning fossil fuel can have an effect on the climate, such as making it warmer.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to a degree - It is impossible to know the weather in 10 yeas but the weather for the next couple of days can be predicted through weather balloons and satellite imagery. However the predictions are not always accurate, even if we use the most sophisticated equipment.


answer:
Climate can be predicted in the sense that a change in climate can take a long period of time. The climate of the deserts of Australia, for example, is dry and arid. However if we as humans participated in an activity that would change the climate of the deserts of Australia and would result in a large amount of rain falling over the deserts, that rain and the huge change in climate could be predictable to a degree.


answer:
Feedback is when something is taken in and comes out as another substance. An example of feedback in climate system is when the light from the sun hits the earth which rebounds from the carbon dioxide and turns into UV rays.


answer:
A dynamic equilibrium is a perfect system where everything is equal. In accordance to climate systems, a dynamic equilibrium describes a situation where the amount of carbon in the atmostphere and the amount of carbon in the oceans are the same.


answer:
Emergent properties describes properties in climate systems that are emerged,rather than taken in. An example of emergent properties would be carbon dioxide, which is emerged from the ocean, instead of the sunlight that hits the ocean and bounces back.


answer:
The current global climate system is not stable as it is not in an dynamic equilibrium. Variables such as the burnng of fossil fuel has releasesd much more carbon into the atmostphere then there is in the oceans  which therefore has trapped more heat in the earth then ever before.


answer:
No. Because the effect of a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil hardly has any effect to the people in Brazil, let alone create a snowstorm or duststorm in Brazil. So, how would it be possible for a creature that small, which only leaves the effect of a small cool breeze on someone's cheek, help cause a snowstorm in Alaska?


answer:
The robots should learn to track their steps. Because, it will allow them to find the gold more effectively and efficiently. For example; if a robot ends up spinning in circles around the same area, it is not very efficient.


answer:
We should decrease our fossil fuel usage and greenhouse gas emissions. These two things play an important factor in our climate. By reducing this, we are able to sustain our global climate for a longer time.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are essential. They are so important because without them trapping the heat from the sun with the layer of gases, life on Earth would not be possible. Some of the heat from the sun is trapped by the Earth's atmosphere and maintain temperatures that are able to sustain life.


answer:
The amount of carbon in the atmosphere is constant. It is constantly changing into different forms. It can exist as carbon molecules in the atmosphere, as carbon beneath the Earth, as carbon in the ocean, as carbon in animals and more.

It is important because it keeps the temperature of the earth constant.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather is the short-term variation in the temperature while climate is the more general and is the long-term variation in the temperature.


answer:
Yes, weather can be predicted by using special technological equipment to measure factors like the amount of humidity in the atmosphere, wind pressure and wind speed. However, the weather forecast is never 100% guaranteed to be accurate, because the Earth's weather is constantly changing and is in a way unpredictable.


answer:
Yes, climate can be predicted. By creating models that represent patterns with the lements in the atmosphere on Earth and examining old data, trends and relationships and be drawn. We can use this information to predict how the climate is likely to change in the upcoming future.


answer:
Some carbon is released by burning fossil fuels. 
The sun's radiation is an imput into the Earth and it is also released through the Earth's atmosphere.


answer:
Some examples of dynamic equilibrium in climate systems are the carbon cycle, the oxygen cycle and water cycle. Despite everything moving around and changing into different forms as they are recycled on Earth, the amount of everything remains the same. There is no more or less.

The albedo reflects some of the sun's heat.


answer:
Emergent properties are trends or things that emerge out of normal trends. They are the anomaly. Some examples include


answer:
When there is a tipping point - when the amount of something on Earth reaches a certain point that it just 'tips' over. For example, the


answer:
Yes, it is relatively stable. Changes are not sudden and immediate. Temperature and climate gradually changes over time.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases released into the atmosphere and covers the Earth like a blanket and creates a greenhouse effect by preventing the heat from escaping. They are important because they keep the Earth warm and makes it habitable for humans live on.


answer:
The carbon cycle is cycle that carbon molecules go through. This is important because humans can then understand the amount of carbon being released and absorbed in the atmosphere and observe its pattern.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather is the day to day occurrence of natural phenomenon whereas climate is the long term observation of an areas temperature and weather and determining what that area is like at a particular time.


answer:
Weather can be predicted by professional meterologists, but even then, the predictions won't always be accurate.This is because weather is determined due to a number of factors and a subtle change can alter the weather completely.


answer:
Climate can be predicted because it determined by what the temperature and weather is like for a long period of time and is an area's overall weather. It is a general estimation and is therefore more likely to be accurate.


answer:
One example fo dynamic equilibrium is the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The release of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is kept at a generally even level because animals and humans release carbon dioxide which is then abosrbed by the plants to produce oxygen and sugar. There is however an up and down pattern because plants do not absorb carbon dioxide in winter when their leaves fall off so although the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is fairly balanced, it is dynamic.


answer:
Emergent properties in climate systems can be the sudden difference in temperature due to the change of one aspect of the model. It is the emerging result due to the a domino effect caused by the consequence of changing one variable in the model.


answer:
The current global system is not stable because the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere has increased significantly due to the burning of fossil fuel.Plants are unable to absorb this excessive amount of carbon dioxide so more carbon dioxide is in the atmospher adding to the amount of greenhouse gas. The Earth is warming up and therefore, the oceans are starting to get warmer. This causes more evaporation in the atmosphere and therefore more water vapour is in the atmosphere yet agin adding to the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that are trapped under the blanket-like atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are important because they make the conditions on the Earth hotter, and these differences can lead to climate change.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle in which carbon dioxide goes through. This is important, as it is believed that carbon dioxide is leading to climate change. Additionally, because us humans excrete carbon dioxide through a chemical reaction, it is important to understand what the effects of our doings are.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather is the type of condition that a place will have, for example, sunshine and clouds. However, climate is the type of condition that a place will have over a longer period of time. This regards what the short and long term effects will be, and climate is also used to help predict the type of weather that will occur in the future.


answer:
Weather can be predicted, to some extent. The use of satellites in our skies monitor the weather conditions, but they can only be predicted until the next week. Although they are not always 100% accurate, they do give some idea of what type of weather will come about.


answer:
Climate can be predicted, to some extent, just like the weather. Because the climate looks at the weather conditions of a particular place over the long term, that can be taken into account and we can find patterns are specific types of weather that is likely to occur at that place.


answer:
Some examples of feedback in climate systems include the carbon cycle. Feedback is when something from nature is taken in, then taken back out in a different form.


answer:
An example of dynamic equilibrium in climate systems includes the relationship in the carbon cycle. Carbon dioxide is taken in, but it is also returned naturally. This shows  an equal balance in nature.


answer:
Examples of emergent properties in climate systems includes the wind. The wind is an example of an emergent property, because it can cause differences within nature.


answer:
An example of 'tragedy of the commons' in climate systems includes the oxygen.


answer:
The current global climate system is not stable, as everything is changing. Although we can argue that the global climate system has been changing since the start of time, science is always discovering new and amazing facts about the climate. It is important to monitor these changes and be aware of what may happen in the world around us, because a suttle difference in the nature can alter greatly in our lifestyles.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that help trap the heat in the atmosphere. This is important because it keeps the temperature at a steady rate, not too hot nor not too cold. It also makes earth inhabitable, a place where humans cn live.


answer:
The carbon is the cycle in which air and carbon moves in a clockwise direction. The air and carbon starts of cool ,gets warmer which makes them rise as warm air rises and then it is cooled down and the process is repeated. This is important because it regulates the earths temperature, not leaving the air and carbon in the air not too hot nor not too cold.


answer:
Weather and climnate are different. Weather is the temperature predicted of short term and climate is the temperature predicted of long term. Although weather and climate is different, climate is effected and by the weather.


answer:
Weather can be predicted by sending up weather balloons with a sensor that sends imformation about the atmosphere to a computer and from there it is recorded.


answer:
Climate can be predicted, though I don't know how. I think it is through a machine.


answer:
Examples of feedback in climate systems are carbon and the sun's ray, because these things cause other things to change.


answer:
sorry, I don't know. I learnt about it whilst doing the activity but I forgot.


answer:
The current global climate system is stable because the temperature is not decreasing or increasing dynamically. Though as years pass, the current global climate system won't be as stable as it is now as right now it is changing bit by bit and by then it will be changed a lot.


answer:
a butterfly flapping its wings cannot cause a snowstorm in alaska. due to the vast distance between the two countries, the force the butterfly exerts on the air by flapping its wings will have dissipate before it reaches alaska. for example, if you drop a pebble into a pond, it will cause ripples but these ripples will gradually decrease in size as it travels further away from the spot where the pebble was dropped.


answer:
The robots should collect data that help determine which area would most probably have gold. that way, they are efficient when searching for gold. robots should only have a short distance between each other so that they can effectively communicate with each other.


answer:
recommendations for a climate policy are to limit carbon emmissions and fossil fuel burning. Also, it should be encouraged to use alternative sources of energy such as wind energy, geothermal energy, etc.


answer:
yes it is possible because one small thing can have big effects later on. i think this is known as the butterfly effect.


answer:
that once a robot finds gold, it calls the other robots to come and get all the gold there (like the ants)

robot teams go in different directions and call the rest of their team once something is found. they have different sectors to find gold in (one team in one part of the planet and another team in another part of the plane tand so on)


answer:
I believe that snow storms cannot be caused solely, or more so directly by he butterfly flapping its wings. However changes in the atmospheric conditions may be displayed through the butterfly flapping its wings, and due to those changes, a snowstorm could be caused in Alaska.


answer:
In order for these robots to effectively and efficiently bring gold back to earth, they would also need to limit the amount of gold they carry-because gold is heavy, once it comes back to the earth where there is gravity, it could potentially perform an unsafe landing, causing destruction and damage of some sort. 
Another obvious rule they will have to follow is to only spread out to the distance they are able to communicate over, and also perhaps the information that these robots obtain should be reported back to the spaceship itself, not directly to earth for with each reporting directly back to earth, they could potentially disrupt each other and it is less efficient for those on earth to receive thousands of pieces of separate information. 
Also, because many machines use gold as well, these robots will need to have sensors that only detect the gold on the planet-it would be chaos if they started to detect each other.


answer:
There are perhaps no wise enough recommendations to make to a United Nations committee, for the easiest answe will be to stop using, or more so to use less fossil  fuel. But with the current ways of life it is almost impossible to suddently reduce, or stop using fossil fuel. It will affect our quality of life significantly, and although our future generations may be affected at a larger scale, without us, future generations will not even exist.
Therefore, I conclude that because the simplest recommendations will come with a positive however with a larger negative, there are no suggestions that will suit to our society today.


answer:
This is not possible. One butterfly flapping its wings can only jiggle the air to a certain extent but this is not to a greater scale where this air can move to Alaska and create a snowstorm. 
The scale of a butterfly flapping its wings and jiggling the air is much smaller to the scale of a snow storm developing in Alaska.


answer:
- Stick together as a group so that the robots don't lose signal
-


answer:
- There should be a limit on the amount of Carbon released into the Earth's atmosphere for each country.
 
 - A sufficient amount of trees should be placed in each country to keep the system to a dynamic equlibriu


answer:
Greenhouse gases are consisted of various gases, one of which is carbon dioxide. Greenhouse gases keep the Earth warm by trapping the heat emitted by the Sun's radiation. Without it, Earth would be too cold for many living things to survive. However, because of greenhouse gases, the Earth's average temeperature becomes approximately 21-23 degrees celcius, which is suitable for life.


answer:
The carbon cycle is based on how the climate system is a closed system. Although the carbon cannot escape, it has the ability to move around everywhere within the Earth's atmosphere and even hydrosphere.


answer:
Weather and climate are different, because weather is a response to climate. Climate generally refers to the global temperature and such which is continuously changing, however weather is seen to be a temporary event.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to a certain extent, as it is a response to the climate. It can be roughly estimated using modern technologies.


answer:
Climate can be predicted to a certain extent as well but unlike the weather, the climate needs to be predicted through previous records and the fluctuation of data.


answer:
Feedback is when an input alters the way an output works. A few ecamples of feedback in climate systems are water feedback and the albedo feedback. Water feedback is when the water effect is altered in a way so that the temperature is changed and albedo feedback is when the ice on the surface of the water is changed in response to the global temperature.


answer:
One example of dynamic equilibrium is the movement of carbon.


answer:
Emergent properties occur when one aspect of climate systems are changed, which in turn causes a difference on another aspect of climate systems, in parallel to how the first aspect has been changed. One example is when carbon dioxide is being emitted, causing dust particles to be heated up and rise. This in turn causes the dust particle to be further away from the source of the heat, causing it to cool down and fall. Once it has fallen, it receives heat again and rises up, creating a cycle.


answer:
It is not stable as temperatures and other aspects of climate systems continue to fluctuate endlessly and will continue to do so in the future.


answer:
On layer of green house gases are covering our earth, green houses gases are made up of various elements one of them being Carbon dioxide. Recently with the increase of industrialisation, humans have started to seek for energy resources such as coal and fossil fuels. Not only are we damaging the habitat by seeking these resources the burning of these fuels have increased the rate of Carbon being released into the air. Due to this Greenhouse gases have been increasing. Green house gases are what keeps our earth warm and at a constant temperature, it traps in warm air and regulates the earth's temperature making it not to hot or not to cold. With the increase of Green house gases it seems that the temperature on earth has increased.


answer:
The carbon cycle is when carbon goes through the different stages of earth. it goes in the cycle where we produce carbon, which then circulates the earth, some of them going into the sea, over a long period of time carbon is compressed and thus this becomes fossil fuels. we humans dig up these fossil fuels becasue it is one of the many important resources we use. The carbon cycle is extremely important becuase if there is too much carbon in the air, earth will become inhabitable.


answer:
Weather an climate are two different things, climate varies over the earth. Countries that are nearier to the equator have a hot climate, whereas countries nearier to the pole have colder climates. climate is something that changes over a large expanse of time, flora and fauna grow in climates and adapt to this. Weather is something that changes regularly, the weather may change over night and the weather contributes to the change of climate. if weather is constantly hot and humid over a long period of time, the climate may change slightly.


answer:
Weather can be predicted, it is said that weather is a history book and is repeated constantly, meteorologist predict the weather by comparing the results to past weather, they predict the weather by doing so. Modern technology such as weather balloons have helped meteorolgists to predict the weather.


answer:
Climate can be predicted, with such as slow change that it makes, climates tend to be easier to predict becasue scientists are able to see the small changes rather easily and make assumptions.


answer:
Some example are postitive feedback and negative feedback, some negative feedback in the climate is the amount of carbon beign released into the air, some positive feedback is the temperature in the air as the albedo affect heats the earth.


answer:
Some emergent properties are the carbin in the air and dust particles, they emerge together to form a new factor


answer:
The current global system is not stable, the amount of carbon that we are releasing into the air is adding to the greenhouse affect, thus making our earth a few degrees warmer, scientists are finding parts of antarctica melting and people have become concerned, we have reliased that our witners are shorter and flora and fauna are reacting to these change in a negative way.


answer:
Yes, although this sounds ludicrous, it is possible. The butterfly flapping its wings can cause a slight change in the wind speed, causing a slightly bigger wind and then eventually a snowstorm forms.


answer:
The robots should only cover a certain part of the planet at a time. They should spread out evenly - the maximum distance that they can stil communicate with at least one other robot. The robots should be able to pass messages to each other one by one at a time, via other robots. 

Once this maximum area is all searched and covered, the robots then spread out in the some way and cover another area of the planet. They should do this until the entire planet is covered.


answer:
I don't think it is possible that a butterfly flapping is wings in Brazil can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. Firstly, the air movement caused by the butterfly is very small and very weak. Secondly, I don't think that the air movement could travel to Alaska.


answer:
I think the procedures outlined are clever. However, to improve effectiveness and efficiency, each robot could be pre-programmed to take a certain path. This way, no piece of land is searched twice. Or, the robots could move in a straight line, like a police search, so that they pass over as much land as possible.


answer:
Fossil fuel use should be minimised as it has a great impact on global temperatures. This leads to the dying out of plants and animals.


answer:
It has been said that a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. However, is it true? Is it possible. My opinion on this is that it is not true and is not possible. 

Wind and storms are not caused by butterflies or animals, it is caused by the changes in temperature in the air. Warm air meeting cool air will cause the warm air to rise above the cool air due to the differing density. This creates movements in the air. Therefore, it is not possible for a mere butterfly to create movements in the air.

Alaska is locates towards the top of America whereas Brazil is at the bottom. Both places are very far apart. It is impossible for a mere butterfly to generate so much force that the force could reach Alaska from all the way in Brazil.

In conclusion, I believe that the statement above is not true.


answer:
Due to the disruption in long range communication, it would be more effective for the robots to stay in a certain area and extract the gold there, then move on to another area.

When they move to another area, let it be programed that they only travel a certain amount of distance, this will ensure that the communication will not be lost.


answer:
-Sustainable use of carbon
-Grow more trees to controll the amount of carbon in the atmosphere


answer:
Green house gases are important because they warm up to world. If we didn't have green house gases, then the earth would be extremely cold. Greenhouse gases come from things such as plants when they release carbon dioxide. An example of this would be when green houses, where the plants are in a glass house. The plants heat up the house. Green houses gases could be carbon dioxide?


answer:
The carbon cycle is a cycle of lows and highs but they are in a cycle. They vary from season to season because of different temperatures and the environment. It is important because we can use this to predict future temperature.


answer:
Weather and climate are not the same.
 Climate is the physical environment where as weather is the pattern of temperature.


answer:
Weather can be predicted. Because of weather maps and stations where they record the temperature they can see moving clouds or any other change and predict if it will be windy/hot/calm. Although the weather cannot be foreseen within a 7 day period.


answer:
Climate can be predicted by long term analysis. For example if the temperature was going up, then we cansee the long term effects of the earths climate. we can predict how temperatures will effect the earth's climate.  We can predict climate with carbon dioxide levels in the earth's waters, or by the amount of carbon diocide that we are releasing.


answer:
I think a feedback in climate system would be the carbon cycle as they give feedback.


answer:
A dynmaic equilibrium is an equilibrium where everything has to be equal.


answer:
emergent properties are properties where they are emergent.


answer:
tragedy of the commons are the things that are so common that they are tragic.


answer:
Yes it is stable if we didnt omit any extra gases but even if we do the gases can still predict the system.


answer:
I don't think that a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. I think this as the air pressure created by the flapping butterfly will not be strong enough to move and create something so large, such as a snowstorm in Alaska. Even if the pressure were to build up, the air could and possibly would go down to the South rather than up to Alaska.


answer:
The robots should spread out over the planet in a pattern so that every robot can atleast contact ten robots. They should be set onto equal sized areas and search for gold only in that area. If they are spread out evenly enough, the robots should at least be able to contact one robot, which could contact another, in a domino-like effect. Therefore, all of them will be able to contact each other, just indirectly.


answer:
We should prevent the use of fossil fuels and we should plant more trees. We should prevent the use of transport. We should get rid air conditioning. Maybe technology isn't the actual causes of these things, so I guess there is nothing we can do until we are absolutely sure about a cause. If we could just keep researching and watching for changes, and recording the changes in the climate, we will be able to make a decision on a cause, if there is any, and therefore will be able to sort the problem out.


answer:
Yes because a small burst of wind can be carried along a chain of reactions that eventually reach Alaska and thereby help in forming a snow storm.


answer:
There should be some checks on whether the sudden appearance of several thousands of robots will disrupt the planet's climate, ecosystem and inhabitants. There should also be a check on whether removing all the gold on this planet will somehow destroy it.
The robots and the spaceship will probably run on some sort of fuel. This fuel will mostly likely be fossil fuels. The emmissions of the fossil fuel can damage the planet's climate system like fossil fuels are currently doing to out climate system. A strategy to avoid emmiting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere of the planet is to use the sun. If frequent solare flares are enough to disrupt communication signals then the sun should be powerful enough to power several thousands of robots and a shapeship.
Other precautions should be taken such as whether there is any extra terrestrial activity taking place and if so, is the activity of the robots disrupting the creatures that live on the planet. 
Hoenstly i dont think this question is very well thought out because its not very practicial for a company to send thousands of robots in to space just find gold. Once the gold was found and brought back to Earth it would severely lower the price and value of gold making it invaluable and ending up in a massive loss for the company due to consrtuction of the robots and othere expenses.


answer:
I didnt really learn anything with the models and it pretty much just confused me and therefore i find it impossible to answer most of these questions including this one.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere including water vapour that helps keep the heat within Earth's atmosphere from leaking out to space. They are important as if there is no greehouse gases the Earth would be freezing cold with no specific patterns in climate (the water cycle) and Earth would be uninhabitable.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the rotation of the carbon particles between the amount of dissolved particles in the c-oceans and the amount in the sky. When one produces carbon dioxide the sky is affected first increasing. When the sky increases so does the carbon particles that are dissloved in the large expanse of water. There is a set ratio of the carbon particles in the ocean to the sky. When one tracks the pathway of one carbon particle they find it travels in a cycle from either sky/ ocean to the other and back in this closed environment.


answer:
Weather and climate are different in the way that weather measures the occurences in the atmosphere of a specific area. Climate may describe the type of area such as sub tropical area and is pretty constant. Weather may change from day to day.


answer:
Weather can be predicted but not entirely predicted. Weater balloon may be set off at a place which will track the incoming weather However things may cange drastically in the weather.


answer:
Climate can be predicted from the graphs of the rainfall, amount of sunshne., etc averaged to find the pattern as to what happened.


answer:
Some examples of feedback in systems include the more the carbon in the air with more pressure even its out??


answer:
Some examples of the dynamic equilibrium include the balance of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in caomparison with the c-oceans.

Some emergent properties of climate properties include the


answer:
The tragedy of the commons include the affect of one particular factor which ruins the rest. Ifr one pollutes the atmosphere and the other who have not contaminated the air which is a shared common. This is was is called the tragedy of the commons.


answer:
The current global climate is not stable as the temperatures are rising dramatically.The rising of the temperature of the earth indicates that the polar caps will melt. The polar caps contains large stores of perafrost which embeds the fossils of the past prehistoric animals which lived in the polar caps. When this is released large amounts of greehouse gases are released which in turn heats up and melt even more permafrost.  Many animals will be affected by the chnging of the temperature causing extinction.


answer:
Maybe it could possibly help with causing a snowstorm in alaska, but only contribute extremely minor-ly. If a person walking causes more air movement than a butterfly, and a human has never been proven to cause a snowstorm, a butterfly definitely causes less air movement and cannot do much harm. However, maybe all these things that cause air-movement (including the butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil) could combine to cause a large amount of air movement. This amount of air-movement could then possibly reach the 'tipping-point' which is the point that is just enough to cause a snowstorm in Alaska.


answer:
The robots should be sent to one section of the planet, and only explore within a certain radius of the spaceship that is both small enough for the robots to definitely communicate or send signals to eachother, and also a small enough radius for each robot to be able to find their way back to the spaceship. Once one section of the planet where gold is suspected to lie has been searched through, the spaceship can then move on to another section of the planet, with the same radius rules explained above. Precautions need to be made to ensure that robots will not be damaged during the course of this journey; from taking off from earth, to suffering through the air pressure, to landing, to working in that planet's atmospheric condition, running out of battery etc. Precautions need to be made to make sure that robots are kept safe at all times and have enough battery to keep them running. Also, the amount of fuel in the spaceship must be enough.


answer:
-Less burning of fossil-fuels
-Lower water-effect
-Carbon-dioxide in different areas and spheres of the world kept constant and sustainable
-Control deforestation
-


answer:
No. This is not possible as a butterfly jiggling its wings could not possibly create a snowstorm in Alsaska. When a butterfly 'jiggles' the air, the movement is so minute that even in the most remote possibility that the 'jiggle' was to somehow turn into strong wind, the movement could not be carried all the way across the globe.


answer:
The robot could be carrying a small camera mounted on its back to record its movements. When it comes back to Earth the scientests could study the videotapes and photographs to design more efficient robots to send next time that is more suited to the terrain. 
The robot could be equipped with something more sophisticated than just a scoop, such as a precision-cut laser to cut around the gold it sensors so the scoop does not accidently scratch or break the gold. 
As the robot would need to be charged regularly if it was to stay on the planet for an extended period of time so they could carry extra packs of power supplies such as batteries. 
However in saying that the idea of sending robots into space is not a very bright one - the robots would take a large amount of money to make and by bringing in large amounts of gold, the co-oporation would lower the value of gold on Earth. Therefore, they will end up making a loss in terms of profit and money for value. However if the robots were on the planet for scientific study as well as collectin gold then the mission would have some purpose other than profit.


answer:
My recommendations for climate policy would be to:
-Find another source of renewable energy and strive to switch from fossil fuels to something like wind energy
-Try reduce the amount of carbon we are releasing into the atmostphere


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that reside in the Earth's atomosphere, and they impact upon global temperature eventually. Essentially these  are mainly composed carbon dioxide, but also water vapour. There is a linear relationship between the amount of carbon in the air and ocean, albedo effect, and terminable energy use. It is beacuse of the impact these varied gases have, that makes them important. Our current stance on fossil fuel comsumption indicates the complete usage of this source in 90 years or so- while thousands of flora and fauna species have vansihed due to these effects. It is important that the greenhouse gases are completely halted in production, even though it will not bring back the extinct species, Earth can preserve it for the remaining species and for mankind.


answer:
The carbon cycle is a wane and flow of the carbon levels on earth. As it is known, the majority of the land mass is in the NOrthern Hemisphere. When the trees in the Northern Hemisphere grow and use carbon, the carbon levels decrease. However, when winter and autumn arrives, the trees shed their leaves and enter hibernation, which stops them using as much of the carbon. It is during this period that the carbon levels rise, only to be suppressed one season later, in spring. This cyle repeats endlessly.


answer:
Weather can be predicted through measuring instruments sent into the area for observation and prediction. These little data collectors relay the information anaysled to the weather station, which utilises the information received and turns that to a weather report, which we receive. Through usage of the weather by media, technology and gaily life we can 'predict' what the weather is. E.G. Apple apps on weather, news and weather reports, internet site, google and chrome.


answer:
Technically, climate can be predicted, although mostly these are not, as they generally remain stable and constant. Climate can be predicted through location- e.g. if the area is closer to the equator the more bipolar the weather conditions. Japan has some freezing winters and boiling hot summers.


answer:
eg. In a system of ant trails, the ant searches until it finds food, and returns to the nest. Upon finding the food, it leaves a food trail which communicates to other ants that there is food there. This is the effect of feedback. Sometimes, the feedack is lost too quickly to be of use, so it is lost. This is the alternate version of feedback, the feedback loop.

No, the current global climate is not stable at all, our comsuption rate is, wideknown as death of mankind.


answer:
Yes because the wind created by a butterfly's wings can jiggle a small amount of air but it can enough to create a snowstorm when combined with other causes such as storm and wind.Therefore there is enough for a butterfly in Brazil to jiggle the air and help create a snowstorm in Alaska.


answer:
Frequently report back to the space centre, effective communication will help the robots and people on Earth to locate and find were the gold is.


answer:
Recommendations.
Lowering of fossil fuels will help lower pollution in cities and around the world. 
Solar panels on schools, and office buildings/skyscapers will lower the cost of electricity and CO2 produced through electricity.


answer:
Greenhouses gases regulate the temperature of the earth by trapping heat from the sun. They are important for making conditions on earth habitable for humans.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the ongoing relationship between the carbon dioxide released by living creatures, fossil fuels etc. and the carbon dioxide absorbed by plants. It is important as it mantains carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.


answer:
Weather relates to temperature, cloud formations etc. whereas climate is the (often long-term) study of weather patterns. This includes the gradual increase or decrease of temperature on earth, levels of carbon dioxide and the way it is changing.


answer:
Weather is difficult to predict on a small scale as the earth is always changing. It is not always accurate as we must draw conclusions in a short amount of time.


answer:
Because climate is long-term, scientists can use many years of knowledge and evidence of climate patterns to draw out answers. This allows them to make predictions about climate based on the evidence. Much like an experiment, the more readings, the more likely it will be for accuracy.


answer:
Feedback in climate systems includes the level of carbon dioxide in both the atmosphere and the ocean, temperature, amount of light reflected by a certain level of albedo, amount of trees and sheep.


answer:
A few examples of dynamic equilibrium in climate systems include- the relationship between carbon dioxide levels and fossil fuel, temperature and albedo, cloud cover and temperature


answer:
Emergent properties in climate systems include convection currents in the earth's atmosphere: areas of heat rising, mostly from the land, and areas of cool air sinking.


answer:
The current global cimate system is gradually increasing from previously stable conditions, although we can barely feel the changes at the moment.


answer:
Yes, a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. This is possible, because everything is interconnected and therefore a small thing can make such a big difference somewhere else in the world.


answer:
Rules or strategies that the robots should follow in order to most effectively and efficiently find all of the gold on the planet include not straying too far from the spaceship, and to quickly empty the gold in the spaceship once it has it.

However, I personally do not believe that humans should just go to another planet and steal all of that gold. I find it hard to comprehend why humans want to continually evolve and make our lives better. I think that the lives that we are living with now is good enough. Why should we use all of our availiable technology to expand and glorify our own lives? Humans are so selfish these days. I think we should use our technology to benefit the Earth we are living on today. The world itself is so complicated and brimmed full of problems that it is insane to think that going to another planet to scoop up gold using robots will benefit our lives. There are people all over the world who can do nothing to stop the fact that they do not have access to clean water, or a decent home. Why don't we stop and think about our fellow human race? We should help them instead of looking for riches on another planet.


answer:
No, that is incorrect. I am not a member of the United Nation committe, but nonetheless, I still have recommendations for climate policy. 
Firstly, I think that all countries should abide by the same climate policies. It will simply be unjust if one country were to emit thousands of tonnes of carbon dioxide, and another were not to.
Secondly, I think that all countries should also limit the use of fossil fuels.


answer:
This cannot be true, as the amount of air to be disturbed to cause a snowstorm would be huge and even if the butterfly was the largest butterfly in the world, it would still not be able to cause a snowstorm. Also the energy for a snowstorm in Alaska, the snow and other causes must be taken into account. Such as the moisture, wind speeds and recent weather. There is no way a little buttefly can cause a snowstorm in Alaska.


answer:
It would be a good idea not to overmine as that would cause major damages to that planet. Overmining is never a good thing. With robots, that would be no limit to how much they will mine. Also robots should only take a certain amount. Gold is not a useful element, only admired for its ability to not rust and its pretty golden shine. There is no need to set a high amount of gold to be mined.


answer:
Governments should set about making policies and time certain blackouts to lower electricity levels. There should be policies on what level of electricity and supply only a certain amount. Instead of fossil fuel, to power electricity, there should be thought on sustainable power source, such as a solar panel.


answer:
I still believe everything I wrote earlier- namely that by moving it's wings, the butterfly can shif t air, creating a small degree of wind, and through an effect characterized only as a 'ripple effect' move enough quantities of air to then help to cause a snowstorm in Alaska. This is based upon the assumption that global atmospheric systems are simply that- global, and thus are interconnected in a way to allow this ripple to occur.


answer:
Fundamentally, the idea is flawed in that it would only encourage the price of gold on Earth to decrease, lowering the value of the gold being brought in from the distant planet. Although at first there would be a significant profit for whichever corporation backed the endeavour, eventually, due to the dropping price of the gold, the corporations profits would not be enough to sustain its continued projects on the other planet.


answer:
In terms of recommendations for international climate policy, I would recommenf that instead of only the proof FOR the current climate change theory being examined by international bodies, that skeptical scientists of the current theory are also requested to present their case, adn that the data for both arguments is examined by a number of non-biased, individual scientists, adn that all of theses scientists' findings are published, each in equal importance to the other. Then, if there is found to be absolutely no reasonable evidence for the current theory to be false, I would recommend that the United NAtions acts under the United NAtions Charter, under article 41/ 42 which enables the UN to act in a legally binding capability and require all nations by international law to reduce their carbon emissions by amounts relative to their current emissions.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are made up of water vapour and other gases that traps and prevents the heat reflected from the earth's surface from escaping the atmosphere, enabling life on earth. The increase in greenhouse gases lead to a higher temperature on earth, causing global warming and other complications


answer:
A carbon cycle is when the carbon is released into the atmosphere through the burning of fuel. The carbon that has been released then travels through the air and the earth's sea, before being compressed back to fuel again after an extensive period of time. The carbon cycle is important as the fuel is burnt, the carbon contributes to the increase of temperature on Earth.


answer:
Although the distance from Brazil and Alaska are quite vast, a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil could somehow affect the air currents, which could continue on til it reaches Alaska, causing a snowstorm.


answer:
The robots should dig for gold in a small area of the surface each day, to ensure that the robots can communicate to each other. The next day, the robots should search for gold in another small area and the day after that. They should continue to do this until they have dug through the whole planet and located all the gold that is possible to acquire. Because they are robots, they should be able to survive for quite a long time, but if a couple robots are malfunctioning, new batches of robots can be sent to the planet.


answer:
Fossil fuel use, land use and the clearing of land needs to be reduced in order to make sure that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and oceans are also reduced. This will cause a regular amount of greenhouse gases to keep the Earth warm but not too warm.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases in the atmosphere that trap the UV rays that rebound of the earth's surface from the sun. These gases do not hold all rays, some escape back into space. These gases are important to our environments stability as the rays they trap warm the earth, giving the ability for life on earth.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the continous conversion of oxygen to carbon dioxide and vice versa. For example, humans intake oxygen and convert it to carbon dioxide, which is then converted back to oxygen by trees who absorb the carbon dioxide in the air, creating a balance of gases.


answer:
Weather and climate are different things but I'm still not sure on the exact classification seperating them. Maybe weather is the physical manifestations of climate, while climate  is th actual processes.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to a certain extent by looking back in history and observing previous patterns which gives us an idea of what weather could be like in the future, but altogether we cannot ever completely trust these predictions.


answer:
Climate can also be predicted by looking back into previous records and taking in todays new factors that could influence these outcomes, but again we can never be 100% certain. I also believe it is slightly harder and more involved to predict climate.


answer:
Feedback in climate systems is basically the difference between what has come out of the output and comes back into the input. The change gives us information about various processes in the climate that we cannot oberve with our own eyes.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium is when we have two or more factors in our climate which constantly follow eachother's erratic patterns, even though they may not be in the same amount. This creates a dynamic (changing) equilibrium (balance of these factors, to keep something going steadily).


answer:
Emergent properties in climate systems include convection currents of the ocean, because of their cycle.


answer:
Our current global climate system is not at all stable, the amount of CO2 is rising and creating a thicker layer of greenhouse gases which is breaking or wearing down the protective bubble of our atmosphere, letting in more direct UV rays and trapping more, which is steadily heating up our earth (hence 'global warming'). On top of this we are cutting down more trees and replanting few meaning the balance of carbon dioxide to oxygen is changing, not helped by our ever growing population.


answer:
there has been a theory that the flapping of the wings can cause a snowstorm in Alaska, the flapping of a butterfly's wings cause vibration in the air thus creating a snowstorm. Although it may not sound possible, small factors have also changed the climate so it is very possible that th flapping of thier wings may cause a snowstorm.
however it may take quiet a lot of butterflies to be able to achieve this result


answer:
The most effective way to for the robots to find gold, is to have them all search for gold over a relatively small piece of land. With more hands on deck it would be a faster and easier to find gold. Once there seems to be no more gold, the robots would mine in a different part of the land. that way the robots can communicate to each other also. Some rules for the robots are to make sure that they do not move away from the area and make sure to keep in the allocated area.


answer:
i recommend that we should reduce the amount of carbon being released into the air. Many people have been assuming that climate change is not real, although this might be the case, i recommend that we should reduce our fossil fuel burning just in case


answer:
I don't think that it is possible. This is because the amount of air a butterfly will displace is no where near enough to help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. The force exerted is not enough to travel that far. The displacement of air will be considerably less, and cannot affect a snowstorm in Alaska.


answer:
The robots should travel in groups. Each group should search in one part of the planet. This would make sure that the whole planet is searched and covered. This would also ensure that the robots do not have to communicate over long distances. If there are not enough groups to cover the entire planet, a few groups should cover more than one area, but making sure that they stay a group. The robots should also ahve sensors as to make sure that they don't fall into holes dug out by other robots.


answer:
I would recommend that factories should carefully monitor the amount of fossil fuels they burn. There should be a set amount, and if factories o over, they should pay a penalty. I also think that alternative energy sources should be investigated. This would mean that greener energy would reduce the amount of corbon dioxide going into the atmosphere.


answer:
no because it is too far away from located place and also the effect of the snowstorm is usually the result of weather patterns rather than just a butterfly flapping its wings triggering a snowstorm. It is unlikely that a butterfly flapping its wings would trigger a snowstorm because there are many butterflies and snowstorms occur less than the number of butterflies flapping their wings.


answer:
A better strategy is to be able to communicate with each other or leave a signal that will allow the robots to find the spot where a particular robot has found a place of gold so that the news t=can be spread and every other robot will come to help dig for the gold.


answer:
It would be best to reduce the fossil fuel burning to a minimum and more stable with the environment or find something which is able to replace the fossil fuels and not affect the rest of the environment.


answer:
It is not possible to help create a snowstorm in Alaska. If the jiggle of the air cannot even be felt on someone standing next to the butterfly, how is something 10000 miles away possible.


answer:
The robots should searching in lines, checking as a long line. If somehing is found, then the robots can communicate and send a message across the line. Then the robots can move in to the source and take more gold back to the ship.


answer:
I recommend complete annilation of brown energy usage- any energy comsumption that releases some form of harm to any life on Earth.


answer:
its this question again

this is probably not possible because that one butterfly is not the only butterfly to have existed on the tropical lands of brazil. there are other butterflies and other species of things with wings sich as birds and flies and mosquitoes. one butterfly being able to create a snowstorm just DOESNT MAKE SENSE

but then again the question says can HELP so in that case it might be possible but i do not know why.


answer:
1.have a lot of robots with scoops and a lot with buckets 
all robots should travel together until they find the mine of gold
the ones with scoops should dig and give the gold to those with buckets
those with buckets should travel together or at least in pairs to bring the gold back into the spaceship
the process repeats until the robots have milked dry the minerals and resources of the planet

2.just make two giant robots to travel together and dig out the gold in huge scoops

3. the robots should eat the gold and store it in their systems so they can become gold themselves




or maybe just not waste effort and time to assuage the endless pit of greed within the stomachs of humanity with contaminated gold from foreign land
what value does gold hold if it becomes an easily accessible mineral


answer:
why would the united nations committee hire someone who doesn't know anything

1. more people = more housing = environmentally harmful procedures to procure those resources to build houses = even more manmade things on nature = deforestation = not enough food = problems
 therefore people should adopt children instead of adding to the population.

2. no littering littering is bad

3. fossil fuel use leads to the heating of the earth therefore it should be reduced.

4. everyone should just live in villages again and fish and hunt for their own food 

5. grow more trees

6. make houses with bamboo??

7. build treehouses to live in :)

8. plant more flowers


answer:
The movement of air in the atmosphere is a very complicated cycle and if disturbed can produce various natural phenomenon. But, it seems highly improbable that a butterfly flapping it's wings can create a snowstorm anywhere in the world. It requires a suitalby large force to cause a considerable disurbance in the movement of air to achieve something close to a snowstorm. Wind is made when air rushes in to fill in the gap when hot air rises from the ground. There is a convection process as the air that has risen is cooled and comes back down above the ocean and is then pushed back onto land when the air there rises, creating a cycle. This is a fairly large cycle and if it can be interrupted by something as small as a butterfly flapping its wings, then there should be a lot of natural disasters happening in the world due to the movement of all the birds flapping their wings out there.


answer:
A device should be put in the robot so he will stop digging gold when he reaches a certain level. This is to prevent gold falling out of the bin because it is unable to carry anymore. A GPS should be implanted in the robot so he remembers the area he is currently digging in and also the location of the space ship. This will help it navigate to the spaceship to dump its load and then back to its digging site to completely deplete the amount of gold in that area.


answer:
I recommend that factories around the world need to be more careful to the amount of fossil fuels they are releasing into the atmosphere. This increase in the amount of carbon dioxide is contributing to the increasing amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which is likely to be the cause of the Earth warming up. Another recommendation would be that alternatives to the burning of fossil fuel needs to be investigated and used around the world to prevent factories from burning fossil fuel.


answer:
I still don't think it is possible. There needs to be more of a dynamic change for it to trigger something like a snowstorm, especially in another place.
If a snowstorm would be triggered, there has to be exaggerated changes in all aspects of the weather. If in Brazil the albedo rate is very high, and the wind speed has big changes, maybe it will spread to Alaska and become a global change because the changing conditions are so intense.
If it isn't a natural change caused by aspects of the weather,then it won't be able to spread globally.
But then again, global changes would have to happen first in order for the weather to spread around the world.


answer:
Maybe have groups of robots to make sure all the gold is taken out of one area, to make sure no bits of gold are missed.
There can also be underground tunnels, like underground trains, except many of them, and layered one on top of the other. They can run around the diameter of the planet, in many directions, and robots can travel in different carriages to avoid collision. They should be close enough together to make sure the robots can detect any of they close to it. This would make sure no gold is missed no matter how deep it is. Once they detect where all the gold is, they can then start digging from the top, and try to avoid the tunnels.
They should also be able to determine how much gold there is in one place, and if the other robot has too much gold to carry in its bucket.
It would probably best to have them be able to also detect the buckets and spaceship, to avoid confusion between gold still in the ground and gold already dug.


answer:
Each government should have to pay extra fees for how much fossil fuels their country used in relative to population. This will discourage them to use fossil fuels. The extra money could go towards to United Nations, sponsoring them to build eco friendly systems evenly around the world.
Trees should continually be planted to make sure there isnt too much carbon dioxide. Minerals in the earth should not be used and burned, or the price should be very high and expensve.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases emitted into the atmosphere. They can act as both good and bad components in our world. Greenhouse gases are one of the major factors of global warming, but also act as a blanket for out atmosphere, keeping our world at a stable temperature, instead of having high highs and deep lows in weather.


answer:
The carbon cycle is a cycle of feedback. It explains how carbon-dioxide will always stay in the atmosphere, in varying different forms. For example, trees breathe in carbon dioxide and so it is present in their system. However, in autumn and winter when trees lose their leaves, their fallen leaves emit carbon-dioxide back into the atmosphere. Therefore, we can prove that carbon-dioxide will always exist in our world and cannot disappear or reappear.


answer:
Weather and climate are two different things. Climate is the pattern of weather over a long period of time. For example, you can say that the climate of Australia is temperate, as it is in the temperate zone and is warm. Weather, however, is what we see outside our window at this present moment. So for example, at this very minute, when I glance outisde the window, the weather is overcast and windy. The main difference between climate and weather is that climate is the pattern of weather over a pronlonged period of time in a partiular place or zone, whilst weather is what is outside our window.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to some extent with the advanced and developed technology we have today. Satellite readings are definitely our main source of weather predicting material. It is possible to predict the weather for the next week or so, but as these are merely predictions, there is a high chance that these readings may not be correct. Weather changes all the time; it is not something that is controlled by mankind. Therefore, weather can be predicted to a certain extent, but these predictions are almost never 100% accurate.


answer:
As climate is the pattern of weather over a prolonged period of time, climate can be predicted much better than weather. Data is collected on weather over the years, and we are able to see the trends and patterns of a certain place. We are then able to predict, again to some extent, the climate for future years to come.
However, climate can also be changed suddenly and without warning. For example, if a drought were to pass through a certain state and last for 10 years, the climate for these ten years would be dry and hot, even though previuos climate was said to be wet and humid.


answer:
Feedback is a repetitive cycle in which one thing cannot happen unless others follow.
One example is when ants collect food. When an ant finds food, it brings it back to its nest. By doing so, the ant leaves a chemical trail from the food to the nest, which attracts more ants to the food source. They then bring food back to the nest as well, and repeatedly, the cycle continues. When the food source is depleted, forger ants then set out to find other sources of food, and when it is found, the cycle repeats again.


answer:
An example of dynamic equillibrium is the food chain and how they all are linked.
So when there are wolves, sheep and grass, wolves eat sheep, and sheep eat grass. Therefore, if a drought hits and grass supply is low, the sheep population will die out, and so will the wolves since they eat the sheep. It is all a linked chain. Similarly, if for whatever reason, the wolf population depletes, sheep will flourish for a while before they too decrease is population since the grass will have less time to replenish itself.


answer:
An example of emergent properties exist in birds flocking. Individually, birds have no characteristics or knowledge that tells them to flock together. However, it is naturally caused, and naturally, they create a shape and fly in the same direction. Therefore, emergent is when looking at a micro level, no pattern is shown, but when you look at it at a macro level, a distinct pattern is shown.


answer:
When an scientific error occurs ... ?
or when something bad is proven with scientific evidence ... ?
woops sorry.


answer:
I don't think it is stable because global warming is present in the world at this very moment. The world is warming up rapidly, and greenhouse gases and fossil fuels are also increaing in out atmosphere. The ozone layer has holes in it, which allows more sunlight rays and infrared light into our world, which will then, wam up our world further.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that make their way in the atmosphere and help retain some of the heat. Greenhouse gases are classified as important because of the fact that greenhouse gases ensure that the earth's temperature are warm enough to nurture human life. Without any greenhouse gases it would be virtually impossible for people to live on earth because of the fact tat the temperatures of earth would be too cold. Examples of greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide. Greenhouse gases are not only important but essential to human survival.


answer:
The carbon cycle is pretty much the way that carbon travels around the the earth. It follows how carbon becomes ocean carbon etc. The carbon cycle is important because it displays the fact that carbon the carbon cycle is a closed one so it provides scientists with the information that no human action can affect the amount of carbon in th atomsphere. The knbowledge of the carbon cycle also provides with the ability to conduct advanced researches on the topic of climate change.


answer:
Weather is the temperature of a particular place at a particular time. On the other hand climate is more of a representation of the different temperatures that are experienced at a particular place during a particular time period. Climate takes into account the highest and lowest temperatures that an area may be likely to experience. Temperatures and climate are two different factors of the climate system.


answer:
Weather can be predicted as meteorologists have new and improved facilities that assist with this task. Satellites amongst a variety of different objects allow scientists to predict weather. Weather is also affected by other different factors such as the types of clouds that are there, the wind direction, the location of the place etc. Keeping this information in mind meteorologists can provide people with accurate predictions of the weather. This does not mean to say that the predictions that meteorologists prvide us with are always absolutely correct but despite this the predctions are quite accurate.


answer:
No climate cannot be predicted as it takes into account the highest and lowest temperatures that may be experienced by a particular area. Although you can predict weather with the use of studying trends in the weather during different seasons, there is no way you can predict when a particular factor may cause a sudden change in temperatures. This is why climate can not be predicted with the use of any technological devices.


answer:
Feedback means an input of any component of the system in order to assist Examples of feedback in climate systems is the albeto affect as the suns rays provides something for the climate system to utilise. The albetos affect is the input of the sun to ensure that te suns radiation the  assists the climate systems in many other ways.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium technically means that there is an equal amount of factors in the environment. For example if there is a dynamic equilibrium in the climate system this solely means that all factors of the climate system are sustainable. If any kind of system at all is not in equilibrium this practically means that it is not a sustainable system.


answer:
Examples of emergent properties in climate


answer:
Tragedy of the commons in climate system refers to if how there beocmes an excess of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere then it becomes a tragedy of the commons.


answer:
Questions are rising on how potentially the global climate system is gradulaly becoming unstable. This is because humans are constantsly utilising fossil fuels that are increading the temperatures dramatically. This means that the excess fossil feuls in the global climate systems are damaging the equilibrium of the climate systme. This again goes on to show that potentially the climate systems are now becoming unstable.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases that surround the Earth's surface.  The solar rays sent out from the sun are reflected into the earth like the way a greenhouse works to heat up plants, it traps the heat in.  They're important because without them, the Earth would not be able to maintain a live-able environment.  The nights would be extremely cold because the heat from the sun in the daylight would not remain in the atmosphere, and in the daytime it would be extremely hot.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle of carbon dioxide particles travelling from around the air and around the in the oceans.  The particles move around based on the temperatures, which can be affected by burning fossil fuels.  The carbon cycle is important because it maintains a balance in the Earth's temperatures.


answer:
No, they are different.  Weather refers to a more of a short-term system of weather conditions ie. sunshine, rain, clouds, etc.  Climate refers to a more of a long-term system where it is a collection of cumulative 'weather' reports and shows a pattern or change.  Climate is also a broader subject that relates to the different living functional systems on earth including weather, habitats, living creatures, natural occurences, etc. Weather is a part of climate, but climate is not a part of weather.


answer:
Yes, it can be predicted by looking back at past weather reports to see certain changes or patterns that emerge in the temperature, and you can also read synoptic maps or weather charts that the satellite images provide.  People specifically trained to read these charts will be able to predict weather, and often as seen on news reports, they are correct to a certain degree.


answer:
Yes, it can.  By looking back at past reports of both weather and climate we can predict climate by looking at the pattersn and changes that occur/have occured in the past and try to apply these to the future.  It may not be entirely correct because there will be outliers that take an effect on the pattern of climate, and it just takes a natural occurence to affect the entire prediction.


answer:
Feedback in a climate system is the chain reaction of something occuring in a cycle.  Feedback is like a loop where something will always return to a certain point.


answer:
In a dynamic equilibrium, we have a closed system where something remains constant.  Eg. the amount of CO2 in the air will remain the same, you cannot add or subtract to the number there is in the world and it will only move around.


answer:
In a climate system, something that is emergent is a pattern, change or reaction from something that emerges without it being programmed to work.  It's just the way that nature works in some climate systems.


answer:
If this is referring to the 'tipping point' in something, it's when you reach a certain point and everything after that will 'spiral downhill', only it doesn't have to be in a negative way.  eg. once the density of the trees reached a certain point, the fire would definitely spread unto the other side of the screen.


answer:
Yes, as long as we remain to keep steady levels of fossil-fuel burning and we make good use of our resources, it will be stable.  The burning of fossil fuels evidently increases the temperature levels in the atmosphere, and if we increase the lever to a high level, the temperatures will increase dramatically.


answer:
A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and this can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. Although butterflies are small they can have a big impact on the earth. 

im not sure.


answer:
From my findings from the investigations and observations of the computer models I used in this unit I would recommend to reduce the number of coals burtna and to reduca the amount of carbon being made from factories.


answer:
This can be possible because of the currents and cycles that are continuously travelling in the air.


answer:
Sorry, I do not have any recommendations.


answer:
This is not possible. The only valid hypothesis is that the when a butterfly flaps its wings, the small mounts of wind will collect together, forming large winds which will cause a snowstorm. However, there is no data to prove wind can collect to become stronger. Also, there would be winds travelling in the opposite direction, which would disrupt this theory. This process has been researched previously and is named the butterfly effect.


answer:
If large deposits of gold are found, the most effective way to collect it is to allow each robot to be fairly cheap. These robots will be forever collecting gold, while a spaceship will travel to and from that planet, constantly collectin gold. When these robots are heavily broken, they can be left on the planet. Mechanical robots can do regular mainteneince. Lost robots will be abandoned, and all data will be transferred to Earth. If there are any needs not availiable on the planet, a 3D printing machine will print data of anything needed.


answer:
The recommendations I would make include reducing the output of CO2.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that are emitted from various activites from humans and also from the burning of the fossil fuels. They are important us as they trap heat from the sun's rays in order to keep the earth warm and suitable for inhabitation. Without greenhouse gases, humans and many other species of flora and fauna would not be able to thrive. But if there is a large increase of heat trapped by the greenhouse gases, the earth would start to warm up and the temperatures would rise, causing many species of flora and fauna to die.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the process of carbon circulating the atmosphere, oceans, trees and living organisms. It circulates throughout the biosphere. CO2 is added to the atmosphere through various causes, such as fossil fuel burning, deforestation and the death of living organisms. CO2 is distributed in a convection current due to the rising and falling of the warm and cold air in the atmosphere. Oceans and trees also absorbs the CO2 in the atmosphere and then releases it due to photosynthesis.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather is the temperature collected for a short amount of days where climate is the temperature collected and observed over a long period of time. Climate can be determined by the temperatures from weather over a period of time. Most of the time, climate stays the same unless there is an overall increase/decrease of the weather over the past few months. Global warming can be shown due to the rise of temperatures causing the climate of many regions to be hot and humid.


answer:
Weather can be predicted by various equipment such as weather balloons, satellites, etc. Weather predictions are not exactly accurate due to the various changes in the atmosphere and natural causes. Many sudden changes cannot be predicted a few days before the occurence of the event.


answer:
Climate can be predicted due the average of the temperature and weather occurences over a long period of time. As climate is observed over a long period of time, is easier to predict climate than weather. Sudden changes in the weather can be outliers when collecting data from the past few months.


answer:
There are many feedback in climate systems such as water feedback, albedo feedback, etc. The feedback in the climate systems may be positive or negative. Positive feedback can result into positive results in the biosphere. The biosphere would maintain a balanced amount of CO2 and many living organisms would thrive and wouldn't die out quickly due to the variations in temperature caused by the increase/decrease of CO2. Also positive feedback can result into tipping points. Negative feedback can result into negative results and consequences in the biosphere. Temperatures may vary a lot causing many flora and fauna to die out due to the intense climate, making it inhabitable for living organisms to live.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium in climate systems are through the results from the many models over the past days. The results from the models show a dynamic equilibrium as the results are constant and non-static. The results are also from a closed system.


answer:
The emergent properties in climate systems include water, living organisms, amount of CO2 in the biosphere, albedo rate. They are the properties in which the atmosphere which can cause many events due to the amount of it in the biosphere.


answer:
Examples of 'Tragedy of the commons' are the dramatic increase of temperatures (extreme) and natural disasters. They are caused by the increase/decrease of CO2 in the biosphere which results into the 'tragedy of commons'. Global warming is also an example of 'tragedy of the commons'.


answer:
The current global climate system is stable as there aren't any frequent dramatic changes in the biosphere. BUt due to global warming, the future global system might not be stable anymore due to the inbalance of CO2 in the biosphere.


answer:
my answers are short because they got deleted and i dont want to write everything in detail again so ill just summarise what i wrote




greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that keep the earth warm and are created by us. they are trapped in the atmosphere


answer:
the carbon cycle  is the cycle that refers to the transfer of carbon in the different spheres. they are in the sea, air and earth.


answer:
no climate is the long term fluctuations in our atmosphere and weather is short term


answer:
yes but its not accurate becasue we can never control the earth and it will alwats be diferent compared to what is predicted


answer:
feedback is something that naturally occurs in nature but isnt progamed into the system to occur
example when we are cold the brain tells the body to start shivering to realise we are cold


answer:
i dont exactly know but i tihnk its a pattern that happens as a result of somthing that occurs and its steady and keeps the same pattern


answer:
something that emerges as a result of something. i seriously dont know


answer:
sometging bad happening as a result of something else?


answer:
nope. because from what we humans do everyday, our earth will most likely heat up in the future. and it will keep getting hotter and hotter and hotter and hotterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.


answer:
I think it can't because i think the air waves that the butterfly sends out would be too miniscule to help a snowstorm. 
Maybe it could drive up a tiny bit of water vapour up but it would probably have a small chance to make it to alaska as it is really far away. THe water vapour woul dhave gone up anyway. 

So a butterfly might be able to but only help by a small percent.


answer:
They should start in a really long line split across into NOrth east south and west and then come, so that at least two robots can track down one robot. they should go down across the planet and have them scoop up the gold. The robots should go back to a big bin at the spaceship after 48 hours and then recharge. After a while if they have cleared the area they should walk for 48 hours and have the spaceship go there too. While walking they should be able to get more gold. After a while the spaceship will be full, and the robots should take as much as they can store and then go back. And then the robots should be able to come to earth and work as gold miners.


answer:
I think that United Nations should impose a rule to stop having so many power plants with carbon dioxide in it. Maybe if they have to they have to get rid of the carbon dioxide themselves like putting a big balloon on the power plant and then let it out of space.


answer:
This is called the butterfly effect and it provides an example as to how one small event can trigger a series of events that lead to a bigger catastrophy. theoterically, the example given by the butterfly effect is possible


answer:
Similar to the ant model...........
The robots could spread out from their position to forage for gold and alert the others, causing the other robots to flock to the found gold to ensure it gets collected quickly im really nto aawke enguh to answer thi s sorry just g oi ng to submit


answer:
the gases that keep the earth warm are the greenhouse gases. they are important because if the warmth isnt kept within the ozone to keep the earth warm, the earth's temperature would decrease and life would cease because it would be too cold.


answer:
the carbon cycle is the cycle of carbon going around- in all systems, for example, carbon + oxygen breathd in, carbon breathed out.


answer:
weather and climate are different.
although both are predictable within a certain amount of time, weather is to deal with the humidity, the clouds and the sun. 

climate is to deal with the earth and how the sun and cold affects the earth. the earth.


answer:
yes, weather can be predicted. to a certain extent, because of satellite pictures from outer space, monitering the earth and the clouds movement.

what else can be explained?


answer:
yes, due to the patterns that can be made from the past climate changes, patterns can be drawn out.
patterns can be extended, therefore predictions can be made.


answer:
the input and the output are the feedback.
input could be the uv rays, output can be infra red yes no okay


answer:
dynamic equilibrium in systems could be the carbon in the atmosphere and the carbon in the ocean. if there is an increase of carbon in the atmosphere, the carbon levels in the ocean will rise too, following the levels.


answer:
emergents are the unknown features which were not predicted in the system. they happen for no reason and impact the system.


answer:
the commons- the ocean water, and the air, where no country can claim because of the mobility of such commons.


answer:
no. according to media. im not up to date. sorry.


answer:
I do not think that a butterfly flapping its wings can jiggle the air and thus completely cause a snowstorm in Alaska. However, I do believe that there may be a minor contribution. Perhaps combined with other factors, a butterfuly flapping its wings may help cause a snowstorm in Alaska.
In the models we have seen this term, change one thing and everything changes with it, no matter how minor or major this change is.


answer:
- chemical trail
- cohesion, alignment, separation.


answer:
no. its pretty weird and stupid because its a butterfly. if tere is a butterfly that can flap its wings so hard it will the jiggle the air then thats pretty coo. but a butterfly will probably at most make  small breeze with its wings let alone cause a snowstorm in alaska which is on the other side of the world


answer:
or technology must be really advanced to do this really. 
what if what they dig up isnt gold biut dirt or some other element? 
they will kinda have to have really amazing sensors


answer:
do something to stop all the bad gases coming out of our factories and stuff
do something about our fossil fuel burning


answer:
The butterfly effect is rather unplausible as there is no direct connection between the two places. Air cannot be 'jiggled' and perhaps even a larger force would not be capable of causing a snowstorm on the other side of the world. However, by flapping its wings it may pay a very small contribution to developing a snowstorm.


answer:
The robots would have to be specifically programmed to actually collect the gold when they reach it or else there would be no point in sending them. They would also have to follow a set route or path to avoid wandering aimlessly all over the planet. This would also allow them to communicate better. The spaceship would then have to have the potential to carry all of the gold, considering the weight of the gold, back to earth.


answer:
Changing climate patterns on earth are a cause of concern as they will alter the equilibrium that we humans are currently comfortable with. Through investigations and observations of climate computer models, it can be concluded that increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are strongly linked to global warming. These levels of carbon dioxide are caused by activities such as fossil fuel burning. Thus being said, it is important that society is aware of this change and make an effort to lower carbon emissions by doing things from small tasks like using public transport rather than driving a car, to exploring and creating new strategies, such as alternative energies (windpower and solar energy), and laws that reduce these emissions.


answer:
G r e e n h o u s e  gases are the gases in the atmosphere so that when UV rays from the sun enter the Earth's atmosphere they will be trapped in, warming the Earth. Greenhouse gases are created from gases released into the atmosphere from aerosals, machines, air conditioners etc. Greenhouse gases prevent infrared light to go back into space, instead trapping the light inside the Earth's atmosphere so that the Earth is heated.


answer:
T h e   carbon cycle is the cycle where the gas, carbon dioxide


answer:
W e a t h e r  and climate are different. Weather can be predicted by using machines and technology so that people, for example, can decide what to bring on a trip, if a Monday is a good day for a wedding. Weather can be predicted for a while before the actual day. Weather is the temperature and the kind of day it will be- sunny, rainy, stormy etc. 
The weather is a factor that contributes to the climate. So, on the other hand, climate is not only about the weather but also about other factors including the amount of CO2, albedo and stuff.


answer:
A s  stated above, weather can be predicted by using machines and technology so that people, for example, can decide what to bring on a trip, if a Monday is a good day for a wedding. Weather can be predicted for a while before the actual day. Weather is the temperature and the kind of day it will be- sunny, rainy, stormy etc.


answer:
C l i m a t e ,  on the other hand, cannot be predicted as there are so many unpredictable factors that one needs to know. Things like the amount of carbon and the albedo affect are needed to know the climate. Climate can only be known at the time.


answer:
F e e d b a c k  is when a part of the system leaves a trace for others of the system so as to continue the system. In climate systems there are different kind of feedback. 
When something happens, for example, increasing the amount of albedo in the model, it affects the rest of the model because it is programmed to change one a thing changes.


answer:
D y n a m i c  equilibrium is when the amount of factors and the increase or decrease in factors affect the entire model.


answer:
E m e r g e n t  properties is when things, data, emerges from the system and the model.


answer:
T r a g e d y  of the commons is when the common factors of the sysytem end up failing.


answer:
N o .  Due to the amount of fossil fuels the things on our Earth produce our climate has become precariously dangerous some of the animals on our planet. Birds who think it is Spring (as the end of Winter is getting increasingly warm through the years) migrate early and face hardship as there is no food.


answer:
Maybe, even though it sounds a little far-fetched. If there are millions of butterflies in Brazil flapping their wings, then maybe it would contribute to something. However, one butterfly can't do much, so it would have to be a huge amount or migration or something. All systems are interconnected so it may have an effect.


answer:
Each robot should be designated a certain area, and each should be spread out evenly each with their own area to search and dig up. They should have a sensor to detect other robots in the area so they don't collide with each other when returning to the ship to empty out the gold. Each robot should have an efficient gold-finding technique installed, with many gadgets to find the most gold quickly and efficiently.


answer:
1. Have a small amount of fossil fuel burning as possible, and eventually don't need them at all(they're running out very quickly anyway)
2. Install renewable/conservative forms of creating energy all around the world/members in the United Nation e.g. hydraulic power, wind, solar, etc.
3. Have more plantations/plant more trees to restore forests - stop logging in areas that are vulnerable/should not be logged/affects ecosystems, etc.
4. Stop overfishing/poaching - have stricter laws/better monitoring systems/punishment (since animals help regulate ecosystems and therefore climate).
5. Have more effective/efficient methods for disposing of rubbish/use more recyclable materials for packaging, etc - landfill is filling up, more space would be needed, but this would make things worse. Rotting organic material release large amounts of methane gas, and other materials take thousands of years.
6. Have more water-efficient methods for everything - that way, water will be saved/conserved and less water-waste would be washed up streams, etc.


answer:
No.

The distance is too large. The scale of the event is too small. It is logistically and practically impossible for a butterfly in Brazil to cause a snowstorm in Alaska.


answer:
A sensor should be set so that the robots stay the maximum distance between eachother while still able to maintain communication. This will enable the robots to spread over the biggest distance possible at a time.


answer:
- Do something to regulate fossil fuels burning
- This is a problem that needs to be resolved by the powerful countries because it is they who have the biggest greenhouse gas emissions
- Put a cap on the maximum amount of emissions that should be emmited by each country
- Some form of punishment if countries exceeds cap
- Maybe they need to go to climate school and understand feedback, dynamic equilibrium and emergence
- Hold conferences but actually get work done at conferences instead of just arguing
- Maybe compromise your economic growth for a more sustainable future


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere (inc. carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour) that absorb infrared and re-radiate it back onto the earth. they also trap heat inside the earth's atmosphere, warming it up. like a greenhouse for plants.


answer:
The cycle of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and the land. it is breathed in by plants and released as oxygen whereas animals do the opposite. There is carbon in the ocean also. CO2 is a greenhouse gas and human activity disrupts the carbon cycle (e.g fossil fuel burning) and increases CO2 which warms up the earth.


answer:
Weather is the temporary state of a habitat inc. temperature, rainfall, humidity, wind etc. it includes extreme conditions (e.g storm)

Climate is the state of habitat over a long period of time (also inc. temperature, rainfall etc.)


answer:
Yes, we can use machines to predict it e.g detect cold and warm  fronts, high/low pressure systems, moisture in the air, events like EN56 (El Nino and La Nina)


answer:
Yes, by looking at graphs and charts you can locate the trends and predict if temperature will rise, drop etc.


answer:
There are positive and negative feedback- positive makes a change (A -> B -> A) and negative steps it and brings it back to an equilibrium (A-> B-> A) an example would be the ice caps and albedo -> the less  albedo, the more heat absorbed into the ocean, warms it up -> less ice -> less albedo -> more heat in ocean etc.
Another example is the water moisture -> high temp-> more water moisture ->higher temp etc.


answer:
The levels of CO2 , they are negative feedback and come back to a dynamic equilibrium -> it stops increasing and becomes stable, but a higher temperature than before. It is dynamic becuase it fluctuates and is not constant.


answer:
Properties that are introduced into a climate system (that weren't there before) e.g fossil fuel burning increasing CO2 and disrupting the carbon cycle.


answer:
No, because it is at a tipping point (where the positive feedback > negative feedback). The temperature keeps increasing and does not become stable and does not fall back into a dynamic equilibrium.


answer:
I think it is possible because every small choice triggers greta consequences, but it really depends.
A Butterfly flapping its wings does not seem significant at first (micro scale) as an individual but if you zoom out and look at the bigger picture (macro scale) combined with other things (e.g wind, temperature, humidity etc) a bigger pattern could emerge and thus trigger this snowstorm.
However it depends on a lot of other factors, what time of the year, temperature, wind speed/velocity , and a lot of other things were not specified in the question, hoe=w big is the butterfly (it could be the size of Brazil for all i know) are there other butterflies there and is this in the present day or future (the earth would look very different in 2 million years)
So, Yes i think it is possible but whether or not actually occurs depends on a whole range of factors.


answer:
Again, this depends on a lot of things. factors need to be taken into consideration, such as, how big is the planet? Do the robots have a limited walking distance due to fuel and if so does the combined range cover the whole surface of the planet? How much gold does that bin hold? how far can the sensors detect gold?
Generally however, assuming that the fuel is infinite etc robots should be deployed at one point on the planet then dispersed in every different direction ->
They should walk straight ahead and only leaving the straight line to get gold but only 1/2 distance of the distance between the robots (ie. if they are 6km apart (the robots) then each robot should only walk 3km to right and left). In the case that there is gold right in between (which would be not lively). the communication between them could work when they get nearer t each other and only one robot would continue whereas the other gold on the sides they would walk perpendicular to the straight line to ensure no part of the planet is missed.
However, sending robots straight to the planet to dig for gold would not be a very effective way, for it to be more effective, humans should male calculations of the planet and the gold beforehand. This could include the size of the planet, this could help in determining the number of robots used as fuel distance and also they should see which parts of the planet are the most abundant in gold and station more robots there -> which could save money.
However when you think about it, the likelihood of the situations is that the cost of building and sending thousands of robots on to t=another planet would outweigh the cost of the gold anyways, so it'd be a pointless expedition if looking for money and should be used for intergalactic exploration instead.


answer:
1. Carbon use from humans (e.g fossil fuel burning) should be limited -> or banned in the best situations. banned because it disrupt the natural carbon cycle. If increases CO2 in the atmosphere and the temperature of the earth, warming up the poles and melting ice, which brings me to my next points.

2. albedo depends on the amount of ice on the earth (more ice -> less albedo -> less temperature ) when ice melts albedo decreases and earth becomes warmer. This in turn makes more water -> so more sunlight is absorbed into the oceans, which speeds up the warming effect even further _> positive feedback.

3. CO2 increases greenhouse gases which traps the heat in the atmosphere
So basically limit CO2 if you want the climate system to become stable (equilibrium) and if you don't want the earth to reach 120 degree celsius in the future ->

- limit burning of fossil fuels (increases CO2), and other line deforestation
- refrain from using CFC's which pollute atmosphere (e.g some aerosols , Fridges)
- Decrease methane (cows, eat less meat)
- Limit water vapour 
- stop killing plants which convert CO2 to oxygen


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases trapped in the earth's surface and cause the surface to heat up. they are important because they affect the global climate and be a contributing factor to the global warming


answer:
they are different . weather is the temperature of a certain day while climate is the average temperature over a long period of time


answer:
yes, but it is hard to predict due to many changing factors affecting the outcome of it


answer:
yes. by observing past records of climate in particular places it is probably quite easy to predict by observing the trends


answer:
the amount of carbon in the atmosphere and the amount of carbon i the earth. the overall amount of carbons stays the same but the amount in the sky and in the ground mirror each other while keeping an overall constant amount. ex, if the amount of carbon in the atmosphere increases the amount of carbon in the ground will decrease , vice versa


answer:
when you at a single object , ex. birds , it appears they are just flying around randomly but when you observe the flock of birds you can see a pattern emerge.


answer:
no, the current global climate system seem to be getting warmer


answer:
no, it is a butterfly. it surely does not have the power to cause a snowstorm in Alaska. Unless it is a monstrous butterfly with abnormal powers like being able to cause snowstorms in Alaska


answer:
Let all the robots roam in a small confined area of the planet so that they are all within range to communicate with each other. If they can't find gold in that area and continue until they find gold. once one of them does find gold it should communicate to the other robots so they can all dig for the gold together and go back to the spaceship once their bins are full and empty them , then go back and collect more. And so on. Once all the gold has been found in that area they should restart the procedure in another area.


answer:
Green house gases are a combination of carbon dioxide and other gases that retain the Earth's heat. The more green house gas, the more heat reflected off and the less escaping from the atmosphere. They are important because it keeps the temperature constant, but big increases or decreases mean a change in temp.


answer:
The carbon cycle is where carbon is created, but cannot be destroyed. It transfers from the state to another from the atmosphere, land and oceans always cycling through the Earth in one form or another. It is important because too much carbon is bad and we need to keep it constant.


answer:
Weather is the change in the atmosphere over a short period of time where as climate is the change in the Earth's atmosphere over a long period of time. They are different.


answer:
Weather can be predicted because you are able to calculate the future through satellite whether patterns etc. However it can only be predicted a week in advance.


answer:
Climate can be predicted because it is based on past information collected, so scientist can assume the future climate from historical evidence.


answer:
Example of feedback in climate systems are:
-how dense bush is, affecting how fires can spread
-increasing albedo, affecting the atmosphere how much of heat & light are reflected and absorbed on the Earth


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium, consists of negative and positive feed back , examples of this in climate systems are:
-if grass doesn't grow fast enough for sheep to eat, they die out, and since there aren't enough sheep to eat, wolves die out


answer:
Yes, but not as stable as it can be. This is because there is a greatly increasing amount of carbon which would increase temperatures, pushing the planet Earth to the tipping point. Once we reach the tipping point, the global climate system would be unstable and out humanity's control. We are close to the tipping point.


answer:
Yes. Affects such as feedback, emergence and dynamic equilibrium would allow a butterfly in Brazil to cause a snowstorm in Alaska.


answer:
Other rules that the robots should be programmed to follow are to stay a certain distance away from the other robots, this will make them spread out so they will be able to cover the entire surface of the planet; the robots must also return to the spaceship once their gold-bin is full, so the gold is returned to earth rather than bein left on the distant planet.


answer:
I would recommend that in order to mantain some balance in the global climate system, each country would have to be given a set amount of carbon they are allowed to emit. The amount of carbon each country is allowed to emit could be increased in proportion to the number of excess trees planted in that country, and a country, for example Denmark, that uses a lot of renewable energy and thus has lower carbon emmissions could sell some of their quota of carbon emmissions to a country like China that uses a lot of non-renewable. Every ton over the limit that is emitted by a country would result in a fine to payed by that country, the proceeds of which would go towards climate research.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are important as they trap heat from light reflected off the earth.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the random distribution of CO2 through the atmosphere, oceans and living things/trees on land. The burning of fossil fuels though human activity contributes to the convection currents of CO2 in the atmosphere where hot and cold air rises and falls.


answer:
THey are different. Weather is the arth's conditions over a shorter period of time in a more local area whereas climate is the earth's conditions over a longer period of time, globally.


answer:
Climate can be predicted from past weather records all over the world to discover trends and patterns over the years and see events that could repeat in the future.


answer:
Feedback in climate systems include water and albedo feedback which are factors influencing results with certain processes like photosynthesis and the carbon cycle.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium includes the balanced distribution of CO2 in a closed system.


answer:
Emergent properties are results in data that stand out or show a trend such as a steady increase/ decrease.


answer:
Yes it is currently stable but in the future, some research shows global warming may be a problem with unstable distribution of CO2 in the atmosphere apparently caused by excessive fossil fuel usage.


answer:
i have already answered this question in the pre-test. my answer has not changed but i have been told i have to answer it again. here it goes:

Theoretically, the butterfly's wing movements could be enough the cause a domino effect - the wing movement creates a tiny amount of air movement, which contributes to the breeze blowing outside, which can now build into a strong wind, which feeds the global wind bands that wrap around the world, which creats abnormally strong winds in Alaska, which then creates a snowstorm due to the wild conditions. 

In real life, this would never happen. i answered this completely in the pre-test. again. my answer has not changed.


answer:
just like ants in a colony, they should have a way of communicating with each other over longer distances, such as a car horn. the robots could sound the horn and the other robots could have sound sensors! the louder the horn, the larger the amount of gold the robot has found.

on a serious note, the robots could use a trackng device to measure their precise location where the gold has been found and transmit to any robots in close proximity. when the robot travels back to base, it transmits this signal so that other, previously uncontactable robots can be sent to find the gold.


answer:
all countries should legislate a cap on the CO2 emmisions they are allowed to release based on population. they are only allowed to use sustainablly managed forests for timber, paper and other necessities, and big companies that use an excessive amount of fossil fuels for burning should have to contribute to the conservation of other resources to reduce their footprint and there should be practices put into place that forces these companies to limit their usage of fossil fuels, the level being reduced by a certain percentage every year.


answer:
No, but bascically the theory is stating that one variable, no matter how minute it is will have an effect on the other variable.


answer:
It should have a sensor to detect how much of the gold it has already dug out. The robots should also not dig in the same spot.


answer:
Our carbon output should be minimised to nothing or very little. We should also have a carbon tax on large companies and stop the use of coal or 'fracking' for 'natural gases'.


answer:
This is not possible as Brazil is located in the Southern hemisphere and Alaska is located in the Northern Hemisphere. The large amount of distance between the two locations is not possible for the cause. Also the air in Brazil is usually warm due to the climate there and Alaska has a different climate so it isnt possible for a snowstorm to occur in Alaska just by the force of a butterfly flapping its wings.


answer:
The condition of the robot should be concerned due to the gravity from space.
Also there should be protection from the solar flares.
Also the accuracy of the sensor to detect the gold should be kept in mind.
The amount of the scoop to dig the gold should be concerned.


answer:
People should use public transportation instead of cars, to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere which is causing global warming.
Also people should recycle and reuse many objects as the production of the materials is costly as well as bad for the environment. 
Plant more trees in order to keep and maintain the balance of CO2 in the atmosphere so there wouldn't be too much in the biosphere, causing temperatures to rise, and flora and fauna dying and oceans warming up.


answer:
In theory, a butterfly flapping it's wings in Brazil could possibly cause a snowstorm in Alaska, but this is not at all likely. We can follow the rule that everything in life effects, even slightly, evertything else which would allow something as ridiculous as this to happen. 
This flapping could cause a domino-like effect, snowballing (pardon the pun) in power to end up creating the snowstorm.
Although in reality this would be an extremely rare and untraceable occurence.


answer:
I believe we should program the robots to follow almost the same orders as the ant diagram, they should always remain within a certain distance of eachother, the furthest they can go without losing communication with another robot. This way they will be able to explore a large distance without getting lost. As well as this ammendment, everytime a robot finds gold he should send a message to all other robots as feedback, alerting them to the newly discovered gold spot. With these two new rules to follow the discovery of the gold should quicken and the entire process should become much more efficient.


answer:
First of all everyone can regonise that our planet is going downhill. We are routining our host and ignoring the effects, just because it won't effect us personally. For every section of land cleared we should replant seeds, creating a continuous cycle of reuse, instead of simply plowing through our forests. We should take action and completely ban the use of fossil fuels, there are so many other options and yet people are too lazy to take action. As a civilisation we have always preferred a comforting lie to a uncomfortable truth. Altogether we need to take time to heal our planet and the ozone layer if we wish to remain living here.


answer:
A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil cannot jiggle the air and thus cannot help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. A butterfly flapping its wings is cause by an entirely different phenomenon called air pressure. On the other hand a snow storm is caused by weather changes in the atmosphere. The climate solely affects the snowstorm occurence. All this proves the fact that notion and idea of butterfly wings flapping having caused the snowstorm is not possible.


answer:
SOme of the strategies that the robots must follow include the following - 
1. There should be a certain amount of weight that a particular robot can carry as excess weight may disfunction the robot. 
2. There should be robots that have been allocated at particular places of the planet.
3. The scoop should be quite hollow so that oit is successful in taking out large amounts of gold. 
4. The carrying bins should have lids on top in order to prevent the gold from falling out of the bins.
These are some of the strategies that should be employed in order to most succssfully take away the largest amounts of gold.


answer:
A carbon tax should be employed because not only does it provide money for the government but it will also be successful in decreasing the amounts of carbon that are wasted by human sannually. There should be a limited carbon footprint that is allowed for every person living in a particular location. This will give the government the ability to successfully govern the carbon footprints that are being left by every individual. This reccomendation has been initiated by the many climate change models as they show the neccesity of an equilibrium in the climate change systems.


answer:
Talking about this metaphorically, I guess the message it is trying to say is that a small effect and affect something in a larger scale. Which some what links to the effect that a small rise in temperatures  can cause icecaps to melt and perhaps animals to be migrating or feeding too early. (????)
Though if we take it literally, it does not seem possible that a butterfly causing the slightest movement in air particles in Brazil would cause a snowstorm in Alaska. I mean if it did, we would be hearing about thousands of snowstorms happening in Alaska.


answer:
The robots should first before digging should make a estimated circle for where to dig (within their programing not actually on the ground). This should be done by the robots using sensors to try to locate the places where they sense gold and where they don't. 
When the robot digs up the gold and finds that there is too much gold for it to carry it should return back to the ship but while it's doing that, the robot should use some sort of GPS system to track the path from the gold to the space ship. This GPS system should be on all robots and when a track appears, robots near the track should head towards the track and follow it. Just like the systems that bees use to find food.


answer:
The earth's temperatures are rising and we should try to find out exactly why. If the results do point towards Climate Change, they should find exactly what emmisions are making the rise. If it is man - made emmisions that affect the earth's temperatures then the United Nation committee should take the necesary steps to prevent it or try at least to stop what we've already done. (????????????????????????????????????)


answer:
If one examines the details of this theory, then it might be possible for butterflies flapping their wings to cause a snowstorm. However this is highly unlikely. If we look at the positive or negtive feedback effect, everything in a loop should cause another thing to happen, causing another thing to happen, and this should keep going in a loop. Even though in the theory is correct, the wings of butterflies, no matter how many there were, would not be strong enough to propel a large enough amount of air all the way to Alaska, and create a snowstorm.


answer:
I think that the robots should all have programmed the same set of rules or patterns in order to obtain the best possible results. Another rule should be that if one robot moves too far away from the others, they will turn around and return. The same should be if they get too close to another robot. This will keep the results being stable, and in a dynamic equilibrium. With every robot following a set of the same rules, the gold should be able to be found more quickly, which is what the humans want. The robots is in a cycle of positive feedback this way.


answer:
Every person in the world can make a small difference to the current downhill slope of the earth's climate. If humans somehow decreased the amount of fossil fuels being burned, the temperature would become more stable. We need to adjust our way of living to create a more dynamic equilibrium, for a more balanced environment. If the environment was balanced, the number of things dying would be the same as those being born, causing no net decrease or increase. In a perfect world, every living thing should follow a certain set of rules depending on who they were. This would create a more balanced climate for earth and also be more beneficial for future generations.


answer:
I accidentally clicked on something in my bookmarks when I was trying to move the tab somewhere else so I'll just summarise what I first wrote:
The force or energy the butterfly uses to flap its wings will cause a somewhat shift in the air immediately next to it, if only even slightly.  What happens is that if this effect was magnified, it would have a huge impact on the air even as far away as Alaska, and this effect that the power of flapping uses helps build up to the effect needed to buffet a snowstorm. So yes, I think that will be possible, since it shifts the air over just a tiny bit over the entire 'blanket' of air around the world.


answer:
I accidentally clicked on something in my bookmarks when I was trying to move the tab somewhere else so I'll just summarise what I first wrote:
I think that the most convenient and efficient way would be to have enough mini-robots to fill up the entire planet, spaced out in a way that they would all be close enough to each other that they can communicate to each other.  Although it would be quite costly and maybe unpractical, it is the most efficient way of getting together all the gold and at the end of the day it's probably fastest and has a higher guarantee of being successful.  They would remain in their original formations and then after they've all dug up the gold in that one spot they would rotate to dig in a second spot next to each other, the plan would be formulated beforehand and programmed into them so that they know what they're doing.


answer:
Find other forms of more environmentally-friendly energy usages/consumptionmethods because burning fossil fuels is not the way to go.  Out current resources such as coal and oil will run out someday and we desperately need an alternative.  High amounts of fossil-fuesl are not good for the environment and they affect the temperature, distorting the original temperature patterns because human-actionss are taking an effect on it.


answer:
No, it is not possible for a butterfly's wings flapping to cause a snowstorm. IF combined with other influences it could create a snowball effect with wind and changes in air pressure over time but not alone and definitely over a small amount of time.


answer:
The robots can search for gold in a large group while splitting off into smaller groups within small distances. A smaller group will form a line to the spaceship in order to pass the gold back. A line of robots will allow short distance communication.


answer:
The United Nations should continue researching the factors that may possibly contribute to global warming or negative climate change and monitor CO2 levels efficiently.


answer:
yes because through all the models we have done we can notice that if one varible is changed just slightly the whole system is effect. this butterfly effect theory explores this concept since the tiniest change in the air difference can start a chain reaction which may result in a snowstorm in alaska.
the difference in air current/ pressure a butterflies wings can cause may be amplified by like a ripple effect in pond. this may cause a low pressure system to form above alaska and cause a snowstorm


answer:
i would program the robots to use the same function/sytem ants use to find food. by programming the robots to leave chemical trails that allow other robots to be noified and follow the trail to bring back the gold. the chemical trail should have a medium diffusion rate since once all the gold is found in one spot then the robots wont need to continue to foolow the trail.


answer:
reduce carbon emission a per year 
and educate more students about the effects of climate change and how the climate works to promote less carbon emissions in the future


answer:
It is not possible for butterflies to cause snowstorms in another part of the world. If the butterflies were capable to having any sort of effect on the wind patterns, their power would be thwarted by greater forces such as the Coriolis effect.


answer:
So that the robots can effectively find the gold, the robots should travel in packs. This allows them to communicate with each other and helps them find more gold quickly.


answer:
We need to bring our fossil fuel usage down significantly. To do this, we need to look at eco friendly options for energy. Energy sources that could potentially be used include: solar energy, wind energy and hydro electricity.


answer:
no this is not possible, this so impossible.
that phrase that says 'nothing is impossible' is wrong, this is impossible
a butterfly is mini and a snow storm is massive. brazil is in south america and alaska is above north america.
a butterfly would flap its wings and cause a disturbance in the air over brazil and that is all that would happen, besides even if that butterfly was massive a disturbance in teh air would not make a snowstorm in alaska because snowstorm are not just made from disturbances in the air, the air must be cold, it needs to be windy and there needs to be enough water vapour in the air to freeze into snow.
therefore the butterfly would notcontribute to a snowstorm in alaska because movement of air doesn't even cause snowstorms, cold an dwindy conditions cause snowstorms.
this is not to say that whilst this butterfly jiggles its wings in the air over brazil a snowstorm will not occur in alaska, this just means tha tthe butterfly will not be the cause of the snowstorm.


answer:
the robots should do what the ants do, as in they should leave a trail when they find a big depsoit of gold that they  cant carry all by themselves and then the other robots will pick up that trail and add to the trail creating a feedback effect.
they should also have built in censors that detect gold (im assuming that there is unlimited technology)
meaning they should have massive rocket boosters just cos they can
and they should also have indestructable metal cos otherwise the suns rays and stuff would kill them
there spaceship should have built in hypospace (like in star wars) and it should have atomic guns and stuff to protect from alien attach, cos of course, the aliens will detect all the activity and then the aliens will want the gold so the robots will have to kill them with the atomic blasters and stuff, and the rocket boosters will help them dodge alein attachs.


answer:
we should totally adopt a green earth effect, and just in cause that doesn't work we should set up a colony on mars and moon thats near saturn or jupiter that make completely of ice (cos of course we need water)
we should stop burning fossil fuels as it has an adverse effect on the whole environment, we should also leave ants alone cos they clean up all the food rubbish that we inevitably leave behind.
we should also try to increase the earths albedo rate (by covering the earth with ice, yes its doable) cos that means that the erath warm sup less. we woulkd need to control this carefully though because this could turn into a feedback effect and then the world may be thrown into an ice age which would not be too good.
in general we just need to look after our earth because its our home and we dont really have anywhere else to go.


answer:
No. I do not believe that flutter of a butterfy's wings will not cause a storm thousands of kilometres away. 
  On the contrary, the saying may mean that a little movement, even a flutter of change in the system may affect the whole system or model at a larger scale at a different place. 
  For example if we change the speed of reproduction of wolves in the wolf-sheep model by only a few numbers the affect of wolf and sheep will differ drastically form before.


answer:
Obviously the few rules listed above are definitely not enough to pull off an experiment this large. The robots need to be programmed so that when humans are not able to communicate with them they will still be able to work. This may be advanced technology. 
   We would also need a spaceship that will be able to bring the robots back, with all the gold. It would have to be large enough for the thousand of robots and the (maybe) thousands of pieces of gold. 
   The robots should be programmed or communicated to cover a part of the planet so that different robots wouldn't have to look over the same land that other robots already have.


answer:
Recommendation for the climate policy, using all the observations I have used would be: 
   1. To inforce a law that fossil fuels should be limited 
   2. To be careful with our environment as it is delicate


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases floating in the atmosphere, such as CO2 , or water vapour. They are important as they help warm the earth. When the sun heats up on the earth, the heat is trapped by these greenhouse gases. Without these gases, the Earth would be at least 20C colder than it is today.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the movement of carbon in the atmosphere. An example is, when a carbon atom is released from a factory , technology, humans or animals, it floats in the atmosphere. Sometime, it will meet a plant and will be absorbed. An oxygen atom will be exchanged, and it will be converted back in to CO2 .


answer:
No, weather and li mate are different. Weather is a short term calculator of factors in the atmosphere, such as temperature, humidity, wind direction or high/low pressure. It also predicts whether it will be sunny, rainy or cloudy etc. on the other hand, li ate is a long term study of the same factors. Also, climate change has a larger impact than the change of weather , as the change of climate will affect or in the long term.


answer:
Yes, weather can be predicted. One way is to use weather balloons. This is done by releasing balloons into the atmosphere with sensors in them. Another way is to use satellites to predict weather, or large ships with sensitive sensors.


answer:
Yes, climate can be predicted. Climate can be predicted using old climate statistics. Also, if we can accurately calculate the Mount of outputting CO2 , albedo , c-oceans and other factors, we can predict the upcoming climate.


answer:
Examples of feedback in climate systems include the mount of CO2 ic-oceans , amount of trees, sheep and temperature. These are affected by other factors such as albedo, climate change and deep-on. All these factors affect each other like a chain.


answer:
Examples of dynamic equilibrium are usually CO2 a c-oceans. Dynamic equilibrium is when a certain feedback has a wide range of results, but a general trend is still visible. The amount of CO2and c - oceans change the most as there are many factors affecting them


answer:
Examples of emergent properties in climate systems include the amount of CO2 and c- oceans in the atmosphere.


answer:
The ' tragedy of commons' in climate systems include the amount of sheep and trees. This is because the many usually does not change.


answer:
The current global climate system is not stable. This is because the world is constantly changing. The amount of out. Puted CO2 and absorption of CO2 is changing.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that cause a greenhouse affect when released into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat that are reflected off the earth's surface and help keep the Earth warm. Examples include carbon and water vapour. Greenhouse gases are important because they affect the overall temperature of the earth and without these gases the earth would be unsuitable for any life to live on it.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the m cement of carbon around the Earth. Trees take carbon from the atmosphere and produce oxygen. When trees die and become fossils Nader the Earth's surface, the carbon inside the trees stay. When those fossil fuels are burnt , the carbon is released back into their. The carbon is important because carbon is a greenhouse affect.


answer:
Weather is the changes of the earth's climate over a short period of time, whereas climate is the weather experienced in. Certain area over a long period of time.


answer:
Weather frequently changes so iris hard to accurately pinpoint the weather but it ca be forecasted/ predicted


answer:
The climate over an area can be predicted, for in certain areas, certain types of climate is experienced. For example, countries near the equator can expect more humid and warm weather


answer:
Feedback in climate systems can include the input of the sun's rays and the output of ultraviolet rays radiating from the earth.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium can be seen with the differences and changes between the temperature of the earth and the amount of albedo. The changes seem parallel as the temperature responds to the changes in the atmospheres.


answer:
Emergent properties in climate systems can include the degree of water feedback.


answer:
The current global climate system is rather stable because there are no dramatic changes of the Earth's climate or the temperature.


answer:
It has been said that a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and this can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska  but I highly doubt that this is the case.
First of all, if such a small disturbance in the air such as butterfly flapping its wings can create a snowstorm, then what would an airplane cause? Even though they are in different places (Brazil and Alaska) I don't think it could cause a snowstorm. From what I know, what is need to create snowstorm is a large amount of water vapour, freezing cold temperatures and strong winds


answer:
The robots should cover areas in groups and in slow pace, therefore they can thoroughly check and by staying close they can communicate to other groups who may be closer to the spaceships so they can pass the message on over a long distance.


answer:
The amount of albedo and water vapour in the atmosphere should be constantly monitored and the amount of fossil fuels burnt should be controlled and reduce to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases produced.


answer:
Greenhouse gases keep the warmth of the earth trapped in the Earth's atmosphere when there is an excessive amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere the temperature rises and the earth will become less comfortable for humans  or any another species to live in.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the way that the carbon in the Earth's atmosphere interacts and the works. It is important because it helps regulate the temperature on earth.


answer:
They are different. Weather is short term (day + 0 day) and li ate is long term...


answer:
Yes, it can be predicted up to one week before the day being predicted.


answer:
No, not really, because it is long term to an extent, yes, if the weather patterns appear to be similar and recurring.


answer:
No, because of the inappropriate abuse of Earth's resources. Because of the ignorance that climate change is approached with, the Erath, an average is in reading in temperature by 1*c each year


answer:
No, I don't think so I believe this because of the massive distance between Brazil and Alaska, as well as the minuteness of the butterfly action.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases such oxygen and carbon dioxide which retain in the atmosphere. They are important as they the earth's temperature . Without these gases humans control would be living in a completely different atmosphere. It would be a lot colder


answer:
Weather is a short term observation of an environments conditions such temperature and humidity. Climate is based on weather conditions over a prolonged period of time.


answer:
Yes, weather can be perfected through observations of the earth's atmosphere such as lean currents and by the observation of El niÃ±a and El NiÃ±o


answer:
Ni, climate is dependent on weather over time and weather can only be predicted, accurately somewhat ahead of a month .


answer:
No it is not. Humans have been burning too much fossil fuels and releasing too much greenhouse gases causing disruption of the dynamic equilibrium .


answer:
This is not possible . The movement of a butterfly is too minute to cause a snowstorm in Alaska . Even so, development of a snowstorm is not dependent on the movement of animals or humans . 
The butterfly's movement is so small that it is absorbed by the air around it.the movement is irrelevant compared to the size of the Earth. Let alone the movement of a human. Normal human movement cannot cause natural disasters so as butterfly's certainly can not either.
The creation of snowstorm is dependent on a lot of other variables , and a butterfly's movement is irrelevant.


answer:
Firstly for this project to be financially efficient the cost of the development and maintenance of these robots must be smaller than the potential amount of gold found  on this distant planet.
 For the robot to be efficient, make the scoop ergonomic for the robot, ensuring it can work on all terrain it could also be larger to scoop larger amounts of gold. The carrying bin should also be made larger so less tris to and from the spaceships are needed as the bin will not get full as quickly.
Let the boot have the fastest software in order for it to more more quickly and detect gold more accurately and efficiently 
Also, lighter and more durable materials are needed for the robot to let t more swiftly and survive through the conditions of the distant planet.
Assign the robots to separate pats of the planet and creat virtual boundaries so the robots search through the whole continent and to ensure the robots do not search through already searched land.


answer:
1. limit the amount of fossil fuels being used.
2. Implement a carbon tax, despite many people being against it.
3. Plant more trees to absorb carbon dioxide. Reduce deforestation 
4. Protect the ozone layer by doing whatever is needed e.g ban CFC's
5. Promote Eco friendly living e.g Eco houses, cars.


answer:
Green house gases are gases in the earths' atmosphere that filter sunlight through to the earth and keep UV rays out.


answer:
the carbon cycle is how carbon produces on earth is being used  and recycled by other factors. This is important because and influx of carbon in the earth has the ability to affect the world as a whole.


answer:
weather and climate are different as weather is the measurement of condition such as temperature, humidity and air currents over a small period of time over a small area, but climate measures those conditions over a longer period of time as well as larger areas.


answer:
yes, to a certain extent with our current technology but as humans have have not progress to a point


answer:
yes also to an extent but as climate cover more broader range of statistics, it is somewhat easier to predict in  relation to weather


answer:
an example of dynamic between the carbon emitted by  equilibrium would be to balance between the carbon emitted by the oceans


answer:
No it is not stable, because as recent reports say, the temperature of the earth is rising, though subtly . which even now is having an impact in our environmental system


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that are in the earth's atmosphere that reflect and trap heat inside the earth. They are important as without them our world would be frozen and very cold as the insulate the heat


answer:
The carbon cycle is the constant cycle that is transforming of carbon onto one form to another, so it is transforming carbon stored into the earth to carbon dioxide. it mainly uses respiration and the photosynthesis to change it forms. it is important as we live in a close environment and it is important to keep a balance between the release and absorption rate


answer:
Weather and climate are different. 
Climate is the long term condition of a place which is like the average of the weather systems.
Weather changes from day today.


answer:
Weather can be predicted but only for the few weeks ahead. we can observe the patterns and current system and predict what is likely to develop in certain areas


answer:
Climate can be predicted by observing the gradual or sudden changes and what it will result overall e.g hotter weather or wilder storms.


answer:
The water feedback -> it is a positive feedback system in which warm air hold more water vapour which insulates  more heat which in turn allows the air cold more water vapour
The albedo effect -> the cold air produces ice which in turn allows heat absorpbtion which in turn produce colder air


answer:
Dynamic Equilibrium is the returning to the original state in a sudden way?


answer:
Emergent is when on the micro scale, a pattern is not seen but on the macro scale it can be seen
 The air and water currents though individual molecules may not be following the circular pattern overall way are travelling like that


answer:
No, Because climate non linear and we are on we verge of tipping point with the heat rising like so


answer:
In short yes, though the question raised is to what degree is a butterfly going to influence the snowstorm in Alaska? I believe the butterfly can affect the snowstorm to a certain degree, unlikely to have any effect on the metaphorical snowstorm.

One reason why the butterfly would not affect the snowstorm much would be the scale of the air the butterfly moves in relation to the air currents of the entire earth. The butterfly simply isn't big enough.

If the butterfly actually did manage to start an chain reactions , the entire cause of the snowstorm would not be attributed to the butterfly.

these two reasons are the main reasons why i have this opinion.


answer:
in order to collect all of the gold on the planet, several other strategy could be implemented.
the first being the robots should search  the planet section by section in order for all of the gold to be collected.

The next strategy would be to order the robots to stay within the communication range of each other . the third would be to make sure the robots should be able to deposit the collected gold somewhere  where it can be taken back to earth.
the fourth would be to have someway of repairing the robots if they need fixing.

these are some of the methods i would employ , but i also raise the ethical question of whether it is right to dig up the entire planet for the sake of harvesting shiny metals which happens to be valuable to a species far away from the said planet and if humans will be  responsible for the environment of this far away planet by cleaning up the mess we have now made by harvesting all of the gold.


answer:
As a member of the United Nations committee , these are the recommendations I would give based on my investigations and observations.

The first would be to investigate sustainable ways of harvesting energy to replace the means on how we are using finite resources for energy now.

Another would be to find a way to stop the thinning of the layer of albedo in the atmosphere.

a third proposal would be to make society more informed and aware of our current situation in terms of earths' climate. (ex. many have an exaggerated or downplayed view of what will happen in terms of the earths' future)


answer:
I do not believe that a butterfly flapping its wing in Brazil jiggling the air, can create a snow storm in Alaska. I think this is called the butterfly effect and it is a metaphoric meaning that small actions can have huge consequences, using the idea of emergence, on the macro scale, molecules don't like they're flowing in the same direction and pattern they seem random. but on the macro scale the pattern emerges. So one butterfly jiggling the air won't matter that much
Also to create such drastic changes in weather there are other factors to be considered like the amount of water vapour, temperature of the water , the land mass, the albedo effect not just air currents.


answer:
To efficiently find gold on the planet you must cover the whole area  of the planet with little or no overlaps . Assuming the gold is of reachable distant of each robot and that the planet is pretty flat, then going along the longitudes of the planet, then through pale two and back along their opposite longitude back to the original position.
The equator where they will be furthest apart the distance between their communicators and scanners is at their maximum.
then send the robots one by one for 180 degree one behind the other so all robots, except the first and last one will have at least two robots, signals in their communication radius by the time the first one arrives the last one should have jest left. Thus if any robot broke down the message could be relayed back to the pole 1 and would send another to retrieve and replace . it is also so the avoid crashes near poles. this ways each robot travels the same distance


answer:
Place carbon tax - making fossil fuels more expensive to obtain than renewable sources
Place a limit on the amount of carbon release in atmosphere
promote newer, renewable ways of living
    e.g eating insects/arthropods.
          insects take up less land area and money to produce 
          does not mind being squished together
          full of essential nutrients and healthy lipids
      Public transport
Inform the public and educate them of consequences
Invest in Climate change research all over the world
maybe invest in nuclear research for energy?


answer:
Greenhouse gases are a gas that can be created from human activities , for example, the burning of fossil fuels. These gases make the atmosphere of the earth more diverse making the heat within the earth harder to get out.


answer:
climate is the change of the earths' temperature over a long period of time while weather are the change of temperature over a short period of time


answer:
Feedback is when one variable changes another variable. but when the second variable is changed it affects the the first variable , An example is if many trees are c ut it affects the humans and animals . The change in the number of people and animals can affect the trees also


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium is when aspect of the a cycle is changed and it affects anoithe aspect of the cycle which keep it balanced


answer:
emergence is when one aspect of the cycle doesn't seem to be going in a pattern ,but when with all aspects of the cycle as a whole is moving in one direction. one example is the dust particle in the sky, one particle seems to be going in random  direction but the dust particle as a whole is going in a circular motion


answer:
the current global climate systems are not very stable as people are  not fully aware of the dangers of climate change and therefore are not changing their ways so that the climate system is stable


answer:
No , it is not possible for a flapping of a butterfly wings in Brazil to create a snowstorm in Alaska. Firstly snowstorm are not created by a butterfly ( they are caused by natural elements of the earth). in fact the flapping of butterfly's' wings are not even enough to create any sort of wind or snow not even human can cause snowstorm so therefore it is impossible for a butterfly to cause snowstorm.secondly, the butterfly is too far away from Alaska to cause any disaster.say that the butterfly in Brazil could create snowstorm, it could probably only affect the areas around Brazil. It would be highly impossible for a snowstorm in Brazil to reach the other side of the earth in Alaska.Thus the butterfly its wings in Brazil can not create a snowstorm all the way in Alaska. From the points , it is quite evident that a snowstorm in Alaska is not caused by the flapping of butterfly wings as they are too far away and not strong enough.


answer:
The robots should have a sensor to sense if the gold that they are attaining has any harmful substances that could harm the human race and the earth. If there are , they should either reject it nor clean the substance away. Another rule that robots should follow is not to take any living other than the gold as it could be dangerous.


answer:
Never cut trees without the governments' authority. reduce the burning of fossil fuels and enforce natural energy like solar and wind


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases emitted from the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and various other industrial activities. These gases moderate the earths temperature however recently, a global increase in greenhouse gases is causing the earth's temperature to increase and become warmer


answer:
The carbon cycle is the emitting of carbon into the atmosphere. None of this carbon can escape the atmosphere, thus creating a cycle. This is why the earth is beginning to warm as carbon is being trapped and cannot escape


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather describes the earth's state for example, sunny or rainy, while climate describes the earth's atmosphere in temperature, for example 31 degree C.


answer:
Weather can be predicted but not completely accurately. This is done with instrument at weather station which analyse patterns and gather information when may foreshadow tomorrows weather


answer:
Climate can also be predicted. By analysing graphs about the past weather and revert it back to ways of factor that affect weather, climate can somewhat be predicted


answer:
Positive feedback means that something creates something else, which further increases the amount of the first object. Foe example, the movement of hot air can create a fire but then the fire then further as to the increase of hot air


answer:
dynamic equilibrium means that one thing in a system as over powering another, It is called 'dynamic' because both of the processes involve are aren't constant


answer:
The current global Climate system is not stable. This is because the globe is continually rising to an unstable temperature. This is due to a wide range of human actions . if some of our current actions aren't stopped it will be a matter of years before the earth will; become so warm that it is inhabitable.


answer:
It is impossible for a butterfly in Brazil to jiggle the air and in turn, create a snowstorm in Alaska. Firstly a creature as miniscule as a butterfly is not powerful enough to create something as monstrous as a snowstorm. Butterflies do not produce enough air pressure simply by flapping their wings to create something as vicious as a snowstorm in fact they barely create any air pressure at all. Furthermore, the distance between Brazil and Alaska is too far and way to unrealistic . Snowstorms currently in alaska  simply do not occur because of animals rather because of atmospheric processes created by nature. however, theoretically speaking, it is possible for an enormous amount of butterflies to create a pressure  large enough to trigger a snowstorm, but just one butterfly will not be powerful enough


answer:
rules and strategies robots can follow include setting a restricted area  for them all to retrieve all the gold and then move to another area, rather than roaming around as some of the robots maybe trying to find gold in an area where it has already been found.  Having the robots in a restricted group also provides a higher chance for them to find all the gold. another advantage of having the robot close to each other is the fact they will be able to communicate and be able to alert one anther of problem. Also at the same time , split up the group to different sections of the planet. Because of different air pressures and surroundings on another planet, the robots shall be careful when transporting the gold into the bin and transferring the bins to the planes.


answer:
policies need to be implemented  restricting or minimising the use of fossil fuels and non-renewable resources . Other activities including machines in factories that can cause pollution should be restricted. This is because the temperature of the atmosphere is increasing at a dangerous rate. these warmer climate system are melting ice and therefore affecting the albedo system of the earth. hotter climate also means a higher frequency of fires , rising sea level means more land will be underwater by the matter of few years. therefore, there should be  a limiting amount of carbon each country is allowed to produce. renewable energy sources such as solar , geothermal power should be promoted to ensure the future survival of the population


answer:
Green house gases such as Co2 retain heat from the sun and keep it in the atmosphere. they are important because without them earth would not be able to retain as much heat. i.e. earth would have to be cooler. they are also important because if we have to much it can heat the earth causing global warming


answer:
the carbon cycle is where trees and vegetation convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, and when the leaves fall (or when it is destroyed) more carbon is released through the dead leaves that fall. It is important because burning fossil fuels release a huge amount of carbon dioxide as they are made from millenia old dead vegetation


answer:
weather is the forecast for a short amount of time (a week) for example, rain, wind, cloud cover, humidity , etc. Climate  is the state or behavior  of such things over long period of time and is more permanent and less dynamic


answer:
yes, it can be predicted, but not to exact and precise terms. It is possible to gather info from previous climate cycles, satellite imaging, weather mapping, etc.


answer:
yes to a certain extent . if trends and patterns are obvious then the general outcome can be predicted with reliable scientific reasoning and evidence. Even though prediction are not extremely precise, the general direction is accurate


answer:
Positive feedback- Negative feedback
for example an inevitable increase in temperature that will cause and affect other aspect causing it to rise further. An example was the water model with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere , high albedo and increased water effect , the temperature rose dramatically causing a tipping point


answer:
where the release and absorption of suns' rays are equal and undisturbed by other aspects (ex water effect, C02 and albedo)


answer:
I think it is where there are sudden increases in the temperature amount of C02 in the atmosphere and ocean , etc... They occur probably as a result of extreme positive feedback or a tipping point


answer:
I think it is where there is an inevitable dramatic increase or decrease in some aspect


answer:
No because our current use of resources is not sustainable , having effects on our climate . The excessive use of fossil fuels causes sun rays to be trapped causing the earth an sea to warm up. destroying some of the albedo as melting ice, increasing water vapor effect, etc. it is a cause and effect sequence, this inevitable changes earths climate


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gas form of chemicals like carbon which float in the atmosphere. They are important because they can greatly affect the temperature of the earth as they trap infrared rays inside the atmosphere and therefore heat up the earth


answer:
The carbon cycle is the different forms of carbon in our world which affect the climate, such as carbon in the atmosphere (gas), carbon stored in tress (photosynthesis) or carbon fossilised floral fauna (coal). This cycle is complex and each element is dependent on each other. This affects the amount of carbon in the atmosphere and therefore the temperature/climate, so it is important.


answer:
They are different,

Climate = average conditions foe an area over an extended period of time

Weather = short term conditions of an area


answer:
To an extent , yes, by tracking the movements of low/high pressure systems and warm/cold fronts


answer:
Yes , by using past data and also taking into account the El Nino Southern Oscillation, it is possible to predict climate


answer:
Positive Feedback = the cycle is seemingly infinite as the different components of each grow/respond to each other

Negative Feedback = the cycle has a tipping point as it moves towards an equilibrium. There is a difference in the components of the cycle so it aims to become equal (?)


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium is when, in a feedback cycle. the cycle aims to reduce the difference to 0 (?)


answer:
The land heats up faster than the sea, which causes a conviction current to emerge.


answer:
No, because with our carbon emissions we are creating a positive feedback system which moves away from an equilibrium, eventually resulting in extremely high temperature and a generally inhabitable environment


answer:
I do not think that this is entirely impossible, in fact, i think it is more possible that not.
 The butterfly does not create the snowstorm , it helps , air is constantly moving currents and patterns and possibly disturbing these can cause changes.

Maybe the butterfly's' flap combined with other small elements , wind currents can carry the air mass to Alaska and potentially cause snowstorm. All in all , when butterfly flies , it displaces air and from there many things are possible, therefore, this theory could be true


answer:
- they could travel in small groups so communication is better or be evenly spaced out in large numbers just so communication is possible.when they detect a deposit whether large or small, it should be mapped and recorded before taking any action. when extracting the gold from the reserve, they can communicate and several robots should work on the reserve. also it should be thorough so they don't have to return to the deposit.
-There should be a system where once a group of robots has their bins full they return and another group fills their place in a system. They should be close enough to still communicate even simple messages
- there could also be a system where the gold found is passed along a chain of robots to the ship
-depending on the size of the reserve, a lot of robots working on one would be faster and more thorough


answer:
A lot of aspects of our climate are changed or amplified when carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, Thus this is where humans can start as it is the main cause of the climate change.

Firstly, more people should be educated about all the different aspects of what would change earths climate. The public should be aware why we are putting restrictions and the benefit that it would make
Burning fossil fuels can inevitably increase the temperature , setting all other aspects that can increase the effect. for example, raised temperature means ice is melted (less albedo)species that depend on climate patterns die (trees can die) the water level water could increase, etc.
We can place restrictions on mining coal and burning it. introduce and build facilities  for sustainable energy , eliminating the use of fossil fuels. There should be heavier restrictions on countries that burn more. there could be car restrictions, introduction of hybrid electrical cars or public transport


answer:
greenhouse gases are produce via the burning of fossil fuels and other fuels. They are important as they keep the earth warm enough to sustain life. without them , the earth would be about 20 degrees colder.


answer:
the carbon cycle is a closed system and refers to where and in what form carbon is stored in. It is important as too much carbon being released in the atmosphere would cause the earth to heat up


answer:
weather is different to climate as climate is what we expect from previous common weather conditions, whilst weather is what actually happens


answer:
Weather can be predicted as we monitor the weather condition of areas around us and look for any similarities with the weather we receive over a span of few days. for example, Sydney usually experiences similar weather conditions the one the Perth experience three years ago


answer:
climate can be predicted as it is an average of common weather conditions and if weather can be predicted so can climate


answer:
Negative feedback is where the input of things affecting the climate is similar to the output of results , thus having a stable linear progression


answer:
Tomatoes are an example because i have no clue. they look words..
Emergent properties are patterns that become visible in climate system


answer:
tragedy of commons is where no nations wish to take responsibility of pollution and negative changes in climate in the oceans and seas


answer:
No because the effect of input is becoming less than the effect of output


answer:
The input could potentially cause a greater effect on the output, thus resulting in a butterfly causing snowstorm. In Brazil, a butterfly could flap its wings and jiggle the air and thus help cause a snowstorm in Alaska


answer:
In order to find all the gold in the planet, the robots could go out in groups of two (couples) and ones the robot finds some gold, the other one would return to the group and then they will all follow and help collect the gold. these groups would consist of about 50-80 robots and abase camp would need to be set-up in order to return the gold to. Similar to an army, there would be several battalions situated in different areas of the planet and they would have two weeks to scour their respective areas and if the land lacked gold they would move on. This procedure would be programmed into their software and once no more gold could be detected , they would return home with their loot


answer:
In order to fix climate change, we must develop a new disease that will spread quickly and take its victims painlessly. This is needed to improve the climate as humans are slowly destroying this planet. However, this destruction is making and greater progress, therefore we must obliterate the cause of the problem which are humans. by ridding the world of human life, we are dramatically reducing the chance of murdering numerous other innocent species. Humans are losing respect to the environment and are therefore destroying it for their own benefit. To go back to the cave men times would be beneficial , however, we have become far too intelligent and conceited and therefore should be eliminated by plague


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases produced into the atmosphere because solar radiation heats up the earth reflecting infra red lights. some lights remain within the earths atmosphere up most reflect out into space. without these gases the temperature of the earth will not prosper


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle which is made up of carbon dioxide trapped inside the fossils at trees for hundreds and thousands of year. people dig up this fossil to produce energy. This is then releases extra carbon gases which were trapped in the fossils


answer:
weather and climate is different. weather is the amount of wind blown or weather there is precipitation , etc. while climate is the overall recording of the atmospheric patterns of  temperature rising and falling therefore changing the earths forestation or vegetation


answer:
weather is able to predicted for a period of 2 weeks or so because we have acquire the technology that is able to keep track of the the movement of the wind and air pressure. But because wind direction change frequently and non-linearly there is a limit on how accurate it is.


answer:
climate can be predicted as well. we can justify this through climate models that keep track of the balance of carbon gases emitted or how much fossil fuel is used up per year or the forestation and agricultural life. by keeping track of the several elements you can predict and see a clear visual pattern of the climate (infra-red radiation)


answer:
Equilibrium........sorry i have a general idea but it is not clear enough for me to understand


answer:
The current global climate system is not stable since the fossil fuels we burn and the carbon that is emitted is overwhelming for the earths atmosphere. this means that more infra red radiation is being captured within the atmosphere heating up the earth rapidly


answer:
A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can not jiggle the air and thus help cause snowstorm in Alaska. this is because of the air movement that a butterfly creates is far too small and minor . maybe if thousands of butterflies were to flap their wings and create a small force of air.


answer:
-robots hould be allocated certain areas to look for gold so that the other robots don't waste time looking for gold in the same area.
-it would be kind of like looking , digging for coal and other fossil fuels, so follow and adopt the efficiency of the coal mines
Sorry i don't really know what this has got to do with climate change.


answer:
- reduce fossil fuel burning, find another source of energy
-reduce carbon emissions
-place a monitor per family or individual and minimize the amount of carbon footprint per person ( by exception by government with cause)
-plant more trees, focus on regrowth of vegetation


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases in the atmosphere which trap heat , helping keep the earths temperature relatively stable.


answer:
carbon cycle is how the UV rays penetrate and reflect off the earth, some of which are trapped from the greenhouse gases


answer:
weather is how conditions are for upto a week in advance , climate is the overall general weather , conditions from a prolonged period of time


answer:
yes up to a week in advance . But they can never be 100% accurate because it is very changeable


answer:
yes, it is what the general weather is throughout the year which will repeat itself


answer:
feedback is how one or more variable affect the climate systems. for example, burning more fossil fuel will increase the greenhouse gases , warming up the earth and oceans causing more rainfall and so fort


answer:
dynamic equilibrium is the state of stability in a climate system


answer:
emergent properties are the factors which affect climate systems


answer:
it is how the factors can be abnormally increased or decreased, causing a prominent imbalance


answer:
No because the relentless burning of fossil fuels continue to affect the climate systems which will continue to create anomalies in the global climate


answer:
A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and cause a snowstorm in Alaska. this is possible because small factors can altered can cause s huge impact. for example, the burning of fossil fuels for a short period of time increases the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, thickening the layer of greenhouse gases. This warms the earth and the seas which make more rainfall, melting the polar ice caps, creating floods, and destroying the earth. We see from this that even small events are irreversible and cause an impact


answer:
the robots should be distributed evenly across the planet so they can find gold throughout the planet, not just in one area. there should also be a program to replace the planet's earth  after it has been dug up to minimize damage. the robots should also be attached in some ways such as a string to the spaceship so they can return safely with the gold, along with the a sensor for the gold, there should also be something to attract the robots to the gold, like a magnet


answer:
If conditions continue in this way, there is surely no future for our planet. we must put in measures for renewable sources of energy such as wind, solar and hydro because the level of carbon dioxide we are increasing in the air will take along time to recover if ever. this is why we need to resolve things now before it is too late


answer:
No, because the wings of a butterfly are too small in scale to cause such major snowstorm.
The butterfly's wings will cause movement in the air particles , but this movement will be microscopic and will eventually die out. It will not be strong enough to even move a piece of confetti.
Furthermore, if this theory were true, wouldn't there be a snowstorm every time a butterfly flapped its wings? Yet, we see hardly any snowstorm therefore the answer to this question is NO.


answer:
PLAN:
- rebury soil
- keep close to maintain comms


In order to maintain the integrity of the planet and its topsoil, the robots should be cautious when digging so as to prevent the unnecessary disturbance of the topsoil

They should also not exceed a certain distance of each other to maintain the communication channels.

They can also create a network of underground tunnels so they can navigate through the planet more quickly , access more gold and also avoid disturbing the surface.


answer:
- Use environmentally sustainable means of retrieving energy/electricity (e.g hydro electricity, wind farms, solar electricity) so as to cut down on carbon emission.

_Use natural gas (?) instead of methane or wood to burn in fires (in domestic fireplace)

- use electric cars/bicycles for transport

- put restrictions and heavier taxes on fuel, coal etc


answer:
greenhouse gases are gases such as carbon dioxide and methane  that are in the earth's atmosphere. They are important for they help form our ozone layer keeping or letting out heat from the sun


answer:
Carbon cycle is the recycling of carbon atoms which can be found in animals and plants - basically all living things are based on the carbon atom. The changing state (solid, liquid, gas) of the carbon creates the cycle


answer:
They are different. Weather comes in the form of rain, wind etc and can cause the wearing away of rocks and topsoil. Climate is temperature etc and can be measured


answer:
Weather can be predicted up to 1 week but it can still change. Forecasters can see how clouds are moving from satellite so they can predict its destination and what it will bring. (also pressure systems which are measured help predict were clouds are going)


answer:
climate can be predicted according to the weather


answer:
the carbon cycle, no carbon atoms can actually be destroyed or escape from the cycle therefore its a closed cycle


answer:
No. Global warming is causing a lot of problems in the world. The ice caps melting causes sea levels to rise displacing people who live on low land coastal areas. Food chains are deteriorating since animals hatching/birth time aren't aligned as they used to be, meaning the starvation and unefficient reproduction of other animals or the over population of some species.


answer:
a butterfly flapping its wings may cause winds but this wind is not strong enough to cause disaster plus snowstorm are caused by cool winds blowing due to the changing pressure in pressure systems. These stronger winds pick up strength as the move through different areas . Therefore a butterfly flapping its wings CANNOT start snowstorms due to the fact that snowstorms require naturally occurring strong winds.


answer:
For the detection of gold on this planet to be the most effective, we should set up large bases with stronger communications (life  wifi or home zone) so the robots can communicate better. Bases should should be set up so ranges are all covered. bases should also have sensors to detect gold so that robots are giving double detecting. Plus each robot should be assigned an area to concentrate on so gold can be found more efficiently


answer:
Control pollution that goes up into the atmosphere so we can control the albedo rate (controlling fossil fuel burning)


answer:
greenhouse gases are gases that retain the heat, and trapping some of the heat from escaping into space. they are like a blanket and are formed from gases such as C02 methane and water vapor. they are important because without them the earth would be colder to the point of in-habitability in most areas


answer:
when animals breath out carbon dioxide and trees use the carbon dioxide to form oxygen. important to maintain the carbon dioxide levels and keep them relatively stable


answer:
different.
weather is the short term measurement of temperature, winds, cloud cover, rain, etc. climate is the long term general weather of an area average out.


answer:
yes, but not very accurately. Scientist can predict the direction of wind and therefore where clouds are likely to from. They can predict the temperature quite accurately however, some of their predictions are incorrect as the wind patters are unpredictable


answer:
yes to an extent.heat waves can be predicted months before though not explicit dates


answer:
negative and positive feedback

negative-
positive- the temperature rises due to the water feedback


answer:
the temperature of the earth and the amount of C02 in the atmosphere, The amount of C02 changes the temperature


answer:
No. fossil fuels are polluting the earth. making the temperature rise steadily. even a small change in temperature will affect humans and animals and the environment


answer:
yes, it is possible. a butterfly can trigger a small wind that can develop into a large one. The wind pattern can move towards Alaska gathering wind speed. This is very unlikely.


answer:
-making sure the robots do not search an area that has already been search. Use of beans..
-good communication
-try not to break anything
-do not pollute the planet, don;t leave anything behind


answer:
the albedo effect shows how temperature decreases as less heat is absorbed into the ocean. how fossil fuels dramatically increase the C02 in the atmosphere therefore increasing the temperature of earth. the more cloud cover the less heat hits the ground


answer:
greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere which are emitted from earth, such as CFC's. These gases are released from cars and burning of coal for electricity and is causing global warming. They are important because global warming, we need to be aware of the change we are doing


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle of carbon throughout the atmosphere. The carbon is emitted from us humans and animals, and the trees take in the carbon, Therefore there is an equal balance. But it is important because we have been cutting down trees and increasing our carbon level with gas from cars and coal factories, this is leading to an inequal balance and the greenhouse effect...


answer:
weather is the measure of things over a short period of time e.g rain, sun, snow
Climate is the measure over a long period of time e.g  drought, tornadoes


answer:
Weather can be predicted around 4-5 days ahead. but these readings may not always be accurate. People use specific equipment to measure the weather


answer:
climate may be predictable if seen in a cycle. Australia is predicted to be entering $ years of drought, in the El Nino cycle?


answer:
Feedback in climate systems is when there is a cycle


answer:
examples of dynamic equilibrium in climate system are..


answer:
Emergent properties in climate systems are..


answer:
Examples of 'tragedy of the commons' in climate system are..


answer:
The current global climate system is not stable because the greenhouse effect is warming up the earth quickly, lakes are drying up, snow is disappearing off mountains, spring is coming up early , the ice is melting and island are sinking


answer:
I am not sure whether it is possible or not, apparently this phrase 'a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil, it will cause a snowstorm in Alaska' is a metaphor for saying a small event can cause a much bigger event


answer:
Depends how big the planet is program each robot to map a certain part of the planet and then complete each part. after the robots have all mapped out their parts, each section can be cleared at gold with the help of the other robot. now earth will be rich! robots don't get tired, but their batteries may run out?


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that traps the reflected heat off the earth in the atmosphere to keep the earth sustainable for life. it is important as without these essential gases/water vapor life would not be sustainable on earth. when they is too much in the atmosphere this poses a problem for us as humans as the earth becomes warmer and warmer


answer:
the carbon cycle is the cycle in which the carbon goes around . Trees produced oxygen and take in carbon.sheep/cattle release C02 , trees are burnt (fossil fuels) and the stored C02  is released back into the atmosphere


answer:
they are different. Weather- short term state of a particular region including rainfall, wind , temperature, etc. Climate- long term state , can refer to a state, country or globally has profound impacts on how we can live our lives. includes droughts and flooding,  etc.


answer:
yes it can be but to a certain extent. weather , since it is short term , it may be unpredictable and prone to change quickly. Scientist have ways of measuring such weather.


answer:
yes, more so than weather because it is long term and is more stable. Using such systems like La nina or El nino or the air  currents we can have an accurate measures of the climate and roughly what it will be like in the next years.


answer:
positive-when fossil fuels are burnt , C02 are C02 in the air, trapping more sunlight heat and causing more ice to melt. This in turn means more heat is absorbed by the ocean that being reflected off the ice. Therefore, it is just a steady increase.

negative- when it comes back to an equilibrium , ex, albedo so it is stable and not increasing


answer:
dynamic equilibrium is when there are inputs and outputs to the climate system. It is dynamic as it is not stationary parts are moving in a system.


answer:
No it is increasing unstable as the C02 and greenhouse  gases increase causing something called global warming. Global warming is quite detrimental to our earth as climate change is affecting various areas of peoples lives.


answer:
They are gases which are created to warm the atmosphere. It is important that the atmosphere is warm for the living species.


answer:
it is the cycle of the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, oceans and earth. It;s affected by the fossil fuels. It's important for the carbon to form a cycle


answer:
Different. Weather is the short term condition. climate is the long term condition.


answer:
Yes, weather forecast can show weather predicted using technology


answer:
No, the technology cannot predict long term conditions


answer:
the feedback of sun rays in the atmosphere and on earth and oceans


answer:
Use of release rate to create equal proportions of amounts of carbon in the atmosphere and in the oceans..


answer:
No, fossil fuels and man made systems affect it


answer:
rules /strategies

- go in small groups tp communicate with each other ..this way they can cover small areas by splitting up the planets surface
-once in group , split up into individual robots but keep within the range of distance from communicating
-don't let any robot go off by itself looking for gold, this may cause confusion and isolation of one robot who may not be able to communicate with others
-once they have got the gold, set a meeting place to deposit gold this way they won't have to leave gold behind as they are carrying bins  can only hold certain amount
-use teamwork to help each other , track where  the gold is, eg, if the gold is out of range for 1 robot another one can direct it using its sensors
-if one robot has his hands full, use his communication to ask another robot to come over and help him carry the gold
-program them to go to different areas , so that a group of robots won't cover the same area that another group of  robots has searched.


answer:
- reduce consumption of fossil fuels
-stable the world population as we all use material that contributes  to the climate change
-make everyone go vegetarian, less cattle that produces methane
-plant more trees , takes in C02 , keep the level more stable
-make a policy ( carbon tax or something similar) that will limit greenhouse gases in our atmosphere increasing this way there will be higher albedo, ratio of the amount  reflected to the amount absorbed  by the sea , and thus a lower overall temperature.


answer:
This is not possible due to the minute force of the flaps of the butterfly's wings. This force cannot create a huge impact of a snowstorm

Brazil is also very far from Alaska, thus the power of one butterfly cannot affect Alaska. the force stops before reaching Alaska


answer:
The robots need a sensor which senses where the spaceship is , so that they can carry the gold back to the spaceship. They need to know when the carrying bin is full and a sensor to sense the unfinished place that it has dug before

The robots should form a pattern when searching for gold to effectively ensure they find all the gold on the planet.

The robots should be in groups so they can work together. However, the groups should all have a specific area to cover, ensuring effectiveness and efficiency.


answer:
I recommend that fossil fuel burning are controlled, not to disrupt the balance of carbon in the carbon cycle. we need to ensure the albedo is the right thickness so that sun rays are reflected back to space and absorbed into earth's atmosphere as well. This can ensure there is a decreased global warming. Global warming can affect the earth's climate causing ice caps to melt and the oceans to dry up. This has serious impacts on animals and water used for irrigation. It in turn affects housing and farms. Food/crops are affected, causing impacts on industries. we should maintain a dynamic equilibrium in climate systems. There should be a balance of trees, livestock and fossil fuels in climate systems to ensure good climates and weather


answer:
Greenhouse gases are certain gases in out atmosphere which filter excess UV light and trap heat to warm the earth. The absence of these gases would mean that the earth would not be able to heat up to certain temperature which can sustain plants, animals, us and other living organisms.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle of carbon in our environment. this includes ocean absorption respiration. IDK. maybe because it balances the amount of CO2 in the air


answer:
Weather is the term used to describe atmosphere conditions in a small period of time. Climate in the term used to describe atmospheric conditions and patterns in prolonged period of time. There no, they are completely different terms.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to some extent however due to the instability of air masses it is difficult to accurately describe what conditions are likely to occur in the future in a fixed amount of time. However certain trends and patterns in data can be collected by advanced forecasting technolgy


answer:
climate, like weather, can be predicted to some extent. Due to the fact that climate is long term, it can make it easier to identify recurring events and when they occur such as high pressure systems, el nino or el nina phenomenon, with the aid of advanced technology, climate can be predicted to some extent by looking at recurring trends.


answer:
One example of feedback is the albedo effect and water effect. Albedo refers to the proportion of sunlight reflected from the surface of the ice. The albedo controls the amount of heat absorbed and radiated into space. The water effect refers to emission of water vapour due to high temperatures. the water vapour is a form of feedback.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium example is when the oceanic absorption rate increases when CO2 in the air increases? Im sorry but i don't know


answer:
the current global climate system is relatively stable but i feel that due to daily emissions of green house gases by burning oil, coal, fuel reserves for energy is ruining or offsetting the delicate equilibrium/ balance of our weather patterns. there also more frequent episodes of natural disasters which have become more common after the excessive emission of CO2 into our atmosphere


answer:
I don't think that a butterfly  flapping its wings in brazil can jiggle the air and cause snowstorm in Alaska. The first reason is obviously the miniscule movement of the butterfly wings , it is highly unlikely that the movement of the small butterfly would cause such a large scale event. Secondly, the distance is a major issue. The distance between Brazil and Alaska is thousands of kilometers and therefore it is very unlikely that the force of the butterfly's wings would create such an event from a distance thousands of kilometers . thirdly , the instability air patterns can mean there is no way to be exactly sure whether or not the snowstorm was caused by the butterfly. there must be other factors of greater contribution. Lastly, but not the least, are many daily disturbances to airflow around the world such as high pressure systems, hurricanes and storms. some of these large scale disturbances are only in a certain area and might not cause any weather problem in nearby countries. Therefore, I feel that the flapping of the butterfly's wings will not have a significant impact on altering weather patterns in a countries so far away.


answer:
some strategies that could be used to extract gold  would be by ordering all robots to select a small space in a certain range and extract all gold there. then move to on to another area and repeat until the whole expanse of the planet has been covered. or another idea is landing the spaceship in different areas of the planet for a period of time and allowing the robots to scavenge the area and bring back gold and then changing the location of the spacecraft.


answer:
greenhouse gases are the gases emitted from human actions that are heating up the earth. They play a role because that gases block UV rays from leaving the earth and so they are reflected into it surface of the earth. This causes the earth to heat up. When there are more greenhouse gases emitted, there are more UV rays being reflected/bounced back to Earth


answer:
The carbon cycle is the continuos flow of carbon atoms. This is because they are always moving and so the cycle starts when the atmospheric CO2 is heated up. When it heats up, it starts to rise and it must be replaced. The cooler CO2 rushes down to fill/replace the rising carbon and this creates a cycle. if the carbon rises, it cools as it gets higher in the atmosphere and so it rushes down


answer:
weather can be predicted because of the satellites we have. This technology allows us to fully examine and take an educated guess about the weather at least a week in advance


answer:
NO, climate change can't be predicted because human actions can change the course of the climate


answer:
some examples are CO2, water feedback and the fossil fuels


answer:
An example of dynamic equilibrium is the level of carbon dioxide to the temperature of the Earth. If the level of carbon is disturbed by a factor like fossil fuels, it can affect the temperature since more of the sun's rays will be reflected back to earth


answer:
Some examples of emergent properties are temperature


answer:
No, it is not stable because fossil fuels usage keeps rising and when it rises, the entire system can become unstable and it will disturb the equilibrium of the system.


answer:
A butterfly flapping its wings would jiggle the air in BRAZIL but would it be enough for a snowstorm? it could be enough if the butterfly flapped its wings at the same time a wind current was coming in and the 'jiggle' in the air could cause a change in the cycle causing it to have a major events in q country/(state) like Alaska


answer:
The Robots should maintain a systematic approach and should always stay in something like a straight line where the gap between them is equal. Every lap of the planet they should shuffle across a little to ensure that every centimetre of the planet is covered


answer:
Some recommendation are:
1. Reducing carbon emissions
2. Reducing fossil fuels
3. increasing the planting of trees /reducing deforestation


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the CO2 emissions that are trapped within our atmosphere. They are in the form of heat from sun rays and travel to the earth as infrared but are unable to leave the earth, causing global warming.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the system in which the carbon in our environment and atmosphere is converted into different forms. It is important because we need to monitor our used and emissions to make sure our environment is siustainable


answer:
They are different. weather is the current conditions of an area whilst climate is the average condition of a place, usually over a period of time.


answer:
Yes, using models and graphs. We can use previous data/records to predict future weather patterns. we can also use satellites to track the movement of clouds, for example. However, the accuracy of weather predictions can't be guaranteed as there are other factors that could influence the environment that we haven't predicted i'e strong winds


answer:
No, climate is the average conditions of a particular region. climate can't be predicted because the conditions will stay approximately the same


answer:
Feedback is the change(positive/negative) in the environment that reflects other factors. For example, the more sheep there are consuming oxygen, the more carbon they exhale, for the trees, thus creating positive feedback


answer:
dynamic equilibrium is the balance between factors of the environment, for example, the relationship between trees using up carbon and producing oxygen. there has to be a sustainable number of trees to balance out the number of humans and animals using up the oxygen


answer:
No, the climate system is not stable, and research shows that temperature within the earth is steadily rising


answer:
It is not possible for one butterfly flapping its wings to reach such an effect but if there were million of butterflies flPPING t the same time and for a long period of time, then this is a possibility


answer:
Each robot should communicate with each other and tell each other which areas have been explored and searched for gold, so the mission is faster and no robots will be searching one place over and over when another robot has already searched there.
Also the robots should return to the spaceships once their carrying bin is full to avoid using any of the gold


answer:
I recommend that everyone should be educated about climate change, and use models to graph and determine the positive and negative effects we're having on our environment.
also, know and understand the effects of human actions such as fossil fuel burning on our environment, and find ways to keep our planet sustainable longer


answer:
greenhouse gases are emitted fossil fuel in our atmosphere. they build up and are trapped in the ozone layer. these green house gases cause the earth to heat up , thus global warming


answer:
the carbon cycle is the movement of carbon through a cycle. it emits oxygen and takes in C02


answer:
they are different. weather is based on the earth temperature and how it affects an individual zone. example of weather storm, for example winds, clouds, rainstorms, heat waves, etc.


answer:
Weather can be predicted with scientific devices but is is not always certainly accurate in measuring temperatures


answer:
climate can not be predicted because it can happen at any time/place and it's changes could happen drastically


answer:
an example of feedback can be water feedback which tells us the amount of moisture in the atmosphere based on how much of something is released


answer:
dynamic equilibrium is the equal distribution in the atmosphere


answer:
albedo, fossil fuels, gases are examples of emergent properties in a climate system


answer:
the amount of sheep can be an affect from tragedy of commons


answer:
it is not stable due to the amount of carbon dioxide being produced . the global climate is rising


answer:
butterflies are insect with wings which allow them to fly. they flap their wings in large swarms because it enables them to travel to other places faster. In Brazil, where there are millions of butterflies , it has been said that when they flap their wings together they can cause a snowstorm in Alaska. Firstly, butterflies are very fast creatures, thus makes it easy for them to flap their wings in incredible speed. with this ability , a swarm of butterflies can produce large amount of wind gushes. Secondly, Brazil has a warm climate zone. In warm area winds are much more emphasized and can become storms. If the butterflies were to flap their wings together in a swarm the strong winds could then travel to Alaska an cause a minor snowstorm.


answer:
the robots would need are the ability to cooperate, wheels to travel on and effectively put the gold in a safe place after it has been dug out. If the robots could talk to each other, they could easily hand each other the amounts of gold so that it could be stored in their spaceship quicker. The wheels are needed for them to glide across the planet otherwise they would be able to travel out at all. Once they sense the gold, dig it up and put it in their bin. they should go to their spaceship and put the gold in a safer place. if not the gold might fall out of their bin and they will be left with none.


answer:
- if there is a destination to go to which is 500m away, must not use a car unless elderly or disabled
-air conditioner should not be turned on for over an hour
- lower use of C02


answer:
Greenhouse gases are those that are associated with the green house effect. They become trapped in the atmosphere due to global warming, and heat the earth's surface like greenhouse. these include carbon dioxide . they are important for us to know what is associated with global warming and how it is affecting our planet.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the movement of carbon through all parts of the earth. it is important because everything is comprised of carbon and we need to know how it affects life on earth


answer:
No, they are different. Climate is typical description of weather conditions in an area and provides a general guideline. weather is the specific events of an area and can vary; climate is an average of generalisation of these events


answer:
Yes, it can be predicted. firstly, for example if the climate of an area is cold and wet, it can be predicted that there will be many rainy days, weather can also be predicted by observing the past few days and making a judgement


answer:
no, because climate is determined using weather patterns of an area. It requires observation and research and cannot simply be predicted.


answer:
Examples of feedback can include water feedback which tells us the amount of moisture in the atmosphere based on how much of something is released


answer:
dynamic equilibrium is when all the parts of climate systems are working together and nothing is out of place


answer:
Emergent properties are what stand out in climate systems, for example, if there is a break in a trend or an anomaly in a pattern.


answer:
'tragedy of the commons' is when something that is usually in balance falls out of place.


answer:
no, it is not. there is a determined climate for every area, however the gradual rising temperatures and 'climate change' are altering the climate system of the world


answer:
these are gases in the atmosphere which help trap heat from the sun rays to keep the earth at a relatively warm and stable temperature. An excess of greenhouse gases causes a rise in temperature, as the suns' rays are nor able to be reflected back onto space


answer:
the carbon cycle is the movement of carbon particles between the living and non-living parts of the environment. It is important to keep a balance of the amount of carbon being used and the stored carbon. for example, carbon is used by a sheep, in the atmosphere and  is also a stored as the remains of ancient trees under the ground


answer:
weather is day to day events such as rain , sunshine, clouds and thunderstorms. climate is a pattern over a prolonged period of time such as annual rainfall


answer:
weather can be predicted but to a limited degree, usually for only a week. Meteorologist can use satellites to help predict weather but because weather is so complicated and relies on so many factors, the predictions are not always accurate


answer:
climate can be predicted with more accuracy that weather. This is because if there is enough data and a trend , we can predict climate. also as climate refers to patterns over a long period of time , it can be predicted more easily by looking for patterns in pasts years


answer:
if the sun's rays melt the ice , and the amount of ice decreased, this results in less rays being reflected into space. This causes rising temperature and the cycle continues. this is an example of negative feedback, as the cycle is pushing further away from a state of equilibrium


answer:
the movement of C02 particles in the climate system. Although the total amountr remains the same, C02, particles are always moving between the land, sea and atmosphere


answer:
emergence is where a pattern is observed at micro level, which can not be seen at a larger scale. For example, the movement of heat particles in a circular motion , rising at the land and sinking at the sea is emergent property


answer:
the current global climate system is not stable. there has been a sudden rise in C02 in the atmosphere, and more greenhouse gases which has caused the rise in temperature. this affects the global climate system and the continued rising of temperature is causing global warming


answer:
this can possible, but only on a much larger or much smaller scale. if one million butterflies flap their wings, this would have a much greater effect on this. it can also be said that the flapping of the wings could move air towards Alaska. one butterfly would not affect anything by itself. if the flapping of the wings led to more actions which the caused the snowstorm, this would be more plausible. this called 'the butterfly effect'. only a chain of events could build up to a snowstorm starting at the butterfly, but not the butterfly's wings alone.


answer:
Firstly, the robots should be programmed to not exceed a certain distance for a certain period of time. this way, all the robots cans search together and are able to communicate together constantly, as they are not far apart. the gold will be effectively collected as all robots will be together and work quickly. after a period of a few hours, the robots should relocate to a different area and repeat the same process. they should send signals to earth. each robot should also make the counting process easier. each time they visit an area, the robots should return to the spaceship and store their gold. this way, the collection of the gold will be easy effective and efficient


answer:
firstly, based on the observation, the first that needs to be controlled is CO2 usage. CO2 is primarily associated with rises in temperature of the earth and accelerates global warming. deforestation also contributes to the problem, with CO2 levels increasing as the number of trees decreases. to reduce greenhouses gas emissions, there should be limits to how much coal factories can burn, and how much waste is disposed of in the ocean. water usage also need to be monitored to prevent droughts and drier climates. the albedo rate also needs to be observed


answer:
the idea that  a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and then help cause snowstorm in Alaska is not possible. while this can be possible on a much smaller scale, and does have origins in facts. the effect of the butterfly is much too little to have an effect on a snowstorm so far away. the movement of the air will cause the surrounding air to  move to move as well and have repercussions on a small scale. for example, waving a fan will cause a small breeze if it is next to your face, however, this is on a much smaller scale, and even then,the breeze is too small to help cause a snowstorm . also the distance between the two countries is far too big for the repercussions of the air moving to have an effect on a snowstorm.


answer:
the robots should be equipped with a device which allows human on earth to monitor them and have control over them. a small camera should be attached to each robot, sending an image every few minutes so we can monitor the progress being made. the robots should have sensors so they can mark their own territory to search. this way, the robots will be able to search more efficiently . the spaceship should emit noise every few seconds , so the robots are able to find their way back to the spaceship. there should be a large container in the main spaceship n, where the gold can be brought back and emptied in. there should also be a machine which sifts through the gold and remove any rocks or dirt. so that they can be dumped elsewhere. this way the spaceship does not have as much to carry and there is more room for the gold.


answer:
fossil fuel burning should be kept at a minimum , as the greenhouse gases and carbon emissions are causing a rise in the global temperature. More trees should be planted as they help use the C02 and thus lower the global temperature. agriculture is contributing to the greenhouse gases significantly , as shown by the sheep in the models. cutting down of agriculture or at least improving practices will be vital for the climate policy


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases like carbon dioxide that are produced by humans, mostly from burning fossil fuels that adds to the ozone layer. Without the thickening, the earth would be way too cold to live in. Therefore it is important we have our greenhouse gases.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle where carbon dioxide is turned into oxygen through the trees. The trees absorb the CO2 and release oxygen however when the leaves are falling in Autumn, the CO2 comes back out. The cycle is important because it allows us to have enough oxygen to breathe and also less CO2 in the atmosphere.


answer:
Weather and climate are NOT the same.

Weather: changes in the rainfall that vary and change either daily or even hourly. They are like rain, sun, cloudy. It can usually be predicted.

Climate: long lasting types of air and rainfall. They usually don't change for long period of time. Example wet climate, dry climate.


answer:
Weather is able to be predicted. By looking at the clouds and, wind flows, it is usually possible to predict the weather however it isn't always correct.


answer:
Climate usually can't be predicted. It is a prolonged type depending on the areas location on the earth. Drastic climate change is hard to predict and nearly impossible.


answer:
Feedback in climate change is the different things that are affected from the change. This could be, population decrease/increase, animal population, temperature and weather.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium in the climate include the amount of fossil fuels burnt. The albedo of the land is also highly influential.


answer:
Emergent properties are the factors that start to influence climate change.


answer:
They are common things that everyday people do for example, driving cars (producing CO2) that are changing the ozone layer and the level of rays are reflected back to the earth causing climate change.


answer:
The current global climate is definitely not sustainable. As the icecaps are melting, all the temperature does is rise. If we continue this, the sea levels will rise along with the temperature. A lot of animal species will die, causing a break in the food chain which will soon effect human food sources.


answer:
Although the theory is fairly controversal and many argue both sides, I believe that the theory is most definitely not true.

My first reason is because of the little impact the butterfly would have on the earth. Unless there are about 7,000,000 butterflys, flapping their wings at exactly the same time, causing a MASSIVE gush of wind to Alaska, it is quite impossible that one little butterfly could start a snowstorm.

Also, the snowstorm are determined by clouds from different places. If a butterfly flapping its wing in Brazil can start a snowstorm, what would happen if a bird flaping it's wings? It is just an impossible theory.


answer:
-Each robot should have a tracking device.
-If one robot has a malfunction, it should magnetically attract two other robots that have been assigned to stay close to each other so that they can join and go back to home base (space craft)
-Send constant pictures/statistics back to Earth whenever possible.
-emergency button to stop all processing.
-robots shut down when malfunctioning, however the tract device still works.
-When the gold is dug out, examine extremely carefully before adding to pile.


answer:
As a member of a United Nation committee, I would constantly remind everyone to stop using so much energy. In order to raise awareness, all schools are compulsory to study the topic of climate change and ads on television and before movies are to be shown.
Collecting precise data is necessary and it is important to acknowledge the problems to everyone.
There should be competitions for the People of the world to participate in, trying to think of ways to help global warming. The winner would recieve a prize and the ideas can be put to thought and consideration by scientists.
Most important is to always make sure people are aware of all the problems the Earth will face if we keep living the unsustainable lifestyle.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases released into the atmosphere that keep the heat radiated to us by the sun, trapped in the atmosphere. They are important because they keep the earth at a warm livable climate.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle in which carbon goes through the atmosphere, earth and ocean It is important because carbon is an important element int the world and the way the carbon is moving around the world can affect everyone.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather can change from day to day, and isn't always consistent, while climate is the general weather (like an average) of a specific place.


answer:
Weather is hard to predict because it can be very random and fluctuate a lot, but the general weather for the next few days is possible to find because we can relate changes in weather to things such as winds, oceans, atmosphere,


answer:
Climate can be predicted, more so than the weather, because it is gradual and we can examine the factors that goes into the changing climate and figure out how the climate will change in the future. Factors such as the atmospher or greenhouse gas emission.


answer:
Feedback in the climate system can be the way water is evaporated (which then becomes a greenhouse gas), traps more heat in the atmosphere, causing more water to evaporate, trapping more heat in the atmosphere, and so on.


answer:
The way carbon moves in the climate systems is an example of dynamic equilibrium. Even though individual carbon particles never stay in the same place, the amount of carbon is kept consistent, or equal.


answer:
Emergent properties in climate systems are the fact that although individual air particles look like they are moving in random directions, as a mass they are all moving in the same direction.


answer:
Tragedy of commons is the fact that some aspects of the climate system are affected so badly that it can't go back to the way it was originally.


answer:
The current global system is not completely stable, because an increase in greenhouse gas emission affect the way in which the air, water and carbon particles behave, and causes it to not remain consistent.


answer:
A butterfly flapping its wings in one area and largely affecting an area in another part of the world is called the butterfly effect. The theory that changes in one place causes a domino effect that causes changes in another place.
   Small changes - even a butterflies wings changing the air around it with the flap of its wings, can instigate an assorted of other changes as a result of this small changes in the air around it.
   The small change in the air can affect the air next to it, which might affect the larger amount of air next to it, which could instigate  wind, breeze or change  in temperate in the atmosphere or ocean, all of these changes stack up to create a situation in which a snowstorm occurs in another part of the world, in this case, Alaska.
   This theory is evident in relation to the climate systems - one small change can end up changing and effecting the entire system. It may not be as dramatic a snowstorm, but it has the potential to be.
   The Butterfly effect is in our everyday life, if we do something slightly different in the morning, it could change how entire day works out. The point is, small changes can effect something only slightly bigger, which may affect something that is only lightly bigger, and it keeps going until the changes become more prominent - which can result in an snowstorm.


answer:
Gold deposits tend to be far underground the more you dig it up - after the gold fairly close to the surface has been dug up, and the sensors don't pick up any traces of gold anywhere, the robots should all meet in an area such as the spaceship and split off into groups, where they will then use 'man'power to dig up the gold that is further underground. Before all this however they would communicate with each other to tell each other if they have exhausted the amount of gold in the area (thats not too deep for one robot to find).
   Then, as a group, the robots will move to another section of the planet, doing the same thing they did in the first area. They will try and find as much gold that they can reach in an area so they can communicate with one another. They should proceed this way until they're gone over the entire planet, afterwhich they will separate into groups and start to dig deeper for gold.
   However there would be an issue as to how much gold each robot could carry if it had only one carrying bin, which wouldn't be able to store all the gold if they were to go over the entire planet. There would have to be one brave robot who would in waves, take the gold back to the spaceship. As the group of robots moved further away from the spaceship, the more robots they would send to transport the gold (for safety measures, and so the robots can keep each other company :) )


answer:
First of all, and most obviously, the amount of greenhouse gases emitted must be brought down to a consistent rate, that is very low, so that the greenhouse gases won't affect the climate and force it to change dramatically.
   Renewable energy should predominantly be used to keep the energy we use at a sustainable level. The temperature of the air, the carbon in the atmosphere and ocean all are affected by the greenhouse gas emission. We will only increase use of greenhouse gas emission in the future, so it is essential we cut down on the greenhouse gases now, by making use of renewable energy.
   The amount of trees we cut down will also affect the state of our climate if we keep getting rid of them. They help keep the carbon equal in the carbon cycle and in relation to dynamic equilibrium. The key is to keep our environment at a level in which it can sustain itself - which we can help to do by refraining from pumping loads of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and getting rid of something that can help control the situation - trees.


answer:
greenhouse gases are gases which contribute to the greenhouse effect and essential global warming and climate change. They are important because they contribute entirely to global warming and climate change and those are the issues majorly affecting out lives today and will continue to affect our future if no-one put a stop to it


answer:
the carbon cycle is the cycle of carbon within the atmosphere. it is important because we need a healthy carbon cycle for a healthy planet


answer:
weather only last for a short period of time. climate is more long term


answer:
yes, weather can be predicted . weather shows sign of change , el nino, la nina


answer:
climate can be predicted, climate stations or collected info about the weather


answer:
water feedback when the water warms and create greenhouse gases (evapoartion) this is negative feedback


answer:
carbon and oxygen cycle its constantly changing, produces carbon dioxide, trees absorb the carbon dioxide then exhales oxygen which is then absorbed.


answer:
no, global warming and climate change creates a tipping point and the world will end


answer:
common sense tells me that this is not possible


answer:
that every robot must stay in range of 2 other robots. Tell the robots that you only live once and if they don't find all the gold within the time limit , they'll all die , teah scare the robots. equip robots with solar power boards so they can work faster with the frequent solar flares.


answer:
maximum of 2 child policy. carbon tax to reduce carbon emissions. aim to reduc greenhouse gases, reduce evaporation (increase albedo effect), reduce carbon emission ( reduce use of petroleum cars, reduce fossil fuelling, slowdown logging/ deforestration


answer:
Green house gases are gases in the atmosphere that trap incoming solar radiation on Earth in order for a stable temperature on Earth. They're important because they keep the Earth from freezing...


answer:
The carbon cycle is a closed cycle of carbon atoms constantly being transferred between organisms.


answer:
Weather and climate are different.
Weather is the atmospheric movement at a particular time. Climate is the pattern of temperatures over a long period of time. Weather varies more than climate.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to a certain extent (1 week into the future) but is not always accurate. You can track the movement of preassure systems but is again, not always accurate.


answer:
Climate can be predicted more accurately then weather. Climate shows a trend/pattern over a long period of time and can therefore continue and be predicted.


answer:
Feedback in climate systems is where something is put in and something is received in a loop...I forgot... I remember the ants model though where the ants chemical trail helped the colony efficiently and effectively find food.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium in climate systems would relate to CO2 in the atmosphere and the CO2 in the ocean. They both remain equal with each other constantly, but isn't a static equilibrium because carbon is constantly being exchanged between the atmosphere and ocean.


answer:
Emergent properties in the climate system relates to the 'circle of air' that occurs where land meets the ocean. The air is simply reacting to the enviroment it's placed in (over cool water or hot land) but when looked at a macro-level, it shows a recurring cycle.


answer:
Tragedy of the commons are resources that have no 'owner' so countries deplete and ruin them without restoring and replenishing (air,water).


answer:
The current global climate system isn't stable, because CO2 is constantly being released into the atmosphere, strengthening the effects of greenhouse effect. If this continiues tom happen without trying to reverse the effects, a) the fossil fuels will run out and b0temperatures will rise.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases released when there is a certain activity. it is vital to our lives because it is an important factor in the carbon cycle keeping the environment of the earth sustainable


answer:
The carbon cycle is the everlasting process of the gas molecules changing form. it undergoes different form such as energy for photosynthesis in plants and oxygen for animals


answer:
No, weather is specific in terms of place, time and date, while climate takes place in a wider range of settings


answer:
weather can be predicted . There are estimations that can be made through past weather or satellite images


answer:
climate can be predicted however, it is able to change , unlike weather. It is only estimated from past recordings


answer:
feedback is systems are when there is an income from what was originally the outcome. am example is the climate systems would be when the temperature of the land and sea increases as the cloud cover and albedo rates reduced.


answer:
the term is not to be taken literally but more thought should be put in to determine the true meaning. A butterfly can not cause a snowstorm in Alaska, however, if taken metaphorically it shows the concept of altering a factor which can change the whole systems of problems. it explains that effort should be put in to overcome global warming. so that the small changes we make in our actions can actually make a big difference.


answer:
relating to the ant model. the programs of the robot can be designed so that, the robots find a large amount. it can leave chemicals or scents on the ground so that the other robots can follow the tracks. There should also be a program where sensors are attached to the robots so that they do not crash into each other , relating to the bird flocking model.


answer:
From the information gathered , it is suggested that there are changes that can be made by human to reduce climate change and global warming. It is ideal to reduce burning of fossil fuels, reducing factories-main source of pollution. Also, thought should be put with the carbon tax. and people should be put to vote for it. More trees can be planted and there should be a day when everyone rests and plant a tree each


answer:
Greenhouse gases are particles in the air that are product of human activity, ex carbon and water vapor. They can disturb processess on eart and the earth's equilibrium


answer:
there is carbon in everything, the trees, animals and atmosphere and the sea. It is the amount of carbon shared on the earth. It is important that the amount of carbon is balanced so that processes on earth do not change dramatically. the carbon cycle is the carbon travels in cycle from the trees to the atmosphere to the animals. carbon cannot be destroyed as it is a never ending cycle.


answer:
No. weather is in the short-term. It can be predicted at an approximation. the climate is in long term, its patterns can be approximated but many factors influence the change in climate


answer:
yes, but only an approximation. It can be predicted with weather maps, satellite information and with the use of equipment like weather balloons


answer:
yes, but there are many factors that influence the climate. we can monitor hte change in climate but can not predict it with precision


answer:
feedback is when an output of a system becomes part of the input in a  system. ex. radiation of the sun is an example of feedback. it is used in the albedo effect to create on the earth


answer:
no, the current global climate system is beginning to heat up. the sea level is also rising due to the rise in temperature and this causes problems for ecosystems. the climate is not stable anymore as humans begin to produce more carbon emissions


answer:
I believe that we should not send robots to another planet to collect gold as this will only increase the greed of developed nations. the world will not be a place in which all citizens are equal and have equal opportunities. But if we choose to send robots to this distant planet.
- the robots could absorb the sun's heat and use it as its energy to find and dig gold.
-robots must look for gold in groups rather than individually
-use magnets to attract gold


answer:
-limit human impact and emissions by reducing number of factories .perhaps changing coal to nuclear energy to limit human carbon output
-reducing cloud cover (by less carbon output) . this way the suns radiation can reach the earth and be absorbed in the albedo but not overheat the earth


answer:
greenhouse gases are gases like carbon dioxide and water vapour that trap solar radiation by forming a 'blanket over the earth. its is due to the that planet earth is warm enough for humans to live on and keeps the temperature hospitable


answer:
The carbon cycle refers to carbon molecules that remain on different parts of the earth. They can be in the air, in the ocean, or buried underground, and as the passes carbon, the water 'cycle' through the different 'spheres' on the earth


answer:
weather and climate are different in that weather refers to short term temperature and conditions, whilst climate is a long term measure of such temperature and conditions


answer:
weather can be predicted to a certain extent by observing fronts, high/low pressure systems, and therefore the likelihood of certain conditions or temperature


answer:
climate can be predicted to a certain extent by looking back on past climate records and taking into account factors like our current use of fossil fuels, forecast a long term pattern


answer:
feedback occurs when something in a climate system is changed (e.g amount of fossil fuels being burnt) and something else is affected because of it. in this case, the temperature rising is a form of positive feedback as it continues to rise


answer:
dynamic equilibrium refers to the fluctuations in two parts of a climate system that may change slightly in the short term but remain relatively constant by keeping each other in balance. an example is the amount of carbon in the ocean and its temperature.


answer:
emergent occurs when, individually, parts of climate system (e.g the air molecules in a model) react to its environment and change accordingly, at the micro level, they are not following a particular trend, but a pattern 'emerges' when we view the model/system as a whole - for instance, hot air rising and cool air rushing in to replace it in a a sea breeze


answer:
an example of the 'tragedy of the common' in climate systems could be air pollution-nobody is responsible for 'looking after'
 the air, which is shared by everyone but owned taken responsibility for by no one


answer:
the current global climate system is unstable due to our excessive use of fossil fuels, we cannot be certain what will happen next- hence it is unstable.


answer:
greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that reflect UV rays from the sun that have already been reflected by the earth's surface back to earth. Without them the earth would be dozens of degrees colder


answer:
the carbon cycle is a balanced closed circuit in which carbon on earth moves in processes can take thousands of years or happen relatively fast. the balance of this cycle is essential to life , if carbon overloaded the atmosphere or oceans, catastrophic events could occur


answer:
weather is the immediate atmospheric conditions , whereas, climate is far more general statistic over longer period of times


answer:
to certain extent , weather is very unruly and can be difficult to determine more than  a few days in advance. However, patterns can be observed and followed and we can cross-reference them to help us predict weather in certain areas.


answer:
arguably climate is harder to predict because of the elongated time period . when averages change more than they should , past records can be consulted and estimation can be made


answer:
when the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere is increased due to higher temperatures, the temperature increases further because of the greenhouse effect. This causes more water vapor to be put in the atmosphere and so the temperature rise further , etc.


answer:
no, the increasingly unbalanced amount of carbon in the air is changing the climate for the worse


answer:
No, the displacement of air would be so miniscule as to hardly be registered at all, let alone cause a snowstorm thousands of kilometers away. if movements that small could conjure extreme weather conditions than they would occur at a startlingly rate than they already do,


answer:
the robots should send out signal to other robots when they find the gold, as such, robots should go to these signals in order to collect all of the gold. When they pick up a signal saying that the gold has been found, they should automatically follow it , while also emitting same signal so that others also follow and find the gold. To prevent the unnecessary loss robots, they should change direction when they are at the maximum range of communication so that they don't become lost and not be able to communicate with the other robots


answer:
less carbon is to be burnt and energy sources such as solar energy, hydro power, thermo-electric energy ( for now anyway)


answer:
i don't think it is possible for a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil to jiggle the air and help cause snowstorm in Alaska.
 a snowstorm requires many different climatic factors especially the right temperature, which butterfly cannot affect. secondly, the question refers to 'a butterfly' not many of them, and one butterfly contributing to a snowstorm is highly implausible.
Thirdly, even if they could cause snowstorm a butterfly in North America or Canada would be far likely to contribute to its formation than one form Brazil
Therefore, i don't think a butterfly in Brazil can help cause snowstorm in Alaska


answer:
i think that, like the ants in one of the models, the robots should emit a chemical trail, when they find gold so that others may flock towards it and follow. Then when all gold has been dug up from a certain location, the robots should scatter and continue their exploration until yet mother robot finds gold. This way, the robots should be able to find and dry all the gold on the planet relatively efficiently.


answer:
*Because excessive use of fossil fuels creates using temperatures we should place restrictions on the amount of fossil fuels being burnt.
*To prevent the 'tragedy of the commons' from developing further, we should allow countries to divide the commons so they are each responsible fro owning and maintaining parts of the ocean and atmosphere/air
*we should establish more weather observation stations to observe and predict long term climate changes 
*we should create a worlwide tax on carbon
*we should observe long term climate changes/trends to see if any emergent properties appear.


answer:
Yes this is possible because the jiggled air no matter how small can thus help cause a snowstorm. Effects from one continent can affect another, but there would have to be thousands of butterflies in Brazil flapping their wings to cause a snowstorm in Alaska. For example El nino affects two entirely different continents Oceania and South America so the jiggled air can help cause a snowstorm.


answer:
Other rules or strategies the robots should follow to effectively and efficiently find all the gold on the planet are:
-after it collects and holds a certain amount of gold, it is to deliver back to the spaceship
-then go to collect more gold
-keep collecting gold until all the gold is depleted, or until they've taken as much as possible without having adverse affects
-once all gold that can be collected, is collected the robots return to the ship and head back to Earth
-if there are alien life forms, the robots must communicate that we bring no harm, we just want gold, collect as  much gold as possible, before trouble occurs
-select certain areas where groups of robots can work together in with good communication then when the resources are depleted, choose a different area to work in
-cover the entire planet eventually and finish the job


answer:
-reduce fossil fuel usage in each and every country
-implement measures that avoid using coal and any other mass greenhouse gas producer
-use solar, wind, hydro or nuclear energy or a combination
 of them or any green source of energy
educate people of adverse affects of climate change on the planet and society
-try to be a green, environmentally friendly planet


answer:
Greenhouse gases act as a layer above the earth's surface which traps some heat in (infrared rays?). They are important because without, the earth would be very cold at night as the sun's rays are not directed at the earth. The gases keep the heat in, making it warmer.


answer:
All living things are made of the carbon atom. The carbon cycle is the movement of carbon through the earth. A carbon particle may be found in a living creature, then is expired as carbon dioxide, which is then in the atmosphere, which is then in the water. It is constantly changing, however cannot be destroyed or produced. Only the place is changes. The carbon cycle allows there to be different state of matter. The carbon cycles goes round and round.


answer:
Weather is short term, of a days temperature, wind movement, moisture levels which may include winds, storms, rain 'sunny' days, cloudy, lightning.
Climate is weather over a long period of time. For example, central Australia's climate is hot and dry.


answer:
Weather can be predicted, especially with the aid of modern technology. Meteorologists can observe patterns with the seasons, cloud, sun, wind, rain. Satellites help us by showing images of the earth which present the movement of clouds. Proof: weather forecasts on news are very accurate.


answer:
Climate can also be predicted with the aid of modern technology, research science and observations. Scientists can make trends, and graph weather and patterns may arise. We can assume the future climate from this data.


answer:
Feedback is the input of something which creates an output. For example, the denser a forest, the more fire and it just keeps growing - this is positive feedback. In climate systems: the sun's rays hits the albedo and is reflected, the earth cools, the albedo turns colder (ice), and reflects more, and it repeats and the earth gets cooler and cooler.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium is the opposite of feedback. It creates a constant equal measure. An example is the equilibrium with the carbon in the atmosphere and ocean - when the amount of carbon in the atmosphere increases, the amount in the ocean decreases. The dynamic equilibrium brings it back to being equal.


answer:
Something that is significantly out of the dynamic equilibrium such as the significant rise in temperature.


answer:
I think it's the tragedy of the water and wind.


answer:
No - the temperature is rising steadily because of the increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. (not more carbon, but more in a certain place) which is  greenhouse gas, which traps more heat in the earth.


answer:
No, it is not possible.
Wind movement is caused by currents which move in certain directions according to the land and sea. The higher the positive feedback, the larger the storm.


answer:
Firstly, this is a typical thing for a human to do. Everything seems to revolve round money and riches.
I wouldn't bother thinking about rules and strategies for robots to find gold on other planets.
Oh wait - follow that ant thing - feedback. One robot finds something, the other robot should follow and dig in that area. When there is no more gold - go somewhere else and repeat.


answer:
propose a few things:
-reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere by:
   -saving energy (eg. switching off lights)
   -allow only one car per family
   -educating students about climate change
   -educate teachers and schools on saving paper - print double-sided.
Climate change is happening and we should do something about it. 

From the models, we should try and avoid feedback and bring the carbon back to the dynamic equilibrium - this will stop the temperature rising.

Australia should definitely do something about climate policy, as we are the world's largest producer in carbon emmissions per capita. We should take lead and be the first country to act.


answer:
Greenhouse gases insulate the atmosphere, and therefore our planet. Survival is dependant on the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases form a layer in the atmosphere which traps solar rays from escaping. This gives a higher chance of the solar ray to be transformed into ultra red rays which warm the earth significantly. Thick layers of greenhouse gases produce a warmer climate.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle carbon goes through the spheres - hydrosphere, lythosphere, atmosphere. Carbon is recycled through this system. This is important because carbon is a stable for life, eg. carbon in the air we breathe, carbon that we burn for fuel, energy.


answer:
Climate and weather are not the same. Climate is a complex system over a large area, whilst the weather is brief modification and variables in the meteorological system, effected by wind, temperature, etc. A climate is an area, whilst weather is a shared common.


answer:
Weather can be predicted for a couple of days ahead due to pattern in weather that can be read and conclusion can be drawn. Tracking of moving components to weather eg. cold fronts, can be predicted to reach a certain area.


answer:
Climate can be predicted on large scale measures, eg. water levels will decreases in an area or temperature might rise. Prediction are merely hypothesis, and may not occur in practice though. Factors and variables in an area can be measured to hypothesis future modifications to a climate.


answer:
Feedback can be seen in the greenhouse gas effect. The trapping of solar rays heats the atmosphere, which produces more vapour and other greenhouse gases, which helps trap solar rays more efficiently. This goes in a cycle until the tipping point.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium is when everything is in balance. There is a tipping point present in a dynamic equilibrium.


answer:
Tragedy of common is when we shared element, eg. water, air, is abused by one source, resulting in uneven distribution of the earth's resources.


answer:
Earth, water, fire, air. All fur nation lived in harmony, but everything changes when the fur nation attacked. Only the avatar, mentor of all fur nation could save us. But when we needed him the most, he vanished. A hundred years later, my brother and I found the new avatar, Hang. Although his arbinding skills are great, he still has also to learn before he can save anyone. But I believe, Hang can save the world.


answer:
Green house gases are the gases, or in some cases, vapour/particles that are released into the air naturally.
Example of greenhouse gases are:
-water vapour
-carbon dioxide
These can be released into the atmosphere by many means such as evaporation, decomposition and burning. However these can also be bought back into the lithosphere via rain and photosynthesis.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the movement of carbon from one place to another.
Example of this is:
-a certain particle being trapped in the chemical bond, H2O, or commonly known as water. This might then evaporate and the carbon would be in the air, depending on the elements surrounding it, this carbon molecule might bond and become C02. This C02 particle would the be photosynthesis ans 'stuck' in the tree. The continuous movement of carbon. That is the carbon cycle.


answer:
Weather & climate are different.
Weather is what the conditions are in a place, this changes on a daily, sometimes even hourly basis.
Climate is a way of categorising different areas into arctic, antarctic, temperate, tropical, desert. Basically, climate is the type of area the spot is this depends on the conditions and weather there as well as the ecosystems.


answer:
Weather can be predicted, this is able to be done by using satellites and air current maps.
However, the atmosphere is unpredictable, a sunny day could turn into a devastating storm if the conditions were right. So even though we were able to predict the weather, it is never 100% accurate.


answer:
A climate cannot always be predicted. Even though climate states' of an area shouldn't change frequently (unlike weather), even if we use topographic maps and information on sun spots solar storm patterns, to change a climate would take a long time. Who knows what kind of devastating or changing event might occur in a thousand or even a million years.


answer:
A example of feedback in the climate is the continual cycle of water evaporation and temperature increases. This is an example of positive feedback. However, to counter this imbalance, a negative feedback comes into play. This is the water cycle. Even though water is evaporated into the air to add to the greenhouse effect, by creating clouds and rain a lot of the water vapour is brought back down.


answer:
Sea breezes.
When the hot air rises, colder air comes to replace the void. However this air becomes warmer too, at the same time the rising air is cooling and when the warming air rises, this cool air moves in.
This is an example of dynamic equilibrium because it will always be like this and nothing natural can dramatically change it.


answer:
Tragedy of the common is when necessities are not moved out equally. An example of this in climate systems is the distribution of water.
To many plants, water is abundance and there is no way for drought such as in rain forests. However in drier, more avid region such as deserts, water is scarce and because of this lack, the desert enroaches on surrounding areas for water but only ever accomplishing the expansion of the desert.


answer:
It is stable in a way since the world is surviving right now (somehow). However many areas in the world climate are dying, especially inland areas which have large desert areas. This is due to the fact the rain clouds are unable to carry large masses of water to those areas resulting in a large area of desert surrounded by lush forest & grassland.


answer:
When a butterfly flaps its wings, this will not help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. For one, if the small jiggling of the air can amplify so much over such a distance the shouldn't the west-coast of USA also feel some sort of effect? Also, if we use theory of feedback that there would need the be something that can continue to amplify the movement made by a butterfly wings.
If the movement of a butterfly's wings can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska, Places on the west coast of the USA should feel at least a quartre of the impact this movement has on Alaska. However these doesn't seem to be much extreme air activity in that area except for the occasional storm caused by sea breezes. Also these reports of tornadoes are usually from the inland areas and these two areas are not very close by. Thus from this evidence, the movement of butterfly's wings to the no affect on Alaska or on the west coast of the USA.
If the jiggling of the air were to create such a devastating wind, then the theory of positive feedback should be able to be observed through the process. However there is nothing which can increase such a small no. butterflies. The movement would simply dissipate into the air and can only affect light object surrounding it.
With this evidence, it should be seen that the 'jiggling' of the air from a butterfly's wings cannot help create a snow storm in Alaska. But it's always nice to dream.


answer:
If this event were to occur and the robots were sent out, then to maintain a long-distance communication, a car larger communication to men should be placed around the planet. Another option would be to create some sort of magnetic shield such as that observed on Earth, to protect the planet from solar flares, storms and radiation.
Before actually digging around for gold on the planet, First the robots should establish a few hundred fall communication to wen so that the robots transmissions can be picked up and amplified to allow another robot on the other side of the planet to hear. Although because of solar radiation being so spontaneous, a strong wave might damage these.
Another way to secure long-distance communication would be for all robots to be internally equiped/ fitted with a heave metal with a magnetic force. The robots should be made of a durable but non-metal material. Each robot should be assigned a specific area and a magnetic shield can be created. This can also be done with stations (which is probably a better idea) but the robots would still have to be made out if a non-metal material.
If both of these methods are used then long-distance communication should be successful.
And we will be rich.


answer:
To reduce the risk of global warming, more carbon and water vapour should be taken from the air. A way yo do this is to plant more trees which will take out some of the gases however not in excess since trees cannot hold too much unless in a large group. glass Domes should also be built to store water.
A way to slow or prevent global warming is to plant trees. However because of the risk of a bushfire, there should be many groups of trees planted in separate areas. Thus lowering the risk of a large scale bushfire. Since it is water vapour that greatly contributes to global warming (more so then carbon) the trees are a good idea since they can store both water and carbon.
Numerous glass domes should also be built to store but also to trap water vapour so less can be released into the air as a greenhouse gas.
So if the actions are taken less greenhouse gases will be released and lots can be drawn back down to provide for us especially those who need it most.


answer:
No, the butterfly can't affect the Alaskan weather. The small shift in air caused by a butterfly is barely detectable to a human. This shift in air has no chance to affect a country on the other side of Earth. Using the same logic is the claim that butterflies flying can cause a snowstorm, a small child clapping its hands can cause a catastrophic damage in Iceland, an the force of a person breathing can trigger a devastating landslide in Peru.
The winds of earth would comune the jiggle of air and thus it would have no effect on anything. The scale on the distance in Brazil to Alaska is tremendously large to the flap of a butterfly. It is something like an atom to a human. If one atom curled it, the human couldn't even blink an eye.
It is nigh impossible for this small 'jiggle' of air to cause a snowstorm on Alaska due to the minute, undetectable change in its surrounding 10cm2, which is undetectable in Alaska.


answer:
The strategies used to program an efficient feedback systems are the following; the ability to move towards the nearest highburning robot, the ability to swirl around an approaching robot to avoid collision, and the ability to follow the same path as the robot closest. This will produce an efficient flock of orderly robots to produce a structure feedback formation for advancement. When a robot has failed its bin, then its shall go back to its spaceship, releasing a sensor that renders it invisible to other robots so they will not follow path. When they have captured their bins, they could pick up a sensor that robots that have found a gold source give out, to locate gold quicker.
This can produce an ever advancing squad of undefectable gold lasting robot armies, which can find gold quickly and tell its comrades about it.


answer:
-To avoid tragedy of commons, The privileged must use their money to create a better systems for the less privileged, eg. building water system in African countries suffering drought, educating farmers to farm better
-Create a certain a limit of carbon fuel emission per Capita to reduce world emission. Countries must use sources mindfully - caring is sharing
-Everyone share and be nice, basically. One benefit for you may be a downfall for others, so fly and acrid thru. Short term benefits like chopping trees, overusing harvest grush should be stopped to produce a long term benefit.
-In benefit of the entire world, a communist government should be selected to course firm enforcement of laws. A culling system for the people deemed mentally dead, eg. severe alchiemer should be used to ensure maximum input and output. A child policy worldwide may help too, in reducing resource use. Euthanasia should be legal in all countries.
These all help to ensure output = input


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that keep the earth around 33 degrees warmer than it would be otherwise. They are important because they keep the earth at the right temperature for life to be able to exist


answer:
the carbon cycle is they way that carbon changes form- animals and plants are made of carbon, animals breath out carbon dioxide which is then absorbed by plants, when animals and plants die, because it ensures that the level of carbon stays the same in all parts of the cycle. One small change in the cycle can affect everything else.


answer:
Weather and climate are different . weather is the short term changes in the atmosphere-things like the temperature and level of wind in a certain day. climate is the long-term weather-how the weather is generally in a certain area at different times of the year.


answer:
People can predict the weather to an extent-they can only predict what the weather will be a few days before it occurs, aand are still often incorrect with their prediction.


answer:
climate can be predicted , as it is a generalization of what the weather will be like, and so usually stays the same in different areas.


answer:
Negative Feedback- when the amount of heat from the sun coming into the earth is greater than amount of heat being radiated back into the space, and this difference causes albedo to increase and more heat is reflected until the balance is regained.
Positive feedback- when there is more water vapor in the atmosphere , causing the temperature to rise , which in turn causes the water vapor levels to rise, a cycle which continues.


answer:
One example of dynamic equilibrium is the cycle of pxygen and carbon dioxide in animals and plants. Animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide , which then absorbed by plants. Plants release oxygen , which is breathed in by animals. If all the plants were removed from the system, this would disrupt the equilibrium and the animals would die and vice versa


answer:
One example is when you look at air particles in a convection current (at a microspcopic level) and there is no visible pattern. However, when viewing the dust particle moved by the convection current (at a macro level) , the pattern emerges and it is possible to see that it is indeed a convection current


answer:
No, because many many tonnes of fossil fuels have been burnt , causing large quantities of carbon to be released into the atmosphere. this has disrupted the equilibrium of the global climate system, resulting in the temperature rising


answer:
a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can't directly cause a snowstorm in Alaska. However, the slight movement of air caused by the butterfly flapping its wings could disrupt the previous balance. this could be the start of a domino effect, causing larger and larger changes, until it finally resulted in a snowstorm in Alaska


answer:
In order for robot to most effectively and efficiently find all the gold on the planet, there are few things they must do. They should , in pairs, cover a specific area of the planet. This way, the robots wouldn't end up looking for gold in areas where it was already taken back to the spaceship. Also, it saves time, because each robot knows exactly where to go and can take the most direct route without wandering aimlessly. The reason why they should cover each area in pairs is that while one robot is searching for and collecting the gold, the other robot is taking its load back to the spaceship. this way , time is saved, as there is constantly searching for gold all over the planet. The robots need to return to the spaceship as soon as their bin for carrying the gold is full, to avoid spilling and losing any of the gold


answer:
stop burning  fossil fuels and find a renewable source of energy. not only is the quantity of fossil fuels finite, meaning that we will run out and not have anymore available for millions and millions of years, but this burning of fossil fuels releases carbon into the atmosphere which disrupts the balance and is causing our climate to change and the temperature to rise. Even the slightest increase in carbon in the atmosphere has a huge effect.


answer:
greenhouse gases are gases as carbon dioxide and water vapor that are in the earths atmosphere. This gases absorb infra red rays reflected into the atmosphere from the earth.


answer:
all living things are based on a carbon atom. Humans take oxygen and Release C02 , which is then photosynthesized by trees to produce starch and more oxygen . The earth is able to carbon levels equal by the transferring of carbon from one living thing to another


answer:
weather and climate are different. weather is the day to day changes in temperature , humidity , wind , etc. Climate however, is the temperature, rainfall, humidity , etc. for a part of hte world over a long period of time and usually remains constant over the years.


answer:
weather can be predicted . Meteorologists do this. weather is able to predicted by changes in air (cold fronts, warm fronts, high and low pressure systems). How these air systems move enable meteorologists to predict the weather for a maximum of one week in advance


answer:
climate is relatively constant and cannot be predicted as such. However, because climate is regular patterns of climate in areas can be known in advance by looking at past climatic patterns in the area


answer:
sun rays to earth-heat absorbed and reflected. reflected rays are feedback


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium occurs in a closed system. the feedback from different parts of the climate system are able to remain equal as the system is closed and nothing is added or removed. It is dynamic because the particles move. the carbon cycle is an example of dynamic equilibrium


answer:
IC habe mein Antwort vergessen. Does albedo haave anything to do with it?


answer:
Convection currents , water vapor, extra vapor:extra heat =rise in temperature -nothing to cancel out-albedo + heat continue to rise -heat over takes- tipping pint = tragedy


answer:
the current global system is not stable because of the earth's greenhouse gases being added to the atmosphere. this means that there is a collapse of the dynamic equilibrium because more is is being added and is unable to escape. the greenhouse gases absorb heat from the sun that bis reflected off the earth. This causes a rise in global temperature. Eventually , the amount of positive-will become too large and the global climate will reach tipping point , which is detrimental results


answer:
The movement of a butterfly's wings can indeed jiggle the air, but the movement in the air caused by the butterfly is very small. Therefore, it would be highly unlikely that a snowstorm in Alaska would be caused by the air movement created by a butterfly. If this were to occur, the small changes created by the butterfly would have to intensify massively and travel across continents to create such a big climatic event, i.e. snowstorm. Therefore, it is incredibly unlikely that a little butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can cause a snowstorm , across continents, in Alaska really unlikely. The butterfly would have to be really big to cause such a change in air movement


answer:
in order to most effectively and efficiently find a lot of gold, the robots must be assigned individual areas for search. Each robot should dig up all the gold in there small area. At the same time everyday, the robots must return their gold to the spaceship. This method would be efficient because it means that all areas of the planet would be covered and that the robots would not need to communicate with each other because they would all follow the same time schedule


answer:
Our climate is in danger of reaching a tipping point due to the increase of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, the increase of albedo and a constant rise in temperature. We need to refrain from adding more carbon into our closed system and if possible, find a way to remove carbon so that our earth can return to a dynamic equilibrium. this will contribute to helping our climate regain stability across the globe


answer:
greenhouse are gases that are produced into the atmosphere such as methane. it also contributes to the global warming


answer:
-carbon in the air   -evaporation in the /through the ocean - causes the atmosphere to grow warmer/colder depending on evaporation

- it contributes to cloud and  cloud cover which causes the rise and drops of temperature


answer:
No. Weather is the temperature and natural effects that occur during a short period of time, ex. day.. Climate is measured in longer periods, ex.. a few years


answer:
weather can be predicted through effects such as humidity, wind, etc. the estimated temperature and weather conditions maybe predicted.

However, the prediction of the weather would not be completely accurate as there maybe changes in nature that occur. Using modern technology such as satellites , weather can still be predicted


answer:
climate can be predicted. the weather maybe estimated as well as future rainfall, wind, humidity . the climate can be predicted but not completely accurately. The future climate can be predicted through predictions of the future weather


answer:
when there is more carbon in the air, the ocean would produce more evaporation. this would evaporate into the atmosphere and make it warmer-positive feedback.

Opposite to positive feedback , negative feedback would be caused when there is less evaporation and in the end, making the atmosphere colder


answer:
-changing in climate
- global warming / pollution


answer:
the current global climate is not completely stable. as global warming and pollution is increasing, it is changing the climate and thus interfering with the global climate system


answer:
the butterfly effect is where something smalland minor grows to cause something huge and important. A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil and eventually help to cause a snowstorm in Alaska is an example of butterfly effect. 
Although a butterfly flapping its wings is small and may not cause anything big, jiggling the air will contribute to a small change in the wind.
This may eventually grow to get bigger and bigger until something big such as a snowstorm in Alaska occurs.


answer:
as robots are machine that have developed since contemporary society, they have the capability of doing things that is much more difficult for us humans to do. Robots travelling to a different planet in order to collect gold is an example of an activity that humans can't do.

Robots should have stations which would be placed every few meters that could save them from carrying bins or overfilling them. This way , robots will be able to carry gold more efficiently and easily.


answer:
* ways to produce less pollution will help the environment and contribute to less changes with climate.
-less factories and activities that make greenhouse gas must be supported as greenhouse gas contribute to global warming which maybe help change the future climate
-find ways that will not heat the atmosphere as first or not as in the future climate will have gotten much hotter


answer:
Greenhouse gases. They are trapped in the earth's atmosphere heat from the sun that is not reflected back into space. greenhouse gases keep the earth warm and comfortably habitable by humans


answer:
The carbon cycle is the absorbing in the ocean and land and where it goes and whether the plants and animals take any of it in. It keeps the ocean a constant temperature. the carbon goes from the air to the land and the ocean and is forever there


answer:
No weather is short term. Climate is weather in one area over an extended period of time. the climate refers to the conditions be it hot or cold and weather refers to the temperature


answer:
No but you can predict the temperature. weather is one specific time and you can not predict it. you can only make /base judgements from the data


answer:
yes, you can judge from current and past data and predict what is overall going to happen


answer:
when the sun gives us its heat and the ground either absorb it or reflects it back out. The release of heat is the feedback . for example, when an ant goes and collects food, it leaves a trail of scent so other other ants can follow it


answer:
dynamic equilibrium is when there is positive or negative feedback


answer:
results of differences in the climate - good or bad


answer:
yes, it only makes gradual changes over very long periods of time., however, small changes could have very very big impacts. So because of global warming , and the increasing temperature, the climate is subject to change.


answer:
No it is not possible geographically, Brazil isn't even next to Alaska. There are other things that cause way more 'jiggle' like birds ans aeroplanes and basically anything that moves. Blaming it solely on butterflies is not accurate because of so many other factors involved.
A jiggle in the air 'may' cause a slight disruption but for a snowstorm , you need much stronger and constant winds. Butterflies can't even fly in winter if the air is too cold and certainly not at right.
Therefore, it is totally false that the butterflies in Brazil even affect the storms in Alaska


answer:
That robots should have an allocated area and only search within that area so that the robots don't waste time searching areas that have already been done.
The robots are only allowed out within a certain distance of each other so they don't lose communication signals.
Since every single are of ground on the earth has been covered, the robots should return all the gold to the spaceship and if the ship cannot take extra weight the robots will be left behind until another ship comes. assuming there is sunlight due t the existence of solar flares, it seems to be good to have the robots solar powered.
After all of that , all robots should return home and make sure, we don't leave a mark on the other planet (other than digging half of it up)


answer:
A group of scientists have to agree on one theory with enough evidence and present it to the united nations. Places that are going to be directly affected should be 1st priority and plans/actions should take place immediately.
If there is going to be a tax , the amount should be determined by how much you make. ex. if you are a poverty stricken family in Africa-no tax.
-change/diversify our power source
-agree on one standard rule
-be open to change
-power usage limits


answer:
greenhouse gases are a mixture of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases as a result of human activity and natural release of these gases


answer:
the carbon cycle is where carbon atoms from organisms are transferred to other organisms through a series of processes


answer:
they are different. Weather is very dynamic it describes the change in the atmosphere over a shorter period of time. Climate describes the change in the atmosphere over a longer period of time


answer:
no, certain predicted weather course may change due to the influences of other factors, making it difficult to predict.


answer:
yes, the trends of the weather and the many factors including temperature can be used to make an approximation about the climate


answer:
Feedback example in climate system include negative and positive feedback


answer:
Dynamic Equilibrium is where the cycle of the earth's climate is stable and equal


answer:
emergent properties are the accumulative result of various other properties


answer:
Tragedy of commons is where the earth's resources are unequally distributed


answer:
no, rising temperatures make climate warmer and sea levels rise higher them pre-ordered rate


answer:
yes if it is on the correct circumstances. For example, the fire-burning model- the tress burnt according to the density of the fire but the trees  themselves, did not move, however given the right amount it would completely  extinguish the whole forest. In this case, if a butterfly flapped its wings then, if the circumstances one correct and the appropriate weather conditions occur then it is possible that it may cause a snowstorm in Alaska.


answer:
Feedback ->
Robots -> should have protective coating and come attached with a fire extinguisher. they should be given a cooling system so they don't overheat. a method to communicate with other robots so that the robot doesn't dig the same place twice


answer:
- decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
- increasing albedo
- planting more trees
- generating artificial clouds
- have each country switch to nuclear energy


answer:
greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases in the atmosphere like carbon dioxide and H2O water droplets.
greenhouse gases are important because they act as an insulating blanket around the earth that trap some UV rays coming into the atmosphere between it and the earth. if there were no greenhouse gases then the world be at least -30 degree celsius cold


answer:
the carbon cycle is the natural cycle of life and death. for instance, a cow has died. as it decomposes it releases its carbon into the atmosphere and that is used to feed the trees so that they can grow and in turn be eaten figuratively by the cows


answer:
weather is a short - term effect on any surrounding area in a particular place while climate is much more long term and influencing factor of the weather and the ecosystem that lives in its particular region


answer:
weather can be predicted to an extent through use of instrument that can detect humidity, wind speed, rain measures and temperatures. weather can only be predicted to such an extent because of the complex currents in the ocean and air can change weather abruptly


answer:
climate is much more gradual change - it it does at all - and say by observing its progress in a specific area from hundreds of year back it is much easier to predict climate


answer:
an example of feedback in climate systems would be of rising global temperatures. the feedback would then be the temperature taken one could think it as being the effect in 'cause and effect'


answer:
an example of dynamic equilibrium in a climate system could be, for instance when moisture in the air gets over the dynamic equilibrium. to counter this effect and return the air to a state of neutral, it rains


answer:
emergent properties are, properties that become opponent after a set amount of time. for example, the steam when boiling water would be an emergent property


answer:
an example of 'tragedy of common' materials have accumulated and tip the scales of equilibrium


answer:
it is although temperatures are not constant the rise of climate temperatures is constant


answer:
greenhouse gases keep the earth warm by trapping the heat before they are retrieve back into space. some types of greenhouses gases are water vapor and carbon dioxide. If greenhouse gases didn't exist, the world would be approximately 30 degrees cooler and humans would die. The amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is increasing each year due to human activity (more likely) and this will cause global warming, which will make sea levels rise and cause cities to drown, resulting in what it is almost an apocalypse


answer:
In the carbon cycle , carbon atoms are recycled and move around. what was a tree in the 1960s could now be a vegetable due to photosynthesis, and this vegetable could become part of you when you eat it., which could also become feces which gets used as fertilizer, which is absorbed by another tree and the cycle starts again. the carbon cycle is important because it is very efficient method of recycling atoms


answer:
Predicting the climate is easier than predicting the weather because the weather is more accurate and unpredictable. Climate include seasons and average temperature, while weather includes measurement of precipitation , wind and pressure systems and warm fronts. therefore, climate and weather are different things.


answer:
weather can be predicted but only for a few days and even then it would not be very accurate. this is because sudden changes in temperature and wind speed can change locations of storms and heatwaves and other weather events, just like the severe storm being shifted from Sydney to Melbourne a few weeks ago,


answer:
climate can be predicted up to many years. There are many graphs and studies predicting the weather up to 10 years in advance, because climate is not as specific as weather


answer:
CAn I use dot points? on well, YOLO
- higher temperature-lower albedo
-more sun- higher temperature
-higher albedo-lower temperature
more fossil fuels burned-more greenhouse gases-higher temeprature-Global warming BAD


answer:
Seasons- Spring -summer, autumn, winter
the temperature changes , but these are regular and constant


answer:
I do not know what the 'tragedy of the commons' is


answer:
No, the global temperature is rising and when something is moving, it is the opposite of stable.


answer:
this could be possible , but very improbable, because it would mean that a single movement of anything could cause storms, tornadoes, cyclones and other wind events all over the world. Clearly this is not happening, so in conclusion, the butterfly effect does not exist


answer:
this is very similar to the model of the ants finding food and I think the robots should follow the same strategy. when a robot finds gold, it should leave a signal or trail, keeping more robots find gold. This signal should not last for too long, otherwise other robots will follow the trail where the gold has already been discovered, resulting in many sad robots. The trail will become stronger as other robots find gold and will fade as the amount of gold diminishes, just like the ants with their food.


answer:
Honestly we should fins a way to get rid of fossil fuels, because they seem to be the main cause of the greenhouse gases and global warming. We need to find more sustainable sources of energy like solar , kinetic or wind  and we should reduce the amount of aerosol cans to reduce CFCs, if that hasn't been done yet. We should also limit the use of technology and make unsustainable energy sources more expensive and make sustainable resources cheaper to influence more people to use sustainable resources. If possible, we could even make people (This is ridiculous example) run on treadmills to power the electricity in their homes. This would reduce the amount of overweight people in the world and also have more sustainable energy resulting in a better world.


answer:
our world is too big for any puff of air from a butterfly's wings to help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. any wind could sweep it up in its own current and displace it

a puff of air from a butterfly's wings - no matter how large - simply cannot help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. even in comparison, the zophyr  of air cannot compare to the 100km/h winds that are needed to cause any snowstorm. it is impossible for this to happen.

 the puff of air from a butterfly's wings will do eventually dissipate from fiction by other wind anyway

a butterfly flapping it's wings in Brazil cannot jiggle the air enough to help cause a snowstorm in Alaska


answer:
the robots should spread out in a grid shape and scout the land by moving in a set pattern, all at once so that the distance between the robots are constant

their movements should go from one side of their assigned grid, turn around and move back to their starting side. this is to be repeated until the robot behind is in the space previously by the robot that was in front of it.

this would be the most effective way at finding all the gold on the planet since their grid-formation would be constant and well spaced. robots diagonal to any other robot should be in the robots sensor range

this is an example of how, individually, the robots are doing their own actions, but on a macro scale are working together even if they can't communicate to each robot on the planet. they work together to form a bigger picture


answer:
- burn less fossil fuel
- actually try and understand how it can affect us
- keep an equilibrium
-be aware of the climate fluctuations
-don't fall asleep in the discussion. they're important
-try and see the macro picture to how climate change can affect the world
- implement a plan on how to manage limited resources like coal and oil
    * look to other alternatives like geothermic, nuclear, solar, hydro and wind power 
- think long term
- educate people on the importance of understanding climate change


answer:
greenhouse gases are gases that are released into the atmosphere via the greenhouse effect


answer:
the carbon cycle is the cycle in which CO2 atoms flow in the atmosphere . the cycle is important because it warms the earth and provides us with oxygen


answer:
climate is s combination of pressure, precipitation, temperature, etc. over a long period of time. weather is the same, but for the shorter period of time. weather is forecasted daily


answer:
weather can be predicted with the use of a barometer,so yes.


answer:
climate may be predicted up to certain extent, but is not always accurate, so yes


answer:
an example of feedback in a climate system is the chemical track left behind by ants, as it acts as a sort of route for other ants to follow, also bringing them back to their nest.


answer:
no, as temperature globally are currently rapidly rising


answer:
no, it's not possible. the tiny amount of force given off by a butterfly flapping it's wings wouldn't even contribute to a thousandth of the force needed to generate a snowstorm, let alone one hundreds of kilometres aways. the size of the butterfly's wings is incomparable to the size of the snowstorm itself, so why and how would one contribute to a snowstorm that are away? the force of hundred butterflies flapping their wings wouldn't do, so i am very doubtful about the power of one making any difference, if at all.


answer:
programmers for the robots would need to keep in mind that the robots could crash into each other and potentially cause destruction if not handled properly. in order to combat this they would need to maybe follow a rule ensuring that they stay at least a certain distance away from each other. also, in order to uncover 'large deposits' of gold, their individual bins may have to be able to hold large quantities of gold. they also may have to be engineered to be able to dig deep enough to find the gold, and will need  to be able to store it in suitable conditions for it to arrive back at earth in pristine condition.. the gold should also be handled with care, as some of it is very fragile and prone to breakage/damaging.


answer:
form the information gathered from the various computer models i viewed in class, i would recommend placing a limit on the amount and rate of fossil fuel burning. i would also recommend the planting of large numbers of trees. i would think that the implication of carbon taxes across as many countries as possible would also work in reducing individual carbon footprint levels globally, and help save the planet.


answer:
greenhouse gases in this world that have an effect on the environment. they are important because it affects our environment


answer:
the carbon cycle is the cycle of carbon that goes round our earth no matter what the carbon in this atmosphere stays -> so the cycle is that no matter where the carbon is -> temporarily, it is forever there hence, cycle!

important because it's got to do with this environment that we live in and could potentially affect our climate...


answer:
no! weather is whether it's sunny, or cold etc. climate is wet, dry , 19 degree C


answer:
to a certain extent. but not always accurate. for example, they can only predict roughly a week beforehand., and even then they could be wrong because it is always changing.


answer:
well. i guess.. to a certain extent because if you know the weather and the temperature, then the climate could be predicted.


answer:
when something is happening that causes for more or less things to happen.
for example ; positive feedback -> wind and heat


answer:
examples of dynamic equilibrium in climate system are when:...... sorry not sure


answer:
examples of emergent properties are in climate system are when ....


answer:
examples of 'tragedy of the common' in climate system are


answer:
the current global climate system is not that stable... because it is changing constantly


answer:
in my belief, a butterfly flapping it's wings in Brazil will not ... jiggle the air and help cause a snowstorm in Alaska.
this is because even if it was true that a butterfly flapping it's wings in Brazil might jiggle the air, it would not be so intense that a snowstorm would be caused in Brazil.. LET ALONE ALASKA as it would not even reach that far, and if you think about it, what about people or machines that moves things up and done. i'm sure that there are many different things in this world that have much more intense, capability to .. jiggle the air.. and even then, it will not cause a snowstorm in Alaska.
this theory is silly and could not even be possible unless perhaps every single micro -metre of Brazil was to be covered with flapping butterflies


answer:
apart from having a sensor to detect the gold, a scoop to dig up the gold and carrying bin to hold the amounts of gold, they should also designate an area for each robot to be searching in, so that robots don't all go to the same places.
this way it will be done more efficiently and much faster!
 they should also make a sort of sensor that says, when one robot has filled up their bags with gold and then another robot signals that there isn't much gold in their area and get matched together in order to fill up the bags with more gold


answer:
make drastic change that everyone is actually going to listen to rather than all these small little things like carbon taX that people actually wouldn't listening to.
people running businesses will still be (using/making) .. CARBON the only thing is that they won't have as much money because they will be paying carbon tax, so just pick on something else, that people will think - 'oh , i cam do that' . because one it's here we can't go backwards with carbon....


answer:
they are the mixtures of gases which envelope the earth . they are important as they trap solar radiation , which keep the earth warm


answer:
the carbon cycle is the movement of carbon through different forms and spheres. It is important because it is essential for life and also keeps some carbon trapped which deter the earth from heating up too much


answer:
weather and climate are different as weather is the state of atmosphere at any given point in time and climate is the state of the atmosphere over an extended period of time


answer:
yes, it can be predicted to ac certain extent as scientists can observe wind patterns and cloud formation and deduce a pattern , therefore predicting the weather and conditions


answer:
It can be predicted , but often not accurately as climate can be quite erratic in behavior. However, trends can be observed such as temperature , which can then aaid and the logical deduction for future climate, however, it is difficult to gauge the accuracy


answer:
albedo. ex. when the albedo is low , the land radiates heat, heating particles in the air which in turn raise the temperature of the earth. The input would be the sun's radiation and the output would be the earth's temperature


answer:
It can be shown in the carbon cycle . for example, the amount of carbon in the oceans and atmosphere stays roughly the same (without any external influences), but since the particles are constantly in motion ( in changing forms)it is dynamic


answer:
When a pattern is emerging on a macro level, ex., the seasons would have been observed as emergent properties as it would have been observed that plants behaved differently during certain times of the year. ex., in Autumn trees would have shed their leaves.


answer:
when the equilibrium is disrupted due to external influences , ex., human activity


answer:
No it is not, it is changing as a result of the effect our activities have on the environment


answer:
It is not possible that the butterfly jiggling the air in Brazil would help cause a snowstorm in Alaska, as this would be in too small of a scale and the force exerted by the butterfly's wings could be too small and weak to actually help create a snowstorm in Alaska. The distance is also too great between the countries. However, it is possible that the air moved by the butterfly's wings would feature in the snowstorm in Alaska, due to air currents and wind, however, it is unlikely that it would help cause the snowstorm in Alaska


answer:
Robots should only ever stay within range of a certain group of assigned robots., which will increase the effectiveness of the operation as it will waste less energy, because the robots will have communicated to others about where gold has been found. It will also be more efficient as if a robot breaks down, it would not be alone in uncharted area and therefore the gold in that area would not be discovered. There would be plenty of other robots to make up for the loss of one robot. the robots would therefore also become responsible for certain areas. the robots should also have a program installed within them to find an area without gold and communicate to certain number of robots, which will increase efficiency as the robots would not have to head back to the ship everytime


answer:
-plant a lot more trees
-implement more carbon policies, ex. there is only a certain amount of carbon dioxide that is country can emit and companies buy parts of this emission, fines apply if this amount of emission is exceeded
- create a lower albedo in affected areas, artificial ice floor, ice? 
-mass production of vehicles which instigate do not use fossil fuel
-invert a scrubber type device for carbon dioxide?


answer:
Greenhouse gases include water vapor and carbon dioxide and they are important because it is the fluctuations of these gases that cause the changes in earth's temperature


answer:
the carbon cycle is the cycle of the carbon dioxide in the earth. It is when carbon in the air is absorbed by trees , the trees die, gradually forming deposits of coal and the coal is burnt , releasing all the carbon dioxide . this is important because the changes of the amount of carbon dioxide in the air also is one of the causes of global warming


answer:
weather is short term an is in regards to a certain area
climate is the weather of a certain area over a period of time


answer:
weather can be predicted to an extent , following the patterns from the past , but a slight change in wind will change everything . If the day was going to be sunny , gusts of wind could blow rain clouds and cause the day to be overcasts


answer:
climate can be predicted due to the fact that as the position of an area will not change, the climate will stay relatively the same.


answer:
when water feedback rises so thus the temperature and when the temperature rises , the water feedback does as well , and this continuing in a feedback system. A feedback system is when the change of one thing will affect another and that will change another and so on, creating either positive or negative feedback


answer:
when the earths resources are unequally distributed


answer:
current global climate are relatively stable. however, the amount of C02 burnt varies the temperature. The depletion of earth's resources are placing the global climate in decline


answer:
No, the butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can not cause a snowstorm in Alaska. If according to this hypothesis, every butterfly flapping its wings would cause a snowstorm , which would probably be several thousands if not million of snowstorms , yet Alaska has not been buried under the snow yet.
While air currents can travel large distances , the gust of wind produced by the movement of the butterfly's wings would not have stayed the same. It would have dissipated , gotten stronger or have gone off to a different direction altogether. Due to the reasons stated above, I believe, the hypothesis to be theoretically imposible


answer:
this system is simple. However, it needs a  positive feedback system in which the robots mine the gold and bring it back. The robot much like an ANT colony , should excrete a chemical when a deposit of gold is found, alerting the other robots to the gold. This way it would create an effective and efficient way to find gold. Should have a shared installed map of a planet installed and place a marker on areas with deposits of gold and mark it once again when the gold is mined


answer:
-should reduce the amount of coal burnt as the excess of C02 in the atmosphere is causing an unbalance natural forces (ex, temperature. if the temperature goes up, then so does the water feedback continuing in a loop., increase in C)2 also proven to be greenhouse gas, which then contributes to global warming.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases that are trapped in the earth's atmosphere by the ozone layer


answer:
the carbon cycle is the movement of carbon between the biosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere. the carbon cycle is a closed system


answer:
Weather is the measure of temperature , wind air pressure, etc. over a short period of time, whereas, climate is a measure of temperature, wind air pressure, etc. over a prolonged period of time. This data is then averaged.


answer:
yes, though the recording and collection of satellite data , it is possible to predict the weather


answer:
after recording and collecting weather samples over decades and centuries , it is possible to find a trend and therefore predict climate. you have to factor in the depletion of the ozone layer as well as the carbon cycle.


answer:
examples of feedback in climate systems include ...There are 2 types of feedback positive and negative


answer:
examples of dynamic equilibrium in climate systems include the decrease of sheep and the increase of foxes. As one rises, the other decreases so it maintains a balance


answer:
when the earth's resources are unevenly distributed


answer:
it is not stable , due to the depletion of the ozome layer and the increasing C02 emissions . the melting ice caps cause sea levels to rise and the increase in C02 , the depletion of the ozone layer are causing temperatures to rise.


answer:
No the idea of emergent properties . As it would travel across the ocean it would encounter the sea breeze , effect which would counteract the butterfly flap. ( i believe that this phenomena is incorrect because , starships are meant to fly...it never said butterflies were)


answer:
-it is an example of feedback , the feedback in this example is positive . the robots should travel in a pack and always be within the relatively small distance of another.
- always use protection and
-one robot policy (can they breed?prevent over population and
-back up generator (in-case power failure)
- scan the whole planet and put down smokes in marking places  with gold


answer:
-try to equal earth's natural resources (3rd world countries- tragedies of the commons)
-increase carbon tax
-increase toll (people use cars less and public transport more, less C02 emissions
-Caring is sharing (care bears)


answer:
It can not be possible that a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus will create a snowstorm in Alaska.There are multiple reasons as to why. Firstly, there could be multiple butterflies in Brazil flapping their wings right now and possible everyday but that does not mean that there is a snowstorm everyday. Also s snowstorm is a natural disaster and is created from specific conditions in the climate and weather. If a butterfly was to flap its wings while it is summer in Alaska, there is absolutely no chance that temperature would fly to sub-zero temperature in an instant


answer:
Firstly, the robots need to have a distinct map or image of the all planet's surface. they need to know where they need to go and also the amount of area that needs to be covered. Humans must also know where each of the robot are . The robots can not see or have minds of themselves to make logical decisions in which direction to go. 
if the humans wanted to be extra careful and dedicated to finding gold, they would send a first wave of robots travelling in a straight line (next to each other, not behind) to cover all surfaces first. Then a second wave to go over where the first wave of robots have been so that no gold is left behind.
Each robot should mark the place where they have already been so they can't go there again. Robots should be split into groups and a assigned to a certain area


answer:
Recommendations for a climate policy could be that before any major factory or any other mass producer of C02 is built, the amount of C02 it produces should be approximately measured and place in a area where carbon is more likely to be absorbed. So for example, closer to the oceans or masses of trees. countries also should be more aware of the amount of C02 produced each year . make future predictions of the climate, measurement and recording should be regularly recorded for sun ray levels, C02 levels. Absorption of C02  by oceans / amount of cloud cover  and compare the measurements to see the relationships between them and observe the impacts they make


answer:
greenhouse gases are the many different types of gases that are present in the earth's atmosphere - (e.g carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen .etc)
  they are important as they act as 'layer' that determines the Earth's temperature, and affect the climate.


answer:
the carbon cycle is the continuous recycling of carbon being changed from one form to another being 'evaporated' up to the atmosphere and then 'absorbed' back down, where it stays for a while before being once again 'evaporated'
it is important because it demonstrates exactly what the over -released carbons from the burning of fossil fuel is doing to the earth. it shows how more carbon is being released and less is being re-cycled, thus increasing over earth's temperature.


answer:
they are different. 
weather refers to the conditions due to the changing air currents. it refers to conditions such as rain,storms, hail, etc. while climate, refers more to the temperature and physical state the earth's in for an extended period of time.


answer:
it can only be predicted about a week ahead of time, due to the random changes in air current direction and flow, and even that is not 100% accurate since air current flow varies so much


answer:
i think climate can be estimated, by studying records and by finding emerging trends. the predictions would be more of an estimate though, since trends could be affected at anytime..


answer:
the sun's rays are absorbed as heat on Earth, and the albedo reflects and absorbs this, which simultaneously cools down and heats up the earth. when it heats the earth up, it is giving a positive feedback.


answer:
as heat builds up on Earth, due to more heat being absorbed and less being released back into space, the temperature on earth rises. the rising of temperature also causes the amount of water vapour to increase which would in turn cause more cloud cover which again encourages the entrapment of heat within the earth, thus increasing the temeperature again


answer:
they are patterns that emerge from looking at results at a closer-scale.
for example, as the earth's temperature rises so does the amount of water vapour evaporated. also, as more carbon is released, the temperature on earth rises


answer:
currently it is not stable, temperatures on earth are undoubtedly increasing, due to the huge amounts of carbon released from the burning of fossil fuels. this over released of carbon disrupts the balance of gases that make up our greenhouse gases, meaning more heat from the sun is absorbed and less is able to escape back to space. as a result our global temperature rise, causing more cloud cover, therefore even more heat being absorbed and not being released, which again in turn increases the global temperature


answer:
greenhouse gases are air particles in the atmosphere that help trap warmth from the sun in the earth. without greenhouse gases , the earth's temperature would not be habitable as it would be too cold .Greenhouse gases consists of particles such as carbon dioxide and water vapor


answer:
The carbon cycle is the amount is the amount of carbon that exist in the earth, which we have studied in many of the models and followed a carbon molecule . the carbon cycle cycles the amount of carbon on earth so that it travels both through the air and with complex systems can be absorbed as a part of tree's entity or a sheep . The carbon also can be part of the water and continues to move around on the earth as a part of the bigger system , the carbon cycle is important because it helps balance the amount of carbon in a dynamic equilibrium as things are always moving and move the carbon with them


answer:
similar but different. weather is like part of the climate, whereas, climate is looking at earth's condition at a larger scale , weather is only looking at a particular part of the earth for a smaller range of time. Climate considers all aspects of condition for a long period of time and summaries the condition , weather takes like humidity , are temperature into account (wet, dry) and summaries the aspects , what are the conditions would be like in a small period of time more specifically, rain, sunny, so on.


answer:
weather can be predicted through the use of satellites , looking at the pattern of cloud and measuring wind pressure. However, you can predict weather only when the time to predict is real, because many of the earths pattern are highly unpredictable and subject to change


answer:
no, not quite. It is possible to construct a model that may happen the future, but because earth's condition are highly subject to change , a proper prediction that is educated guess be difficult to conduct


answer:
examples of feedback in climate system is like when heat from the sun enters the earth atmosphere and warms the temperature. The feedback, the temperature that rises would melt the albedo that exists on the earth's surface, which would be the factor that helps cool down the earth by reflecting the sun's warmth. The warming temperature would be an example of positive feedback , as it pushes the cycle from dynamic equilibrium by decreasing  and continually rising temperatures


answer:
dynamic equilibrium in climate systems is when every aspect of the system is at a balance., the feedback that are negative continue to prevent the system from over balancing and reaching a tipping point. An example, of dynamic equilibrium in climate system is like when the greenhouse gases and albedo of the earth help balance out the extreme rise in temperature and the greenhouse gases trapping a part of the reflected heat on earth through this they manage to sustain the balance moderate temperature


answer:
emergent properties are properties that emerge on a larger scale so when smaller parts in their own individual systems play their role, it produces an emergent that contributes to a dynamic equilibrium or balance. This can be found happening in the sea breeze and difference in temperature between the ocean surface and earth's surface. Because each property has different temperatures, the difference created produces a cooling effect on the land carried by wind. this overall produces a balanced temperature on land, being the emergent property


answer:
The tragedy of commons so like the tipping point of a climate system, when a positive feedback is received and when it reaches a certain point pushes the system to only one side of the balance. this can happen when heat from the sun enters the earth and due to rising temperatures would melt the albedo therefore leading to the temperatures growing higher and higher. This can also happen , vice versa, when the albedo reflects too much warmth , therefore resulting in a very cold temperature and forming more albedo


answer:
currently, the global climate system is quite stable. this is because effect produces by human in concerns of carbon and temperatures has not fully collapsed the system. However, if we continue the action that had been taken , the global climate system will most likely reach a tipping point where temperatures reaches very high and melt the reflecting albedo on earth. Therefore, overall it can be argued that essentially the system is not quite stable because of the excess of the production of carbon dioxide


answer:
at the current point in time, i do not believe that a butterfly could 'that greatly' affect the air current. However it could be possible at a point in the near future, it our global climate continues to unstabilise. air current flow and direction is already very inconsistent, and an unstable climate is only going to further increase its unpredictable nature, which could also mean that an animal or even butterfly could possibly 'jiggle' the air in one place of the world enough for it to start 'domino effecting' surrounding air currents thus causing severe storms in different parts of the world, such as Alaska.


answer:
they should be made with devices that will alert other robots,when one finds gold, so that the process is quicker, more efficient and more productive. this is similar to how ants work, how they take in food and release a chemical trail, on the way to find even more food, and this chemical acts as a trail for surrounding ants to follow to find food, meaning that more food is collected at one time.


answer:
the increase of forestation slowly reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the air,(photosynthesis), which means that if we plant more trees, while we are still in the process of finding solutions, we can still gradually decrease or at least maintain the more constant climate.
Obviously less fossil fuel burning released less carbons, so if we place more restrictions and/or limitations of the amount of fossil fuels countries can burn, it could also greatly reduce its negative effects


answer:
when looking at all the climate system at a macro level scale, it is very difficult to determine whether a butterfly flapping its wings can actually create a snowstorm in Alaska. There is slight chance in my opinion that this can happen, however, i think this concept relates to emergent properties quite significantly and therefore when a lot of butterflies playing their roles as part of their individual systems and flapping wings in Brazil could contribute adding wind , and so when looked at large scale, is likely to have helped produce a snowstorm in Alaska maybe not fully but helped increase the strength etc.


answer:
in order to keep the robots with the ability to communicate with one another without being disrupted by solar flares, it would be essential that the robots are supplies with the program of knowing not to travel too far away from each other, and staying within the maximum distance that they all can reach , therefore, covering a certain amount of area it would be important that we link the robots and make sure they travel groups. Additionally, robots much be programmed so that they are able to direct themselves back to the spaceship.


answer:
it would be essential that temperature should not reach a certain in many parts of the world, so that there is no positive feedback pushing systems out of balance. Furthermore, if there is an imbalance that occurs, ( i.e. albedo melting)it would be necessary that we have a back up plan to support the dynamic equilibrium of the system such as cooling system ( eg. no carbon day/week and other events)to push close tipping point to revert to its balance state. we could also introduce a world public holiday where we support awareness for the need of a balanced system.


answer:
greenhouse gases are gases emitted from the earth. They help keep our temperature, climate and atmosphere at stable levels . they are natural gases


answer:
the carbon cycle is the movement of a carbon atom in the atmosphere from the instance an animal, to a tree, into the sea and then back into the atmosphere, the importance of the carbon cycle is that it is a dynamic equilibrium because the carbon is always in the atmosphere and never dies or disappears.


answer:
weather is the temperature of a location over a shorter period of time, while climate includes the weather , humidity, rainfall, wind speed, etc. over a longer period of time and averages it out


answer:
weather can be predicted by weather ologist by the use of scientific equipment and utensils to farewell the upcoming weather.


answer:
climate can also be predicted by averaging out the weather of a specific location over an extended period of time


answer:
some examples of feedback in a climate system are for example the density of a forest during bushfire. this is because the density of the forest will then affect the percentage of forest burned


answer:
an example of a dynamic equilibrium in a climate system is the carbon cycle. this is because the carbon never dies or disappears, but just moves around in the atmosphere, it is always present in the atmosphere


answer:
emergent properties can appear an extended period of time of doing something. for example when freezing water is eventually becomes ice.


answer:
An example of tragedy of the commons could be humans polluting the earth and causing dis-balances in dynamic equilibrium


answer:
a current global climate system is stable because our ozone layer is still reasonably protective and helps keep our temperature's somewhat stable. Though if we keep on using the world  as we are now the global climate system will become more and more unstable due to humans using too many fossil fuels and exploiting the environment


answer:
I don't believe this is a positive that a little butterfly flapping its tiny wings could cause a snowstorm in Alaska. Perhaps if there were already many powerful contributions to the snowstorm the butterfly flapping its wings could help cause a  snowstorm in Alaska.
To create a snowstorm there would also have to be extreme weather conditions as well as powerful winds. The force emitted from a butterfly , flapping its wings is no where near the power needed to trigger a snowstorm.

To conclude, it would be very unlikely for a Brazilian butterfly to cause a snowstorm though perhaps the force from numerous butterflies could contribute to the triggering of a snow storm in Alaska


answer:
On the distant once the robots have landed they should all spread out and search in separate areas for gold in order to attain as much as possible. perhaps the robots should also be separated into smaller groups when they're searching for the gold so that they can stay relatively close and communicate with each other easily; because they can only communicate over relatively short distances.
Furthermore, just in case, the robots should be told and designed to not to get violent. because on the planet with no control of humans the robots could end up fighting over a piece of gold.
lastly, the robots should be checked before sending them as to make sure all the settings are correct and that the robots will obey their orders


answer:
Some recommendations for the United Nations committee on the issue of climate policy could be the reduction of fossil fuels use by the human population in order to decrease the C02 levels. 
Another recommendation could be to use more environmentally friendly items to help protect the environment.
Furthermore we could try to keep the grass levels up for animals so that they have a stable supplu of good so they don't become extinct due to lack of food.
Lastly, solar panels could be further encouraged so that more families and households install them. this would also help decrease the levels of fossil fuels being created by humans. 
Though these ways and many more the climate of the world will hopefully improve


answer:
the greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide and water vapor that traps heat that is reflected off the earth. They are important because they keep the temperature of the earth warm enough so that living creatures and ecosystems can thrive/live and plants can grow


answer:
the carbon cycle is the process of carbon through the atmosphere, into the ocean , back into the atmosphere, converted into oxygen through plants (photosynthesis) so trapped in plants and released again. It is a constant cycle where the carbon is not destroyed not transferred and shared


answer:
they are different. Weather is the predicted temperature of the day whereas climate is found based on weather over a long period of time.


answer:
Yes, weather can be predicted through such tools , the weather balloons and satellites which show the change in weather


answer:
yes, climate can be predicted from weather at the part which is then combined with statistics of the present( ex. fossil fuel usage) to predict what the climate maybe in the future


answer:
one example for feedback on climate system is the output/input of sun radiation which is then absorbed and released back into space as infrared depending on cloud cover and other factors (this is negative feedback as it rises to put it back into a dynamic equilibrium)


answer:
An example is the cycle where without any other factors such as fossil fuel burning. There is a balance in climate system where temperatures are relatively similar and carbon is on a constant cycle through the atmosphere , the oceans and the living things


answer:
examples of emergent properties include dust particles which are seen to move on a circular motion with the wind which is caused by the rising and falling of hot air when temperatures rise. We see this pattern when there is more than one dust particle because of the behavior of the particles as a group


answer:
an example of tragedy of commons  in climate systems is farming where everyone farms a lot., thinking everyone else won't which increases the carbon rising put into the atmosphere, creating a tipping point at which the positive feedback overrules the negative


answer:
it is not very stable with the increasing use of carbon dioxide and burning of fossil fuels which results in rising temperature and more carbon dioxide but the same amount of resources to reduce the carbon on the atmosphere


answer:
I do not believe this is possible because although climate change is occurring which may cause a snowstorm in Alaska, a butterfly flapping its wings will not contribute a lot (of carbon) to climate change and so i don't think a butterfly can cause such great change. The (around) 7 Billion of us humans can as we are constantly burning fossil fuels and putting more carbon into the atmosphere which results in change in climate and weather but a single butterfly can not


answer:
Another strategy that can be used is the idea of a positive feedback loop where when each robot finds gold, it sends out waves to other robots which then also send out waves allowing more robots to join together at the same place to retrieve the gold. this is like the ants model where they diffuse chemicals which allows other ants from other colony to find the food and so creating a ( positive) chain of ants to and from the food until there is none left, when they restart this cycle when an ant find (more) food in a different location.
It should also be noted that the ( diffusion rate or) communication of the robots should be sent more than once and for longer periods of time to increase the chance of more robots finding the gold and receiving the waves which allow it to find to position of the gold


answer:
Some recommendations I would make are;
 firstly, to try to reduce carbon dioxide levels on the case of reducing the burning of fossil fuels because it breaks the carbon cycle and creates negative feedback.
Secondly, to be aware and try to prevent incidents/activity that promotes a tipping point as seen on the water feedback  model, where the temperature increased at alarming rates towards 100 degrees centigrade with no signs of slowing .
Also, I would recommend the observation of patterns of emergence in the climate systems as by these patterns , we may see a change that can be further explored into to figure out solutions to helping decrease carbon levels and improving the climate change problem we currently have.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that trap sunlight in the atmosphere which warms the earth up. when sun rays hit the earth, some are reflected back to space by the albedo effect, but some are trapped on the surface /lower atmosphere by greenhouse gases like C02 . It's important because without it the earth would be very cold


answer:
the carbon cycle is the cycle of C02 , for example if you follow one C02 molecule it is an endless cycle of being produced by burning of fossil fuels , going into the atmosphere , then being absorbed in a tree then when the tree is cut down it goes back into the atmosphere. it is important because without carbon trees wouldn't be able to survive and therefore no oxygen - which means humans wouldn't


answer:
Different, weather is a short term and is very predictable. It is affected by many different factors and can change very quickly. Climate is long term and scientist can predict the climate pretty accurately by looking at different factors


answer:
yes, but not accurately as it can change unpredictably , that is why weather forecasts can often be wrong


answer:
yes, pretty accurately, This is because scientists can look at previous patterns of climate and the variety of factors affecting climate like C02 levels and the amount of greenhouse gases can be used to predict climate


answer:
an example of feedback in climate system would be the ocean's evaporation and the temperatures rising. when the temperature rise , the ocean will evaporate faster. The ice glaciers would also melt , causing lower albedo effect. A lower albedo effect would mean higher temperatures which will cause a cycle. This is a feedback loop. Another example is when temperatures rise, oceans will evaporate faster causing more water vapor in the atmosphere. this will mean ore cloud cover and temperatures will rise due to this . it is a feedback loop


answer:
examples of dynamic equilibrium in climate systems;
temperatures stay relatively stable due to the balanced amount of fossil fuels burning. albedo effect and the amount of sunlight. When they are in scale , temperatures stay in a state of dynamic equilibrium


answer:
yes it is relatively stable now but won't be for much longer. This is because of the excessive amount of fossil fuels being burnt causing the climate system to become unstable.


answer:
A butterfly flapping its wings could possibly help cause a snowstorm in Alaska, by jiggling the air with his wings. this is possible as the tiny air movement caused by the butterfly is air movement nevertheless. The air flow could rise as Brazil is a tropical humid place and warm air rises . the air will get swept up by larger winds and reach Alaska where the air is cold and dense. this could indeed then contribute to some larger winds in Alaska and help a ssnowstorm


answer:
The robots could have a communication system where they leave a trail for the other robots to find when they find gold. When another robot finds the trail they could strengthen it so that others find it also which means hat a lot of robots could help dig up a gold deposit. The trail could be like a radar signal that others can pick up when they are near the vicinity . the signal could fade over time so that robots don't become confused with too many signals. Another rule could be that once all the robots should return and deposit the gold, they found in a big gold bin once theirs is full. This will mean that the robot could keep searching for gold after they fill up their bin so the robot could be as effective and wuick as possible to find all the gold


answer:
I recommend that we minimize and restrict a certain amount of fossil burning as fossil fuel burning only produces more C02, a greenhouse gas. More greenhouse gases will mean temperatures rising and ice caps melting causing a lessened albedo effect which will only  heat up the earth more.
Another recommendation is that we provide more environmentally friendly ways of energy, like solar power instead of fossil fuel burning. it will reduce the waste and C02 levels currently in the atmosphere and will be good for the climate long term

answer:
-Freeze carbon dioxide to make dry ice, bury in Central Australia/anywhere that isn't inhabited, or send to mars where their polar caps are made of dry ice.
-Use nuclear energy+bury in the places.
-Stop politicians arguing about refuges and stop being money hungry, selfish and unwilling to find what's best for the common good.
-Reward households for the carbon emissions?


answer:
I don't think it's possible.
A tiny butterfly thousands of km away from Alaska wouldn't cause a snowstorm. You probably wouldn't even feel wind in Brazil from the butterfly.
It could be a metaphor for exess carbon use in one country affecting another country though...(tragedy of the commons).


answer:
-Should be able to find its way back to the spaceship when its carrying bin is full and proceed to find more gold.
-Should never be able to be too close to another robot to make the gold searching efficient (work in their own areas).
-Maybe work as a team (searchers and robots who bring back the gold to the spaceship to work productively.


answer:
carbon gases are gases like the carbon dioxide and water vapor that trapped within the earth's atmosphere. they are important because they play a big role in the temperature of the earth and the level of C02 in the atmosphere


answer:
the carbon cycle is the cycle of a carbon molecule travels on the earth. it could be absorbed by the ocean , land on a tree or stay flowing in the atmosphere. it is important because this cycle of carbon sculpts the level of C02 in the air


answer:
weather and climate are two different things. weather is a description of a plac and its conditions at a specific time, climate is a description of a vast area over a long period of time


answer:
yes, to some extent. weather can be told by looking at the types of winds ( cold/warm fronts) coming in


answer:
climate can be predicted by looking at the history of the past and by looking at the conditions of the prresent


answer:
examples of feedback is the burning of trees an the density of the forest. this cycle feeds back on itself. the higher the density , the quicker the rate at which the trees will burn


answer:
dynamic equilibrium is the balance between oceanic C02 and atmospheric C02


answer:
it is rising steadily but could change dramatically . the emission of C02 increases the temperature of the earth and therefore causes the climate gradually get warmer


answer:
I don't think that it is possible for a snowstorm to occur in Alaska if a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil. First of all, Alaska and Brazil have a very large distance between them and the strength of a butterfly flapping its wings is not enough to cause the change in wind patterns and create a snowstorm in Alaska. Secondly, a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a snowstorm in Alaska is not ideal because what if there was a whole group of butterflies all flapping their wing together? these are the reasons why i don't think that a butterfly flapping its wings can help cause snowstorm in Alaska


answer:
Let some robots follow the other robots like the ant model. and let the robots flock together and move in mass amounts like the bird model


answer:
with climate change escalating day by day, below are some recommendations of the the slowing down climate change and perhaps even preventing it.
1. monitor the factory use of carbon dioxide to an extent that when a factory exceeds it emissions of C02. it is no longer allowed to produce any of its products.
2. people who breach the limit of carbon dioxide emissions have to pay more tax


answer:
These are gases that are released into the atmosphere, either due to human activity or naturally. these gases cause a greenhouse effect, when in the atmosphere-they allow heat in, but don't allow it back out. if there are too many greenhouse gases the earth will keep warming up as no heat would be release


answer:
the carbon cycle is a repetitive cycle that occurs in nature. for example, carbon dioxide in the air cools down and is absorbed by water. the heats up the water and C02 and the C02 is released back into the air. These continues to happen again and again


answer:
no they are not. weather is the immediate characteristics of an area such as cloudy , rainy , windy. while climate is the long-term characteristics such as tropical , dry, etc.


answer:
weather  can be predicted but only days at a time as it is quite unpredictable and is influenced by many factors


answer:
yes, climate can be predicted as it is along term characteristics , so statistics over a long period of time can be used to predict future climate


answer:
an example is the input of the sun's rays and the output od the overall rise in temperature. when the temperature rises more greenhouse gases are released , this leads to more heat being sustained which leads to an overall increase in temperature


answer:
for example C02 is heated in the water and it rises, which decreases the amount of C02 in the water. however, C02 that has cooled in the air sinks, again, leveling out the level of C02 in the water


answer:
emergent properties are when pattern emerges in nature due to individual behaviors


answer:
yes it is stable, there is a gradual rise in the overall temperature of the world


answer:
yes, it is possible. For example, if a person picks up a worm lying on the ground, the kind that was going to eat that worm would die of hunger and so would its chicks. because those chicks died a feral bobcat also starves because it doesn't get to eat those chicks. because of decomposition of the bobcat, the soil would get nutrition and plants will flourish, more oxygen will be released in the air. If that happens all the creatures on earth will continue to live. all of this possible because of a human who picked up a worm he/she saw along the way


answer:
the robots should have a sensor that tells them if they have already been in that area and dad cleaned it. then they should tell the next robot they meet and that robot should tell the next robot if it meets and so on. after their bins are filled , they should go back to the ship and empty their bins, all the while spreading words of areas that has been searched. the robots should travel in threes . One robot would communicate with other groups and the other two would sense and dig the gold , just in case one robot miss some gold.


answer:
carbon emissions should be reduced., especially on days with high cloud cover to minimize the rise in temperature, as C02 acts as a catalyst in the natural rise and fall of overall temperature. Instead of allowing the earth to cool, it increases the amount of greenhouse and gases and allows less heat to escape from the atmosphere, thus acting as a catalyst in the gradual rise of temperature


answer:
greenhouse gases are gasses such as carbon , that gets trapped in the atmosphere. they are important as they play a major role in keeping heat on earth


answer:
the carbon cycle is the movement of carbon and all its different states throughout all the spheres(biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere). the carbon cylce is important as it is part of our every day lives and all living things are affected by carbon. If the carbon is affected in one sphere, all the other spheres are affected too


answer:
weather and climate are not the same. Weather is the conditions present on a short time period, whilst climate is the average weather conditions over a long period of time.


answer:
yes, weather can be predicted using hot air balloons and satellite images, etc. it can be predicted but the predictions may not entirely be accurate


answer:
no climate can not be predicted. we can make an educated guess about climate but it can not be predicted as climate takes place over a long period of time and there maybe different variables that may affect the climate that we may not even know of.


answer:
feedback in climatic systems can include
-melting of polar ice caps due to the earth warming. this leads to higher sea level.
-plants and animals flourish more in some climatic systems due to the fact that they may like rhe average weather conditions and rainfall in the place.


answer:
I believe that the climatic system is stable but only for a short period of time. If we continue living this way, the average global temperatures will rise and it will be livable for a while but when the temperature of the earth rises to much , it will eventually affect all the populations on this earth.


answer:
I do not believe that a butterfly jiggling the air in Brazil can cause such a large event as snowstorm in Alaska. I believe that other factors such as wind patterns and weather patterns would cause the snowstorm in the Alaska. If something so small could create such a large event then what would happen if a whole flock of butterflies gathered together and flapped their wings?


answer:
if you limit the robots to a small areas for a set amount of time and then allocate tehm to another small section and another small sectio  until all the surface area on that planet is covered. this way the robots can communicate with each other whilst making sure that they cover all of the land.


answer:
tax companies for the amount of carbon they use or limit the use of the amount of carbon , a company can use. This way the company will be more careful about using carbon and will try to find alternatives. Also the money collected from these companies can be invested in many things. some of which can be used on finding and setting up alternatives for burning fossil fuels to create electricity. In the diagrams, we have seen that the more fossil fuels the we burn, the higher the avergae temperature of the earth will get. this is on way that we can help prevent this planet from being unlivable.


answer:
greenhouse gases are gases that are in the atmosphere and keep the heat from escaping the earth. they are important so that we don;t freeze to death


answer:
the carbon cycle is a cycle where things release carbon and other things such as trees use this carbon to put back oxygen so that other forms if life on the earth can use it and turn it back into carbon


answer:
weather and climate are different. weather is thw remperature and conditions at a place for a temporary amount of time eg. a stormy day would be because of the weather. but the climate is the temperature of a place for a long period of time


answer:
weather can be predicted by weather patterns on other parts of the earth, accurate to about a week in advance


answer:
climate is not really predicted. it stays the same almost all of the time, hence why it is such a big deal the small changes now


answer:
i don't really understand the concept of feedback


answer:
dynamic equilibrium is where the carbon from the earth an =d the atmosphere is contantly moving and therefore 'dynamic' and yet there is a total amount which is always the same between them


answer:
the current climate system is not really stable as we are releasing carbon into the atmosphere that should not be there and it is working as a greenhouse has to warm up the earth


answer:
i do not think that this is possible as the air displacement from the butterfly flapping its wings would not get greater as it travels away from brazil and would certainly not be able to cause a snowstorm on another continent


answer:
i really didn't understand the climate models enough to be able to make a recommendation


answer:
Greenhouse gases are warm gases produced and put out into the atmosphere and is kept in by the ozone layer in order to keep the earth at a temperature warm enough for life to exist.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the process of carbon going through each sphere of the earth, such as the atmosphere, biosphere etc. It is important for it keeps the carbon circulating around areas where it may be needed, and then again equilises the level of carbon in each system.


answer:
Weather and climate are different for weather is a short term condition whilst climate is a long term, more general condition.


answer:
Yes weather can be predicted through the use of satellite technology etc, however it can never be a 100% correct for it can change very easily.


answer:
Climate can also be predicted however its accuracy may not be as great as weather as it is trying to predict the conditions further in the future.


answer:
Examples of feedback include such things as the water feedback.The water feedback is the process of water which is being an output also becomes an input and moves around the spheres of the earth.


answer:
An example of dynamic equillibrium in the system is the level of carbon. Changes in the amount of fossil fuel use will change the level of carbon in the system in areas such as the atmosphere and biosphere as well as in the ocean, however eventually they will meet a point where they run parallel to each other-like they did before the change was made. This is called dynamic equillibrium.


answer:
I believe the current global system is stable as we are continuing to use fossil fuel at a steady pace, not causing very many, sudden changes to the climate system. However on a larger scale of time, the current global climate system is most likely in amidst the change due to urbanisation, ie increased use of fossil fuels.


answer:
Particles, like C02 in the atmosphere, which trap heat from the sun's rays. They are what keeps plants and animals alive.


answer:
Carbon particles travelling randomly through the air and ocean. It warms up the atmosphere as well as the ocean.


answer:
Different,weather is the state of atmosphere at a particular state of time, while climate is throughout.


answer:
Yes, though it is not always accurate as weather conditions can change rapidly.


answer:
Yes, climate always remains the same and hardly changes unless if we causing lots of things that make change.


answer:
The atmosphere changing in response to a human action, for example the temperature rising.


answer:
When the temperature, or another aspect of the weather, stays the same in the long run but has little variations from day to day. E.g: temperature flucatuating a little daily but the average staying the same for the long run.


answer:
When a the pattern of an aspect of the weather is revealed.


answer:
When the weather conditions change enough to kill off all the living parts of the biosphere.


answer:
No, it is rising up due to the many changes we are causing.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle that recycles our air. The trees take in carbon dioxide and reldase oxygen. It is important to us as without this cycle, we won't have any fresh air to breathe in. It supports all living things on this planet.


answer:
weather and climte are different. weather is  what is seen over a short period of time and can only be predicted up to a week in advance. Climate is seen over a long period of time and can not be predicted as much as weather but can be predicted somewhat looking at datas collected from previous years.


answer:
weather can be predicted. However it can not be predicted as far to a year in advance but only to max week in advance. Hence the job meteorologist and the weather reports we rely on from the news.


answer:
Climate is something that is hard to predict accurately. It can only be estimated how far the climate will change relying on the data collected on it from the previous years.


answer:
Some examples of feedback in climate systems are the positive feedback, negative feedback,


answer:
examples of emergent properties in climate systems are


answer:
It is not very stable as the heat that is reaching the earth's surface is getting too hot due to climate change. The earth is recieving way more uv rays than it is suppose to due to the hole in the ozone layer. We have rapidly increased in the temperatures. This winter we faced the hottest winter of few years.


answer:
greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that cause the greenhouse effect. they prevent some of the heat of the sun from escaping the atmosphere. the grewenhouse effect is what makes life on earth possible as it keeps the earth warm.


answer:
the carbon cycle comprises of the things carbon can be stored in - the atmosphere, animals, plants and fossil fuels. the carbon cycle is important because it explains why, if there is no adding of carbon, there is a constant amount of carbon on earth.


answer:
weather is the state of the atmosphere at any given time. climate is the average atmospheric conditions of a particular area over a period of time.


answer:
weather can be predicted to an extent. it can be predicted by studying an area's weather patterns and by measuring the conditions, but weather forecasts are not 100% accurate.


answer:
climate can be predicted because it is the AVERAGE conditions of an area over a period of time. because it is an average and is detrmined from daa collected over a period of time, it is possible to predict climate by looking at changes happening to the overall conditions of an area.


answer:
examples of feedback in climate systems are water feedback and albedo feedback.


answer:
An example of a dynamic equilibrium in climate systems is the carbon cycle. there is a constant amount of carbon in the system even the carbon molecules transfer from one place to another.


answer:
An emergent property in climate systems is something that emerges and was not part of the system at the start.


answer:
i dont know what 'tragedy of the commons' are.


answer:
the current global climate system is not stable because the more carbon emmissions are being created, therefore adding to the carbon cycle. Also, temperatures in the earth are rising, possible due to an enhanced greenhouse effect.


answer:
c02 is absorbed into vegetation with light and photoynthesised into things like glucose and oxygen.
that oxygen is used(breathed) by other living organisms and through process of respiration becomes carbon dioxide again
carbon is also released into the atmosphere through other means such as tree and fossil fuel burning
as the carbon becomes c02 again the process repeats
important because it keeps life going


answer:
different weather is the state of tghe atmosphere in a certain area for a short period of time climate is long term


answer:
weather can be predicted using a variety of instruments but not accurately because predictions in general are pretty much never 100% GUARANTEED


answer:
climate can be predicted but not accurately because nobody fully understands climate or at least enough to predict things with complete certainty


answer:
the temperature over long periods of time
as it fluctuates through the seasons it creates a zig zag pattern on the graph.
if the long term temperature increases, the whole zigzag increases with it, if it decreases, then the temp. also decreases

so despite the rising and falling of the temperature in accordance to the seasons, the whole thing overall still rises and falls together


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that are sent up into our atmosphere. They are gases like caron dioxide.


answer:
A carbon cycle is a cycle which shows how greenhouse gases and fossil fuel usage affect our climate. It is important as we can see the long term effects of greenhouse gases and fossil fuel usage.


answer:
Different. Weather is the temperature of the air surrounding us. The term climate describes the surroundings around us. Climate does not change and fluctuate as much as weather does. Weather is talking about the forecast of the temperature in a certain region. Climate describes the average temperature and weather conditions of a certain region or place, allowing little flucutation unlike the term weather.


answer:
Weather can be predicted. Weather is predicted by advanced technology and synoptic maps. We are able to predict the temperature of tomorrow's weather with the dadvanced technology we have today. However, weather can only be predicted approx. a week after the date of the current day. This is because weather changes, therefore only allowing us to make an estimate.


answer:
Climate can be predicted based on the weather over many years. The climate of a region can best be determined after collecting data of the weather of that particular region over many years. This allows a fairly accurate guess of the climate of a certain region or area.


answer:
I'm still not 100% comfortable with feedback. To be honest, I have no idea what it is.


answer:
Equilibrium is the balance between two things in a climate system. In order for the carbon cycle to continue running for a long time, we have to be able to adjust fossil fuel usage and greenhouse gas emissions. This is an example of dynamic equilibrium.


answer:
An example of an emergent property is the bird model. It shows that it is not in the birds nature to follow and obey a certain set of rules. It is an emergent property. 
Sorry, I still do not fully get the term emergent.


answer:
I do not know what 'tragedy of the commons' means.


answer:
The current global climate system is stable in the short term. But, because of the continuous ice cap melting, and the temperature of the earth warming up due to increased fossil fuel usage and greenhouse gas emissions, the current global climate system is only stable for the next couple 100 years or so. Therefore, for the future generations, we will have to make some changes in how we use the supplies the earth has given us, such as coal.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases that are found in the atmosphere. They float around in the air and provide us with heat. UV rays reflect off them, and back to earth, so it is like a barrier that keeps the heat in. If there were no greenhouse gases, the UV rays would just come into earth and be reflected back out so earth would be too cold to live on.


answer:
The carbon cycle is a closed cycle in which carbon moves around and changes form in the earth. Carbon is never destroyed and that is important as we should find ways to keep it in a form that isn't harmful to the earth. When a tree dies, the carbon it has absorbed over its life is released. I think the importance is that we know that it can't be destroyed but it probably can be contained in ways such as trees. If we can attempt to keep trees alive, or stop the logging of forests, then the carbon in the actual atmosphere will be limited, and the carbon will be in the trees.


answer:
Weather is a short term thing, such as the temperature and rainfall of a day. It is of a particular place and time. Climate is the long term averages of the states of the atmosphere and is found through research and records. The climate is more constant and changes seen are over a more prolonged period of time. They are different.


answer:
Weather can be predicted as you can view the past weeks and days, and the state of the atmosphere at the time to give a prediction. The prediction may not be 100% accurate and may sometimes be wrong, when the earth takes a sudden turn, but it can generally be predicted.


answer:
No, climate cannot be predicted as the things we do can change it immensely. If we keep using fossil fuels, but suddenly stop, the climate will change. It really depends on if we know what human activities impact on the climate. If we can find out the activities that truly impact on the climate, then maybe we can predict it.


answer:
Feedback is when something happens in the environment, and that event causes someting else to happen in the environment. Such as the enlarged use of fossil fuels will cause more carbon to be in the atmosphere and will therefore mean that the temperature will go up and so will the carbon in the oceans, which could lead to acidification.


answer:
A dynamic equilibrium in climate systems are when two factors balance themselves out. If temperature rises a lot in the atmosphere, there will be more rain as the evaporation and condensation will happen much faster. Then the rain will fall and cool the earth? So the heat rises the temperature and then the rain cools it back to a balanced state?


answer:
When something emerges from the use of something else? It is like when more rain is the effect / emergent of the increasing temperature.


answer:
I think that the current global climate system is not very stable and the equilibrium is not in place and the temperature keeps rising but there is nothing to cool it down.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases like water vapour or carbon dioxide that are in the atmosphere and prevent some of the heat that the earth receives from the sun from escaping. They are important because they heat the earth and allow life to exist.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle of carbon movement on earth. Carbon is taken in by trees and stored, while carbon is released from oceans and fires etc. The amount of carbon on earth never changes, but the carbon is absorbed and released constantly.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather is short term and climate is more long term.


answer:
Weather can be predicted accurately to withing the next two or three days.


answer:
Climate is more difficult to predict than weather because it is long term. However, we can use climate records from the recent past to find trends and patterns and use these to predict climate.


answer:
I'm not sure but feedback in climate systems is when an action like increasing fossil fuel use has an impact on the system and feedback occurs e.g. increased temperatures.


answer:
A dynamic equilibrium is when something e.g. temperature is constantly changing but stable overall. The system has reached a stable point and although fluctuations occur the temperature is stable in the long term.


answer:
I'm not sure but examples of 'tragedy of the commons' in climate systems could be when common species like sheep begin to die out?.


answer:
The current global climate system is not stable because fossil fuel use is increasing, which leads to an increase in greenhouse gases and increasing temperatures.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases within the Earth's atmosphere, generally in the layer known as the troposphere, which serve to create a greenhouse effect. Namely, they aid in the trapping of heat and to a small degree, light in the Earth's atmosphere, by allowing the sun's rays into the Earht's atmposphere, adn then, instead of releasing them back into space, bouncing them off various parts of the Earth's surface, warming that part of the Earth, as well as the air above it. Eventually, part of this ray is sent back into space, however, a good deal of it has already been absorbed by the Earth. Greenhouse gases are important as they enable this process to exist. Without this process, the earth would not be sufficiently heated to be able to sustain life of almost any kind.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the movement of carbon in and directly surrounding the Earth throughout various forms, and also it's movement from the ocean to the Earth, to the atmosphere. It is important as it relates directly to the amount of carbon in living things, i.e. humans, and other organisms upon whom humans depend.


answer:
No, as weather refers to atmospheric conditions such as temperature, wind presence and speed, cloud cover and precipitation in the short term over a certain area of the Earth's surface, generally for a few days, predicted by conditions in the few days before. However, climate refers to the types of temperatures and precipitation in a specific area, during a specific period of months, as predicted by data gathered in previous years and decades.


answer:
Weather can be predeicted, but only in the short term. As weather refers to a short period of atmospheric conditions, quite specific in their details and also quite short-term, it can be predicted, however, not from more han a few days beforehand, at least not accurately.


answer:
Yes, as climate is defined on the basis of previous data collection of atmospheric conditions, in the assumption that the previous data will repeat itself.


answer:
Feedback is when the a part of the outputs in a climate system become part of the inputs. For example, the carbon cycle, or the movement of heat in the greenhouse effect.
