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.


answer:
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.

I officially do not understnad that concpet.

answer:
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:
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.

# pretest

answer:
Experiment: Store two buckets of soil in sunlight, both with seeds and place a small quantity of granite dust in one. Monitor the growth of the plants, exposing them both to the same amount of sunlight and water.


answer:
Aim: To find if storing granite on farms affects their produce
Materieals: 2 Farms, Seeds, Granite
Method: 1. Plant seeds in both the farms
2. Place ganite in one farm
3. When the crops are ready, observe if there are any differences


answer:
My reasons for disagreeing is that not all roads are the same. HIghway lanes are different to surburban streets, therefore requiring different circumstances of lane lines.


answer:
Dust or No Dust

Aim: To see whether granite dust effects the growth of plants.

Materials:
-2 pots
-granite dust
-two plants (of the same species)
-ruler
-water

Method:

1. Place two plants in pots, and add identical amounts of soil.
2. place granite dust on top of ONE of the plants.
3. Give both plants each necessity they need, equally. i.e water, sunlight.
4. Record every day with a ruler how tall each plant has grown.


answer:
Aim:
To find weather granite dust would afect the farmers produce

Hypothesis:
The granite dust will poison the plants and render them unusable

Materials:
1xsmaple of granite dust 1x produce from the feild still in the soil

Method:
1. Collect a sample of the granite dust that was to be put on the farm
2.select some of the produce from that farm still in its soil
3.Put the granite dust on the plant and check every day for a week wheather the produce was still growing, poisoned or stopped growing


answer:
Aim- To see if granite affects plant growth
Hypothesis- I think it will affect the growth
Materials- Plant sample, granite, pot, soil

1. Collect samples of the granite and and the crops
2. Put crops in pot of soil and place granite in pot also
3. Observe hourly and record results


answer:
Because the traffic moves quicker, the road is more efficent and gets people to where they need to be faster. The Traffic aslo keeps nearer to the edg of the road, reducing the likelyhood of an accident where a vhecle swerves into another lane and is hit by another car.


answer:
Aim: To find out if granite dust affects plant growth.
Materials: granite dust, plant
Method: 1) Put some granite dust on a plant
        2) Leave the plant for few hours
        3) After few hours check if the plant looks different
        4) Put the plant in water and see if the water colour changes
        5) Record if granite dust affects plant


answer:
I believe that the roads should be lined, as they increase the movement of traffic on the road, allowing for less conjestion and traffic jams. Also all the cars keep nearer to the edges of road, allowing for more cars to fit in to the space of road


answer:
Aim: To test if granite dust badly affects plant growth.
Materials: Plant seeds x2, soil, granite dust, 1L+ containers x2
Method:
1) Fill both containers with soil and plant the seeds in them.
2) Water both the plants and sprinkle granite dust on one. We will call the un-granited plant 'A' and the granited plant 'B'.
3) Repeat step 2 every day for 2 weeks.
4) Record the height of both the plants.

aim: To see if granite dust would affect plant growth 
materials:seed of fruit,granite dust,soil
method:
1. Place a seed of a fruit in soil
2. place a seed of a fruit in soil and add some granite dust in the soil
3. measure the time it takes for both seeds to grow
4. compare quality of fruit after growth


answer:
if the lines once painted in caused more dangerous driving then tehy should not be painted in.

If there is more chance of damage to life then lines are not a good idea

Although the traffic was already dangerous the lines only made it worse


answer:
Aim: To find if granite dust would pollute the farmer's produce.

Materials: Granite dust, two medium-sized plant pots, soil, 6 lettuce seeds, water, 200ml beaker.

Method:
1. Divide the soil into two equal parts. 
2. Mix granite dust into one of the parts of soil and put them both into seperate pots
3. Plant 3 letuce seeds in each pot and place them where they will recieve equal amounts of sunlight
4.  Twice a day for 2 weeks, fill the 200ml beaker with water and water the plants.
5. Observe the two kinds of lettuce under a microscope to see if they are infected.


answer:
Method:
1. Fill granite dust in three cups of the same size.
2. Pour them on three different vegetables and fruits.
3. Observe for 7 days and record the result.   
4. Repeat step 1 to 3 three more times.


answer:
I agree to painting lines on the narrow roads because it would be more clear for drivers and as it was more safer to have lane lines than no lane lines.


answer:
If traffic overall moves quicker, then it is overall better for the flow of traffic and therefore decreasing the time of travel.


answer:
Granite and Plants

Aim: To find out if Granite dust effects the growth of plants.

Hypothesis: I think the Granite dust will effect the plants because the dust may cause the plant to stop growing.

Materials:
-Granite dust            -Large tray
-Plant with soil         -Safety goggles

Method:
1.Put on Safety goggles
2.Place the plant and soil in the large tray making sure the plant is still alive
3.Safely get the granite dust and place next to the plant on the soil
4.Wait a few days and observe if there has been any changes to the growth of the plant


answer:
I disagree because the purpose of lane lines was to decrease the speed of traffic and make vehicles more inline and a specific distance away from each other and the road so it would be safer. As the results show, the lane lines instead caused traffic speed to increase, positioning of vehicles too close to the edge meaning it would be more dangerous for pedestrians and the distance giving no change meaning that there is no decreasing risk of crashing or any other close encounter accidents.


answer:
When the traffic keeps nearer to the road, the risk of an accident will be greatly increased. This combined with the higher speed of the cars will create an overall less safe environment on narrow roads.


answer:
Having faster cars on a narrow road is dangerous as the room for moving is less. Having traffic nearer to the edges of the road with speeding cars will make the chance of an accident more.


answer:
aim: to test for granite in the farmers produce.
materials: farmers produce,granite.
hypothesis:I think there will be granite in the farmers produce.
method:
1.


answer:
I disagree because if the lines were painted people would be more careless of where they are driving because they think it is 'safe' just because of th lines. I think that if they were not drawn people would be more careful of where they are driving and would it may prevent more crashes or dangerous situations.


answer:
This will be more dangerous since the vehicles will have a higher chance of:
1. crushing the pathway. (closer to edges of road)
2. crushing pedestrians. (closer to edges of road)
2. crushing other vehicles (higher speed)


answer:
1. Get the farmers to plant their vegetles and fruit
2. Place the granite piles next to the farm
3. Wait until the produce finishes growing
4. Test the produce for any contamination


answer:
materials: granite dust,farmers soil, test tube, universal indicator, white powder

step 1: collect farmer produce
step 2: take sample from farmers soil and place in test tube
step 3: add granite dust into the test tube
step 4: add white powder into the test tube
step 5: add universal indicator
step 6: shake and test PH level


answer:
Title: Testing food for contamination

Aim: To discover whether granite dust will affect the growth of fruits and vegetables.
Materials: Fruits, Vegetables, Granite
Method:
1.Place produce in areas with granite and without granite.
2. Observe differences in samples of produce.

Results:
Gran

Conclusion: From this experiment, we can see that granite dust does not affect produce when placed near it.


answer:
No because it would be a waste of time and money to get to all the lanes. If people do hit the sides of the narrow roads its their fault for not paying attention to the width of the road


answer:
i agreee to put lines in the middle of the road because that it will make the traffic move faster which will help people not to be late


answer:
I agree because traffic congestion is a big problem in all developed countries around the world. The speed of the traffic may be faster and the distance to the side of the road may be closer but that is a small price to pay for the reduction of accidents.


answer:
This was the best decision as it makes the lanes clearer and allows people to stay in the correct lane. Without the lines, people would be unable to determine which area of the road to drive in.


answer:
I agree because the traffic moves more quickly making it more efficient for cars to travel to and from places.


answer:
Painting the lines on narrow roads improved Traffic as the traffic moves more faster, keeps the traffic near edges which prevents car crashed and assuming the distance was good before these are positive imorovements.


answer:
i disagree with this decision due to the fact that crashes can result when cars are too close to the edges of the roads. also people may have nowhere to walk if all the cars are really close to the edge of the road.


answer:
Grow a plant with normal soil and soil with granite in it and measure it every day to deermine its growth.


answer:
Title:Plant Destroyed by Dust?
Aim: To see if the granite dust would affect the plants.
Material: Granite dust, 2 pot plants
Method:
1. Place the one pot plant in a closed area filled with granite dust.
2. Place another pot plant in a clean room.
3. Check daily to see if the plants have any changes.
4. Compare the changes.


answer:
People will be able to move faster without thinking they will crash into someone else
It is more safe
people will not drive on the middle of the road


answer:
I agree with painting the narrow roads as drivers cna find it easier to drive without the fear of hitting other objects.


answer:
Aim: Founding the proof of the granite dust and plant growth

answer:
Granite dust and Plant growth.

Aim: To find if granite dust pollutes plant growth.

Hypothesis: I think granite dust will distrupt plant growth.

Materials: 50g granite dust, 50g apple, 1 bowl.

Method: 

1. Place a 50g apple and 50g of granite dust together in a bowl.

2. Wait for 4 - 5 days to see if growth occurs.

Conclusion: Nurturing plants can't compensate with growth when granite dust overcomes it.


answer:
Because the traffic will be quick and does not change.Th traffic keeps near edges of the road.The road are better if they are narrow lines.


answer:
I strongly disagree with the postion the cars must go through. With an increase of traffic, narrow roads, accidents are more likely to occur when changing lanes.


answer:
Title: Granite-dust plants

Method: Test The samples and create a graph

Result: Whatever it says on the graph


answer:
Granite Experiment

Hypothesis: I think that the granite will pollute all of the produce. I think that this is because granite can be a hazardous material that can poison easily if ingested or otherwise consumed. 

Method: Expose the fruit and vegetables to the granite and moniter the produce conditions over the next few weeks.

Results: The granite polluted all of the produce.


answer:
The farmer claims that the granite dust would pollute their fruits and vegtable because the minister decides to store the granite in their farms, the minister explained that the piling of granite in the farms was part of the country's strategy to prepare for any shortage of cinstruction material.

Aim: To see if granite dust affects the crops

Equiptment: 2 Pots, Some soil, Seeds, Granite, 

Method:
1. fill each pot with the same amount of soil and the same amoun of seeds in each pot
2.Water them daily and make sure they both have the same amount of sunlight
3.Once both crops are fully grown you can see the difference of taste the difference between the 2

Hypothesis: I think the crops grown without the granite would be grown in better conditions and wont be contaminated like the ones with the granite


answer:
I disagree because the speed is an issue. The speed is an issue because the cars are going faster therefore making more dangerous. I also think that the position is dangerous because the sidewalkers could get hit by the cars because the cars are nearer to the road.

answer:
The farmers could start a new farm or the granite could be moved to a different location


answer:
I agree because the painted lanes can idicate drivers that the road is narrow


answer:
I believe the results do not show that lane lines should be painted on all narrow roads. The results say that with lines painted the cars on the road increased in speed which is a negative change. The results also say that the traffic is closer to the edge of a road which on a narrow road is a positive change. The other thing the results show is that the cars still go the same distance apart which is, with the increased speed, negative. This means that painting the lines on the road had 2 negative effects to two positive affects.


answer:
I disagree because speed increase and the closing distance to the edge of the road will inevitably cause more accidents. I believe that Peter should have put speed signs up, indicating a a decrease in speed is needed.


answer:
You need lines on the road because it makes you drive faster and its important to be able to drive as fast as you like incase you're late to some place.


answer:
i agree because it was smart and because IM BATMAN


answer:
i think it is good to get painted roads because people have their ways and i think it would make cars more organised such people staying in their own lanes and pathways and so forth

answer:
I think it is good to get painted roads because peope have their ways and i think it would make cars more organised such as people staying in their own lanes and pathways and so forth.


answer:
If the lines were painted on all narrow roads, some people might get confused about where to go or whether they should stay in the lines or whether they should drive like they normally would.


answer:
To test this experimenti would keep a pile of granite near some crops for a couple of days. I would also have some normal crops growing and harvest those. I would conduct a test on both crops and see the difference between them. They would require th same amount of sunlight and water.

answer:
Aim: to find out if granite dust pollutes frutis and vegetables?

Hypothesis: I think that granite dust will make the fruit and vegetables dirty but not polluted.

Equpitment needed: 
-Bucket of fruit and vegetables
-Bucket of granite
-Table

Steps
1)Empty fruit and vegetables onto table
2)Empty granite next to fruit andvegetables on table allowing dust to cover them
3)Once fruit and vegetables are covered in dust, observe


answer:
I disagree with having lines on this road because if their are people walking on a foot path near the road and cars are driving fast and near the edge their might be a accident involving going on to the path and may hurt or kill people


answer:
i think it is good to put lines on narrow roads so if cars opposite to eachother come through the road there will be less chance of them colliding.


answer:
Some cars may be too big to fit on their side of the road. They would be charged a fee just for having a large car.

answer:
expose the vegetable to the granite dust and see if the vegetable get pollute.

you will need:

-vegetable

-Granite dust

this experiment will take time, to examine it, you would have to have samples of the vegetable from time to time.


answer:
I agree because it is safer to have two lanes and there is no problem in the way of them.


answer:
having lane lines would cause the road to be more narrow, it would cause the bikers to go more near to the edge of the road.


answer:
Step 1) Collect fruit, vegetables, granite and two containers.

Step 2) Place half of the fruit and vegetables into a container with the granite and put the lid on.

Step 3) Place the other half of the fruit and vegetables in the second container and put the lid on it.

Step 4) Sit back and observe the results.


answer:
The reason for why I agree is because even if it didn't exactly change the way the traffic flows, it was worth the try to just see if it would do anything.

answer:
Aim  :  To find out if the pilling of granite would affect the farmers produce and to find out if the Minister of Land is lying.

Hypothesis : The pilling of granite WILL affect the farmers produce.


answer:
ive already done this with my partner on a different account


answer:
I agree to this decision they made because if all the narrow roads move faster they will cause less traffic for the city.


answer:
1. Take two samples of fruit and vegetables, one from a site where there is no granite rock and one from a site that has granite rock.
2. Test the quality of the fruit and vegetables. If there is no change in quality the granite hasnt affected the fruit and vegetable. And if there is a changge in quality you now know the granite is directly affected the fruit and vegetable.


answer:
Having lines on the road stretch means that the cars are separated thus causing no car crashes.

answer:
It isn't possible for a butterfly in brazil flapping its wings to trigger a snowstorm in Alaska - however, the butterfly flapping its wings could jiggle the air, leading to other things which would get progressively bigger and bigger, leading to the snowstorm in Alaska. 

By itself, the wing movement of a butterfly is too small of an action to directly cause a snowstorm in another continent. It is the fact that this wing movement then causes other, more significant consequences that eventually leads to the snowstorm. Also, because there is more than just one butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil, this means that the consequences are larger than if there was a single butterfly. All in all, it's similar to a domino effect - the initial small movement of the butterfly in Brazil leads to the air jiggling, which leads to other larger things, eventually leading to a snow storm in Alaska.


answer:
The theory that a butterfly flapping it's wings in Brazil can cause a snowstorm in Alaska highly unlikely, but not impossible. A single butterfly would not be able to achieve this effect. However, the butterfly flapping it's wings could progressively lead to other, much bigger effects, which could potential cause the snowstorm in Alaska. 

Alone, a single butterfly beating it's wings would not make much difference to the air surrounding it. However, like a domino effect, the butterfly flapping it's wings could lead to something else like other butterflies flapping their wings and caushing leaves to fall onto the ground. With all these things built up, there is a small cance that the snowstorm in Alaska is a possibility.


answer:
Greenhouse gases produced from burning fossil fuels and they heat up the earth, as the ozone layer does not allow all of the gases to escape.
without them, the earth would be real cold.


answer:
the carbon cycle is how carbon is stored in different forms and how it is released. the carbon cycle important as it impacts the atmosphere and therefore our climate and state of living.


answer:
Weather is what you get whilst climate is what you expect. Although they are two different things, climate is an average of the common conditions or frequencies that an area experience. Weather is what occurs at the time or what is predicted.


answer:
Yes. We recieve similar weather to that which regions before us (ahead of us in longitude). We can predict how high and low pressure systems will vary as they move across the land, by observing them from previous days and noting their patterns. Furthermore, our climate has an impact on the weather, as the environment around us can influence the weather.


answer:
Yes, as climate is an average of common conditions, it is based upon the weather conditions that occur, and if weather is predictable, climate is as well


answer:
I do not believe this is possible as I do not believe a creature as small scale as a butterfly could create such a large scale phenomenon like a snowstorm. Also, simply a butterfly flapping it's wings does not create enough force or pressure to whirl up a snowstorm, in fact, it does not have much of an impact at all. Furthermore, the distance between Brazil and Alaska is way too drastic and something that occurs in Brazil would not be able to impact on the environment in Alaska, especially if it is created by a butterfly.


answer:
No it is not possible. The force of a butterfly's wind is too small to create a snowstorm. A snowstorm is created by a lot of force. Also there is only one butterfly and therefore the force is even smaller. There is also a fair distance between Brazil and Alaska. It is not possible for the air in Brazil to affect Alaska because of the small change in the air in Brazil.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases released into the atmosphere. They are carbon dioixide and they warm up the earth and the atmosphere as it is released into the air.


answer:
The carbon cycle shows what happens to carbon as it is released into the air, then brought back into earth and released again. It is important as we know what we are doing with our planet, what carbon does to the earth and how we can slow down climate change.


answer:
Weather is known as the temperature and climaic conditions day to day of an area. However climate  are the overall conditions of a location.


answer:
Weather can be predicted, by using satellite technology however can only be predicted a few days in advance


answer:
Climate cannot be predicted as it does not change, climate is a characteristic of a particular location.


answer:
For example, hotter temperature as the ozone layer becomes thinner, causing the sun's ultra- violet rays to hit the earth faster and with more inensity.


answer:
For example, the releasing of CFC's into the atmosphere, causing the holes in the ozone laer to grow bigger.


answer:
The current global climate system is not sustainable as we are emitting too much CO2 and pollution, also cutting down too many trees and burning too many fossil fuels, and using the natural resources too rapidly. Therefore this is not sustainable. The globe is heating up faster, causing all the ice caps in the north pole to melt, and countries overall are becoming hotter.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that are in the atmoshpere of the Earth. They are called greenhouse gases because a greenhouse retains heat and in the same way, these gases act like a blanket and trap the heat that is reflected off the Earth. They are essential for life on Earth, but human consumption of fossil fuels and other stuff has increased the levels of greenhouse gases to the extent that there is something occuring called global warming. They are important, as without greenhouse gases, the atmosphere would not be able to trap heat and the Earth would be too cold to sustain life.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather is the short term state of a particular region in terms of rainfall, wind, temperature, humidty, etc. Climate, however, is the general long term state of a region/country for a longer period of time.


answer:
Yes, weather can be predicted to a certain extent, though not usually more than a week. It is also not always very accurate. Clouds can be predicted by wind movement thus rain can be predicted from cloud movement. I am not exactly sure how they can predict weather


answer:
Yes, as climate defines the long term state of a state/country and is not quite as changable as weather.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases in the earth that keep it an average of around 33 degrees C warmer than it would be otherwise. They are important, because without them, it wouldn't be possible for life to exist on earth - it would be too cold.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather is the short term changes in the conditions (temperature, rain, etc) of a place, while climate is the longterm conditions - how the weather is in general in a place.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to an extent, and only about a week into the future. However, predictions are very often incorrect, because weather is very variable.


answer:
Climate can be predicted, because it is how the conditions of a place are in general - it is less variable than the weather.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are carbon emissons in the atmosphere that cause global warming. They're important because scientists can study the gases and reduce the risk of global warming.


answer:
No. Weather is the current condition a place is experiencing, whilst climate is the average temperature and conditions of a place recorded over a longer period of time.


answer:
Yes, but not accurately. Scientists and Metereologists can predict weather patterns using satellite images, but the accuracy is never certain.


answer:
Yes, but not always. If the weather has been consisted for a long period of time and the data has been collected, climate can be predicted based on these results. However, if, for example, there are sudden heat waves that weren't in the previous data collected, then the predictions can be very inaccurate.


answer:
they're specific types of gasses that absorbs heat (?) from the sun and warms up the earth surface and thus warms up the air and sea. they're important because if we have to much it may lead to climate change.


answer:
i has something to do with plants and trees and decompsition (?) and how its released back into the atmosphere


answer:
no
climate is temperature and weather etc. over a long period of time which doesn't change a lot while weather is like weekly forecasting eg. rain, sun, cloud


answer:
it can be roughly predicted one week in advance (?)
it sometimes is not accurate and is predicted forom satelite imageing etc.


answer:
it can be predicted/estimated if there is enough evidence and a definite trend. for example rising temperatures, ice caps meling etc.


answer:
no
it is heating up because there are increased greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere that have been caused by human activity for example using cars, burning fossil fuels and this is causing the antarctic and arctic ice caps to melt, which means our sea levels will rise and the overall temerature of the earth is increasing.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases which are made by burning fuels and transports. They reflect in the atmosphere and are important to keep warm air in .


answer:
A carbon cycle is the cycle of our carbon footprint. It is important of how much carbon we produce.


answer:
No, weather is the short term effect and climate is the long term one.


answer:
Yes, it can  be predicted by weather forecasting. This is done using scientific appliances which measure the  upcoming weather.


answer:
No it cannot. Climate is long term and the appliances can only predict short term effects.


answer:
No, it is changing and the climate in different places of the world are different. This is due to climate change and the ozone layer.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are created by the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and other human activity. Greenhouse gases moderate the earths temperature and keep it warm. The more fossil fuels that are burned, deforestation that occurs and the more negative human waste that is produced, the globe will continually become warmer and warmer to the point where the planet is no longer habitable.


answer:
Weather is the actual description of the Earth, for example, a day could be sunny, rainy, cloudy or stormy. However, the climate is how hot or cold the temperature is, for example, 32 degrees.


answer:
Weather can be predicted however even so, it is not 100% accurate. This is done by instruments in the sky or at stations and information is collected which can show what the future weather MIGHT be.


answer:
Climate cannot be predicted to the point where it is 100% accurate. There are many varying factors which can ultimately change the final temperature of the atmosphere.


answer:
I personally believe that the current climate system in the world is relatively stable. For instance in Australia, our Summers and Winters are bearable and for a good majority of the year the climate is quite pleasant. However, in the future, this may be different. The globe is continually becoming warmer and warmer which may see a drastic change to our future, however, as of now, I believe the climate is stable.


answer:
i think so because air is constantly moving, and even though the butterfly may not be directly creating the snowstorm, the movement of the air it creates may comtribute towards bigger masses of similarly moving air, and therefore this is possible.


answer:
Greenhouse Gases are gases that are released when fossil fuels are burned. 
They are important because they keep the earth warm by trapping the sun's heat inside the atmosphere.


answer:
Weather and climate are different - weather changes from day to day, and can vary very much as a result, while climate is the broad spectrum of the type of weather that is experienced in a certain place for a year.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to a certain extent - cold fronts, clouds, and so on can be seen and identified on satellite images, but some weather changes occur too quickly or may go unnoticed until it actually occurs, in which case, it is not predictable.


answer:
Climate is easier to predict than weather because it will have a more gradual change, where as weather fluctuates. It is easier to predict how the climate will change because little changes will already be occuring right now to help us identify what will happen later.


answer:
Our current global climate system isn't very stable because we have been releasing too many greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and there have been ramifications - temperatures are becoming colder in Winter and hotter in Summer than it was before. There have been overrall, slightly erratic, changes in the global climate system, and it would appear that it is less stable than before.


answer:
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm at a comfotable level. If there is an excessive amount of Greenhouse gases trapped in the Earth's atmosphere, the earth will overheat, making it difficult for human civilisation. As we are currently livng, the Earth's temperature is increasing bu 1 Degree each year.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle in which the Carbon in Earth's atmosphere interacts and works. The carbon syvcle is important to us because it regulates the weather conditions that we face on Earth, and if this was to be disrupted, we would be heavily impacted in a less than desirable manner.


answer:
Clmate and weather are two different things. Climate is the long term variation of the weather, and weather is a day to day type of thing.


answer:
weather can pe predicted, so long as the time of prediction is within 1 week (?) of the day that the meteorologist is trying to predict. Predictionas are not always accurate, but they provide an insight into the conditions that we will face in terms of temperatures and other weather conditions.


answer:
No, because it is long term and not immediate. to an extent, it can be predicted if the weather patterns appear to be similar, but if any drastic change is made to the weather than the climate cannot be predicted.


answer:
NO. this is because the human race has inaccurately abused substances that are harmful to the earth's sustainability. If we continue to live the way we have over the past few decades, t will not be long before the Earth will no longer be the place that we know it to be today. It will cahnge for the worse, due to the ignorance of the human race.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the main problem in the greenhouse effect. they are created by us and can affect the ozone layer. it is the reason why we have climate change and global warming.


answer:
I'm not exactly sure what the carbon cycle is.


answer:
Weather can be predicted. But only a week in advance. It is always changing and so there is no way to really find the exact weather.


answer:
Climate can't be predicted. it is always changing and it is affected by us.


answer:
I don't know what feedback in climate systems is.


answer:
the current global climate system isn't stable because we still have CFC's being produced (even thouh it's rare) and there are so many other problems still affecting the ozone layer which is contributing to global warming.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that absorb the radiation (from the sun)then re-radiate it onto the earth. It also traps the heat inside of the earth, not allowing it to escape, heating up the earth. The gases include water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane.


answer:
When we burn carbon it releases more carbon dioxide into the air, it is important because it contributes to the greenhouse gases that heat up the earth.


answer:
They are different- weather is a temporary temperature, humidity, rainfall etc, and can include extreme conditions like natural disasters, whereas climate is the conditions of a location for a long period of time.


answer:
Weather can be predicted by various machines and equipment, meteorolgy observes the wind, cloud, temperature patterns (eg. cold fronts, low pressure cells) to predict upcoming weather. However it is not 100% accurate.


answer:
Yes, to some extent- you can look at the trends of temperature and how much it is increasing/decreasing to predict future temperature.


answer:
What they produce/release? Eg. carbon dioxide, oxygen.


answer:
There is a balance between the climate systems in what they take (absorb) and produce, so that there wouldn't be a substance (eg. carbon dioxide) that has more than it should.


answer:
No, human activity has contributed to more greenhouse gases (burning carbon) and destroying the ozone layer (CFCs), which heats up the earth. This continues in a cycle and gets worse.


answer:
No, as the Earth is changing (global warming) due to industrialisation, human burning of fossil fuels, agriculture and pollution. Global warming is effecting the Earth in various ways and this causes the global climate system to be quite unstable and unpredictable, especially in the next few years.


answer:
Green house gases are gases such as carbon dioxide and cfcs in the earth's atmosphere that absorb some of the rays from the sun that are reflected back from the earth into the sky. The rays are absorbed to warm the earth.


answer:
The carbon cycle refers to how living things in the world contain carbon particles and how they cycle through living things. For example, humans exhale carbon dioxide and then trees take in carbon dioxide to create starch.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather refers to the day to day changes in temperature and humidity, whereas climate refers to the weather over a longer period of time and determines things like weather a country is generally cold, warm, wet or dry.


answer:
Weather can be predicted as we currently have weather reports that tell us what the weather will be for the next week. Weather can only be predicted a week in advance.


answer:
Climate cannot be predicted as such as it is measured over a log period of time and greatly depends on where in the world it is being observed. However, climates are able to be assumed to due the ares postition on the earth, for example, tropical or temperate climate can be seen by position on the earth.


answer:
Feedback in a climate system is when a climatic pattern reoccurs in an area.


answer:
I honestly have no idea. Is it when something in the climate is equal with something else?


answer:
Examples of 'tragedy of the commons' in climate systems are things like tornadoes in tropical areas which often occur due to the climate.


answer:
No, it is not stable due to global warming and climate change. The Earth is gradualy getting warmer due to greenhouse gases keeping the sun's warmth in the Earth's atmosphere.


answer:
Green house gases are gases from the ozone layer that keep the earth at a steady temperature. The fossil fuels produced from the burning of coal contributes to the emmission released into the ozone layer. When too much emmission is in the ozone layer, the earth's temperature rises and this can lead to global warming.


answer:
The carbon cycle is when waste decomposes and releases it's carbon into the atmosphere.


answer:
yes, to some extent weather can be predicted.


answer:
When we receive feedback from the climate.


answer:
The dynamic things that contibute to climate on the earth.


answer:
Fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels emerge into the atmosphere which causes climate change.


answer:
cyclones, tsunamis, natural bush fires, earthquakes. These tragedies come from natural causes such as the earth's plates moving below the ground causing earthquakes and tsunamis and when the weather gets too hot it causes bush fires.


answer:
No because it changes throughout the world.Humans are using too much unrenewable resources which release a lot of carbon into the atmospher. This is making the global climate hotter.


answer:
greenhouse gases are carbondyoxide gases released into the atmosphere through the burning of fuels. green house gases are important because it helps radiate enough of the suns heat to the Earth. Humans also create unnecessary greenhouse gases through the burning of natural fuels such as coal(fossils of prehistoric flora and fauna), which is dug up from under the earth. By burning up these fuels from thousands of years ago, gases are released into the atmosphere attracting more than enough heat from the Sun. If this continues the icecaps will melt, seasons will be upturned which would lead to damaging consequences (migration of animals are interrupted, extinction, lack of food etc).


answer:
carbon cycle is the cycle where fossils are buried for thousands of years and then burnt up to become carbon gases in the air


answer:
different.
weather is the description of a day to a fortnight of the cloud, humidity and storm movement, whereas climate is a long period of time which is estimated to be in the Suns presence.


answer:
only to a maximum of 2weeks. Even that wouldn't be accurate though..
it is hard to follow and predict the exact movement of the weather.
i know the general idea but i can't explain


answer:
climate can be predicted
i don't know how


answer:
steady, yet not stable. 
it is estimated that within 50 years there will be more refugees effected by climate than because of the war.
Steady in the sense that the Earth has heated up 1degree, and will continue to rise.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that exist within the atmosphere. They can be a problem if there is too much.


answer:
A carbon cycle is when carbon is renewed so it can be used again. This is important because it keeps the order of how the planet works.


answer:
Weather is the phenomenon that happens in the atmosphere, but before the divide of space. Climate is affected by weather, but not the same as it. Climate includes both the atmosphere and the ground-level temperature.


answer:
Weather can be predicted, but only to an extent of a day or two before. This is because Earth's weather patterns are erratic.


answer:
Climate is influenced by weather, but it is more consistent than weather as it does not change too much. For example, during summer, the climte will be expected to be warm to hot.


answer:
Examples of feedback in climate systems are the information researchers receive from their devices are used to make judgements and conclusions are formed which further our understanding of how climate works.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium in climate systems is when two or more systems must balance each other out so that they can co-exist without tipping the scale of equilibrium.


answer:
Emergent properties in climate systems are the irrational factors that may occur when something has gone wrong in the state of equilibrium.


answer:
Tragedy of commons is when an abnormality happens in a climate system.


answer:
The current global climate is stable as it is going through changes that renew itself every few millions of years. It is the first time that humanity has experience it as mankind has only existed for a short period of time compared to the age of Earth itself.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases which trap heat in our earth. Greenhouse gases are good for the earth to keep it warm but lately greenhouse gases like chlouroflourocarbon have been heating up our earth's atmosphere to much.  Chlouroflourocarbon is one of the greenhouse gases that is polluting our earth and making our temperature rise. it is predicted that by 2100 he temperature of our earth wil have risen by 8 degrees.


answer:
A carbon cycle is a cycle of carbon circling around in the air.


answer:
I think weather and climate are different but I'm not sure how.


answer:
Weather is generally predictable about a week before the date but major events such as avalanches, tornados and volcano eruptions are generally very unpredictable.


answer:
Climate is generally predictable about a week before the date but major events such as avalanches, tornados and volcano eruptions are generally very unpredictable.


answer:
I don't know :(. Maybe feedback is when erosion occurs and wears a piece of rock down and an earthquake occurs and creates a mountain. That way nature is kind of 'feeding back' the climate systems?? I don't know. Sorry :(


answer:
No. CFC's are raising the temperature of our Earth and if we don't fix it, it will soon be ou of control. Overpopulation is another mass problem in our world. Our main resources are running out and there will not be enough for everyone. It is also predicted that by 2100 there will be about 13 billion people lving on this planet, about twice the amount of people now! This is discussed in Dan Brown's new book, Inferno.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases which exist in the atmosphere. They are important because they allow a constant amount of heat to warm the Earth, by trapping the Sun's rays in a protective layer around the Earth. However, if humans interfere by producing more gases, more heat is trapped in the Earth, which leads to global warming.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the recycling of carbon, which exists in all the biotic living organisms in the world. It is important because this allows a constant amount of carbon in the world to create life.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather is everyday occurrences, such as sunshine, clouds, or rain. Climate is a pattern over a longer period of time, including annual rainfall. Climate accounts for the trends in weather in a particular area.


answer:
Weather can be predicted but not completely. Meteorologists are able to predict rainfall, sunshine, and clouds for about a week. However, as there are so many things which can influence weather, it is hard to predict with complete accuracy.


answer:
Climate can be predicted as it is based on trends over a long period of time. For example, if an area's climate is usually hot and dry, it will most probably be hot and dry.


answer:
Examples of feedback are rain or global warming. When humans produce more greenhouse gases in the climate, this leads to global warming. When water from rivers or oceans vapourise and form clouds, the result is rain.


answer:
I think it means that in climate systems, activities are all balanced out by other activities.


answer:
The current global climate system is not very stable. Evidence of global warming supports this. This is because humans are able to interfere more and more, and even daily tasks such as driving a car can cause problems in the global climate system. Since the climate system can be easily influenced by even a slight change in temperature, this causes further implications, such as rising water levels or extreme heat.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases which surround the earth in a layer known as the ozone layer. They are important as they block out harmful UV rays emitted from the sun and also trap sufficient heat to warm the earth to a suitable temperature.


answer:
The carbon cycle is when carbon burnt from the combustion of materials is released into the air.


answer:
Weather and Climate are different. Weather is the condition of wind, water, air and other geophysical forces in a fixed period of time, most commonly used one is on a day to day basis. Climate is a long term account of weather patterns.


answer:
Weather can be predicted using our modern day measuring devices however not accurately due to the instability of the  elements which make up our atmosphere. It has been said that weather can be predicted a week in advance but still may not provide an accurate forecast.


answer:
Climate can be predicted to some extent. By analysing trends in our weather patterns,we can gradually build a forecast of climate. Although it may not prove to be accurate, we can look for consistent elements.


answer:
I dont think that our current global system is very stable. We have been having many natural disasters which are a significant piece of evidence for climate change. For example, The Indian Uttarakhand Floods caused by a cloud burst in a valley was very much the result, of a severe change in the weather. It has been proven repeatedly that small changes in our weather can drastically impact our climate systems. So no, I dont think our current global system is stable.


answer:
if a butterfly flaps its wings in brazil, it will jiggle the air and thus help cause a snowstorm in Alaska.

the flapping of this butterfly's wings affects the air movements and as air moves, it will in turn affect the air of surrounding areas. however,evidently, brazil and alaska are not near each other. but the air movements can slowly increase as it moves farther along.

and thus concludes this essay presenting legit data. the butterfly effect is very powerful.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that retain heat. This heat is originally light that has reflected off the ground. Greenhouse gases are named so because greenhouse gases act like the glass of a greenhouse does - the glass keeps most of the heat in. The Greenhouse Gases are essential, otherwise none of the heat would retain and the Earth would be much colder than it is now (appximately -19 degrees Celcius). Some examples of Greenhouse Gases are methane and carbon dioxide.


answer:
No, they are different. Weather is the short term state of the atmosphere at a place or time, referring to heat, temperature, and humidity, etc. 
Climate is the general weather of a place during a long period of time.


answer:
Weather can be predicted, though the predictions are not very accurate, and are sometimes incorrect. This is because wind patterns are unpredictable, therefore the cloud movement is unpredictable.


answer:
To an extent. Scientists and meteorologists have determined if the following summer is to be hotter than average (heatwave). However, because the weather is unpredictable at times, it is hard to predict exactly the climate of, say, the next year.


answer:
No. Climate change will cause more cyclones, tornadoes, a hotter climate, rising sea levels.


answer:
A butterfly that flaps its wings in one end of the world and has a significant effect on a place somewhere else in the world, is considered 'the butterfly effect'. I believe this is possibly, because we are all connected to the world around us, and changes in one area can easily effect the circumstances in another area.
   We are all a part of an ecosystem with other living things and the actual environment around us. A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can slightly change the heat of the air, the direction its flowing in, and so on, and this slight change can lead to a bigger change in the surrounding air. Air travels, and can pass its properties to surround air, which means that something that happened in one place can very quickly be transferred to another place. Eventually this effect of one slight change affecting something bigger, which will in turn affect something bigger. 
   This butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can leader to a slight change in the world around it, which can in turn do the same thing but on a slightly larger scale, until in the end, a place on the other end of the continent is being affected by this slight change that began elsewhere.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect, which is when ultraviolet radiation from the sun becomes trapped within the earth and the ozone layer instead of being radiated back into space. An example of a greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide. These gases are important because they contribute to global warming and it is vital to know about them so that we can control our use of them and maintain awareness about the future of our planet and its life.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the recycling of life matter throughout the earth, which allows for the production of resources, such as fossil fuels from the remains of dead animals. It is important because it demonstrates the cycle of living things throughout the earth and how natural processes occur.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Climate reflects average weather patterns over a period of time and weather shows conditions at present and over the next few days if possible. An area's climate is determined by gathering observations and data from an area and putting it together to provide an overview of the recurring weather patterns in that place. Weather simply allows people to know what conditions will be experienced in the present and near future, whilst climate provides a general overview.


answer:
Weather can be predicted through the use of different instruments and theories, perhaps even observations. For example, if dark clouds start to appear in the sky, it is possible to predict that it will rain or perhaps even a storm will begin. If this weather continues for a certain period of time, we can predict that a pattern is developing and it would be unrealistic to expect a sunny forecast straight away. However, there are sometimes fluctuations in weather patterns and this can lead to unexpected developments that were not predicted, which is why it is not 100% reliable to trust the weather forecast at all times.


answer:
Climate is not something that needs to be predicted, and therefore cannot, as it is a generalisation of recurring weather patterns in an area. For example, if an area experiences constant rain, it can be said that the climate is wet and harsh, as majority of the days involve rain and extreme conditions. Climate is determined through observation and study, and without knowing the weather, it cannot be 'predicted'.


answer:
Climate feedback is when we see patterns in climate as a result of human actions, as though the climate is giving 'feedback' towards our actions. For example, humans have begun to see patterns in climate that are related to global warming, and this can be linked to our excessive use of fossil fuels.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium in climate systems is when two or more climate systems share the same pattern and form. For example, two countries in Africa may have dynamic equilibrium because they are in the same area of the earth.


answer:
Emergent properties are when anomalies occur in climate patterns, such as rain appearing in an area that has a sunny and warm climate.


answer:
Our global climate system is fairly stable, but sometimes we experience unusual weather in different climatic regions. However, we can alter climates by our actions, such as global warming and 'climate change'.


answer:
I think that is highly unlikely but maybe the wind created by the butterfly could have picked up other winds on the way to alaska and somehow created a snowstorm in alaska??


answer:
It is simply a myth that a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can cause a snowstorm in Alaska. This is not true because the power cause by one butterfly is not enough to cause enough cange in the air to cause a big climatic evenet such as that.

A butterfly only creates a small change in the air where it is flying, and that does not cause a big change in the air across continents. It is impossible for such a small movement to have such a large impact on the climate of state in another country.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere which absorb heat.
These are a combination of different gases, such as carbon dioxide and CFCs. When the sun shines onto the earth, the ground absorbs the heat energy. The ground then becomes hot, and heats up the air particles near it. These air particles become less dense and rise, and the more dense particles fill the space where they used to be. This cycle repeats. As the hot air particles rise, they are trapped by greenhouse gases, resulting in a comfortable temperature to sustain life.


answer:
The carbon cycle consists of:
- Trees absorb carbon and produce oxygen. This carbon is then stored inside the trees.
- The wood from the trees either decomposes or is burnt, which results in the release of the carbon particles. Coal, for example, is fossilized wood, so when it is burnt, it releases masses of carbon.
- This carbon is then absorbed into the atmosphere and makes a thicker layer of greenhouse gases, and also re-absorbed by trees. 
This cycle is important as it is crucial to the existence of trees, which we cannot live without. It also explains a potential cause of global warming.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather is used to express the immediate and temporary conditions in a particular area, whereas climate is used to express the average conditions on a longer term.


answer:
To an extent, yes. Weather can only be predicted about a week in advance, due to the fact that small changes can affect the weather greatly, such as low pressure systems, cold winds from the poles etc.


answer:
Yes, it can. By considering an area's previous climates, one can assume that the conditions will remain similar. However, it is also possible to predict climate change due to global warming and rising global temperatures.


answer:
Examples of feedback in climate systems are:
- Species becoming endangered/extinct
- Ice caps and glaciers melting
- Desert, drought, floods, tornadoes etc
These are caused by changes in climate.


answer:
More droughts for more floods, because these even each-other out. (I honestly have no idea)


answer:
Rising temperatures, unexpected properties in climate. These are referred to as emergent properties because they emerge as these climates begin to change, due to greenhouse gases and global warming.


answer:
Species becoming endangered/extinct, natural disasters, extreme conditions (drought or floods). 'Tragedy of the commons' are referred to that way because they directly affect the common species on earth.


answer:
Our current global climate system is not stable, as we are experiencing rising temperatures at an unsustainable rate. This results in extreme changes in climate worldwide, causing distress to different species of flora and fauna. If our habits of emitting too many CFC's, CO2 and other greenhouse gases continue, our climate will change vastly. However, if we can control our emissions, we can retain our current conditions and possibly, with time, reverse some of our problems.


answer:
'A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and tus can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska', this is like the ripple effect, except instead of the impact being from the start, it ends with it. 
When the butterfly flaps its wings, it contributes to the other movement in the wind that passes through the air.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases in the Earth's atmosphere which store heat and maintains the Earth's temperature. Without greenhouse gases, the Earth would be minus degrees at night. They are important because human activities are increasing these gases in the atmosphere therefore increasing the Earth's average temperature, thus melting the polar ice caps and causing changes in the Eath's climate.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle in which the uv rays from the sun hit the earth, warms it up and bounce off. The greenhouse gases prevent some of the heat from escaping and keeps the Earth at a normal temperature.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather is a short-term occurence while climate is the general weather patterns of an area.


answer:
Weather can only be predicted up to one week in advance because it is extremely unpredictable and has no set pattern. When it is predicted, there is no guarentee that it will be correctl


answer:
Yes, climate can be predicted as it is the average of measurements of the weather in an area. An area would usually have the same climte therefore it is easy to predict its climate it will usually be sustained throughout.


answer:
Feedback in climate systems include aspects such as average temperature, average rainfall, average snow, and other data collected on the weather over a period of time.


answer:
equilibriums that are dynamic occur in climate systems


answer:
properties that are emergent occur in climate systems


answer:
'tragedy of commons' refers to the extreme weather which is the norm for those living in such climates who experience these natural disasters. As climate change progresses there will be more natural disasters around the world and there will be more tragic events within the community. These include things such as floods, cyclones, draughts and earthquakes.


answer:
Our current global state is not stable because we are being careless with our abuse of limited natural resources such as coal, oil and natural gas which release more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. We will run out of resources and won't have remaining sustainable energy to run our appliances and humanity will be struck by more natural disaters which were triggered by climate change. It will affect everyone's lives and the economy as well and humanity will suffer.


answer:
Is this the chaos theory? 

I'm divided as to whether it's possible or not. 

On the one hand, I think it is possible because everything you do has a consequence, cause and effect, and I think that the littlest of things and choices can trigger great and very different outcomes. The tiniest action can affect you heaps in the long run. 

However I'm finding it hard to think HOW a 'butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska'- regarding the science of it- that is- the wind and weather patterns itself- it seems impossible that a tiny movement of air by a butterfly can contribute to a huge movement of wind and snow (nearly) halfway across the world. I wouldn't be able to explain how this movement of air worked.


answer:
no
butterflies can't do anything
they have no power


answer:
I think that the idea of a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil, jiggling the air and helping to cause a snowstorm in Alaska is an exaggeration. However, on a smaller scale, this can be true, and the idea is based loosely on facts.

When one small part of the climate system changes, it can have bigger repercussions on other parts of the climate. So when a slight movement in the air causes more vibrations in the air, this can possibly help cause a slight wind, but not a snowstorm in another country.


answer:
I really dont think so. The flapping of a butterfly's wing would be a very trivial movement and thus would not shift air drastically. Secondly, distance is a major contributing factor. It is very unlikely that a small change in air would have such a significant impact on a country, thousands of miles away. But then again, I might be wrong.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases within the earth's atmosphere that trap heat. They act like a blanket around the Earth keeping it warm and insulated. They are important as without them, the Earth would be hostile and hard for life to exist on Earth.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the forms of carbon is in throughout it's lifetime. Carbon dioxide is extracted through the air and converted into carbon or glucose by trees by the photosynthesis process. When the carbon or glucose is burned or consumed it is returned to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide by respiration.


answer:
Climate is the average term of the weather around a large area while weather is just from day to day.


answer:
Yes but to an extent. You can see the weather patterns and predict how it would be in a couple of days.


answer:
Yes but to an extent. You can see the changes in climate and predict the changes in the graph.


answer:
Wilder weather, hotter climates, melting of the icecaps


answer:
Have no idea, maybe the evolving of some animals


answer:
No, due the large quantities of greenhouse gases emitted, making it warmer thus changing the climate


answer:
A butterfly flapping it's wings in Brazil cannot jiggle the air and help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. This is because the force of the air is not great enough to travel between countries. 
A butterfly's wings are quite small in surface area, therefore flapping the wings won't create a force strong enough to move air through several kilometers. A snowstorm requires a significant force, and a butterfly's wings will not be able to provide this. Furthermore, there are plenty of creatures with wings surfce areas geater than those of butterflies (ie birds), however even they don't even create a large force. Therefore it is absurd to come to a conclusion that butterflies flapping their wings can create snowstorms.


answer:
The butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. I believe that this is possible.

Butterflies have the ability to flap their wings at extraordinary speeds. If a swarm of butterflies were to flap their wings at such speed, then it is possible that the air that is jiggles can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. They are not causing the snowstorm alone, but with the help of a gush of wind they can aid it to become a snowstorm. 

In Brazil the winds travel to Alaska. If the butterflies can jiggle their wings in the air in Brazil, this one little change can jiggle it's way to Alaska causing a larger snowstorm.


answer:
This is possible because you can apply this theory to something of a larger scale. For example, this can be linked to winds and how they affect weather conditions in areas. If this is demonstrated using a butterfly, we can predict that if a thousand butterflies flap their wings, it can cause great changes in the weather, but it all comes back to the one butterfly. This theory is attempting to explain that one little change in the weather can have a great impact on a climate pattern in the world. The use of this in a metaphorical sense allows it to be more relatable and relavant, but, yes, it is possible.


answer:
It has been said many times that the smallest thing can affect people in the biggest ways and i believe that this is true. If the direction of the wind is right, i believe, that something as small as a butterfly can truly help (being the main word) cause a snowstorm in Alaska.

Sometimes even if we think that it isn't possible for a small thing to affect big things, but if a butterfly flaps its' wings at the same time that a snowstorm is inevitable in Alaska, i think that it coud affect it.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that surround the earth. They are there to partially trap the heat rays from the sun that bounce back so that the earth can be fit for human and flora and fauna life. A few of the gases include Carbon Dioxide and Methane. After there is a border around the earth of these gases, the UV rays would bounce back onto the earth and continue to heat it up. It is important we have these gases to trap a bit of heat otherwise the earth would be at minus degrees temperatures which is not possible for humans to live in.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle where carbon is turned into oxygen through plants. The trees and plants absorb the carbon dioxide during the day and release oxygen so that humans can breathe it in. However, at night the trees will release this carbon dioxide into the air. Humans, on the other hand, do the opposite. We breathe in the oxygen provided by the plants and breathe out carbon dioxide that the plants absorb. The carbon cycle is important because the earth needs to be filled with oxygen in order for humans and animals to survive.


answer:
The climate and weather of a place is different. The climate type of a place is long-term and is constant. For example, the climate of Antartica is dry and cold however the climate of Brazil is wet and humid. Weather, on the other hand, is just temporary. It is something that happens for maybe a few days or even just a few hours. The weather of a place is for example, rain, hail, sunny, heat wave.


answer:
It is not always 100% correct however weather is possible to be predicted. By using satelites to look down upon the Earth's cloud movement, we can predict when it may rain or cloudy.


answer:
Since climate is fairly long term, climate is not able to be predicted. It is something that doesn't change and climate would only change after a long period of time.


answer:
Feedback is the different changes we notice with our climate changing.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium is dramatic changes in the climate.


answer:
The ermergent properties in climate systems are properties that are ermergent.


answer:
Global warming is a 'tragedy of the commons'


answer:
It's not very stable because its gradually warming and the temperature is going up.


answer:
This is called as the butterfly effect, the theory that bigger occurences start from something small. In this case, it is belived that a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska.
I believe that this is highly unlikely due to the distance and because the air that is juiggle will soon combined into the air around it, becoming normal once more. Just because somebody stomps on the ground in China does not mean that an earthquake will occur in Canada. The same applies to the butterfly affect and if it does exist, there is not much we can put in place to prevent the effects from continuing.


answer:
This is not possible, as the wings of a butterfly do not have a sufficient surface area to disturb an amount of particles large enough to cause a snowstorm. The particles that are affected by the butterfly flapping its wings are simply too few in volume to cause a disastrous event in another country. 
Think of it logically - every time a butterfly flaps its wings, does a snowstorm occur? It is extremely unlikely, as there are millions of butterflies on this earth, and many fewer snowstorms. Also, the movement of air particles does not necessarily mean that snow will be affected - it may cause air movement, but where does the snow come from? How is it caused simply by the movement of air? 
I cannot adequately answer these questions as I do not yet have enough knowledge, but I am under the distinct impression that the simple movement of a miniscule pair of wings will not cause a snowstorm in another country.


answer:
Yes but very rare, nearly impossible. The Butterfly Effect is something that has been scientifically investigated. The butterfly can trigger a wind movement that gathers speed as it moves north, which would trigger several wind movements that would lead to Alaska, and cause a snowstorm.


answer:
No. I believe this is NOT possible. A butterfly flapping its wings does not cause enough air movement to cause a snowstorm in Alaska. A butterfly is only a small part of huge ecosystem and if one butterfly could cause a stormstorm, far away on a separate continent, then many more bigger animals that just a butterfly would cause us to have a crazy chaotic climate system. A snowstorm is caused by large air movement and a butterfly is not significant enough to cause such an event.

However, if it does occur, it would be an EXTREMELY rare event.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases which retain heat in the atmosphere. Some of these gases are naturally occuring such as oxygen, but some excess gases are caused by the actions of humans, such as the burning of fossil fuels. These gases are important because they regulate the earth's temperature. Without these gases the earth could be around thirty degrees celcius cooler.


answer:
They are different. Weather is the short term conditions of an environment such as temperature, humidity and rainfall of a particular day, week or month, where as climate is weather data collected over a prolonged period of time (e.g one year and onwards) which provides a broad long term 'picture' of an area's weather conditions. 
Climate is catergorised into groups such as tropical, sub-tropical and temperate reflecting the weather conditions over observation of a long time, while weather is more of a short term observation.


answer:
Weather can be predicted somewhat correctly to a certain degree of accuracy ahead of around one week. The predicted data could still be incorrect to the actual conditions. All the factors of weather conditions change every second, minute and hour of the day no matter how subtle.


answer:
No. Climate is based on weather conditions over a periodd of time. Weather can only be predicted ahead of around a week, but climate is reflective of weather over time of at least one year. Weather conditions fluctuate and can be unpredictable.


answer:
The current global climate system is somewhat stable. The earth is warming slowly around one degree celcius every year, but generally the earth has not yet reached prolonged climate extremes.


answer:
No, this is not possible because such a small action cannot lead to such an event with such a large impact. Also, air cannot be 'jiggled' and air is forever constantly moving. A butterfly flapping its wings is just like someone respiring and you don't see someone's breathing creating a cyclone so why would a butterfly flapping its wings create such a large effect?


answer:
Greenhouse gases are products made from the burning of resources. They are important for they keep some of the sun's warmth in the earth's atmosphere which helps keep us warm.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the continuous recycling of carbon. The carbon cycle is important since all living things are made from the carbon atom.

all living things are made from the carbon atom
their compounds be solid liquid or gas
they can help form solid things like limestone
or squishy organisms like animals and plants


answer:
Weather and climate are 2 different things. Wind and rain are types of weather and they can cause the wearing away of rocks, whereas climate is temperature, air pressure systems and wind cycles which don't affect physical land features.


answer:
Weather can be predicted but these predictions are only approximate since the weather can change dramatically. Weather can only be predicted to up to 1 week.


answer:
Climate can be predicted as we can differ low pressure from high pressure air systems which push air from places to places. High pressure systems push warm air into areas of low pressure bringing different temperatures to the areas of low pressure.


answer:
No it isn't because climate change is affecting the earth's climate system. The melting of the ice caps is raising water levels on earth which in turn affect the way the climate behaves.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are created by many human activities, one being the burning of fossil fuels. It is important as it is one of the major factors of climate change. There is a layer around the earth that acts like a blanket, that protects the earth from the sun's powerful ultra violet (UV) rays. This layer lets some of the sun's rays into the earth's atmosphere and bounces some back. But when the greenhouse gases are created, it clashes with this layer around the earth, letting more rays of UV into the earth, therefore resulting in more hotter temperatures.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather is the change of temperature in a short period of time while climate is the change of the temperature over a long period of time.


answer:
Yes it can. There are weather stations and meteorologists who can predict the weather by looking at the earth's weather patterns.


answer:
No necessarily. Since climate occurs over a long period of time, it is harder to predict the climate.


answer:
For example, if the temperature gets warmer, the sea temperature will rise causing the sea ice to melt, destroying the habitat of many living animals. So if the number of these animals decrease, the predator of these animals will also decrease.


answer:
No, many people are still not full aware of the dangers of climate change, therefore they are not necessarily trying to help keep the climate systems stable.


answer:
The theory that a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus help cause a snowstorm in Alaksa is definitely popular. There is a fine line between people that believe it and people that don't. There are many reasons to prove that the theory is not correct. 

The effect of a butterfly flapping its wings would only affect the air surrounding the butterfly in a radius of probably double its winspan at the most. Even though there could be a ripple affect, just the simple flaps of a butterfly would definitely not be able to start a full snowstorm. 

Also, snowstorm don't just 'happen' because of changes in the air. It is something that can be predicted a few days before by looking at the clouds. If a butterfly flapping today, it couldn't start a snowstorm that was planned a few days before. Even if a buttefly flapping today, and there is a snowstorm about a few days next, its definitely not the cause of it. 

In conclusion, it is definitely not possible for the little movement of a butterfly to start a snowstorm somewhere else.


answer:
This is not possible. The movement of the flappping of a butteefly's wings is far too minute to generate a snowstorm. Snowstorms are caused by weather conditions such as winds and tides, not the movement of objects. If the flapping of a butterfly's wings caused a snowstorm, by following this theory it would be reasonable to say a person who jumped once on the ground of Australia could cause an earthquake in the North Pole, which is DEFINATELY NOT true.


answer:
I believe that it is not possible as a butterfly will not make such a huge difference in the Earth's climate. Though the Earth's climate is suspectible to change a single butterfly would not able to change the Earth's weather systems so easily. 
A single butterfly, 'jiggling' the air near the Equator would be able to change the weather of Alaska. Weather is created by the heating and cooling of air. When the air is near ther Equator, the air is heated by the sun as it is closer to the sun than the poles. Because the air is heated, it rise and is moved up to the poles as the air has to fill up the space. It is cooled by the poles as is forced back down to the Equator. Thus creating the currents and the weather patterns that we see. A single butterfly 'jiggling' the air would not have a huge effect on this weather system and patterns.
I believe it is not possible as a single butterfly jiggling the air would not create a snow storm as it would not have such a huge consequence. Also due to the fact that there are immense number of different species of butterfly in Brazil alone not that many snow storm makes me believe that if it is possible, it is very unlikely.


answer:
A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can move the air but this air cannot stir up a snowstorm. Snow storms can only occur when natural winds blow while snow falls and areas of snow. The wind made by the butterfly is not natural and therefore cannot cause or affect a snow storm. Also butterflies wings are very delicate making it very difficult to make strong winds - strong enough to affect physical land features. If the wind from a butterfly's wings is not able to move a physical land feature, it will not be able to affect a snowstorm plus the air from butterfly's wings are not natural so it cannot do anything to stir up such a storm.


answer:
No, the flapping of the butterfly's wings in Brazil can not help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. 

As, firstly, the flapping of a butterfly's wings are not big enough to cause any sort of wind or even for this matter, snow. Snowstorms are caused by drastic weather patterns. Thus it is not possible for a butterfly's wings' to cause a snowstorm.

Secondly, Alaska is nowhere near where Brazil. So even if a butterfly in Brazil, did cause a snowstorm it wouldn't be in Alaska, as it on the other side of the earth. Therefore the flapping of a butterfly's wind can not cause a snowstorm in Alaska.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the effect of the trapping of heat in the atmosphere. WIthout greenhouse gases, the Earth would be considerably colder as they help keep the Earth warm.


answer:
Carbon dioxide being either absorbed by the ocean or converted to oxygen by the trees.


answer:
No weather is the temperature and conditions at one particular place at one time whereas climate is the long term weather.


answer:
Yes because climate can be gathered from the past results.


answer:
Trees take carbon dioxide and convert it to oxygen.


answer:
greenhouse gases are harmful gases that get released into the atmosphere because of pollution and harm the ozone layer, creating 'holes', which allow more UV radiation to enter the earth. This heats up the earth more than normal and may melt the polar ice caps, causing severe flooding on lands below sea level.


answer:
They are different: weather is the immediate qualities of an area, such as sunny, overcast, windy, while climate is the long term quality of an area,e.g. Australia is a dry country, rainforests are wet and tropical.


answer:
it cannot be predicted more than a week before as the weather is affected by many things such as wind patterns, heat waves and human activity itself. This is why it can't be predicted for more than a week before a certain day.


answer:
climate can be predicted as it's a long term quality of an area, so after some experiments, we can find out if the area will be hot in the future or if it would be tropical.


answer:
at this rate, with all the pollution going on, the earth is going to warm up faster and faster. If it is not stopped, the polar ice caps would melt causing severe flooding and infertile soil.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases that are trapped within the Earth's ozone layer, unable to radiate out of it, therefore trapping heat with them. They are important as they sustain the Earth's temperature and keep us warm.


answer:
Climate is any change in temperature, wind or rain over a long period of time. Weather is similar, but can be recorded for any period of time, and predicted a week in advance.


answer:
Yes, with trends in data collected from the past.


answer:
No. An increase in our individual carbon footprint has lead to a jump in the amount of harm done to the ozone layer, leaving us on the receiving end of an Earth with melting ice caps and rapidly rising sea levels.


answer:
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm, by trapping some of the heat released by the sun. Some greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and water vapour. These are important because without them, the earth would be approximately 35 degrees cooler.


answer:
Weather and climate are different, climate focuses on things like cold and warm fronts and pressure systems, and weather focuses on more general things like temperature and rainfall.


answer:
Yes, but only within the next few days. Once you start trying to predict the weather more than a week before it happens, your predictions become less accurate because weather has not been fully understood by scientists.


answer:
Maybe? There are many predictions about how the climate will be at the end of this year, but until that time comes, we won't know if the prediction is accurate or not.


answer:
No, because parts of Antarctica and the Arctic circle are melting, and there are more heatwaves, and England is actually warm, and this year's 'winter' feels like spring, and the world is getting warmer everyday because humans are producing too much greenhouse gases by burning fossil fuels and destroying the ozone layer and getting rid of forests.


answer:
Grennhouse gases are natural gases emitted from the Earth. They help keep the gases in the Earth at stable levels.


answer:
The carbon cycle is aimed at recycling carbon so it can be used again and again


answer:
Weather is the tempertaure, wind speed, humidity etc. estiumated for a particular day. Climate on the other hand is the avergae weather over several years on a partcular area.


answer:
Weather can be predicated by weather forecasts which look at the expected rainfall and tempertaure through the use of scientific utilities.


answer:
Climate can also be predicted by looking at past climate data and then makeing an educated guess on what it is likely to be in the future.


answer:
I don think the current global climate system is stable beacuse the human population is using up a lot of the resources such as coal which then couse fossil fuels. Lots of harmful ases are being emitted by the human popluation which are not beneficial for the current global climate system. If we continue like this, it could be very harmful for the next genertions to come.


answer:
Greeenhouse gases are gases for example co2 and methane that trap the heat on earth from radiating into space. They are important in maintaining the earth's temperature for life.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather is the short-term change in the atmosphere whereas climate is the long-term change in the atmosphere over a period of time.


answer:
Weather can be predicted in a week in advance, but not any further because the atmosphere changes very rapidly.


answer:
Climate can be predicted because it is based on information gathered over a long span of time and it calculated from recorded information.


answer:
Examples of feedback in the climate system are flooding, droughts, storms, cyclones, tornadoes and rainfall.


answer:
The current global climate system is more stable than not, but in the future it won't be. Temperatures are just slightly higher and if there is a steady increase in co2 and methane gases it will no longer be appropiate for life on earth.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that are trapped inside the earth's atmosphere and reflected back to the earth. As a result, the earth heats up and the grenhouse effect takes place.


answer:
The carbon cycle is a cycle of carbon that is released into our atmosphere. Plants like trees absorb this carbon and convert it during the process of photosynthesis. It is important because if there is too much carbon in the air it will be poisonous to most species on Earth.


answer:
No, weather is the conditions of a certain place at a certain time, while climate is the conditions of an area over a long period of time.


answer:
The weather is often predictable within a time span of a week but after that, it is difficult to tell.


answer:
The current global climate system is not stable right now because of global warming and climate change. It is causing different parts of the Earth to become warmer than usual and this makes the system unstable.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases which are trapped inside the earth's atmosphere and slowly heat up the earth. They are important because they contribute to climate change.


answer:
weather and climate are different things. weather describes the temperature on a certain day whereas climate is an average temperature over a longer range, e.g. a month, or year.


answer:
weather is a highly dependent variable, the outcome of the weather depends on several variables making it hard to predict how it will turn out. but yes, the weather can be predicted as a prediction does not necessarily mean the guess is correct, it means the guess is well informed.


answer:
yes, the climate can be predicted. the climate is ranged over many days and months, so it may be easier to guess the average temperature of a certain place than to guess the temperature of a certain day and place.


answer:
no. studies have shown that the global climate has been rising, global warming.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that form a layer in the earth's atmosphere. They trap part of the sun's heat within the earth, which is what keeps the earth at a hospitable temperature to life forms and allows it to sustain life.


answer:
The carbon cycle involves the 'lifespan' of carbon produced on earth. For instance, trees die and are buried underground for many years. This stores the carbon undeground. If it's dug up by humans and burnt, the carbon is released into the atmosphere.


answer:
Weather refers to temperature or conditions on a particular day; climate refers to weather patterns over a long period of time.


answer:
Weather can be forecast to a certain extent when people observe the way tides, currents, breezes, and hot/cold fronts are moving and make a prediction about what we think may happen in the near future.


answer:
Climate can be forecast to a certain extent; people may observe the way weather patterns have been changing over a long period of time as well as trends (e.g. rising temperatures) and make a reasonable, educated guess about what might happen next.


answer:
The way living things behave in climate systems.


answer:
The 'tragedy of the commons' relates to parts of the world owned by everyone but taken responsibility for by none. For instance, the atmosphere and air is a 'common' since, although there is no way to distinguish whose air it is, everyone uses (breathes in) it, and there is no way to make anyone take responsibility because it is common property.


answer:
The current global climate system is quite unstable as there have been a number of destructive natural disasters recently, and good evidence to suggest that human activities are affecting the earth and creating an unstable environment to live in.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases that are produced by the suns ultra-violet radition. it is important because it is able to protect the earth.


answer:
the carbon cycle is the movement and storage of carbon within the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and lithosphere.


answer:
Weather and climate are not the same. Weather is a variety of information related to the atmosphere for a specific date or time. Climate is an average of atmospheric data collected over a long period of time.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to a certain extent, however it can not be 100% accurate. Weather can be predicted through observation and studies of the movements of pressure systems, hot and cold fronts and other geographic terms.


answer:
Climate can also be predicted to a certain extent, however it also can not be 100% accurate. This is because there are many influencing factors. In order to predict climate, it is necessary to monitor weather over a pro-longed period of time (dozens of years).


answer:
air, water, fire and earth are the dynamic equilibrium. this is because they are the influencing factors that determine climate systems


answer:
Floods, earthquakes, droughts are examples of 'tragedy of the commons'. This is because they are on both sides of the extremes of common weather


answer:
It is not stable. It is not stable due to the concept of global warming. Due to the rapidly depleating of the ozone layer, the ice caps are melting. This results in rising sea levels as well as an increase in temperature and in extreme weather. (e.g. floods, heatwaves, droughts etc.)


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that occur naturally in the Earth's atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane that trap some of the Sun's warmth reflected off the Earth's surface, essentially being a blanket. Without greenhouse gases, they Earth would be 30degrees Celcius colder than it is now.


answer:
No idea, but I think it's where carbon dioxide is absorbed into carbon-dioxide-abosorbing organisms and is stored in them until they are either burnt to release the carbon inside or left to stay inside when the organism dies.


answer:
They are different - climate is where there are long-term changes in the Earth's atmosphere over a specific area - weather is much more short-term and can range over different places.


answer:
Weather can be predicted, but the outcome may vary, since it's hard to predict something in the future with all the uncertainities where swirls and eddies of air can change the weather.


answer:
Because climate is much more progressive, it can be easier to predict what it would be like years from now, judging from averaging data collected.


answer:
For example, scientists have predicted that the Earth will become warmer due to global warming effects, and it has been proving true so far - winter in Australia seems warmer now and summer is searing hot, when compared to earlier data of temperatures in Australia for example in 1990.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrum in climate systems is essentially where if one place is cold, then there must be some other time where it could be warmer, or the climate changes. This is a guess.


answer:
No it isn't - that much I know. The definition of stable in climate would be that of minor changes or fluctuations to an otherwise constant and relatively predictable flow of weather, but it seems that, especially in temperate areas of the world the extreme differences of Summer and Winter and perhaps fading, with Winter becoming warmer and Summer remaining as a very hot season.


answer:
I dont think it would be possible for one butterfly alone to be able to create a snowstorm in Alaska. To create a snowstorm a lot of force, power and energy would be recquired and a little butterfly flapping its wings wouldnt provied this


answer:
In a way, this is possible, but in another way, it's quite ridiculous. A single butterfly could move some air in Brazil, which could move more air, and this air could slowly move towards Alaska and get bigger as it progresses, causing a snowstorm. However, if this theory was actually true, there would probably be a million storms happening at once because of the large population of butterflies, and this would probably turn the world into a dystopia.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases that are produced by the green house effect. The gases prodcued are harmful to the environment, including the climate. Greenhouse agses also contribute to pollution and global warming.


answer:
Weather and climate are different.
The climate is the changing weather.It includes rainfall, wind speed etc in climate. Climate is calculated throughout the year or a group of years.
The weather is the temerapture of a certain place.


answer:
Weather can usually be predicted, depending on the temperature, humidity, wind speed etc.


answer:
Climate can not be predicted. Climate can not be predicted as it is a calculation after a year or more. Thus, rainfall, humidity etc must be calculated and due to global warming and the changing environment, none of these can be predicted.


answer:
No, the current global system is not stable. This is because the climate can not stay the same due to global warming. Due to the new technology and the harmful gases emitted, the environement is changing, thus, the climate is not stable.


answer:
greenhouse gases are important because they keep the earth's temperature stable and livable and 33 degrees warmer (on average) than it would be without them.
they are the gases that reflect back the sun's warmth and heat to the earth, thus helping the earth retain it's warmth
CO2 and methane are some of the gases


answer:
the carbon cycle is the cycle of carbon dioxide in the world. it is in the air, then absorbed by the trees, and as the trees die and are turned into coal then burnt as fuel, the carbon dioxide is released again into the air


answer:
weather is generally used in the short term, as in today, tommorrow, whereas climate is used for a longer period of time, and the generalisation of the weather systems


answer:
with todays technology, weather can be reasonably predicted to the next couple of days, but it is not entirely accurate, as the weather can change at a moments notice


answer:
climate can be predicted because the climate of a place is based on its position on the earth
for example, the areas around the equator would be hot because the sunlight reaches the equator first, and thus would be hot all year round


answer:
the current global climate system is not very stable because the earth is warming up due to the interference of mankind and the subsequent burning of fossil fuels, creating much more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
although the temperature is increasing at a predicted rate, the warming up of the world affects nature with even the slightest change in temperature


answer:
Greenhouse gases are types of gases which trap heat in the earth's atmosphere. They create a layer above the earth which does not allow the reflecting sun's rays to bounce out into space. Carbon dioxide is an example of a greenhouse gas.

They are important because they trap enough heat in to keep the night warm, when the sun's rays is not directed at us. Without greenhouse gases, the earth's average temperature could be approximately -18 degrees celcius.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the release of carbon dioxide through humans, human waste into the atmosphere. Plants absorb the carbon dioxide.

It is important because it affects our earth's temperature, air and environment. It also keeps the plants alive, therefore animals and other forms of nature. Without carbon, we would have nothing living.


answer:
Weather is short term which can mainly referring to temperature and atmosphere. Weather includes rainy, sunny, windy, snow, cold or hot.

Climate refers to long term weather, usually over a period of time. Climate states the general temperature, humidity, atmosphere. For example, a desert's climate is usually hot and dry, whereas a tropical rainforest would be wet and humid.


answer:
Weather can be predicted, because we have satellites and other forms of technology which help us foretell the weather. We see the weather forecast on the news, which is very accurate. The use of the satellites can show us the cloud movements, cold fronts, high and low pressure systems, rain. However sometimes weather is not predicted exactly, as there are still many parts of nature which humans do not fully understand.


answer:
Climate can be predicted because there are patterns. For example, central Australia has always been hot and dry, therefore we can predict that the climate of central Australia is hot and dry. Using statistics from before, we can graph the climate and predict future climates. For example, we know that the earth is warming up, from comparing previous temperature records to present records.


answer:
Probably something which stands out. Such as the sudden rise in temperature.


answer:
Nope. Our globe's temperature is gradually rising due to the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. We have sudden changes in weather such as floods, dust storms, bushfires. THe poles are melting.


answer:
This interesting idea may infact be possible as everything is connected one way or another. If a worm is moved from an area by a human, a bird and it's family may go hungry and die, causing ants to feast on the remains. While the ants are milling around the bodies of the birds they may get killed by predators or may get caught in an ant mill (an interesting accident where the lead ant follows the trail pheromone of the last ant and they keep going in a circle until they die of exhaustion). This ant mill may kill the whole colony and their corpses would fertilise the soil allowing more plants to grow out of the soil, which in turn would allow more oxygen to be released into the atmosphere and would clean the air so all animals who breath oxygen would continue living. As you saw, this all occured because one human picked up a worm before a bird got to it. This led to a series of effects and kept going like a domino effect and kept building up. So the line 'a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska' may very well be possible.


answer:
I don't think this is realistic unless the force the butterfly exerts into the air when it flaps its wings is great enough to change the wind patterns in the atmosphere and these wind patterns are strong enough to change the climate and cause a snowstorm all the way in Alaska.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are a combinatin of gases enveloping the earth, primarily composed of carbon dioxide. They are important because they absorb solar radiation, therefore deterring the planet from overheating.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the movement of carbon through different forms, such as gas in the atmosphere and in plants. It is important because it is essential for plants to grow, and plants produce oxygen, which enables humans and other species to grow.


answer:
Weather and climate are not the same thing. Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a given time and climate is the state of the atmosphere over a period of time.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to a certain extent, as people can look at the patterns of the winds and clouds on the earth and guess the conditions coming because of the pattern seen by the elements, e.g. cold fronts.


answer:
Climate cannot be predicted as the elements can take erratic turns, changing the weather for that day and therefore altering the climate. It is hard to predict the climate accurately because winds are everchanging and can drastically alter conditions. However, the naming of the seasons and the conditions they bring are predictions of climate, which are often correct but are recently seen as being proved wrong e.g. hot weather in winter.


answer:
Feedback is the effect of human actions on the climate systems. An example of feedback can be the excessive relase of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere leading to the warming ofthe earth.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium would mean that the elements must balance out and owrk in harmony in order to creat idyllistic conditions on this planet. For example if there is too much rain combined with too much cloud cover, the area would be created into a marshland of some sort, as it would be too much rain and not enough evaporation.


answer:
Properties that are not natural to the climate system but have been recently observed e.g. acid rain.


answer:
No, because our destructive human actions are leading to the degradation of the planet for future generations.


answer:
This is not at all possible as the sheer difference in distance between Alaska and Brazil would be just too much to even trigger the lightest breeze anywhere near it. This also in comparison to the small size of a butterfly just doesn't make sense. Even with the power of 100 butterflies 'jiggling the air' it would not be enough to cause even a quarter of the energy required to create a snowstorm, let alone in Alaska. Snowstorms are caused by rapid, strong winds blowing over areas of loose snow, and a butterfly even in Alaska on site of where the snowstorm were to be would not be able to contribute to it at the slightest.


answer:
'A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus can help create a snowstorm in Alaska'

This is not possible because only a lot of butterflies would be able to create enough of an effect but even then not all the way to Alaska. Instead of blaming it on nature we have to assess all the different activities that humans do even closer to Alaska that 'jiggle the air'

Even if Brazil was close to Alaska, we can assume that it is not because butterflies need it to be a certain temperature to even fly. On top of that, butterfly populations are generally restricted in that most only live for a couple of days, maybe weeks. 

Other aspects of nature too, like the butterfly, 'jiggle the air' like birds whom certainly move the air rather than just floatng-like movements like the butterfly.

In conclusion, it appears that the theory of butterflies affecting snowstorms in Alaska seems highly unlikely and therefore can safely conclude it to be not possible.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the byproduct of burning fossil fuels. THey are important because a buildup of these gases could potentially heat up the earth and disturb the balance of life on earth.


answer:
I have no idea what the carbon cycle is. Perhaps it is when plants die and over hundreds of years become carbon which we then burn and release carbon back into the atmosphere. THe plants then change intake this carbon and change it into oxygen.


answer:
Different,the weather is whether it is sunny or rainy today or tomorrow, so what will it be like in the short term, that is weather. Climate is like what it is like in the long term. for example, ths country is very humid.


answer:
I don't think so. THe weather is always changing so you cannot really predict it in the long term but I guess you can predict what it will be like in a few days time.


answer:
I'm not quite sure. But I guess so, because why would we know about climate change and what will happen to the earth in the long term?


answer:
No, the current climate system is not stable due to humans burning fossil fuels and releasing carbon into the atmosphere, which in turn disturbs the balance of life on earth. it is not stable because the world is warming up and environmental systems are becoming unbalanced. for example the migration of birds and whether or not there will be food at the destination. Also, pollution is also fatal to not only animals but also humans. .


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases such as carbon dioxide, oxygon , nitrogen etc. in the atmosphere that trap the heat rays of the sun that are reflected and absorbed off the earth. They are important as they keep the earth's temperature warm enough for ecosystems to survive and grow.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle that carbon dioxide goes through to end up in the atmosphere. This is from living things such as animals and humans, breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide which is put into the air. This carbon dioxide is then a part of photosynthesis by plants where they 'breathe' in the carbon dioxide and then 'breathe' out oxygen, thus creating the cycle that balances out.


answer:
I don't think that weather and climate are the same. Weaher is the temperature and conditions of the day (sunny, rain, cloudy, storm)whereas climate is the range of weather over time which is then compared to make a conclusion (about our atmosphere or about why temperatures are rising or dropping).


answer:
Weather can be predicted, but only a few days beforehand (so you ccan't properly predict the weather a month or year before the actual day/date). This is because of weather stations that receive information about changes in the atmosphere and temperatures through satelites in space and devices such as weather balloons that are placed in the air (in the clouds).


answer:
Climate is harder to predict (than weather) that in some sense, it can't be predicted. It requires more data and can change. The only thing is that we can guess that if we put more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, it will become a=warmer and climate change wil occur more rapidly.


answer:
There are attempts to cut back on emissions where each country is given an amount of emissions to remove so it is growing more positive.


answer:
where agriculture and deforestation is causing plants to be removed and ersion to happen and so, taking away the sources needed to help take out carbon dioxide from the atmsophere.


answer:
The current global climate system is not exctly stable, but on the rise. We are using so much energy and power(electricity) that is produced from the burning fossil fuels that more and more carbon dioxide is placed in the atmosphere that is hard to take back. This is further fueled by deforestation and land clearing where plants which take out carbon dioxide are removed.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that warm up the earth. They come from sun rays that become trappd in the atmosphere and warm up the Earth's surface and lower atmospere. They are important because without them the Earth wouild be around 30 degrees colder and we wouldn't be alive.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle of carbon dioxide being released and aborbed into the atmospere. Trees need carbon dioxide to produce sugar, however when the trees get chopped down or burnt the carbon is released back into the atmosphere. It is important because trees need carbon dioxide to live and we need trees to breathe..?


answer:
Different, we are able to predict climate easily as it is a long term variation in the temperature and atmosphere, whereas weather changes daily and is hard to predict. Scientists can predict the climate over the next few years however weather is unpredictable and hard to predict further than a week.


answer:
Yes, but not accurately as weather can be changed by a number of ways and is changing all the time. It is very difficult to predict weather further than a week, and the weather predicitons are changed all the time as the time approaches.


answer:
Yes, it can be predicted because it is a long term change and is easy to see. For example scientists can predict that the next summer is going to be the hottest in a very long time.


answer:
Examples include the environment responding to the climate system, so how well the plants and animals respond to the climate and the rate in which they breed or prosper.


answer:
Some examples of dynamic equilibriums in climate systems are the temperature of the climate and the equilibrium of plants and animals in the ecosystem.


answer:
Examples are the alarming number of one breed in scale to other breeds. ?


answer:
Water is a tragedy of the commons, as water is extremely common however a large number of it is undrinkable or polluted.


answer:
No, temperatures are rising and Australian winters are becoming warmer and summer is becoming increasingly hot. There are a lotmore heatwaves now than before, and this is because of global warming. There are too many greenhouse gases trapped in the atmosphere due to the large amounts of carbon dioxide that traps greenhouse gases.


answer:
I thinkit is not possible as the amount of air 'jiggled' by the butterfly's wings would be too minute to cause a full scale snowstomr in alaska. Furthermore, the distance between the countries would be too great to make any difference.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that are in our atmosphere that trap incoming radiation on earth from the sun in order to stabilize our planet's temperature. They are important because if we didn't have these gases, our planet would freeze.


answer:
All living things are based on the carbon atom. Like the water cycle, the carbon cycle goes round and round. The carbon cycle is so important because the carbon atom allows living organisms to exist.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather is based on a particular day and can fluctuate radically (it's widely unpredictable). Climate is the average state of the atmosphere over a very long time.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to a certain extent (about a week in advance). Weather  varies radically and therefore is hard to predict accurately. Wind systems which make up a large part of the weather are extremely complex and are hard to read accurately.


answer:
Climate can be predicted more accurately because an area's climate is determined over a long period of time and would probably show patterns of incline or decline and they would remain constant and readable.


answer:
Water, air (atmosphere)
Tragedy of the commons are resources that belong to no particular country therefore no country takes responsibility for them when they are being ruined and depleted.


answer:
NO. The way in which we use our resources is not safe for our global climate system. Temperatures are rising dramatically which affects countless aspects of our environment. If humans continue in the way we are, sooner or later we will have no global climate system.


answer:
i do not think this is possible. It takes very heavy winds to cause a snowstorm and a butterfly probably could not make enough wind to cause a snowstorm from Brazil in Alaska. But it may be possible, I heard that a man could stop another man just by using his voice. If the butterfly focuses very hard on causing a snowstorm maybe it can do it.


answer:
I do not think this is possible, because the scale of a butterfly compared to a snowstorm is too large. Snowstorms are causued by a large amount of pressure such as a huge wind. The fluttering of a butterfly's wings is not a lot of pressure.


answer:
Greenhouse gasses are the gasses in the Earths atmosphere can allow the greenhouse effect to take place. These gasses are important as it retains some of the heat from the suns rays so that the earths average temperature is not dramatically cold.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle in which carbon is transfered around the biosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and the atmosphere. It is important because carbon is part of all life forms on earth. It affects all the spheres and all the spheres are interconnected meaning that if something goes wrong in one sphere, it will affect all the other spheres.


answer:
Weather and climate is not the same thing. Climate is the average pattern of weather conditions over a long period of time whilst weather is something that is measured everyday.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to some extent but you can never be 100% sure. The weather can be 'predicted' due to the movement of the wind or the movement of airmasses around the earth and depending on where the wind comes from and what the conditions of the airmass is, it can affect the weather in that certain area.


answer:
no, climate can not be predicted as climate is the average of weather conditions over a long period of time. to figure out the climate of a certain area you need to find an average of the weather conditions in a long period of time and as the weather conditions may change it is very hard to predict climate and only an educated guess can be made about future climate conditions.


answer:
right now i believe that the global climate system IS stable but if we continue to go on at the rate we are going in terms of using large amount of carbon and burning fossil fuel etc. we are going to affect the global climate system and it can cause a dramatic change to the global climate. It is shown that the globe is slowly getting hotter and this can cause the ice to melt at both the poles causing sea levels to rise which can affect the climate dramaticaly.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the different gases that are present in our atmosphere, these including gases such as carbon dioxide,oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen. They ar important in the way that together they create a filtering barrier that repels the majority of dangerous UV rays from the sun, while at the same time absorbs a smaller percentage of it to warm the Earth to a necessary temperature for life.


answer:
The carbon cycle perhaps is the process in which carbon dioxide is released by various methods such as breathing, the burning of fossil fuels, cars etc. This is then filtered by the various plant forms which, through the natural process of photosynthesis, convert passed carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose and thus creating a carbon cycle in the way that living organisms breathe this in, continuing the cycle.


answer:
Weather is fairly unpredictable, in the way that we can only pre-forecast it at most 1-2 weeks ahead of time, due to the constant changes in current flow. While climate is an extended record of our Earth's changing behaviour through longer periods of time.


answer:
As mentioned before, it can only be vaguely predicted about a week or two ahead of time, and even this is not always accurate, due to the constant changes in current flow around the world.


answer:
Future climate can be estimeated to some extent, by studying patterns and trends in climate records in the past.


answer:
As of the present,our current global climate system in not as stable, due to the increasion of global warming, due to the over-release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which is affecting the trends in climate.


answer:
It is not possible, because a butterfly is small the the jiggled air is not nearly enough to cause a snowstorm which is greater in size than a butterfly. The butterfly can on contribute a small amount of jiggled air, not enough to make a difference. It requires a large amount of energy, wind or whatever to start a anowstorm.

In addition the energy created by the jiggled air would not be great enough to reach another country/continent. Brazil and Alaska have a fair distance between one another.
If you were to say there were tens if thousands of butterflies flapping their wings creating jiggled air there might be an affect on the land surrounding.


answer:
I don't think it's possible for a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil to cause a snowstorm in Alaska. 

Firstly, snow is caused by condensation in clouds becoming too heavy and falling back to the earth. The butterfly cannot speed up this process. 

Secondly, even if the butterfly could 'jiggle' the air, it might have a similar effect to a sea breeze in that more air would come in to replace the air the butterfly's wings displaced, which would amount to little more than a slight gust.

Thirdly, the butterfly is in Brazil, which is quite far away from Alaska. Assuming that the butterfly was an ordinary butterfly, every flying insect of equal or greater size would also cause snowstorms in other parts of the world, which would result in a very large number of snowstorms indeed.

Therefore, I don't think it's possible for a butterfly to create a snowstorm.


answer:
I don't think so. If it was believed that the butterfly could disturb the wind currents by flapping its wings and therefore cause a snowstorm in Alaska, I do not think it is possible.


answer:
It is possible for a butterfly flapping it's wings in Brazil help cause a snowstorom in Alaska. 
No matter how small the butterfly is, it is still flapping it's wings in the wind, thus, 'jiggling' the air.
As the wings are flapping, causing a slight change in the air, the wind may change or blow differently than normal. This may eventually make a different impact on something or somewhere else. 
For instance, the air that the butterfly flapped its wings in may cause a different wind speed. This causes the wind to get stronger, thus carrying more when it is blowing. In Alaska, the wind speed may cause an impact on the snow, causing a snow storm.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat from the Sun. They can be natural gases like carbon dioxide, or unnatural like CFCs. These gases helps us as without the gases, Earth would be much colder than what it is now.


answer:
Where carbon is being 'recycled'. 
It allows carbon to be used in different ways.


answer:
They are different.
Climate is the weather, but also other different things, like humidity. It is also the surrounding environment, like for example in a desert, its climate would be dry, arid and hot.
Weather relates to climate, as the type of climate will effect the weather.


answer:
Weather can be predicted from the climate, however, it isn't accurate as the climate is not always constant, and may sometimes have dramatic changes. We can predict where there might be cyclones and tornadoes, from satellite imaging, and measuring wind speeds, but with rain, we can only predict from the location of cloud and temperatures.


answer:
We can predict that the climate of Earth from the surounding environment or measurings of temperature or weather that are recorded, though we can never be sure. We know that that the temperature is rising, but we do no know when it will reach certain temperatures.


answer:
Feedback in climate systems may be when there is an event, for an example excess of rain, and the climate is effected as  a result, e.g. it is a lot more humid.


answer:
A balance in climate systems that flows smoothly.


answer:
Examples of certain aspect of climate, particular to a climate system.


answer:
Rainfall is not equal in all areas on Earth. Some areas get a lot more rainfall than others, making a big difference in their climates. Places like the deserts of Africa, and Central Australia get little or not rainfall for some weeks or months.


answer:
It is not stable. Countries produce more and more greenhouse gases every single year, leading to a warmer earth. Recently, there has been more heat waves, with places like Sydney and London reaching record temperatures. Though scientists cannot know for certain if this is related to global warming, there are other warning like the melting of the Arctic and Antarctic regions.


answer:
The saying, 'A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus help cause a snowstorm in Alaska' is not possible. 

This is because in order for a snowstorm to occur, it does not merely require a miniscue amount of wind. Also the amount of movement of air particles created by the butterfly would not be significant enough to be able to cause a product of such high magnitude.

Even if such a small movement was able to creat a snow storm, there is the issue of it would have the strength to overcome the strong winds created by the oceans and the possiblity of tornados/cyclones/hurricanes that occur near the equator.


answer:
I don't feel as though this is possible. Brazil and Alaska are so far apart and it feels highly unplausible that a small butterfly could cause such a snowstorm. I even find it unlikely that the butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil could even cause a gust of wind in Brazil. The idea of 'jiggling the air' also doesn't make sense to me.


answer:
I do not believe that this is possible as a small movement of a butterfly in Brazil could not cause a dramatic weather change in Alaska. Although it may be able to 'help' change the weather, the main cause of the snowstorm would probably be the amount of water droplets in the air, the temperature of the area at a certain time and the wind.


answer:
greenhouse gases are gases such as carbon dioxide and are released through human activity, inustrialisation and the natural decompisition of matter.
they are important because plants use carbon dioxide in order to produce oxygen.


answer:
it involves carbon atoms rotating around our ecosystem and this is important because it allows all living things to function.


answer:
the difference between weather and climate is a time measurement. weather is conditions of the atmosphere over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere changes over a relatively long periods of time.


answer:
no
because weather forces can all act together in different ways and so there are many different outcomes which makes one definite prediction very difficult to ascertain


answer:
yes.
climate is driven by earth's energy imbalance and as such, is more predictable


answer:
dynamic equilibrium is where the climate system is stable and there is no change


answer:
emergent properties are properties that do not naturally exist within the climate system but occur artificially.


answer:
it is where natural resources are unequally distributed and this is a 'tragedy' as the resources are global.


answer:
no
the release of green house gases is faster than the rate of absorption by plants. this is causing an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the natural release of gases through the process of flora and fauna dying out and passing waste/wind.
They are important because they affect the way our weather and climate is as the gases (e.g. methane) rise up into the atmosphere and work to trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the process of the breaking down and reforming of carbon molecules and the other substances they make.
It is important because the amount of carbon in the air changes the (average) temperature of the Earth. This change can sometimes have a drammatic impact on the world, for example; with the periods of time when the Earth became extremely heated due to the lack of flora and in these periods there was little oxygen in the air.


answer:
Weather and climate are different because weather refers to the change in the atmosphere on a constant basis while climate refers to different zones where a certain type of landscape forms (e.g. rainforest, desert)


answer:
Weather can be predicted however it is never certain. It can be predicted by using data from satellites which show wind currents and the direction that clouds are moving. However more clouds can be created very quickly which means that the prediction for weather can sometimes be very wrong. Opposing this is also the fact that clouds can spread and then become no more.


answer:
A climate cannot be predicted for climates are fairly stable and should not change often, however if they do this would be the result of a large scale disaster whether it be a flood, drought or even a meteor hitting the Earth.


answer:
Feedback in climate systems are the data that is collected which can change or are changing the certain climate and in what way. This can include humidity, rainfall or wind.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium is the balance of the ecosystems in the certain climate and how much each animal/plant in each ecosystem is affecting it or keeping the ecosystem stable or completely destroying it.


answer:
'Emergent properties in climate systems' are the properties of a climate system which are changing the system very quickly or propeties of the system which stand out.


answer:
An example of the 'tragedy of the commons' in climate systems 
*whispers* I don't knooow


answer:
It is not very stable. This is because of the amount of carbon dioxide we are releasing into the atmosphere, this can be through fossil fuels, car fumes, using electricity or use aerosoles. These can affect the 'layer' around our Earth which can trap and release heat from the sun whether it is by thickening it or by depleting the amount of ozone (O3) in the ozone layer.


answer:
A butterfly is a small creature, compared to the vastness of an Alaskan snowstorm. Winds around the Earth flow currents of air, blowing air in the Northern Hemisphere clockwise, and in the Southern Hemisphere anti-clockwise.

It's rather a presumptious saying to claim that a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil could help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. A butterfly can produce such little wisps of air, while a raging snowstorm could cover kilometers across and have winds up to 65km/hr - it's just not plausible to be able to presume this to be true.

In addition, a butterfly's little wisps of displaced air would not be able to go past the other currents of air circulating around the atmosphere enough to be able to help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. If such a thing could happen, however the puffs of air displaced by the flutterby would be non-existent when going over the equator to the Northern Hemisphere, since the clockwise winds would simply absorb the air into their currents.

A butterfly could not possibly help cause a snowstorm in Alaska by flapping it's wings in Brazil. The puffs of air would simply disperse at the touch of another air current.


answer:
greenhouse gases destroy the ozone layer and are produced mostly by use of human material. it is important because we live off by the items and materials which produce them, and it is also important to know that it is potentially harmful to the world.


answer:
the carbon cycle consists of the pollution on earth crated by the gas, creating climate change. it is important because it influences how we live and how we will live in the future.


answer:
weather and climate is different in a way that one influences a small land mass while the other influences the whole world. weather is the small influence and climate is the large influence.


answer:
weather can be predicted by satellites and other machines measuring the current weather and environment. however it cannot be changed.


answer:
climate can be predicted but it is possible to change it.


answer:
there are large pollution rates in both land and air, which influences towards the subject of climate change. the current global climate system is not very stable, as greenhouse gases are increasing day by day, as well as carbon


answer:
Climate change is caused by the changes in carbon dioxide levels, greenhouse gases etc. If so, i do not believe that the flapping and jiggling in the air of a butterly in Brazil would cause a snowstorm in Alaska.
By deforestation, agriulture, land clearing, burning fossil fuels etc. we are putting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and taking out major factors in the reduction, and so, causing warmer temperatures, and rougher climate change. This is what would more likely cause the snowstorm in Alaska, and it is caused by billions of human beings. A mere butterfly in Brazil will not cause such change in the temperature or atmosphere to the point of a snowstorm in Alaska.  
In my opinion, a butterfly in Brazil cannot cause a snowstorm in Alaska.


answer:
Greenhouse gases insulate the earths surface by creating a barrier in the atmosphere, trapping UV rays and infrared radiation for an extended amount of time than per usual. This is called the greenhouse effect. Accumulation of greenhousse gases produce a harsher effect, resulting in warmer climates as UV rays are absorbed.


answer:
The carbon cycle is when carbon is exchanged through the spheres. This is important as carbon cycle triggers events that are needed to sustain life.


answer:
Weather is the state of climate at an exact position and time, and covers a relatively small amount of are, whereas climate is the pattern of precipitation, humidity, temperature, wind and other meteorlogial variations on a large scale.


answer:
Weather can be predicted but not accurately for more that a few days as variations in weather are frequent and unpredicatable, other than events in weather, eg. rain, which can be detected and estimated. Weather predictions often run on the chance that certain measured climate variations will happen at one time, but they can often be wrong.


answer:
Climate can be predicted if there are certain patterns in climate that are repeated periodically, and are measured by scientists who can sumrise when prominent patterns can repeat, eg. monsoons. If climate has controlled variables, such as water drainage for consumer use, then scientists can mathematically calculate the decline or rise in elements of a climate, such as water levels. From these calculations, other can be made as alot of dependant variables exist in a climate, eg. temperature, amount of wildlife. In a climate these variables all effect each other, and predictions are often accurate in figures.


answer:
Feedbacks are reactions to processes in climate systems, like climate change. There are positive and negetive feedbacks.


answer:
Dymanic equilibrum is i just dont know i wasnt taught this but i can guess that its something fairly dynamic


answer:
Emergant properties are deviants in climate systems that cannot be predicted or were not expected.


answer:
Tradgedy of commons is when communal elements, eg. water, air, are overused in some areas and by some peoples, resulting in a decline of quality and amount of commons for everyone.


answer:
The global climate system cannot be judges whether to be stable or not as that is a matter of opinion. Many species or flora and fauna are dying each day and deforrestation is occuring at an alarming rate, and eveyday the accumulation of pollution and greenhouse gases grows. All of these factors are contributing to a changing climate globally, but most humans find themselves rather unaffectd whilst others are desperately worried of the state of the climate. Statistics and predictions given by scientists are sometimes biased, and a large amount of skeptical debate and critisim is occuring on the state of the climate system. I myself, cannot judge.


answer:
Previously when our climate was considered fairly gradual and steady, this idea could have been posed as a skeptical possibilty. However due to current times, with the unstable climate and dramatic changes in air currents around the world, a butterfly's wings flapping in Brazil could have a possible chance to affect the air current at that time and area, causing even the slightest change in the current flow, and thus a wind could be drawn which could cause a possible snowstorm in another part of the world such as Alaska.


answer:
greenhouse gases are the gases in Earth's atmosphere that contribute to the greenhouse effect. when incoming solar radiation passes through the atmosphere and hits the ground, the heat reflected back out to space is in turn reflected back to Earth and absorbed by the atmosphere. this process means that the Earth is around 33 degrees warmer than it would be without these gases. greenhouse gases include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), carbon dioxide, oxygen etc. unfortunately due to the burning of fossil fuels and other artificial processes, the amount of CFCs and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased; unnecessarily making Earth hotter.


answer:
the carbon cycle is the continuous cycle that carbon takes through the biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere. this cycle has varying stages, and can take a relatively short amount of time to thousands of years in order to make a full rotation. it is important because the balance of the carbon cycle can be easily disrupted. the cycle allows carbon to traverse the spheres naturally, however humans have altered its course. the burning or fossil fuels, deforestation and land clearing all amount to taking carbon from the biosphere and lithosphere into the atmosphere. the disruption of this cycle certainly has dire effects.


answer:
different, climate is the general or average weather experienced in a specific region e.g. central Australia has an arid, hot and dry climate. weather is the immediate atmospheric conditions in a specific region e.g. rain, wind, storms.


answer:
while it is easy to make an educated guess about the weather, there is no precise way to accurately predict it. it is far too variable and unpredictable to accurately determine, however lots of predictions can be made for the next few days without being too far off. but predicting specific weather for the following year is practically impossible.


answer:
climate is far more gradual and justifiably easier to understand than immediate  weather. this is because climate is an average based over a very long period of time. if the sahara desert is hot and dry this year, it will most likely be the same next year.


answer:
no, humans have disrupted the global climate and consequences are an inevitability.


answer:
This may be true, since a wave in the air can increase in size however the distance between these two places is too great and too many factors can change this such as wind currents and other man-made objects which can create an air current.


answer:
It is probably not possible that just by a butterfly flapping it wings, it could cause a snow storm. The movement of air in that one action would be remotely minute and cannot possibly create a snowstorm. Snow storms first of all, would need a big dramatic change in wind speeds and coldness. A butterfly flapping it wings could not cause much of a change. Also, Brazil is quite far away from Alaska. As well as that, butterflies flap their wings everyday in order to fly to move around; this does not mean that there are snow storms in Brazil every day.
Therefore, this theory could not be more than a superstition or story.


answer:
no, the miniscule energy a butterfly would exert to the air would not possibly be able to maintain itself all the way to Alaska, let alone cause a snow storm. the flapping of its wings would hardly be felt by a human. the air displaced by the butterfly's wings is too small to anything


answer:
no its not
if all the butterfly's in the world were to 'jiggle' their wings then the world would be nothing but a raging snowstorm.
human airplanes cause more than a simple 'jiggle' in the wind. therefore are airplanes the cause of furious cyclones and hurricanes? 
no. 
therefore the fact that a butterfly 'jiggling' its wings in Brazil creates a snowstorm in Alaska is a coincidence


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. Is this possible? One might argue that a tiny jiggle of air cannot possibly help cause a snowstorm in Alaska, which is very very far away from Brazil. However, it might just be possible that it can contribute to the snowstorm. 
Although a butterfly's wings are not nearly as strong enough to cause a snowstorm, it jiggles the air and causes air to flow beneath its wings. The air flow can travel to places, and it is quite possible that the tiny jiggle of air can become swept up in the snowstorm in Alaska if it travels far enough. The tiny amount of air moved by the butterfly will become still very soon, however it will eventually get swept up by larger winds or rise as it warms up. This air will eventually travel far and possibly reach Alaska and could make the difference between snowstorm or not. 
Therefore, it is possible for a butterfly flapping its wings to jiggle the air and therefore help contribute and cause a snowstorm in Alaska. Although a butterfly flapping its wings doesn't cause a large amount of air to move, it could get swept up and possibly cause a snowstorm in a place very far away.


answer:
a butterfly flapping its winfs in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska is possible. while wind currents can travel large distances, the slight current created by the swish of the wings can contribute a bit to start a snowstorm in Alaska, which is countries away.
it is possible however, that in Alaska, snowstorms are a usual occurence but Brazil is on the equator, and is consequently hot. as hot air rises, cooler air takes its place, but the hot air that rose was at the whim of the wind and nature. possibly, the wind will reach Alaska, and as the wind may have picked up along the way and became stronger, it may cause a snowstorm


answer:
the literal term is seen not possible, but the theory of this saying can be thought about. 

thought metaphorically, the snowstorm in Alaska can mean a change in our environment, thus a stopping of climate change, and the butterfly flapping its wings can mean the small amount of people trying their best to help the world.

the small action of an individual can lead to a change in the whole world, as a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are part of the natural process that occurs in Earth. They are the particles in the air when the Earth receives warmth from the sun's rays, which is reflected down into the Earth and bounces back up. This warmth, the infrared light, is absorbed by the greenhouse gases, being carbon dioxide and the air particles that are in the air and help warm the Earth up by absorbing the warmth and only letting a limited amount of infrared light to escape into space. Without greenhouse gases, the Earth's average temperature would be about 35 degrees Celsius colder; as the warmth from the sun would easily escape back into space, and therefore it is important for these greenhouse gases to exist in order to supply a comfortable, habitable location for the living things of the Earth to survive.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the subject in which carbon is continuously cycled throughout time for the Earth to have a stabilised living biosphere. The carbon in the air is crucial to exist in the air in order to keep the Earth's temperature in a comfortable zone. This carbon exists in the atmosphere as air particles and absorbed through plants in which the carbon levels would decrease, and result in a cooler weather. The carbon cycle is important as it produces the seasons' temperature, as when it is transitioning from winter to spring, when the tree grows new leaves the temperatures drop, absorbing the carbon dioxide from the air, and when it is slowly transitioning from summer to autumn, when the leaves of the tree are discarded, carbon dioxide is released into the air and helps increase the amount of greenhouse gases and carbon in the air. This helps produce a moderate, averaging temperature each year.


answer:
Weather and climate are similar, but different. When referring to weather, you would refer more towards the topic of a short time range of climate, in which a day's weather, such as when rain or sun would happen in order to create a certain rainy or sunny weather to occur. Climate is referred more to as a long term range of overall weather throughout time, including factors such as temperature and humidity and living conditions for plants and animals to consider.


answer:
Yes, weather is able to predicted as it is only a short range amount of time ahead. Through satelite images and predicting through the movement of clouds, cold and warm fronts, humans/scientists are able to predict the weather for the next couple of days, as they have already found out information on each condition's typical outcome to affecting a day's weather could be. However, weather cannot be 100% predicted, as the world's conditions change continuously, and can never be completely predicted correctly.


answer:
No, climate cannot be predicted as the world's atmosphere and surroundings are continously changing, in which factors such as human actions and the unpredictability of nature contribute to. Climate is a long term range of weather, and therefore because of the incredible amount of factors that scientists must consider into account in order to predict, climate in the far future cannot be predicted. People are able to provide a hypothesis on how climate may result as in the future, but it is impossible to predict climate.


answer:
Feedback in climate systems are possibly the information that we are able to hypothesise about the climate system in which help broaden our knowledge about our surroundings on Earth. An example of a feedback may be the temperature information that scientists have been monitoring, in which they have found temperatures to be rising during the recent few decades.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium in climate systems are most likely the ever changing equality of population and state between a certain prey and predator, when a predator finds a lot of prey, it mates and breeds a lot in population, and therefore is able to hunt down a lot of their prey. Once their prey decreases in population, however, it becomes difficult for them to continue onwards and slowly their population decreases while their prey slowly regains their former population. This also happens with plants when they are consumed and this cycle countinues onwards.


answer:
Emergent properties in climate systems most likely when an unpredicted factor in a climate system emerges through and affects and changes the climate system, driving the system to face consequences that were not factored in, such as the human civilisation's rapid industrial growth and inventions that contribute to increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as the introduction of electrical energy and burning of fossil fuels.


answer:
'Tragedy of the commons' in climate systems may refer to when a climate system overbalances, such as excess contribution of an emergent property in a climate system, and which would alter the balance and negatively affect the system; an example being the human's contribution to increasing greenhouse gases and warming the Earth too excessively, therefore producing negative consequences that are likely to occur in the future.


answer:
The current global climate system is not very stable at the moment, because the excessive increase in greenhouse gases have negatively impacted the Earth. This is a rising concern right now, and automatically this would affect the Earth's atmosphere in coming years, already producing heavy concerns currently; the humans being overly dominant in the climate system and having nature be affected (such as the melting of ice caps which would affect great amounts of animals and even more, as they are all linked together through food webs), and therefore would mean that right now, our current climate system is not balanced enough to keep Earth stable.


answer:
The hyposthesis that a butterfly flapping its wings can influence a snowstorm in an area many thousands of kilometres away is improbable. 

The amount of air moved in the area the butterfly is in barely affects the metre square area around it, and cannot make a change in the climate surrounding it. The small shift of air produced by its wings would be consumed by larger winds sweeping the earths surface. These winds would also probably ease and rise before being able to travel over the sea, as different temperatures would diffuse the wind. 

Although earths climates are all connected, the small change in Brazil is too minute to even be detected. This small flap of air will dissipate without notice. If, say, a tornado was traveling up the west coast of South America, then perhaps a shift temperature and wind speed and pattern would disturb the weather in some point of Alaska and create a snowstorm, but the minute tiny flap of a butterfly would not produce a similar effect.

An actual snowstorm in Alaska would be created by a number of factors like temperature and amount of wind in the surrounding area. Although it is summer in Brazil when is it winter in Alaska, when conditions are best for snowstorms and butterflies are abundant, the probability of all those butterflies wing flaps would not shift a storm in Alaska.

In conclusion, a single butterfly is Brazil cannot produce a snowstorm in Alaska by flapping its little wings.


answer:
Technically speaking, for a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil, the opposite side of the world to where Alaska stands, it is impossible to create a snowstorm in Alaska. However, if speaking in a non-literal manner, the phrase produces a deeper meaning; the meaning being that an action someone does in one side of the world can heavily affect another person over on the other side. This can be received as a meaning to help explain to people of the negative consequences that may occur because of one's narrow-minded action, whether it'd be small or large, such as hunting one single animal or deforestating a whole forest, and how it would heavily affect the whole cimate system: as all living things within the food web are all linked to one another, and to their natural habitat/surroundings as well. This phrase could also be used not only to warn people to be cautious of their actions, but also to help encourage that people can make a huge positive change in the world, just from one small positive action that they choose to do.


answer:
B bad again. don't you judge me it's maths


answer:
greenhouse gases are gases that emit/absorb ration released from the earth. They are important for they are reflected back from the o-zone layer and therefore they keep the earth warm and livable.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the process of carbon travelling through all spheres of the earth.


answer:
Weather and climate are different-weather are conditions over a short period of time, say a week, however climate is a long term condition.


answer:
Weather can be predicted through satellite images and other methods however it will never be 100% correct-unpredictable weather happens all the time and meteorologists must always keep an eye out for changes.


answer:
Climate-being a general idea over a longer period of time is able to be predicted-to a degree. However a longer period of time means further in the future, which would mean the accuracy of these predictions made will drop.


answer:
The greenhouse gases are essential to support life on Earth. They are the gases that keep the earth warm by trapping heat from the sun at night, when the sun has set.


answer:
Weather and climate are similar in meaning but there are different terms. Weather refers to the climatic conditions in a short period of time, whereas climate refers to the long term variations in temperature.


answer:
Yes, with the technology we have today, weather can be predicted. However, the accuracy of the information is never 100% correct, as the weather is very changeable.


answer:
Yes, climate can definitely be predicted as it is very general and with current trends, we can roughly predict what it likely to change in the upcoming future.


answer:
The water cycle? Water is continually recycled in the atmosphere.


answer:
Yes, it is relatively stable, but temperatures are slowly increasing.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the earth's atmosphere. They are important because without them the conditions on earth would be unbearable for humans.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the process of making oxygen into carbon dioxide.  To help us all breathe.


answer:
Weather is short term and is forecasted for a period of days. Climate is long term and depends on where you are on the surface of the earth. For example, today's weather in Australia may be sunny with a chance of rain but the climate of Australia is subtropical.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to an extent. Broad variations of the weather can be predicted but there is no way of predicting it 100% right.


answer:
Climate can't be predicted. It is more of a generalised statement about a country's overall weather.


answer:
I actually have no idea what emergent properties in climate systems are


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases such as carbon dioxide which helps trap heat and acts as an insulating blanket for the earth.


answer:
It is the cycle of carbon moving through the atmosphere.


answer:
Weather is short term whilst climate is long term.


answer:
Weather can be loosely predicted through observing the changes of the patterns in the atmosphere


answer:
Climate is a slowly changing thing so it can be predicted


answer:
Some people believe climate change is happening whilst some people do not


answer:
The climate of the earth changes drastically


answer:
No. The climate system isn't stable due to global warming.


answer:
greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the atmosphere and heat up the earth more efficiently. greenhouse gases are important as without them all the heat would escape the earth's atmosphere and we would freeze at night and in winter.


answer:
the carbon cycle is a cycle in which at some times of the year there is more carbon in the atmosphere because of how trees grow and take in carbon to convert to oxygen. i don't really know if it is important or not


answer:
weather and climate are different. i don't know how


answer:
weather can be roughly predicted by looking at patterns on the earth and seeing what will probably happen in the short tern. weather can only really be predicted accurately a week in advance.


answer:
i don't know if climate can be predicted or not. i think that climate is more stable than the weather and doesn't really need predicting as it stays basically the same


answer:
i don't know any examples of feedback in climate systems as i have no clue as to what they are.


answer:
i have no idea. we have never been taught about climate in depth.


answer:
nope. climate change and stuff like that means the climate is changing i guess


answer:
Carbon Dioxide. Gases in the atmosphere that trap in the heat and make the Earth warm.


answer:
How carbon moves around in the world? So we know where the carbon is?


answer:
Different. Weather is the state of the atmosphere at one specific time and place. Climate is a more averaged recording of the rainfall and temperature conditions in a wider area over a prolonged time, so we can look at it in the future to determine future weathers.


answer:
It should be able to be predicted. Otherwise how can people be weathermen?


answer:
Climate should be able to be predicted. As it is basically the same as weather but a bit more long term. But then again it changes over time. So it is less predictable than weather.


answer:
When things react to other things happening in the world. To be honest, I don't really know.


answer:
A changing balance? When two different aspects of the environment change to suit each other and balance out each other? Like ying-yang? For example. When something releases CO2 and the trees suck it up?


answer:
I don't know. When something emerges from something? Maybe when something happens as an effect of something else happening.


answer:
No, it keeps changing. But since climate is a long-term thing, it isn't noticable in our everyday life. If we were to record it over maybe 25 or 50 years, we could recognise changes?


answer:
these gas things that are emitted into and possibly trapped in the atmosphere of the earth because of excess carbon dioxide or something


answer:
trees convert carbon dioxide into things like oxygen and glucose so the carbon is stored inside the tree trunks they are released eventually like when the tree is cut down
since carbon is found in all life forms when these life things die it will also be released back into the atmosphere if the 'corpse' is burned as carbon dioxide.
important because it's a thing that allows life to continue carbon dioxide ==> oxygen and carbon ==> carbon dioxide


answer:
they are different one is the state and conditions of the atmosphere over an extended period of time (climate i think) and weather is the measurements of temperature over a certain area for a period of time?


answer:
??///??????? emergent the protruding trees in rainforests??


answer:
The particles in the air will shift and move in a chain-reaction type process.  The flapping of a butterfly's wings will cause a slight shift in the air immediately next to it as the force of flapping will push the air across slightly.  This slight movement could be enough to push a long chain reaction of air across from Brazil to Alaska, or the build-up of many other butterflies/living creatures' actions will cause a change in weather conditions in Alaska.  It is possible, but it will take a lot more than just one butterfly.


answer:
i believe that this is not possible. 

although a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil may be able to jiggle the air, this jiggle caused by the butterfly cannot be very strong. 
it cannot be strong enough to cause a snow storm in alaska.

humans have a stronger wing/arm power and even if we flapped our arms in Brazil and made the air jiggle a little, we would not be able to cause a snow storm in Brazil. 

therefore, i believe that a butterfly is unable to cause a snow storm in alaska from brazil (unless there are about 50 million butterflies...)


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases that circulate our environment and keep the Earth warm, such as carbon. They are trapped into the Earth's atomosphere by clouds and particles in the air. It is often compared to a greenhouse; when sunlight heats up the greenhouse, the heat is absorbed by the plants and moves by the circulation of air. However, the air cannot escape, as the greenhouse is closed.  These gases are important as they keep the Earth at a temperature that allows us to live. However, as technology advances and more energy is converted into greenhouse gas, the Earth is rapidly warming, which can affect our overall health.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the path carbon takes when being converted. When a plant takes in carbon ait converts it into oxygen. Then, humans convert the oxygen back into carbon which repeats the same cycle. This is important, as the conversion of carbon changes the amount of it in the atmosphere and helps reduce greenhouse gases.


answer:
No, weather and climate are different. Weather is a short term analysis of the the temperature, rainfall, windspeed etc. On the other hand, climate explains the change in temperature patterns, rainfall patterns etc on a long term scale.


answer:
Yes, weather can be predicted. It can be predicted by using geometric conversions and formulas to predict the weather. Tests to find high/ low pressure points, tide, wind direction and many more are conducted, and a prediction on the weather and the range of possible temperatures are produced. However, weather can only be predicted for the week ahead.


answer:
Climate can be predicted according to previous tests. Data from previous years are used and conclusions are drawn from these. Tests and comparisons from the past can also give us a prediction.


answer:
Examples of feedback from climate systems include high/ pressure systems, windspeed, wind direction, rainfall, tide and temperature.
