Climate Change In Canada

Identify four changes that global climate change is having/expected to have in Canada and discuss the potential impact/effects of each change. Include examples for each with an emphasis on the prairie region.

The common basis of climate is insolation, temperature, pressure, air masses and precipitation. There is a difference in the temperature based on the changing forces which act based on air masses. Different geographical characteristics add up to the difference in climate change. Canada being a wide nation constitutes many types of climatic regions. From Meso thermal climate which includes subtropical humidity, west coast connected with the Pacific Ocean to polar regions which include ice caps and the tundra region. With the help of

Climate change is inevitable. It is just the process of carbon depositing in the atmosphere is way faster than a normal. Nature would equilibrium to the changes after reaching the threshold. For example, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would produce heat with the trapping of heat produced within the land and marine. Manitoba being in the middle of the country with flat prairies could result in high precipitation resulted from high evaporation and transpiration. Due to sudden heavy rain, water could run away causing flood and damage to crops and infrastructures. There is going to be a change in the recharging of groundwater since the precipitation pattern is going to change. Weather is a shortened plight of the

The effect could result in catastrophic changes because of ice melting faster than a normal rate. Less reflection on the earth’s surface and more absorption of heat by the ice turning water could result in losing fresh water from the glaciers. This patch of air masses when moving south to Manitoba would be warmer than usual termed as continental polar. With the heavy humidity being carried with the cold air results in lake effect on Winnipeg. Snow and rain pattern are going to change with the warming of air and could disturb the temperature and moisture movement through the region. Manitoba could see more rainfall then snowfall. With the warm chinook winds coming from the Rockies, the relative humidity would differ on average since the mountains would not be able to create more snow every year. Resulting in heating of the prairie land. With the land temperature rising gradually, more thunderstorms and tornadoes could be witnessed. Few concerns with the climate change impact to the prairie provinces would be the irreversible damage to the roots of the ecosystem, for example, Lakes, migration, and extinction of the species. With greenhouse gases like methane which reacts with the water vapors to regulate longwave energy in/out of our
