Antartica is very cold country.The oldest place on Earth.Antartica is surrounded by glaciers.Therefore,people think that if no benefit.Actually,there are many benefits.Antartica prevents heating the world.Antartic ice lie clues to ancient climates,clues such as trapped bubbles of atmospheric gases, which can help predict whether present and future global warming poses real threat and Antartica sources oil and mineral reserves.This is very surprising.So,scienties and environmentalists come to research and protect.Antartica has two treaty to reserach and protect.First treaty:''Antartica Treaty''.İt is 12 participating countries reached an international agreement which took effect in June 1961.İt goal is special scientif interest,specially protected areas , and specially managed areas.Second treaty:''Madrid Protocol'':İt is binding on the 39 treaty countries.There is nothing to stop non treaty countries from establıshıng.
YanıtlaSilOur topic was about Antarctica this week.Antarctica continent is the coldest,driest, and highest.someone visit to come in Antarctica these scientific, environmentalists, and tourists come in Antarstica because they want to research about mineral seekers and oil.I did not want to go Antarctica because it is very cold, so ı did not like cold. Also,Antarctica has to finish the pending danger oil and mineral. It is a useless continent because the continent's vast ice fields preventing the planet from overheating.This text reminded me penguins and i like it:).
YanıtlaSilthis week's topic was perfect.I learned a lot of things about Antartica.Most people want to benefir from it.For example,scientists,environmentalists,oil and minarel seekers...Also,our text includes some agreements to prohibit exploitations bacause many countries want to deprive this unique continent.For this reason,some people think that it was just an useless continent.However,I think it is really important for everyone's life.
YanıtlaSilAntartica is the coldest,driest,and highest continent in the world.It has not owner.Antartica is useless because there is oil and minerals too much. Madrid Protocol bans all exploration or commercial exploration of natural resources on the continent for the next 50 years.İn the other words, it protects this continent.This contract forbids establishing commercial bases bases anywhere on the continent. In my opinion,this contract is very significant because Antartica continent balances earth.
YanıtlaSilis deadline 2102.? Oh yes, I have a looot of time:).
YanıtlaSilAntarctica is continent of everyone, so anyone has Antarctica.
Of course, there are people who go there, such as, environmentalist, scientist, and some tourists etc.They want to find oil and minerals, if they find it, they believe that they will solve oil problem of world.
Actually, I thought that Antarctica is useless continent, but it also is necessary like everything.However, Antarctica is the coldest place in the World.
The Madrid Protocol was accepted in 1991 by several countries.According to treaty, Antarctica doesn't belong any country and it will be protected.
If you ask me, Antarctica is not very important for me.
