- Climate change in Scotland
| 20билет
1 The climate of Scotland is mostly temperateand oceanic (Köppen climate classificationCfb), and tends to be very changeable, but rarely extreme. It is warmed by the Gulf Streamfrom the Atlantic, and given its northerly latitude it is much warmer than areas on similar latitudes, for example Kamchatka in Russia or Labrador in Canada (where the sea freezes over in winter), or Fort McMurray, Canada (where −35 °C (−31 °F) is not uncommon during winter). Scots sometimes describe weather which is grey and gloomy using the Scots language word dreich. Climate change in Scotland is causing a range of impacts on Scotland, and its mitigation and adaptation is a matter for the devolved Scottish Parliament. Climate change has already changed timings of spring events such as leaf unfolding, bird migration and egg-laying. Severe effects are likely to occur on biodiversity. 2. If you want beauty, you would do better to go to St James's Park, Regent's Park or Kensington Gardens. If you want open space, you should go to Richmond Park. If you want trees, you should go to Epping Forest. If you want history, you should go to Greenwich Park or Hampton Court. If you want literary associations, you should go to Hampstead, home of the poet Keats as well as many of today's best-known writers. 3. The geography of Scotland is varied, from rural lowlands to unspoilt uplands, and from large cities to sparsely inhabited islands. Located in Northern Europe, Scotland comprises the northern third of the island of Great Britain as well as 790 surrounding islands encompassing the major archipelagos of the Shetland Islands, Orkney Islands and the Inner and Outer Hebrides. Scotland's only land border is with England, which runs for 96 miles (154 kilometres) in a northeasterly direction from the Solway Firth in the west to the North Sea on the east coast.[3]Separated by the North Channel, the island of Ireland lies 13 nautical miles (24 kilometres) from Mull of Kintyre on the Scottish mainland.[4]Norway is located 190 nmi (350 km) northeast of Scotland across the North Sea. The Atlantic Ocean, which fringes the coastline of western and northern Scotland and its islands, influences the temperate, maritime climate of the country.[5] Scotland contains the majority of mountainous terrain in the UK. The topography of Scotland is distinguished by the Highland Boundary Faultwhich traverses the Scottish mainland from Helensburgh to Stonehaven.[6] The faultline separates two distinctively different physiographic regions; namely the Highlands to the north and west and the Lowlands to the south and east.[7] The more rugged Highland region contains the majority of Scotland's mountainous terrain, including the highest peak, Ben Nevis. |
