Melting mountain peaks

Mont Blanc Massif is fundamentally chaging due to climate change, along with mountains worldwide. Temperatures in mountainous regions have risen up to 50 percent faster than the global average. For mountains even 10 celsius is sweltering. On Dolomites, from Marmolada glacier a huge section broke off. Ice and debris thundered down. There were eleven people that never made it home. This tragedy shows how dangerous are mountains even if they are really beautiful. Now global warming is proceeding, scientists say that scale of risk of natural disasters in the mountains changed completely. Risk is definetly higher now. People from villages in the foothills know they are not safe bacouse of mountains conditions. Mountains will become more and more dangerous for us, they can lead floods caused by glacierrs falling apart.

I think a mountain collapsing is dangerous for people nearby and higher temperatures will facilitate such tragedies.

the importance of bees

Bees are really important to environment. They are organized and they work hard. They are pollinators and take part in many aspects of ecosystem. Bees support the growth of many plants which are food source and shelter for other animals. They produce honey and humans are harvesting their honey. But in fact honey is made to feed colonies during cold winters. Honey is also consumed by birds, raccoons, possums and insects. Bees pollinate many plants thus plants can grow and produce food. They play a key role in food we eat and without them many plants would simply die. Bees have their hives but they also help build homes for many other animals. Also many tree species like wilows couldnt grow without bees who pollinate them. If not bees animals who depend on these different plants to survive would die off. These small creatures play a crucial role in our ecosystem and in our life. source;  Bee Information for Kids: Bumblebee & Honey Bee Facts (pestworldforkids.org)

butterfly

Butterflies develop through process metamorphosis and its transformation or change in shape. There are four stages of this process. In first stage eggs are laid on plants by adult female butterfly. These eggs can be pretty small. Females lay a lot of eggs at once just to make sure at least one of them survive. Eggs can be laid from spring, summer or fall. Second stage is larva (caterpillar). Caterpillars are supposed to eat and eat and this  food is stored and used later as adult. Caterpillars can grow 100 times their size in this stage. Third stage is pupa. Caterpillar becomes a pupa when is fully grown. The pupa may suspend under a branch, hidden in leaves or buried underground. Inside pupa big changes are happening and butterfly is being formed. This stage can last from two weeks to month or longer. Last stage is adult stage. Then caterpillar is already a butterfly and they cant grow any longer. Adult job is to mate and lay eggs. Their wings are really helpful for finding the ri...
