Paraphrasing Exercise - OWL

Fri, 04 May 2012 11:55:00 -0400

Paraphrasing Exercise - OWL:

1. “The Antarctic is the vast source of cold on our planet, just as the sun is the source of our heat, and it exerts tremendous control on our climate,” [Jacques] Cousteau told the camera. “The cold ocean water around Antarctica flows north to mix with warmer water from the tropics, and its upwellings help to cool both the surface water and our atmosphere. Yet the fragility of this regulating system is now threatened by human activity.” From “Captain Cousteau,” Audubon (May 1990):17.

Paraphrasing - The Antarctic is the major source of cold weather on the planet. Just like the sun that gives us warm climate, the Antarctic gives us a cold one. The Antarctic’s cold water runs up the earth and mixes with the warmer tropical water north. This helps control the earth’s year round temperatures. But because of human activities causing global warming this process is now being effected.
