climate change escape room (part I)

Welcome to the- environmental crisis escape room!

start

This is Christopher. Christopher travels around the world and writes about natural phenomena he encounters and explains them in his journal

But recently, no matter which country he visits, he struggled to figure out the natural phenomenon that affects them all. He's lost, please help him figure out what is the natural phenomenon and explain it.

His first trip was to spain

I know the answer!

Well done! You figured out what the phenomenon is and helped Christopher escape the obstacles

Help Christopher escape the obstacles in the water by dragging him from one place to another.

help the professor understand why a hurricane forms

The second country he visited was Florida

Click on the journal to read what he wrote during his visit there!

A hurricane forms in cold areas, usually over the sea and cold regions. The cold causes the clouds to become thicker and larger, until they combine and create a storm in the shape of a cone – a hurricane, where the clouds move.

The hurricane forms from storm clouds that are carried to warmer areas in the ocean, usually above the equator, where the temperature is higher. This causes the sea water to evaporate and the air to become moist. The winds and water gather and begin to rise

The hurricane formed due to very cold weather meeting the ocean waters near the equator, which is a very hot area. The meeting of these two different temperatures causes storm clouds to form and descend over the water. The hurricane then continues from the sea to the land because of the strong winds over the ocean.

ההוריקן נוצר בעקבות מזג אוויר קר מאוד שפגש את מי הים באזור קו המשווה שהוא אזור חם מאוד. הפגישה בין השניים גורמים לענני סערה להתגבש ולרדת על פני המים. ההוריקן ממשיך מהים אל היבשה בגלל הרוחות שבים.

הוריקן נוצר באזורים קרים, בדרך כלל באזור ימי וקר. הקור גורם לעננים להיות סמיכים יותר וגדולים יותר, עד שהעננים מתאחדים וגורמים לסופה בצורת קונוס- הוריקן שהעננים זזים.

Nice try... but that's not the correct answer

well done!

I’ve discovered how a hurricane forms, and I understand how it’s possible for this to happen in Florida. But I didn’t know it could happen with such power! A hurricane of this magnitude hasn’t occurred in 100 years!

You have reached Christopher's third destination – Antarctica.

What causes all the beautiful ice and snow surfaces?

Read again in the journal to find out what Christopher researched.

Ice fields and icebergs are formed by the freezing of water. Due to the low temperatures in Antarctica, ocean water undergoes a long freezing process, eventually turning into massive ice sheets.

All ice fields and icebergs begin with falling snow. The snowflakes are compressed by the weight of the snow that accumulates on top of them and eventually turn into dense masses of ice.

Ice fields and icebergs are formed from rain that falls. The rainwater on the ground, combined with the cold and low temperatures, freezes it and turns it into ice surfaces

משטחי הקרח והקרחונים נוצרים בקיפאון של מים. עקב הטמפרטורות הנמוכות שבאנטרקטיקה מי האוקיינוס עוברים תהליך הקפאה ארוך שבסופו הופכים למשטחי קרח ענקיים.

משטחי הקרח והקרחונים נוצרים מגשם שיורד. שמי הגשמים על הקרקע הקור והטמפרטורות הנמוכות מקפיאות אותם והופכים אותם למשטחי קרח.

כל משטחי הקרח והקרחונים מתחילים בשלג שיורד פתיתי השלג נדחסים על ידי משקלו של השלג שנערם מעליהם ולבסוף הופכים למסות דחוסות של קרח.

Well done! You managed to save the polar bear! 🐻‍❄️👏

Help the polar bear avoid falling into the water! You can do this by moving the bear from iceberg to iceberg. Good luck!

לאחר מסע ארוך הגעתי לאנטרטיקה, בשביל היופי של השלג הצחור, אבל מה בעצם גורם לכל משטחי הקרח והשלג היפים?

After the long and difficult journey, I returned to my beloved land – the land of Israel. When we left the airport, the heat outside was extremely intense. One woman even fainted when she tried to reach the bus.

Dear diary, Today I visited Spain, in the city of Valencia – my favorite city in the world. But instead of seeing my beautiful city, all I saw was a lot of water, the entire city was covered in water moving at an incredible speed. I must understand what's this terrible phenomenon that destroyed my city

לאחר השיטפונות והקור הנורא שבספרד החלטתי לעבור למקום שמשי יותר- פלורידה הידועה בחורף החם והיבש שלה. אבל אבוי! איך שנחתתי בשדה התעופה נשמעה הודעת חירום ברמקולים "כולם להיזהר! סופה ענקית מתקרבת לעברנו, יש .להתפנות לחדרים המוגנים מיד! איך זה הגיוני שסופה ועוד כל כך עצומה מתרחשת בחורף היבש של פלורידה?

After the floods and the terrible cold in Spain, I decided to move to a sunnier place – Florida, known for its warm and dry winters. But alas! As soon as I landed at the airport, an emergency announcement was heard through the speakers: "Everyone be careful! A huge storm is approaching us, take shelter in the safe rooms immediately!" How is it possible that a storm, and such a huge one, is happening in the dry winter of Florida?
