Question 1:

Medium

Antarctica is a continent that arouses great interest from various countries, especially those in South America, due to its geographical location and importance in the global environmental balance. Considering the role of Antarctica in the geopolitical context and its implications for scientific research and the environment, answer: (1) What are the main reasons why Antarctica is so relevant to the countries of South America? (2) How does the region contribute to the understanding of the global environment and the possible impacts of climate change? (3) What is the international treaty that establishes the rules for the protection of the Antarctic environment and ensures the peaceful use of the region for scientific purposes?

Question 2:

Very Hard

Antarctica, although predominantly icy and uninhabited, plays a crucial role in scientific studies related to climate change and marine life. Based on your knowledge and considering that Antarctica is one of the largest carbon sinks on the planet, explain how the melting of the Antarctic ice caps can affect sea levels and, consequently, global ocean currents. Furthermore, discuss the importance of human scientific research stations in Antarctica for data collection and monitoring of climatic phenomena in the region, including an analysis of the logistical challenges faced by researchers working in this territory.

Question 3:

Hard

Antarctica, besides being the southernmost and coldest continent on the planet, plays a critical role in global climate studies. With an ice cover that stores about 70% of Earth's freshwater, changes in the Antarctic climate can have significant effects on sea level and ocean circulation. Considering the importance of Antarctica for understanding climatic processes and its unique ecology, describe in detail how the continent's natural conditions, including wind patterns, glacier formation, and marine life, contribute to data collection and scientific research on climate change. Additionally, explain how human presence in Antarctica, especially through research stations, influences the observation and monitoring of these changes, and discuss the ethical and environmental challenges associated with this presence.
