Explanation

The article has an informative and serious tone. The video, in turn, has an urgent tone, although it also presents seriousness.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Both the video and the article show how the glaciers at the poles are melting at an amazing rate, and that's not a good sign.
  • The article focuses on informing why this is happening, the speed at which the ice is melting and the results we can expect from this melting process.
  • To persuade readers of the seriousness of this issue, the article makes a strong appeal to ethos, showing arguments from experts on the subject, to assure readers that this meltdown is a matter of concern;
  • The video, in turn, prefers to persuade the audience through pathos, stimulating the public's sentimentality showing how animals have been harmed by the melting of the ice.
  • In this case, the video focuses on showing the effects of the melting and the impacts on life on the planet.
  • The purpose of the video is to alert you to what is happening and to highlight the idea that something needs to be done urgently.

In this case, we can see that even using the same subject, the article and video have different purposes and structures, both being efficient in their ways.
