Medicine & TechnologyThe research found that plant-eating dinosaurs possibly arrived in the Northern Hemisphere after millions of years of meat-eating their cousins, a deferment that possibly resulted from climate change.
Research shows that an increase in bacteria growth hastens the melting of Greenland Ice Sheets that could cause a 20-foot increase in global sea-levels.
The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change lays down the latest report on the thinning ice sheets of our planet as well as the fast heating of the oceans.
The new research discovered that the South Pacific Convergence Zone, a region of the western tropical Pacific, is the primary driver of weather variability across West Antarctica
Global warming is the most seen reason by scientists that causes the gradual vanishing of the ice sheets in North America. In the next 300 years, the Barnes Ice Cap Island in Canada is expected to melt as shown in its current situation.
There might be a possibility that a mysterious landscape of layered bands of rocks are hidden beneath the ice sheets of the Antarctic. This could reportedly be the world's largest, extending up to over a thousand kilometre long and 1 km deep.
Antarctica is a truly massive continent. At over 5 million square miles, the whole of the US could fit securely within its borders. It boasts the highest, driest, coldest, and windiest landscape of all seven continents. And the fact that it is losing ice is nothing new. It's the rate at which parts of the continent are melting that is raising new concerns.
Times are tough for the massive ice sheets of Antarctica these days with the latest report that the giant floating ice shelves that form a fringe along the continent's coast are beginning to melt and deteriorate much faster than scientists once believed.
