"This research underscores our planet's dynamic nature. Even a seemingly immutable feature like Mount Everest is subject to ongoing geological processes, reminding us that Earth is constantly changing, often in
Providing a mechanism for dense water to slowly rise from the deep ocean1,2, internal wave-driven vertical mixing is generally believed to be one of the main drivers of the oceanic circulation2,3. It thus shapes the Earth’s climate4,5,6, influencing, among others, sea level rise7, ...
At this point it looks kind of like a thin dinner plate that rather than being circular, is hexagonal, with six flat edges. 这个时候它看起来就像是一个带六个平边的薄薄的六边形餐盘,而不是圆形的。 It's at this point in the process where we begin to see why each snowflake is unique. ...

But there’s method in his expansionist mindset. Trump, in his unique way, is grappling with national security questions the US must face in a new world shaped by China’s rise, the inequalities of globalization, melting polar ice and great power instability. ...
Based on the properties of water, why do non-polar compounds such as fats and oils not dissolve well in water? Why is water so important for life? Discuss how the unique physical and chemical properties of water contribute to the importance of water for life on Earth to survive. What are...
Water's ___ gives it unique properties that help explain why it is vital to all living organisms. Water: Water is one of the most important inorganic compounds that is vital to life on Earth. Water's chemical structure is made up...
Earth from space: Italy's 'ticking time bomb' plays peek-a-boo through a mysterious hole in the cloudsThis 2022 satellite photo shows the summit of "one of the world's most dangerous volcanoes," Mount Vesuvius, peering up through a strange gap in the clouds.Livescience Why do cats...
Since we already analysed variation in functional richness in this study, we disregarded nestedness and only focused on functional turnover—non-overlap in functional space due to assem- blages occupying unique, unshared functional space that is not due to differences in functional richness. For ...
Understanding the uneven distribution of biodiversity on Earth is one of the most fundamental goals in ecology and evolution. Numerous patterns of biodiversity distributions have been documented, but the obvious increase in species richness from the poles toward the equator known as the latitudinal diver...
