How fast is Antarctica's ice melting? How many inches of snow does Antarctica get each year? How long has Antarctica been frozen? How much ice is above sea level? How much ice does Mount Erebus melt? What is the water temperature in Antarctica?
How fast are the air currents from Hawaii to California? How fast does pyroclastic flow travel? How does the subtropical jet stream travel? What lies along the polar jet stream? How fast does magma flow? How fast is Antarctica's ice melting?
It is this fast surface response that we have now detected underneath Antarctica, suggesting the presence of a soft mantle. A softer mantle than expected A soft and warm mantle is typically found in very active tectonic areas at the edge of tectonic plates. And very fast uplift rates, like ...
A new study says that no matter how much the world cuts back on carbon emissions, a large and important part of Antarctic a is expected to disappear.The study focused on the melting of protective ice around Antarctica's Amundsen Se a in western Antarctica.They said the “unavoidable" melting...
Planning for climate change means accounting for melting ice and sea-level rise; exactly how much is shaped by many factors, each carrying its own uncertainties. Scientists are grappling with this uncertainty to better understand the fate of ice sheets and coastlines....
Prior to the 1990s, most sea-level rise was attributed to melting glaciers and the thermal expansion of warming ocean waters. However, ice sheets such as those covering Greenland and Antarctica have also begun to melt and play a significant role in raising ocean levels. The author reviews the...
escape and rescue.The first characters to appear in the film are Jack and his colleagues Frank and Jason. These two colleagues later resolutely followed him to rescue his son Sam who was in danger in New York. When they drilled ice on the Larson Ice Shelf in Antarctica, a huge crack sudd...
if you’re vaccinated, the risk of getting seriously ill is much lower, so it’s reasonable to make plans to resume normal life. When enough people do this, wedeclare victory– a phrase meaning to announce something to be finished before it act...

The ACC works as a barrier to invasive species, like rafts of southern bull kelp that ride the currents, or marine-borne animals like shrimp or molluscs, from other continents reaching Antarctica. As the ACC slows and weakens, there is a higher likelihood such species will make their way on...
