El Niño is partly to blame.This climate phenomenonnow developing in the equatorial Pacific Ocean is characterized by warm waters in the central and eastern Pacific, which generally weakens the trade winds in the tropics. This weakening of those winds can affect oceans and land around the world...
A new report released by the United Nations (UN) this week foundthat climate change can worsen...Thompson, Ben
They profoundly affect the weather, marine transportation and the cycling of nutrients. How exactly? Among other things, ocean currents are responsible for the warmer temperatures in Western Europe, they enable the Antarctic to support vast amounts of plant and animal life and their disruption ...
2) How do rising temperatures affect atmospheric mercury chemistry? 3) Will a decrease in sea-ice coverage have an impact on the amount of atmospheric mercury deposited to or emitted from the Arctic Ocean, and if so, how? 4) Does climate affect air–surface mercury flux, and riverine ...
How does water pollution affect the climate? How does the water cycle affect climate change? How does climate change affect the thermocline in a body of water? How does climate change affect the ocean? How does the water cycle affect weather and climate?
Rising temperatures can lead to changes in the availability and distribution of their main prey, such as lemmings, voles, and seabirds, forcing the foxes to adapt their hunting strategies. In addition to changes in prey availability, warmer temperatures can also affect the foxes’ physical adaptatio...
With a rise in the overall temperature of the ocean,ocean-bornestorms such as tropical storms andhurricanes, which get their fierce and destructive energy from the warm waters they pass over, could increase in force. If the rising temperature affects glaciers and ice shelves, could the polar ic...
How do sea surface temperatures affect the evaporation rate? How does the rise in sea level affect the environment? How does the climate affect ocean acidification? How is ocean acidification different from freshwater acidification? How does the melting of sea ice affect climate?
With a rise in the overall temperature of the ocean,ocean-bornestorms such as tropical storms andhurricanes, which get their fierce and destructive energy from the warm waters they pass over, could increase in force. If the rising temperature affects glaciers and ice shelves, could the polar ic...
Working for the next three summers at the Friday Harbor Laboratories at the University of Washington on Puget Sound, he will also investigate other stressors that could affect the snails' development, such as rising seawater temperatures and the availability of food. His work is being supported by...
