How does temperature affect ocean salinity?Temperature:Temperature is a physical quantity which describes an object's capacity to give heat energy to other objects. Heat is a form of energy which is related to the amount of kinetic energy an object's particles have....
Because the Earth's climate is so complex, no one is really sure how much a change to one region's climate will affect other regions. For example, scientists at the University of Colorado theorize that the decrease in sea ice in the Arctic could reduce snowfall in Colorado because Arctic c...
Core temperatures are increased by about half a degree during late stage pregnancy due to hormonal responses and increased metabolic rate. The growing fetus and placenta also demand additional blood flow. Exposure of the fetus to heat extremes can precipitate preterm birth andlife-long health problems...

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 ...

In the new study, Shields, Li, and their co-authors focused on the impacts of Pacific atmospheric rivers on the upper region of the ocean. They wanted to gain insights into how future storms are likely to affect oceanic variables such as the surface temperature and height and the mixing o...

Regime Shifts in the Marine Environment: How Do They Affect Ecosystem Services?Ecosystem servicesEcosystem stabilityRegime shiftsRegional managementMarine ecosystems are facing unprecedented pressures for instance rising water temperatures, changing current patterns and ocean acidification. Coastal systems in ...
However, if the West Antarctic Ice Sheet were to melt and collapse into the sea, it would push sea levels up 10 meters (more than 32 feet), and many coastal areas would completely disappear beneath the ocean [Source: NASA]. Research predictions indicate a rising sea level. Photo courtesy...
