Under New Zealand, there lies a vast continent on the sea floor. Once part of the same land mass as Antarctica and Australia, the lost continent of Zealandia broke off 85 million years ago and eventually sank below the ocean, where it stayed largely hidden for centuries. Now, maps reveal ...
Another name is land mass. How many continents are there? There are seven continents. The names of continents are Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. To some geographers, the South Pacific Islands are another continent.What makes a continent? Far ...
The Greenland Ice Sheet has been losing mass at an increased rate in recent decades. In northeast Greenland, increasing surface melt has accompanied speed-ups in the outlet glaciers of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream, which contain over one meter of s

mass extinctions, showing resilience to climate change10,11. Mammalian physiology has evolved to remove excess heat through thermoregulatory mechanisms (sweat glands, locomotion and circulatory system) owing to an ancestral legacy having evolved under warmer, non-glaciated climates12. Although mammals are...
The islands of Leyte and Samar, seen as a single land mass, were named felepinas (Philippines), after the future Philip II, and the name was later extended to the entire archipelago. The disintegrating expedition relocated to Gilolo (Halmahera, North Maluku Province) and Tidore in early 1544...

6). This increasing contribution is primarily driven by a reduction in GrIS surface mass balance (SMB)6,7,8, related to a significant increase in GrIS surface melt extent9 and volume10. Surface melt is determined by the surface energy balance (SEB)11, the sum of incoming and outgoing ...
and in certain sections the entire ice mass goes into motion and forms outlet glaciers—narrow oblong projections of the shield that move toward the ocean through the valleys. These glaciers move at a rate of 20–40 m per day and give rise to icebergs (as high as 100–135 m above sea ...
