Thousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, molten lava from the earth's interior welled up. The heat was so great and higher and spread over a wider area. In this way, an island rose up at the sea. As time went on, hot sun and cool rain made the rock soft and break ...
In the middle of the Pacific Ocean (太平洋), there's a tiny island called Nauru (瑙鲁). It's the smallest island country in the world! You can ride a bike all around it in just an hour, and only about 13,000 people live there. But Nauru has something very special——bird poop (...

Exactly in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean lies Henderson Island thousands of miles(1 mile≈1.6 kilometers) away from the nearest city. Only a few people have ever made the trip by ship to set foot on it; usually only scientists do research there. Knowing this, you may think Hende...

The ocean is taking up additional heat but how this affects ocean circulation and heat transport is unclear. Here, using coupled model intercomparison project phase 5/6 (CMIP5/6) climate projections, we show a future decrease in poleward ocean heat trans
Moons potentially harbouring a global ocean are tending to become relatively common objects in the Solar System1. The presence of these long-lived global oceans is generally betrayed by surface modification owing to internal dynamics2. Hence, Mimas would

根据第三段中的“The ocean stores more than nine-tenths of the heat trapped on Earth by greenhouse-gas emissions.(海洋储存了地球上因温室气体排放而滞留的十分之九以上的热量。)”可知,海洋储存着滞留在地球上十分之九以上的热量,结合下文中的“By the middle of the century the ocean could contain ...
