Global warming is the rise in average temperatures across the globe, which has been ongoing at least since record keeping began in 1880. Here are the bare numbers, according to theNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA): Between 1880 and 1980, the global annual temperature increased...

Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are drying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace.
Agribusiness worldwide accounts for about 17% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, helping to drive the rise in global temperatures, creating pressure on the sector to reduce emissions. Agribusiness is also heavily impacted by the volatility in average temperatures and rainfall, as well as extr...
Mars's atmosphere is about 100 times thinner than Earth's. Without a "thermal blanket," Mars can't retain any heat energy. On average, the temperature on Mars is about minus 80 degrees F (minus 60 degrees Celsius) according to NASA. In winter, near the poles, temperatures can get down...
Above the mesosphere lies the thermosphere, one of the highest layers of Earth’s atmosphere. The thermosphere is characterized by extremely thin air, with gas molecules spread so far apart that they rarely collide. Despite the sparse atmosphere, temperatures in this layer can soar to as high ...
"The surface of the earth is made of tectonic plates, which are about 100 kilometers thick, they move around together. So when they collide or move apart, they form earthquakes as the pressure gathers," explains seismologist Carlo Doglioni, President of Italy's National Institut...
It’s understood that in the southern U.S., near freezing temperatures are considered extreme cold. What Causes Cold Weather? There are several factors that cause cold weather. Seasonally, winter has the coldest months because the Earth’s tilt is away from the sun. This lowers the angle ...
El Niño is associated with above-average equatorial sea-surface temperatures. El Niño's signature warmth is apparent in the November 2015 map.(Image credit: NASA Earth Observatory maps by Joshua Stevens, using data from Coral Reef Watch.) ...
Let's think about things for our beautiful planet. Fortunately,there are many ways to save the Earth and keep it healthy and green. First,we should use energy more wisely. Summer is coming and as temperatures go up,many people turn on the air conditioner to keep cool. However,using the ...
