“Once the continents reach a supercontinent state, carbon dioxide emissions from volcanic activity are a major uncertainty.” In research that was published in the journalGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystemsin July 2021, researchers used 3D global climate models to simulate how the Aurica and Am...
Planet Earth is home to 7.3 billion people and over 1.5 million different species of animals, insects, and plants spread across 7 continents. Earth was not always comprised of seven continents. A billion years ago, the world would have been much different being made of much more water than w...
The dinosaurs wentextinctabout 65 million years ago, at the end of theCretaceous period, which was a time of high volcanic andtectonic activity. There are many theories why the extinction occurred. The most widely accepted theory is that an asteroid impact caused major climate changes to which ...
South America is a continent in the Western Hemisphere that encompasses 12 different countries. Spanish is the official language of most countries in South America. However, other languages, like Portuguese, are also widely spoken. The biggest countries in the continent are Brazil, Argentina and Per...
Strong interannual variation of the Indian summer monsoon in the Late Miocene The modern Asian monsoon system exhibits strong interannual variation, which has profound environmental and economical impacts. It has been well-documented... H Tang,JT Eronen,A Micheels,... - 《Climate Dynamics》 被引...
Pangaea came together about 300 Ma, in lateCarboniferoustime. Because it was the latest supercontinent, the evidence of its existence has not been obscured by a lot of later plate collisions and mountain-building. It appears to have been a complete supercontinent, encompassing up to 90 percent ...
The supercontinent Pangaea which had dominated the Triassic period was rapidly breaking up, and mountains rising up from the ocean floor pushed sea levels up. This made the previously hot and dry climate fairly humid, and prompted the growth of many more plants and trees such as palms and ...
Weathering of rocks in the soil was accelerated by acid rain caused by volcanic sulphur as temperatures rose. Similar to what happened in the late Devonian, increased weathering would have led to anoxia, which blocked the streams. Climate simulations indicate that throughout that time, the oceans...
