Further evidence comes from fossil record‚ where remains of pollen grains of Northofagus have been found in regions outside the present range of any living species‚ namely Antarctica‚ Western Australia and Patagonia. This also confirms that the climate of Antarctica in Cretaceous times was very different from today. Landmasses undergo major changes of climate as they move across different latitudes. This affects evolutionary processes in that greater species diversity

For example‚ Gore discusses the risk of the collapse of a major ice sheet in Greenland or West Antarctica‚ either of which could raise global sea levels by approximately 20 feet (6m)‚ flooding coastal areas and producing 100 million refugees. Meltwater from Greenland‚ because of its lower salinity‚ could halt the Gulf Stream current and quickly trigger

These were formed by large glaciers scraping across southern areas of Africa‚ South America‚ Australia‚ Antarctica‚ and India. He finds that if all of these plates were fitted together‚ they would form a whole ice sheet‚ one that was not cut up in different pieces. • Wagener discovers mountains in South America (Argentina to be exact) line up with ancient

Global Warming. Shante’ Ebron 08/21/2013 Bill Gangloff SCI/275 The current cycle of global warming is changing the rhythms of climate that all living things have come to rely upon. What will we do to slow this warming? How will we cope with the changes we ’ve already set into motion? While we struggle to figure it all out‚ the face of the Earth as we know it coasts‚ forests‚ farms‚ and snowcapped mountains hangs in the balance. Mitigation means lessening the
