Antarctica is Sliding Sideways Due to Ice Loss
2013-12-11 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Billions of tons of ice being lost in West Antarctica each year is causing the region to be pushed sideways by sturdier bedrock in the East Antarctica region. Satellite measurements of the continent reveal that the West Antarctic bedrock is being pushed sideways at a rate of up to 12 millimeters (about 0.5 inches) each year, according to scientists from The Ohio State University, who are presenting their work this week at the 46th Annual Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco....

2013 Ozone Hole over Antarctica stretched 8.1 million Square Miles; NASA

Nature World: The ozone hole near the South Pole was smaller this year due to warm air in the months of September and October, NASA said. The ozone layer above the earth serves as a protective shield against harmful ultraviolet radiation. In recent years, this layer has been getting thinner due to the presence of chlorine and bromine that eat away ozone molecules. This year the hole was slightly smaller than the previous years. Researchers say that the local weather was responsible for this shrinkage. Ozone...

Ozone hole over Antarctica caused Africa's warming

LiveScience: The infamous hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica may have caused warming in southern Africa over the past two decades, researchers say. However, as the hole in the ozone layer continues to shrink due to international policies that limit the chemicals that eat away at the ozone, temperatures may cool down in southern Africa, the study researchers also said. Ozone is a cousin to the oxygen molecules people breathe, consisting of three atoms of oxygen instead of the regular oxygen molecule's...
