Climate change threatens unique marimo and their delicate ecosystems.
Rising lake temperatures are threatening unique marimo, a type of spherical green algae, by creating unfavorable conditions for their growth and survival. Marimo thrives in cool, low-temperature aquatic environments. As the water temperatures increase due to climate change, it becomes less suitable for marimo. Higher temperatures can disrupt their ecological niche, potentially leading to reduced […]
2022 volcanic eruption: altering ozone, shifting atmospheric dynamics.
The massive 2022 eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano injected substantial amounts of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere. The sulfur dioxide reacted with water vapor, forming sulfate aerosols that lingered in the atmosphere. These aerosols absorbed and scattered sunlight, altering the stratosphere’s chemistry and dynamics. The increased aerosol concentration contributed to temporary ozone depletion, […]
Alpine rocks unveil Earth’s interior dynamics through plate tectonics evidence.
Alpine rocks, formed by the collision of tectonic plates, provide insights into Earth’s interior dynamics. The folding, faulting, and metamorphism seen in these rocks offer evidence of intense pressure and temperature changes, helping us understand plate tectonics. They reveal the forces that shape the Earth’s crust and the interaction of lithospheric plates. The study of […]
