89 percent of this excess heat is stored in the oceans, with the rest in ice and glaciers, the atmosphere and land masses (including inland water bodies). An international research team has now ...

The biggest mass cataclysm of all time, called the end-Permian extinction, occurred 252 million years ago. Some 95% of species disappeared on land and at sea as a result of global warming — with ...

Surprising new fossil evidence undermines the idea that there was ever a mass extinction on land – and may force us to ...

In the last 100 years, post-glacial rebound of land and loss of ice masses have shifted the exact location of the rotational axis by about 20 meters, he said. Knowing where the exact point of ...

A deep ocean basin off western Australia was a key clue to discovering the “lost” land mass’s current home. In terms of breakups, the splitting of Australia and the lost continent of ...

Recent earth science developments suggest that how we count our planet’s largest land masses is less clear than we learned in school. By Matt Kaplan The world is split up into continents ...
