Antarctic Ice Melt Weakens Strongest Ocean Current, Disrupting Global Circulation
- Friday March 21, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the planet’s most powerful ocean circulation system, could slow by 20 percent by 2050 due to melting Antarctic ice. Researchers suggest that the influx of fresh, cold water is disrupting convection, altering global ocean density. A weaker current may allow warm water to reach Antarctica, accelerating ice loss an...

World’s Largest Iceberg A23a Grounds Near South Georgia, Raising Wildlife and Environmental Concerns
- Friday March 7, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The world’s largest iceberg, A23a, has run aground near South Georgia, a key wildlife haven. Scientists are monitoring its impact on marine life, particularly on penguins and seals, as it could disrupt feeding routes. Some experts suggest the iceberg may also enhance ocean productivity by releasing nutrients. If it fragments, it may pose risks to...

Antarctic Ice Sheet Melting May Intensify Volcanic Eruptions, Study Finds
- Tuesday January 14, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The melting of Antarctic ice sheets is linked to more intense and frequent volcanic eruptions, as found by recent research. Reduced ice mass alleviates pressure on magma chambers beneath the surface, causing them to expand and release volatile gases, which can lead to eruptions. A study has drawn connections between this process and increased volca...
