information about climate change reveals that the melting of the ice that often occur during the last few years can trigger a rise in sea levels quickly. Then most likely it is caused landslides under the sea.
As reported by NBC News, Sunday (17/08/2013) for information about climate change, submarine landslides occur almost on every edge of the continent, as most of the world's continental shelf adjacent to the oceanic plate. Triggers, colliding underwater slope effect caused by earthquakes or heavy burden that could potentially generate hazardous tsunami.
Actually, it's clarified more that the half of the sea level on Earth is driven by submarine landslides during the last 125 thousand years. The peak occurred between eight thousand and 15 thousand years ago.
"This period coincides with the peak of sea level rise at the end of the last ice age," said a geophysicist from the United State Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Science Center in Woods Hole, United States (U.S.).
The disaster coincided with climate change. Previous research states that it is caused by global warming is a natural at the time, but there is no solid evidence that can explain it.
To that end, Brothers and colleagues created a computer model of three-dimensional (3D) to visualize the effects of sea level rise as high as 395 feet or approximately 120 meters on the edge of the continental North Carolina and the Amazon in Brazil.
The rapid rise in sea level was then dikarenankan ice (glaciers) in the polar regions are melting up to thousands of meters. The model also shows, the collapsing glaciers triggered landslides under the sea.
The scientists added that the occurrence of landslides under the sea can help release large amounts of methane and other greenhouse gases from the seabed. This certainly encourage major changes in the content of the ocean and the atmosphere, such as climate warming.
Finally, this critical information about climate change will be helpful to observe deeper.
