Scientists Warn of Alarming Rise in Marine Heat Waves and Its Impact on Oceans
- Thursday March 6, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Reports indicate a sharp rise in marine heat waves, with 2023–2024 experiencing a 240% increase compared to past years. Scientists warn of devastating effects on marine life, including mass die-offs, coral reef degradation, and increased storm intensity. Coastal communities are at risk as extreme weather events linked to warming oceans become mor...

Greenland's Ice Sheet Approaches Dangerous Tipping Point Amid Rapid Melting
- Thursday February 27, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Greenland’s massive ice sheet is losing ice at an accelerating rate, with scientists warning that a global temperature rise of just 2°C could trigger irreversible collapse. The loss of 230 gigatons of ice per year is the estimated threshold for this tipping point. If melting continues at current rates, sea levels could rise by approximately 7 me...

Scientists Discover Declining Global Ocean Evaporation Amid Rising Temperatures
- Tuesday February 25, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Recent research has revealed a decline in global ocean evaporation since 2008, challenging traditional climate models. Despite increasing sea surface temperatures, evaporation rates have decreased across two-thirds of the world's oceans. Scientists attribute this unexpected trend to reduced wind speeds, or "wind stilling," and shifts in atmospheric...

Ocean Warming Rate Quadruples Over Four Decades, Accelerating Climate Change
- Friday January 31, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
New research highlights a troubling acceleration in ocean warming, with the rate of temperature rise quadrupling since the 1980s. According to a study in Environmental Research Letters, ocean surface temperatures now rise at 0.27°C per decade, up from 0.06°C. This rapid warming, driven by greenhouse gases like CO2 and methane, is worsening Earth'...

Denmark Strait Cataract: World's Largest Underwater Waterfall Discovered
- Monday December 23, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The Denmark Strait cataract, the world’s largest underwater waterfall, is located between Iceland and Greenland. Plunging 11,500 feet from top to bottom, it plays a key role in the global ocean circulation system. The waterfall forms part of the thermohaline circulation, which helps regulate the Earth's climate. Despite its immense size, it remai...

Future Supercontinent Pangea Ultima Could Trigger Mass Extinction, Reveals New Study
- Wednesday November 6, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A University of Bristol study warns that Earth’s future supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, may make the planet uninhabitable for humans and mammals. Due to a combination of rising CO₂ levels, increased solar radiation, and vast land area far from oceanic cooling, the supercontinent could experience widespread extreme temperatures. Though millions o...

New Study Reveals Weaker Atlantic Current Could Mitigate Arctic Warming
- Monday November 4, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Recent research from UC Riverside reveals that a weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could limit Arctic temperature increases by up to 2 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. While this slowdown may offer some relief, ongoing threats to Arctic wildlife and potential global weather disruptions remain a serious concern. ...

Will Hurricanes Become Even Stronger as the Planet Warms?
- Thursday October 10, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Hurricanes derive their strength from warm ocean waters, with current theoretical wind speed limits around 200 mph. However, as global temperatures continue to rise due to climate change, experts predict hurricanes could intensify even further. This increase in ocean heat may push the limits, potentially resulting in stronger storms with winds exce...
