If the earth warms by two degrees:

  • The glaciers will disappear from Greenland
  • Polar bears will struggle to survive as so much ice has melted
  • Insects move with the climate. Pine bark beetles will move north and kill off the white bark forests in the USA that provide the grizzly bear with food
  • New forests will spring up in the melting tundra of Canada
  • Pacific islands like Tuvalu are underwater
  • Most of the world's tropical coral reefs will be lost.
Coral reefs are like the canary in the coal mine, warning us of danger to ocean life.

Can you drill through the center of the Earth?

No, it is not physically possible to drill through the center of the Earth. The extreme temperatures and pressures at the Earth's core would destroy any drill bit or equipment that attempts to reach it. Additionally, the distance to the Earth's core is far beyond the capabilities of current drilling technology.


How hot is 77 degrees Fahrenheit?

For me, it's very hot. For most people it's a little bit too warm. Room temperature is 68-72 degrees. I personally like it 58-60, but that's just me. 77F is 25C, which is considered warm to hot.


How does global warming affect the temperature of the surface of the earth?

The sun warms us, and most of its rays warm the surface of the earth. This warmth rises up into the atmosphere (infrared heat) and most of it is captured by greenhouse gases already there (natural water vapour and carbon dioxide, as well as extra carbon dioxide from burning coal and oil).The heat from these warm greenhouse gases spreads out in all directions, including back down to earth, where it warms the earth's surface a bit more.


What many kilometers would you have to dig to go through the Earth?

The distance to the Earth's core is about 6,370 km, so you would have to dig about 12,740 km to get across. Of course, this would vary a bit depending on there you started. Starting at the top of Mt. Everest, for example, would add about 9 km, but if you started from the Challenger Deep in the Pacific Ocean, you'd have about 11 km less. can you explain it in a more easier way please? love, mia renae


What change would happen if earths rate of rotation were to increase?

If rotation speed increased:The length of the day would be less than 24 hours; there would be more days in a year,and more days in a cycle of moon phases.If revolution speed increased:The length of the year would be shorter; there would be fewer days in a year and also in each season. The length of the day would become more than 24 hours.

Imagine the Earth is getting close to the event horizon of a very massive black hole What will happen to the Earth?

As the Earth approaches the event horizon of a massive black hole, tidal forces would become so strong that it would be stretched and ripped apart. The intense gravitational pull would cause the planet to disintegrate into a stream of particles before eventually being pulled into the black hole beyond the event horizon.
