Going far enough back Antarctica was tropical.
What else can I help you with?
How can scientists learn what the climate might have been like on the earth millions of years ago?
The layers in the soil can give a fingerprint of the climate.
What has caused big changes in the climate millions of years ago?
Big changes in the climate millions of years ago were mainly caused by natural factors such as variations in the Earth's orbit, volcanic eruptions, and changes in the composition of the atmosphere due to processes like plate tectonics. These factors led to periods of global warming and cooling, resulting in shifts in temperature, sea levels, and weather patterns over time.
What is Antarctica's wind like?
Antarcticas wind is very powerful at times and can be so hard it will blow you cap off, how this helps.
What as antarcticas weather been like in the past week?
As of July 4, 2014, the weather is cold, windy, dry and it is dark.
Is it true that earth looks the same today as it did millions of years ago?
No, Earth's surface has undergone significant changes over millions of years due to geological processes like plate tectonics, erosion, and volcanic activity. Continents have shifted, mountains have formed and eroded, and the climate has fluctuated, leading to a constantly changing landscape.
What is one benefit of warm temperatures brought about by climate change?
Cold countries will become warmer. This may only be short-lived and be overwhelmed by other events, like millions of climate refugees at the borders.
What does the geologic timescale encompass tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years?
More like over 4 billion years - that's the approximate age of planet Earth.
Does the earth look the same way it did millions of years ago?
No, the Earth has undergone significant changes over the millions of years due to processes like plate tectonics, erosion, and climate change. Continents have shifted, mountains have formed and eroded, and sea levels have fluctuated, resulting in a continuously evolving appearance of the Earth's surface.
How might a tree fossil help a scientist understand the climate of certain places millions of years ago?
If you can identify the tree, you can understand what growing conditions it preferred, and that, combined with other clues, will tell you about the climate millions of years ago. Eg. some trees are found only near water, some prefer dry climates, many are very temperature specific, etc.
Does the Earths climate remain the same over time?
No, the Earth's climate is constantly changing due to natural factors such as volcanic eruptions and solar variations, as well as human activities like burning fossil fuels. These changes can lead to shifts in temperature, precipitation patterns, and sea levels over long periods of time.
When did they have rivers in Canada?
there have been rivers for millions of years..... what do you think Canada is like?
Why does it take a millions of years to form soil?
Soil is formed through a process called weathering, which breaks down rocks into smaller particles. Factors like climate, vegetation, topography, and parent material influence the speed of the weathering process. It can take millions of years for soil to form because the natural processes of weathering and organic matter deposition occur slowly over time.
