22 Σεπ 2021 · There are really two rotational forces that affect Earth’s spin. The tides drag on the planet, slowing it down. But the sun also heats one side more during the day, causing the oceans and ...
19 Οκτ 2023 · The gravitational pull of the moon and the rotational force of the Earth cause tides to rise and fall across the planet. The species living in coastal areas most affected by changing tides have unique ways of surviving.
18 Δεκ 2019 · As human activity warms our planet, the ocean absorbs over 90% of the excess heat. This increases water volume and melts ice sheets and glaciers, contributing to sea level rise. Watch the video to learn how much global sea level is rising each year, what that looks like in everyday terms, and why it matters.
