Past climate change led to underwater landslides in Antarctica
short by Swati Dubey / on Friday, 26 May, 2023
Scientists have linked giant underwater landslides in Antarctica to past climate change. They found layers of fossilised sediments beneath the seafloor, indicating weak conditions during a time when Antarctica experienced higher temperatures, increased sea levels, and smaller ice sheets. As climate change continues, there's a potential for other such giant underwater landslides to take place.
