The truth about sea level rise 120,000 years ago
The seawater has suddenly risen to 3 m in just 50 years in the middle of the ice ages about 120,000 years ago.
The seawater has suddenly risen to 3 m in just 50 years in the middle of the ice ages about 120,000 years ago.
This is the conclusion of a group of Mexican scientists and this conclusion is completely contrary to previous research by some scientists that the process of sea level rise during this period takes place slowly and extends the line thousand years.
According to Professor Paul Blanchon - Research leader, scientists found on the Yucatan Peninsula in southeastern Mexico, fossils of a large number of corals died of mass due to rising sea levels. .
These dead corals today have become the "habitat" of new coral layers adapted to the sudden change of habitat. They believe that this is valuable scientific evidence preserved by stable geological factors in the Caribbean Sea.
Mr. Blanchon said the cause of sudden sea level rise in such a short time could only be ice melting at the poles when the Earth warmed during the ice ages.
Scientific studies have recently warned of the current ice melting rate on Greenland Island and the two poles of the Earth, the phenomenon of sea level rise at the same rate may repeat within the next 100 years, and the process This will threaten many major coastal cities as well as submerge many atolls in the Indian and Pacific oceans.
