The Holocene vs. the Pleistocene: Exploring the Mystery of Temperature Stability
Climate & Climate ZonesThe Earth’s climate has undergone significant changes throughout its history, with periods of warming and cooling occurring over millions of years. The Pleistocene Epoch, which lasted from about 2.6 million years ago to 11,700 years ago, was characterized by frequent ice ages, with the climate fluctuating between glacial and interglacial periods. In contrast, the current

Why Didn’t the Air Heat Up? Investigating Radiative Transfer in an Experiment Demonstrating the Atmospheric Greenhouse Effect
Climate & Climate ZonesThe atmospheric greenhouse effect is a well-known phenomenon that plays an important role in regulating the Earth’s temperature. The greenhouse effect is caused by certain gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, which absorb and re-emit infrared radiation. This process results in the trapping of heat in the atmosphere, which
