Unveiling the Interplay: Exploring the Impact of Centrifugal Force on Gravity Vectors in Earth Science and Planetary Science
Natural EnvironmentsGravity: It’s Not Just a Constant Pull – Centrifugal Force Throws a Curveball We tend to think of gravity as this unwavering, constant force, right? Like what goes up must come down, end of story. But the truth is, it’s a bit more complicated than that, especially when you factor in the spin of a
Why was the temperature change greater in higher latitudes than in lower latitudes during the Paleocene/Eocene thermal maximum?
Climate & Climate ZonesThe Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum: When the Poles Really Felt the Heat Imagine Earth getting a fever, a really bad one. That’s essentially what happened during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), about 55.8 million years ago. It was a crazy time. Temperatures spiked by 5 to 8°C – globally! And what’s even crazier is that the
