Earth without oceans: NASA presented a new project (Video)
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration presented a new project that shows land without oceans. The agency made a remake of the video on the theme "What will the Earth be like if all the oceans are dry."
The author of the project was the planetary scientist James O’Donoghue. He added a number of significant refinements to the physicist Horace Mitchell’s animation, adjusted the time and added a tracker showing volumes of disappearing water, informs Popular Mechanics.
According to O’Donoghue, as the oceans become shallow, new plots of land, continental shelves or underwater edges of the continents open up. He believes that previously these sites were used as land “bridges” during migration.
“During the last ice age, huge volumes of water were locked up in the form of ice at the poles of the planet. That’s why land bridges used to exist, ”O’Donoghue explains. “Each of them allowed people to migrate, and when the ice age ended, their water, as it were, sealed.”
OXO recently reported on specialists from Stanford and California Universities. They installed a jellyfish prosthesis, which allows you to move more efficiently and faster and not harm her.
