‘Brunt Ice Self’ crack might cause submersion of London-Florida- Cairo
Researchers have recently identified cracks in Antarctica's ‘Brent Ice Shelf’. They warned that the cracks would soon cause a piece twice the size of New York (302.6 square miles) to break through the original ice cover. The ‘Brent Ice Shelf’ is the Antarctic coastal boundary of Coates Land between the Dawson-Lambton Glacier and the Stancomb-Wills Glacier Tang.
Although it is not yet clear how the rest of the Brent ice shelf will react to this breakdown. However, it goes without saying that the matter is not at all pleasant for human civilization and fauna!
It had to happen! For the past few decades, scientists have been saying that global warming is increasing as a result of limitless man-made pollution. As a result, the frozen ice caps of the North and South Poles will melt and sea level will rise. Who doesn't know, one part of the earth is land and the other three parts is water. So it won't take long at all to drown our favorite habitat and what will happen if we drown, when we think about it, our body becomes confident!
Researchers from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) Haley station have long been researching Brent ice shelves. Research has also been halted twice in recent years due to unexpected glacier changes. In general, this study of the Earth, Earth and space sciences continues throughout the year.
A YouTube channel called Destiny has shown in their documentary series 'Strange Anomaly in Antarctica' that the threat and concern of catastrophic cracks in the ice sheet is not just for the iceberg and Antarctica, but for the whole world.
The narrator of the documentary said that one of the characteristics of West Antarctica is that most of the ice sheets in the region are located far below sea level. In some places the floor is up to one and a half miles below sea level. When ice has reached such a low level above sea level, the ocean can supply warm water over a wide area.
When the ground floor moves, the sea water penetrates into the ice and this causes cracks in the ice cover and floats to pieces. Scientists said this is the first step in a possible series of reactions.
Initially, it was thought that the cracks would cause about 600 square miles of ice to break, and that was not the end of it. If a piece breaks from the main lining in any way, it will cause many more pieces to break continuously. The dangers and concerns of erosion have been explained in that documentary.
That being said, the shock and pressure of the warm water of the ocean usually catches the cracks suddenly and leads to large-scale erosion. This is exactly what is happening on the Brent ice shelf.
Scientists worry that every year many pieces of ice like this are breaking from the original lining. The more they run towards the sea, the more they will melt and the surface of the waves will increase.
Most recently, a report by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said sea levels would rise by about one to three feet by 2100.
Meanwhile, the Strange Anomaly in Antarctica documentary states that if all the ice in West Antarctica melts, the sea level will rise by about 16 feet.
And if the entire Antarctic ice melts, the sea level will be about 216 feet. The documentary also warns of the situation in any country.
In fact, if the sea level rises to 216 feet, the entire Atlantic coast, including the city of Florida, will be submerged. The same will happen to all the coastal countries, cities and towns. The mountains of San Francisco will feel like floating small paper boats. Alexandria and Cairo in Egypt will be swept away by the Mediterranean.
London will be completely under water. Venice will have to be recovered from the depths of the Adriatic Sea, and much of Denmark will be sunk long ago.
