Question: As landmasses elevate in response to the melting of once-overwhelming glaciers, the geological landscape undergoes significant transformation. This phenomenon occurs when the weight of massive ice sheets is removed from continental surfaces during periods of climate-induced glacial retreats. The unburdened earth then experiences an upward shift or rebound known scientifically as post-glacial uplift. It's akin to how a boat rises slightly higher out of water upon offloading heavy cargo. Such changes can have profound effects on coastlines, potentially leading to creation of new islands while submerging others under rising sea levels - all part of Earth’s dynamic equilibrium adjustments following major climatic shifts like those brought about by global warming events throughout history.

 Post-Ice Age Continental Uplift
Following the retreat of massive continental glaciers, regions once burdened under immense ice sheets now experience significant uplift - a phenomenon known as post-glacial rebound. During the last Ice Age, areas encompassing much of northern Europe, Canada, and Alaska bore heavy loads of ice up to three kilometers thick. Upon melting around twelve thousand years ago, these territories began rising gradually; some continue uplifting even today. This geophysical adjustment involves crustal plates springing back into position void of weighty ice masses. Notably, Scandinavia rises annually at approximately half a centimeter while Alaska experiences uplift closer to four millimeters per year. The effect spans vast expanses across North America, Greenland, Iceland, Britain, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and Antarctica – former glaciated lands now undergoing transformation. Such changes impact coastlines through sea-level adjustments, influence river drainage systems, affect seismicity within tectonic plates, modify landscapes, alter ecosystems, reshape soil compositions, and potentially trigger volcanic eruptions. Studying post-glacial rebounds offers insights into historical ice sheet dynamics, plate tectonics, mantle rheology, gravitational effects, and long-term landscape evolution. Moreover, understanding how continents respond to past ice loading helps predict future responses amid ongoing global warming scenarios impacting current ice-covered zones.

In essence, the provided document discusses the concept of post-glacial rebound following the melting of ice sheets, akin to discussing geographical phenomena related to the claim but ensuring no direct reference to specific claims made earlier regarding the Karoo Supergroup. Both documents maintain comparable lengths, complexities, and styles without changing the underlying relationship between claim and supporting information.

Decompression sickness ( DCS ; also known as divers ' disease , the bends or caisson disease ) describes a condition arising from dissolved gases coming out of solution into bubbles inside the body on depressurisation . DCS most commonly refers to problems arising from underwater diving decompression ( i.e. , during ascent ) , but may be experienced in other depressurisation events such as emerging from a caisson , flying in an unpressurised aircraft at altitude , and extravehicular activity from spacecraft . DCS and arterial gas embolism are collectively referred to as decompression illness .   Since bubbles can form in or migrate to any part of the body , DCS can produce many symptoms , and its effects may vary from joint pain and rashes to paralysis and death . Individual susceptibility can vary from day to day , and different individuals under the same conditions may be affected differently or not at all . The classification of types of DCS by its symptoms has evolved since its original description over a hundred years ago .   Risk of DCS caused by diving can be managed through proper decompression procedures and contracting it is now uncommon . Its potential severity has driven much research to prevent it and divers almost universally use dive tables or dive computers to limit their exposure and to control their ascent speed . If DCS is suspected , it is treated by hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a recompression chamber . If treated early , there is a significantly higher chance of successful recovery .

Detritus ( -LSB- prondɪˈtraɪtəs -RSB- adjective detrital -LSB- dɪˈtraɪtəl -RSB- ) is particles of rock derived from pre-existing rock through processes of weathering and erosion . A fragment of detritus is called a clast . Detrital particles can consist of lithic fragments ( particles of recognisable rock ) , or of monomineralic fragments ( mineral grains ) . Particles may be transported to riverbeds , lakes , or oceans , forming sedimentary successions . Diagenetic processes can transform these sediments into rock through cementation and lithification , forming sedimentary rocks such as sandstone . These rocks can then in turn again be weathered and eroded to form a second generation of sediment .

Rabbit Mountain is an eroded volcanic outcrop in the Wrangell Volcanic Field , Yukon Territory , Canada , located 30 km southwest of Koidern and 4 km northwest of Canyon Mountain . It is east of the Yukon-Alaska boundary and can be accessed by old mining roads that reach Rabbit Creek . Rabbit Mountain formed as a result of melting of the crust , due to subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate and last erupted during the Pliocene . Like most volcanoes in the Yukon , Rabbit Mountain is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire , that includes over 160 active volcanoes .

Diamicton ( also diamict ) ( from Greek δια ( dia - ) : through and µεικτός ( meiktós ) : mixed ) is a terrigenous sediment ( a sediment resulting from dry-land erosion ) that is unsorted to poorly sorted and contains particles ranging in size from clay to boulders , suspended in a matrix of mud or sand .   The term was proposed by Flint and others as a purely descriptive term , devoid of any reference to a specific origin or depositional environment . Although the term is most commonly applied to unsorted glacial deposits ( i.e. , glacial till ) , other processes that create diamictons are solifluction , landslides , debris flows , and turbiditic olistostromes .   Lithified diamicton is referred to as diamictite .

A revolution ( from the Latin revolutio , `` a turn around '' ) is a fundamental change in political power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time when the population rises up in revolt against the current authorities .  Aristotle described two types of political revolution :  Complete change from one constitution to another  Modification of an existing constitution .  Revolutions have occurred through human history and vary widely in terms of methods , duration , and motivating ideology . Their results include major changes in culture , economy , and socio-political institutions .   Scholarly debates about what does and does not constitute a revolution center on several issues . Early studies of revolutions primarily analyzed events in European history from a psychological perspective , but more modern examinations include global events and incorporate perspectives from several social sciences , including sociology and political science . Several generations of scholarly thought on revolutions have generated many competing theories and contributed much to the current understanding of this complex phenomenon .

The decompression of a diver is the reduction in ambient pressure experienced during ascent from depth . It is also the process of elimination of dissolved inert gases from the diver 's body , which occurs during the ascent , during pauses in the ascent known as decompression stops , and after surfacing until the gas concentrations reach equilibrium . Divers breathing gas at ambient pressure need to ascend at a rate determined by their exposure to pressure and the breathing gas in use . A diver who only breathes gas at atmospheric pressure when free-diving or snorkelling will not usually need to decompress , Divers using an atmospheric diving suit do not need to decompress as they are never exposed to high ambient pressure .   When a diver descends in the water the hydrostatic pressure , and therefore the ambient pressure , rises . Because breathing gas is supplied at ambient pressure , some of this gas dissolves into the diver 's blood and is transferred by the blood to other tissues . Inert gas such as nitrogen or helium continues to be taken up until the gas dissolved in the diver is in a state of equilibrium with the breathing gas in the diver 's lungs , at which point the diver is saturated for that depth and breathing mixture , or the depth , and therefore the pressure , is changed . During ascent , the ambient pressure is reduced , and at some stage the inert gases dissolved in any given tissue will be at a higher concentration than the equilibrium state and start to diffuse out again . If the pressure reduction is sufficient , excess gas may form bubbles , which may lead to decompression sickness , a possibly debilitating or life-threatening condition . It is essential that divers manage their decompression to avoid excessive bubble formation and decompression sickness . A mismanaged decompression usually results from reducing the ambient pressure too quickly for the amount of gas in solution to be eliminated safely . These bubbles may block arterial blood supply to tissues or directly cause tissue damage . If the decompression is effective , the asymptomatic venous microbubbles present after most dives are eliminated from the diver 's body in the alveolar capillary beds of the lungs . If they are not given enough time , or more bubbles are created than can be eliminated safely , the bubbles grow in size and number causing the symptoms and injuries of decompression sickness . The immediate goal of controlled decompression is to avoid development of symptoms of bubble formation in the tissues of the diver , and the long-term goal is to avoid complications due to sub-clinical decompression injury .   The mechanisms of bubble formation and the damage bubbles cause has been the subject of medical research for a considerable time and several hypotheses have been advanced and tested . Tables and algorithms for predicting the outcome of decompression schedules for specified hyperbaric exposures have been proposed , tested and used , and in many cases , superseded . Although constantly refined and generally considered acceptably reliable , the actual outcome for any individual diver remains slightly unpredictable . Although decompression retains some risk , this is now generally considered acceptable for dives within the well tested range of normal recreational and professional diving . Nevertheless , all currently popular decompression procedures advise a ` safety stop ' additional to any stops required by the algorithm , usually of about three to five minutes at 3 to , even on an otherwise continuous no-stop ascent .   Decompression may be continuous or staged . A staged decompression is interrupted by decompression stops at calculated depth intervals , but the entire ascent is actually part of the decompression and the ascent rate is critical to harmless elimination of inert gas . A no-decompression dive , or more accurately , a dive with no-stop decompression , relies on limiting the ascent rate for avoidance of excessive bubble formation . The elapsed time at surface pressure immediately after a dive is also an important part of decompression and can be thought of as the last decompression stop of a dive . It can take up to 24 hours for the body to return to its normal atmospheric levels of inert gas saturation after a dive . When time is spent on the surface between dives this is known as the `` surface interval '' and is considered when calculating decompression requirements for the subsequent dive .

In the U.S. state of Wisconsin , the Lake Superior Lowland , also known as the Superior Coastal Plain , is a geographical region located in the far northern part of the state bordering Lake Superior . It covers about 1250 sqmi , and does not extend beyond 20 mi from the Lake Superior shore .   The Lake Superior Lowland is defined by a plain that slopes gently downward towards the north . While the area is mostly flat , the altitude ranges from about 600 feet ( 180 m ) to 1000 feet ( or 300 meters ) above sea level . The higher altitudes are located on the Bayfield Peninsula , where the characteristic plain gives way to more rugged hills . Northeast of the peninsula are the Apostle Islands , which have been designated as a National Lakeshore .   Woodland covers most of the Lake Superior Lowland . Much of the forested area is dominated by aspen and birch trees , with some conifers interspersed throughout the forest . Some pasture and cropland has been established on the plain . Marshes and wetlands exist in a few places in the region , and several rivers drain the region into Lake Superior , including the Brule River , which is surrounded by a State Forest . Two Ojibwa Indian reservations are located along the shores of Lake Superior , the Bad River Indian Reservation and the Red Cliff Indian Reservation . The largest city in the area is Superior , Wisconsin . Other cities include Ashland and Washburn .   This is part of a northern Wisconsin area colloquially referred to as `` up north . ''

The largest organisms found on Earth can be determined according to various aspects of an organism 's size , such as : mass , volume , area , length , height , or even genome size . Some organisms group together to form a superorganism ( such as ants or bees ) , but such are not classed as single large organisms . The Great Barrier Reef is the world 's largest structure composed of living entities , stretching 2,000 km , but contains many organisms of many types of species .   This article lists the largest species for various types of organisms , and mostly considers extant species . The organism sizes listed are frequently considered `` outsized '' and are not in the normal size range for the respective group .   If considered singular entities , the largest organisms are clonal colonies which can spread over large areas . Pando , a clonal colony of the aspen tree , is widely considered to be the largest such organism by mass . Even if such colonies are excluded , trees retain their dominance of this listing , with the giant sequoia being the most massive tree .   Among animals , the largest species are all marine mammals , specifically whales . The blue whale is believed to be the largest animal to have ever lived . The largest land animal classification is also dominated by mammals , with the African bush elephant being the most massive of these .

Demography ( from prefix demo - from Ancient Greek δῆμος dēmos meaning `` the people '' , and - graphy from γράφω graphō , implies `` writing , description or measurement '' ) is the statistical study of populations , especially human beings . As a very general science , it can analyze any kind of dynamic living population , i.e. , one that changes over time or space ( see population dynamics ) . Demography encompasses the study of the size , structure , and distribution of these populations , and spatial or temporal changes in them in response to birth , migration , ageing , and death . Based on the demographic research of the earth , earth 's population up to the year 2050 and 2100 can be estimated by demographers . Demographics are quantifiable characteristics of a given population .   Demographic analysis can cover whole societies or groups defined by criteria such as education , nationality , religion , and ethnicity . Educational institutions usually treat demography as a field of sociology , though there are a number of independent demography departments .   Formal demography limits its object of study to the measurement of population processes , while the broader field of social demography or population studies also analyses the relationships between economic , social , cultural , and biological processes influencing a population .

Lake Atna ( -LSB- ɑːtˈnə -RSB- also known as Lake Ahtna ) was a prehistoric proglacial lake that initially formed approximately 58 ka ( thousand years ago ) in the Copper River Basin , an area roughly centered around 245 km northeast of modern-day Anchorage , Alaska . The lake formed and dispersed during the Wisconsin glaciation . The lake existed in several forms , with several prominent shorelines observable in modern geology . At its greatest extent , the lake surface area was approximately half the size of modern-day Lake Ontario , and possibly much larger . The basin of the lake lay within an area bordered by the Alaska Range to the north , the Wrangell Mountains to the east , the Chugach Mountains to the south , and the Talkeetna Mountains to the west . Lake Atna may have generated several of the largest ever glacial lake outburst floods . One such flood may have contributed to the destruction caused by the 1964 Alaska earthquake .


Question: My inference leads me to deduce that it's the buildup of ice resulting from seawater evaporating followed by freezing upon falling as snow or sleet. This process contributes significantly to glacial mass formation in polar regions. However, this statement has increased both length and complexity compared with original one. A more suitable alternative could be: "I gather that ice build-up stems primarily from sea-water evaporation then precipitating out as frozen particles."

 Ice Formation Process
Ice formation occurs via several stages: initially, water vapor evaporates from oceans, lakes, and rivers; next, this vapor cools down significantly until condensation takes place forming tiny droplets suspended within clouds; finally, upon reaching freezing point (0°C), these droplets solidify resulting in ice crystal creation - often observed as snowfall near landmasses experiencing colder climates than surrounding bodies' waters. Precipitation events involving ice crystals can lead directly onto ground surfaces where they accumulate gradually building up layers known collectively as "snow pack". Once deposited thereon follows transformational changes brought about either naturally occurring cycles e.g., diurnal heating/cooling fluctuations leading eventually towards melting/sublimating back again into gaseous state OR anthropogenic influences impacting local microclimates thereby accelerating/slowing aforementioned processes respectively depending contextually specific circumstances involved therein.

Refrigeration is a process of moving heat from one location to another in controlled conditions . The work of heat transport is traditionally driven by mechanical work , but can also be driven by heat , magnetism , electricity , laser , or other means . Refrigeration has many applications , including , but not limited to : household refrigerators , industrial freezers , cryogenics , and air conditioning . Heat pumps may use the heat output of the refrigeration process , and also may be designed to be reversible , but are otherwise similar to air conditioning units .   Refrigeration has had a large impact on industry , lifestyle , agriculture and settlement patterns . The idea of preserving food dates back to at least the ancient Roman and Chinese empires . However , mechanical refrigeration technology has rapidly evolved in the last century , from ice harvesting to temperature-controlled rail cars . The introduction of refrigerated rail cars contributed to the westward expansion of the United States , allowing settlement in areas that were not on main transport channels such as rivers , harbors , or valley trails . Settlements were also developing in infertile parts of the country , filled with newly discovered natural resources . These new settlement patterns sparked the building of large cities which are able to thrive in areas that were otherwise thought to be inhospitable , such as Houston , Texas and Las Vegas , Nevada . In most developed countries , cities are heavily dependent upon refrigeration in supermarkets , in order to obtain their food for daily consumption . The increase in food sources has led to a larger concentration of agricultural sales coming from a smaller percentage of existing farms . Farms today have a much larger output per person in comparison to the late 1800s . This has resulted in new food sources available to entire populations , which has had a large impact on the nutrition of society .

Latin is a heavily inflected language with largely free word order . Nouns are inflected for number and case ; pronouns and adjectives ( including participles ) are inflected for number , case , and gender ; and verbs are inflected for person , number , tense , voice , and mood . The inflections are often changes in the ending of a word , but can be more complicated , especially with verbs .   The complete set of inflections of a noun , pronoun or adjective is the declension . Nouns fall into five declension patterns or declensions .   The pattern of inflections of a verb is known as its conjugation . Regular verbs are grouped into four main conjugations .   Latin does not have articles and so does not generally differentiate between , for example , `` a girl '' and `` the girl '' : puella amat means both `` a girl loves '' and `` the girl loves '' .   Latin word order is generally subject -- object -- verb . However , other word orders are common , especially in poetry . They can also be used to express subtle nuances , even in prose .   On the other hand , subject-verb-object word order was probably common in ancient Latin conversation , as it is prominent in the Vulgate Bible and the Romance languages , which evolved from Latin .   In Latin an adjective can come either before or after a noun , e.g. vir bonus or bonus vir `` a good man '' , although some kinds of adjectives , such as adjectives of nationality ( vir Rōmānus `` a Roman man '' ) usually follow the noun . The adjective may also be separated from its noun by other words , especially in verse .   Latin is generally inflexible about order with regard to the preposition preceding the object ( postpositives are uncommon ) .   Often , Latin omits pronouns as the subject except for emphasis . Usually , the form of the verb specifies the grammatical person and number of the subject . Latin also exhibits verb framing in which the path of motion is encoded into the verb rather than shown by a separate word or phrase . For example , the Latin verb exit ( a compound of and ) means `` he/she/it goes out '' .

Lapilli is a size classification term for tephra , which is material that falls out of the air during a volcanic eruption or during some meteorite impacts . Lapilli ( singular : lapillus ) means `` little stones '' in Latin .   By definition lapilli range from 2 to in diameter . A pyroclastic particle greater than 64 mm in diameter is known as a volcanic bomb when molten , or a volcanic block when solid . Pyroclastic material with particles less than 2 mm in diameter is referred to as volcanic ash .

Redaction is a form of editing in which multiple source texts are combined ( redacted ) and altered slightly to make a single document . Often this is a method of collecting a series of writings on a similar theme and creating a definitive and coherent work .   The term is also used to describe removal of some document content , replacing it typically with black rectangles which indicate the removal , although this usage was not documented by authorities such as the Oxford English Dictionary , though earlier editions gave only this definition . For example , originally classified documents released under freedom of information legislation may have sensitive information redacted in this way . This usage is discussed in the article on an alternative name for this practice , sanitization .

Land reclamation , usually known as reclamation , and also known as land fill ( not to be confused with a landfill ) , is the process of creating new land from ocean , riverbeds , or lake beds . The land reclaimed is known as reclamation ground or land fill .   In a number of other jurisdictions , including parts of the United States , the term `` reclamation '' can refer to returning disturbed lands to an improved state . In Alberta , Canada , for example , reclamation is defined by the provincial government as `` The process of reconverting disturbed land to its former or other productive uses . '' In Oceania it is frequently referred to as land rehabilitation .

Dehumanization or an act thereof can describe a behavior or process that undermines individuality of and in others . Behaviorally , dehumanization describes a disposition towards others that debases the others ' individuality as either an `` individual '' species or an `` individual '' object , e.g. someone who acts inhumanely towards humans . As a process , it may be understood as the opposite of personification , a figure of speech in which inanimate objects or abstractions are endowed with human qualities ; dehumanization then is the disendowment of these same qualities or a reduction to abstraction , e.g. Technology revolutions cause the dehumanization of labor markets to the point of antiquation .   In almost all contexts , dehumanization is used pejoratively along a disruption of social norms , with the former applying to the actor ( s ) of behavioral dehumanization and the latter applying to the action ( s ) or processes of dehumanization . As social norms define what humane behavior is , reflexively these same social norms define what it is n't or inhumane . Dehumanization differs from inhumane behaviors or processes in its breadth to include the emergence of new competing social norms . This emergence then is the action of dehumanization until the old norms lose out to the competing new norms , which will then redefine the action of dehumanization . If the new norms lose acceptance then the action remains one of dehumanization and its severity is comparative to past examples throughout history . However , dehumanization 's definition remains in a reflexive state of a type-token ambiguity relative to both scales individual and societal .   Biologically , dehumanization can be described as an introduced species marginalizing the human species or an introduced person/process that debases other persons inhumanely .   In political science and jurisprudence , the act of dehumanization is the inferential alienation of human rights or denaturalization of natural rights , a definition contingent upon presiding international law rather than social norms limited by human geography . In this context , specialty within species need not apply to constitute global citizenship or its inalienable rights ; these both are inherit by human genome .   It is theorized to take on two forms : animalistic dehumanization , which is employed on a largely intergroup basis , and mechanistic dehumanization , which is employed on a largely interpersonal basis . Dehumanization can occur discursively ( e.g. , idiomatic language that likens certain human beings to non-human animals , verbal abuse , erasing one 's voice from discourse ) , symbolically ( e.g. , imagery ) , or physically ( e.g. , chattel slavery , physical abuse , refusing eye contact ) . Dehumanization often ignores the target 's individuality ( i.e. , the creative and interesting aspects of their personality ) and can hinder one from feeling empathy or properly understanding a stigmatized group of people .   Dehumanization may be carried out by a social institution ( such as a state , school , or family ) , interpersonally , or even within the self . Dehumanization can be unintentional , especially on the part of individuals , as with some types of de facto racism . State-organized dehumanization has historically been directed against perceived political , racial , ethnic , national , or religious minority groups . Other minoritized and marginalized individuals and groups ( based on sexual orientation , gender , disability , class , or some other organizing principle ) are also susceptible to various forms of dehumanization . The concept of dehumanization has received empirical attention in the psychological literature . It is conceptually related to infrahumanization , delegitimization , moral exclusion , and objectification . Dehumanization occurs across several domains ; is facilitated by status , power , and social connection ; and results in behaviors like exclusion , violence , and support for violence against others .   `` Dehumanisation is viewed as a central component to intergroup violence because it is frequently the most important precursor to moral exclusion , the process by which stigmatized groups are placed outside the boundary in which moral values , rules , and considerations of fairness apply . ''   David Livingstone Smith , director and founder of The Human Nature Project at the University of New England , argues that historically , human beings have been dehumanizing one another for thousands of years .

Development of doctrine is a term used by John Henry Newman and other theologians influenced by him to describe the way Catholic teaching has become more detailed and explicit over the centuries , while later statements of doctrine remain consistent with earlier statements .

Raoult 's law ( -LSB- ˈräōōlz -RSB- law ) is a law of thermodynamics established by French chemist François-Marie Raoult in 1887 . It states that the partial vapor pressure of each component of an ideal mixture of liquids is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure component multiplied by its mole fraction in the mixture .   Mathematically , Raoult 's law for a single component in an ideal solution is stated as  ,  where is the partial vapor pressure of the component in the gaseous mixture ( above the solution ) , is the vapor pressure of the pure component , and is the mole fraction of the component in the mixture ( in the solution ) .   Once the components in the solution have reached equilibrium , the total vapor pressure of the solution can be determined by combining Raoult 's law with Dalton 's law of partial pressures to give  .   If a non-volatile solute ( zero vapor pressure , does not evaporate ) is dissolved into a solvent to form an ideal solution , the vapor pressure of the final solution will be lower than that of the solvent . The decrease in vapor pressure is directly proportional to the mole fraction of solute in an ideal solution .   .

Reanalysis is a new analysis of something . It may refer to :   Reanalysis ( linguistics ) or folk etymology , change in a word or phrase resulting from the replacement of an unfamiliar form by a more familiar one  Rebracketing , a process where a word originally derived from one source is broken down into a different set of factors  Back-formation , a process of creating a new word by removing actual or supposed affixes  New statistical analysis of a data set that has already been analyzed


Question: My inference leads me to believe that ice buildup results from seawater's evaporation followed by snowfall transforming into solid ice.

 Understanding Glacial Contributions to Sea Level Rise
Glaciers play a significant role in contributing to rising sea levels, particularly when considering how they accumulate mass via snowfall and lose it through melting or calving (breaking off). When glacial ice melts, its freshwater adds to the total volume of seawater, causing seas to expand and thus elevating overall sea levels globally. However, the impact varies regionally; some areas experience greater changes compared to others due to local conditions - encompassing geologic movements, sinking lands, tidal fluctuations, stream flows, wind-driven waves, among other elements. Scientists predict ongoing increases throughout millennia ahead because current trends indicate continued atmospheric heating leading to accelerated glacier retreat. According to recent assessments summarized under Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change Fifth Assessment Report published back in year twenty fourteen, there exists high confidence amongst experts regarding accelerating pace post nineteen seventy-one until recently measured period ending around two thousand ten timeframe. Various projections exist depending upon different scenarios considered plausible based upon existing knowledge about underlying physical mechanisms involved hereunder. For instance, National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration issued guidance earlier last decade estimating probable ranges spanning anywhere roughly equivalent thirty centimeters up till potentially exceeding multiple meters across entire duration covered under twenty-first century chronology. Rising sea surfaces significantly affect communities residing near coasts alongside numerous ecological niches occupied predominantly underwater realms inhabited mostly fish types plus various mammalian forms alike.

Davis Sea is an area of the sea along the coast of East Antarctica between West Ice Shelf in the west and the Shackleton Ice Shelf in the east , or between 82 ° and 96 ° E . The name `` Davis Sea '' appears in most leading geographically authoritative publications such as the 2014 10th edition World Atlas from the National Geographic Society and the 2014 12th edition of the Times Atlas of the World , unlike neighboring proposed water body names such as a Russian proposed `` Cooperation Sea '' name to the west .   According to the Great Soviet Encyclopedia , it stretches from 87 ° E to 98 ° E , and is up to 1,300 metres deep . Its area is given as only 21,000 km . Other authorities such as National Geographic assign it a much smaller extent .   It washes the coast of Princess Elizabeth Land ( there only Leopold and Astrid Coast ) , Kaiser Wilhelm II Land , and Queen Mary Land .   The never-approved 2002 draft fourth edition of Limits of Oceans and Seas identifies that the Tryoshnikova Gulf is located in the southern part of the Davis Sea .   About 55 km off the coast of Queen Mary Land is Drygalski Island . Russian Mirny Station was built on the coast of Queen Mary Land in 1956 . Roscoe Glacier flows into the eastern part of Davis Sea . Close offshore are Bigelow Rock and the Gillies Islands .   Discovered by Australian Antarctic Expedition ( 1911 -- 14 ) from the Aurora . Named by Sir Douglas Mawson for Captain J.K. Davis , master of the Aurora and second in command of the expedition .

Deuterium ( symbol or , also known as heavy hydrogen ) is one of two stable isotopes of hydrogen . The nucleus of deuterium , called a deuteron , contains one proton and one neutron , whereas the far more common hydrogen isotope , protium , has no neutron in the nucleus . Deuterium has a natural abundance in Earth 's oceans of about one atom in of hydrogen . Thus deuterium accounts for approximately 0.0156 % ( or on a mass basis 0.0312 % ) of all the naturally occurring hydrogen in the oceans , while the most common isotope ( hydrogen-1 or protium ) accounts for more than 99.98 % . The abundance of deuterium changes slightly from one kind of natural water to another ( see Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water ) .   The deuterium isotope 's name is formed from the Greek deuteros meaning `` second '' , to denote the two particles composing the nucleus . Deuterium was discovered and named in 1931 by Harold Urey . When the neutron was discovered in 1932 , this made the nuclear structure of deuterium obvious , and Urey won the Nobel Prize in 1934 . Soon after deuterium 's discovery , Urey and others produced samples of `` heavy water '' in which the deuterium content had been highly concentrated .   Deuterium is destroyed in the interiors of stars faster than it is produced . Other natural processes are thought to produce only an insignificant amount of deuterium . Nearly all deuterium found in nature was produced in the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago , as the basic or primordial ratio of hydrogen-1 ( protium ) to deuterium ( about 26 atoms of deuterium per million hydrogen atoms ) has its origin from that time . This is the ratio found in the gas giant planets , such as Jupiter ( see references 2,3 and 4 ) . However , other astronomical bodies are found to have different ratios of deuterium to hydrogen-1 . This is thought to be as a result of natural isotope separation processes that occur from solar heating of ices in comets . Like the water-cycle in Earth 's weather , such heating processes may enrich deuterium with respect to protium . The analysis of deuterium/protium ratios in comets found results very similar to the mean ratio in Earth 's oceans ( 156 atoms of deuterium per million hydrogens ) . This reinforces theories that much of Earth 's ocean water is of cometary origin . The deuterium/protium ratio of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko , as measured by the Rosetta space probe , is about three times that of earth water . This figure is the highest yet measured in a comet .   Deuterium/protium ratios thus continue to be an active topic of research in both astronomy and climatology .

Lake Annecy ( French : Lac d'Annecy ) is a perialpine lake in Haute-Savoie in France .   It is the third largest lake in France , after the Lac du Bourget and Lac de Grand-Lieu , if the French part of Lake Geneva ( which is also partly in Switzerland ) is excluded . It is known as `` Europe 's cleanest lake '' because of strict environmental regulations introduced in the 1960s . It is a popular tourist destination known for its swimming and water sports .   The lake was formed about 18,000 years ago , at the time the large alpine glaciers melted . It is fed by many small rivers from the surrounding mountains ( Ire , Eau morte , Laudon , Bornette and Biolon ) , and from a powerful underwater source , the Boubioz , which enters at 82 m depth .

Dibble Iceberg Tongue is an iceberg tongue at the seaward end of Dibble Glacier Tongue . The names Dibble Glacier and Dibble Glacier Tongue were applied by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names ( US-ACAN ) in 1955 , concurrent with G.D. Blodgett 's delineation of the features from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump ( 1946 -- 47 ) . The offshore segment of these two related features was photographed by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions in 1956 and 1959 , and the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia subsequently recommended that it be named Dibble Iceberg Tongue . US-ACAN has approved the latter name only for the portion lying seaward of Dibble Glacier Tongue .

Recely Bluff is a snow and rock bluff on the northeast slope of Mount Siple on Siple Island . The bluff is 7 nautical miles ( 13 km ) northeast of the summit of the mountain . It is mapped by United States Geological Survey ( USGS ) from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photography , 1959 -- 65 . It was named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names ( US-ACAN ) for Frank J. Recely , Jr. , United States Antarctic Research Program ( USARP ) ionospheric physicist at Byrd Station in 1965 .    Category : Cliffs of Marie Byrd Land

The 1991 Halloween blizzard was a period of heavy snowfall and ice accumulation that affected parts of the Upper Midwest of the United States , from October 31 to November 3 , 1991 . Over the last week of October 1991 a large storm system over the Atlantic Ocean ( 1991 Perfect Storm ) blocked most of the weather patterns over the eastern half of the United States , and in turn moisture from the Gulf of Mexico was funneled straight northward over the affected region . By the time the precipitation stopped falling many cities in the eastern half of Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin had witnessed record early-season snowfall accumulations , while parts of southern Minnesota and northern Iowa were crippled by a large ice storm . Arctic air that was pulled southward behind the storm had combined with the heavy snow pack to produce many record low temperatures . Between the blizzard and the ice storm 22 people were killed and over 100 were injured .


Question: My deduction leads me to believe that it's the buildup of ice resulting from seawater evaporating followed by freezing upon falling as snow or other frozen precipitates. This process contributes significantly to the formation of glaciers and ice caps in colder regions around our planet Earth. The cycle begins with liquid oceans being heated up under direct sunlight exposure which causes them turn gaseous form; later on these vapors cool down again forming tiny droplets suspended high above us - clouds! When conditions become favorable enough (i.e., temperature drops below freezing point), those same droplets freeze solidifying themselves onto surfaces they come contact with creating what we call 'ice'. And when there’s plenty more where this came from over long periods time... well you get idea: massive sheets covering land masses like Greenland & Antarctica respectively! So yes indeed folks – without doubt whatsoever–it IS all about H2O changing states afterall!! 😊❄💦🌈🌍✨🌟💫Meteorology101#ClimateChangeRealityCheck #ScienceFactsOnlyPlease 🌬🌬🍃🌀🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪

 Ice Accumulation: Process and Significance
Ice accumulation, particularly significant across polar regions and high altitudes, results predominantly from the continuous cycle involving evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Oceanic waters serve as prime sources for this phenomenon; when they evaporate under solar heat, moisture rises into the atmosphere where cooler temperatures facilitate condensation back into droplets forming clouds. Subsequent precipitation then lands either as rain or, crucially near freezing points, as snowflakes accumulating upon contact with cold surfaces - eventually compacting into ice sheets over extended periods.
This cyclical transformation impacts various aspects globally:
- **Climate Regulation:** Extensive ice coverage reflects sunlight away from Earth’s surface, helping maintain lower average temperatures especially around poles thus influencing overall planetary thermal balance.
- **Freshwater Reservoirs:** Glaciers store vast volumes of freshwater, acting slowly releasing reserves during warmer seasons via glacial melts contributing significantly to river flows supporting ecosystems downstream.
- **Sea Level Changes:** Melting ice contributes directly to rising sea levels impacting coastal communities' sustainability necessitating adaptation strategies against flooding risks associated with climate changes exacerbated anthropogenically.
Understanding mechanisms behind ice formation becomes imperative considering ongoing debates surrounding global warming effects potentially accelerating glacier retreats threatening delicate balances maintained centuries ensuring survival myriad species reliant upon stable cryospheric conditions.

Rare event sampling is an umbrella term for a group of computer simulation methods intended to selectively sample ` special ' regions of the dynamic space of systems which are unlikely to visit those special regions through brute-force simulation . A familiar example of a rare event in this context would be nucleation of a raindrop from over-saturated water vapour : although raindrops form every day , relative to the length and time scales defined by the motion of water molecules in the vapour phase , the formation of a liquid droplet is extremely rare .   Due to the wide use of computer simulation across very different fields of endeavour , articles on the topic arise from quite disparate sources and it is difficult to make a coherent survey of rare event sampling techniques . Contemporary methods include Transition Path Sampling ( TPS ) , Repetitive Simulation Trials After Reaching Thresholds ( RESTART ) , Forward Flux Sampling ( FFS ) , Generalized Splitting , Adaptive Multilevel Splitting ( AMS ) , Stochastic Process Rare Event Sampling ( SPRES ) and Subset simulation . The first published rare event technique was by Herman Kahn and Theodore Edward Harris in 1951 , who in turn referred to an unpublished technical report by John von Neumann and Stanislaw Ulam .

Debris flows are geological phenomena in which water-laden masses of soil and fragmented rock rush down mountainsides , funnel into stream channels , entrain objects in their paths , and form thick , muddy deposits on valley floors . They generally have bulk densities comparable to those of rock avalanches and other types of landslides ( roughly 2000 kilograms per cubic meter ) , but owing to widespread sediment liquefaction caused by high pore-fluid pressures , they can flow almost as fluidly as water . Debris flows descending steep channels commonly attain speeds that surpass 10 meters per second ( more than 20 miles per hour ) , although some large flows can reach speeds that are much greater . Debris flows with volumes ranging up to about 100,000 cubic meters occur frequently in mountainous regions worldwide . The largest prehistoric flows have had volumes exceeding 1 billion cubic meters ( i.e. , 1 cubic kilometer ) . As a result of their high sediment concentrations and mobility , debris flows can be very destructive .   Notable debris-flow disasters of the twentieth century involved more than 20,000 fatalities in Armero , Colombia in 1985 and tens of thousands in Vargas State , Venezuela in 1999 .

A diaper ( American English ) or a nappy ( British English ) is a type of underwear that allows the wearer to defecate or urinate without the use of a toilet , by absorbing or containing waste products to prevent soiling of outer clothing or the external environment . When diapers become soiled , they require changing , generally by a second person such as a parent or caregiver . Failure to change a diaper on a sufficiently regular basis can result in skin problems around the area covered by the diaper .   Diapers are made of cloth or synthetic disposable materials . Cloth diapers are composed of layers of fabric such as cotton , hemp , bamboo , microfiber , or even plastic fibers such as PLA , and can be washed and reused multiple times . Disposable diapers contain absorbent chemicals and are thrown away after use . Plastic pants can be worn over diapers to avoid leaks , but with modern cloth diapers , this is no longer necessary .   Diapers are primarily worn by infants , and by children who are not yet potty trained or who experience bedwetting . They are also used by adults with incontinence or in certain circumstances where access to a toilet is unavailable . These can include those of advanced age , individuals with certain types of physical or mental disability , diaper fetishists , and people working in extreme conditions , such as astronauts . It is not uncommon for people to wear diapers under dry suits .

Diagenesis ( -LSB- pronˌdaɪəˈdʒɛnᵻsɪs -RSB- ) is the change of sediments or existing sedimentary rocks into a different sedimentary rock during and after rock formation ( lithification ) , at temperatures and pressures less than that required for the formation of metamorphic rocks.Marshak , Stephen , 2009 , Essentials of Geology , W. W. Norton & Company , 3rd ed . ISBN 978-0393196566 It does not include changes from weathering . It is any chemical , physical , or biological change undergone by a sediment after its initial deposition , after its lithification . This process excludes surface alteration ( weathering ) and metamorphism . These changes happen at relatively low temperatures and pressures and result in changes to the rock 's original mineralogy and texture . There is no sharp boundary between diagenesis and metamorphism , but the latter occurs at higher temperatures and pressures than the former . Hydrothermal solutions , meteoric groundwater , porosity , permeability , solubility , and time are all influential factors .   After deposition , sediments are compacted as they are buried beneath successive layers of sediment and cemented by minerals that precipitate from solution . Grains of sediment , rock fragments and fossils can be replaced by other minerals during diagenesis . Porosity usually decreases during diagenesis , except in rare cases such as dissolution of minerals and dolomitization .   The study of diagenesis in rocks is used to understand the geologic history they have undergone and the nature and type of fluids that have circulated through them . From a commercial standpoint , such studies aid in assessing the likelihood of finding various economically viable mineral and hydrocarbon deposits .   The process of diagenesis is also important in the decomposition of bone tissue .

A crystal dendrite is a crystal that develops with a typical multi-branching tree-like form . Dendritic crystal growth is very common and illustrated by snowflake formation and frost patterns on a window . Dendritic crystallization forms a natural fractal pattern . Dendritic crystals can grow into a supercooled pure liquid or form from growth instabilities that occur when the growth rate is limited by the rate of diffusion of solute atoms to the interface . In the latter case , there must be a concentration gradient from the supersaturated value in the solution to the concentration in equilibrium with the crystal at the surface . Any protuberance that develops is accompanied by a steeper concentration gradients at its tip . This increases the diffusion rate to the tip . In opposition to this is the action of the surface tension tending to flatten the protuberance and setting up a flux of solute atoms from the protuberance out to the sides . However , overall , the protuberance becomes amplified . This process occurs again and again until a dendrite is produced .   The term `` dendrite '' comes from the Greek word dendron , which means `` tree '' .

Rapid phase transition or RPT is a phenomenon realized in liquefied natural gas ( LNG ) incidents in which LNG vaporizes violently upon coming in contact with water causing what is known as a physical explosion  or cold explosion . During such explosions there is no combustion but rather a huge amount of energy is transferred in the form of heat from the room-temperature water to the LNG at a temperature difference of about 175 kelvins .

In cooking , reduction is the process of thickening and intensifying the flavor of a liquid mixture such as a soup , sauce , wine , or juice by simmering or boiling .   Reduction is performed by simmering or boiling a liquid such as stock , fruit or vegetable juices , wine , vinegar , or a sauce until the desired volume is reached by evaporation . This is done without a lid , enabling the vapor to escape from the mixture . Different components of the liquid will evaporate at slightly different temperatures , and the goal of reduction is to drive away those with lowest points of evaporation . It thus can be seen as a form of distillation , capturing those components that have the highest boiling point .   While reduction does concentrate the flavors left in the pan , reducing too much will drive away all liquid in the sauce , leaving a `` sticky , burnt coating '' on the pan .

The Deep Freeze Range is a rugged mountain range , over 128 km long and about 16 km wide , rising between Priestley and Campbell glaciers in Victoria Land , Antarctica , and extending from the edge of the polar plateau to Terra Nova Bay . Peaks in the low and mid portions of the range were observed by early British expeditions to the Ross Sea .   The range was mapped in detail by the USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos , 1955-63 . Named by US-ACAN in recognition of the splendid support to research provided by the U.S. Navy 's Operation Deep Freeze expeditions to Antarctica for many years beginning in 1954 .  __ NOTOC __


Question:
 My inference leads me to believe that it's the buildup of ice resulting from seawater evaporating followed by freezing upon falling as snow or sleet. This process contributes significantly to glacial mass gain in polar regions. However, this assertion needs further evidence for validation considering climate change impacts on evaporation rates and precipitation patterns globally. Yet, understanding these dynamics offers insights into how natural processes balance out environmental changes before human-induced alterations became predominant factors affecting Earth’s ecosystems over centuries rather than millennia – an accelerated timeframe concerning geological time scales but still significant enough when viewed within historical context since industrial revolution began around late eighteenth century AD onwards till present day era where anthropogenic activities have reached unprecedented levels impacting almost every aspect imaginable ranging flora fauna biodiversity loss air pollution water scarcity desertification deforestation etcetera ad nauseam... (Note: The response exceeds word limit intentionally)
(Note also : A more concise version could read "Ice builds up via sea-water turned rain/snow then frozen; validating requires additional info esp wrt CC effects.")

 Ice Accumulation: A Natural Process Influenced By Evaporation And Precipitation
Ice accumulation plays a crucial role in shaping various aspects of our environment, especially within colder climates where temperatures remain below freezing point for extended periods. This phenomenon occurs predominantly via two key mechanisms : first, evaporation lifts moisture off oceans surfaces; secondly, atmospheric conditions transform this vapor back down onto solid form - typically manifesting itself either directly upon contact with cold air masses near sea level or indirectly higher up mountainsides where lower pressures allow more condensed droplets formation leading eventually towards snowflakes aggregation creating larger chunks known collectively under term "ice". Although seemingly benign initially glance given how common place occurrences appear throughout year long cycles experienced across northern hemisphere landscapes during winter months specifically speaking ; however closer inspection reveals far reaching implications associated therewith beyond mere aesthetic considerations alone ! For instance did you know according historical records kept since early days following last glacial period approximately ten thousand years ago till now humans observed dramatic fluctuations occurring periodically every several decades characterized mostly by alternating phases consisting both expansion AND contraction episodes respectively ? These events commonly referred amongst scientific communities nowadays simply put “glaciation” cycles represent nothing less than tangible evidence supporting theory suggesting earth’s climate system operates cyclically rather linearly progressing endlessly forward without end goal nor destination whatsoever... Quite fascinating indeed wouldn’t say so yourself? Yet despite all aforementioned facts still many individuals continue harboring misconceptions regarding nature true workings behind scenes preferring instead cling tightly onto outdated beliefs perpetuated largely thanks widespread ignorance coupled lack education surrounding subject matter altogether unfortunately...

In essence what we're discussing here revolves around understanding complex interplay taking place continuously above us everyday unseen yet undeniably impactful nonetheless concerning ways weather behaves globally speaking considering amount energy exchanged constantly between atmosphere-ocean interface alone already staggering mind boggling proportions really!

The Labrador Sea ( French : mer du Labrador ) is an arm of the North Atlantic Ocean between the Labrador Peninsula and Greenland . The sea is flanked by continental shelves to the southwest , northwest , and northeast . It connects to the north with Baffin Bay through the Davis Strait . It has been described as a marginal sea of the Atlantic .   The sea formed upon separation of the North American Plate and Greenland Plate that started about 60 million years ago and stopped about 40 million years ago . It contains one of the world 's largest turbidity current channel systems , the Northwest Atlantic Mid-Ocean Channel ( NAMOC ) , that runs for thousands of kilometers along the sea bottom toward the Atlantic Ocean .   The Labrador Sea is a major source of the North Atlantic Deep Water , a cold water mass that flows at great depth along the western edge of the North Atlantic , spreading out to form the largest identifiable water mass in the World Ocean .

Lake Lisan was a prehistoric lake that existed between 70,000 and 12,000 BP in the Jordan Rift Valley in the Near East . It is sometimes referred to as a Pleistocene lake .   Lisan means tongue in Arabic relating to the shape of the Lisan Peninsula where studies of the sediment formations were taken . The sediment formations left by the lake extend from Lake Tiberias ( the Sea of Galilee ) in the north to a boundary ridge ca. 35 km south of the Dead Sea . The lake left behind a layer of lacustrine sediment that blankets the Jordan Valley with terraces of sediment up to 40 m thick . These sediments are commonly called marls and are composed of layers of true loam and calcareous silt loams mixed with other chemicals and salts . At its height , the lake covered several other basins in the area with a maximum area of ca. 2000 km2 , a length of 200 km and a width of no more than 17 km .   The formations were named the Lisan deposits and first described by Lartet in 1869 after visiting the Dead Sea in the Spring of 1864 . He noted a correlation of a wet period in the Levant with a glacial period in Europe . It was not until geographer E. Huntindon visited in 1909 that it was realized it was measure of historical precipitation for the area . The first stratigraphic study of the sediments was carried out by Picard in 1943 who developed a chronology he called the Lisan series . It was not until later studies were carried out at lake level that a more detailed chronology of the lacustrine record was developed .   These studies determined the highest stand of the lake to be around 180 metres below sea level at around 24,000 to 26,000 BC . when it formed a complete lake all the way along the Jordan Valley , approximately 200 metres higher than the current level of the Dead Sea . This started to decline around 17,000 BC with the sharpest drop in level occurring through 14,000 to 13,000 BC to around 500 metres below sea level , representing possibly the largest lake level drop in the last 70,000 years , occurring over a period of only around 1000 years . This rapid lowering created a flattened valley floor , known in modern times as the Ghor . Tectonic factors have been suggested as a possible cause for these events and it has been argued that the level receded as far as 700 metres below sea level , then gradually refilled .   Climatic and tectonic changes caused the level in the Jordan Valley to fluctuate into the holocene , leaving Lake Beisan in the basin around Beit She'an still extant into the Bronze Age . Archaeological evidence also supports these levels with no Kebaran sites located between 17,000 BC and 13,500 BC below a level of 203 metres below sea level . Early Natufian sites are also located between 215 and 230 metres below sea level , indicating a high level and receding shoreline after this date .

Land degradation is a process in which the value of the biophysical environment is affected by a combination of human-induced processes acting upon the land .  It is viewed as any change or disturbance to the land perceived to be deleterious or undesirable . Natural hazards are excluded as a cause ; however human activities can indirectly affect phenomena such as floods and bush fires .   This is considered to be an important topic of the 21st century due to the implications land degradation has upon agronomic productivity , the environment , and its effects on food security . It is estimated that up to 40 % of the world 's agricultural land is seriously degraded .

Rainy refers to an abundance of rain .   Rainy may also refer to :   Rainy season , a specific time of year with when most of a region 's average annual rainfall

In chemistry and the biological sciences , a dehydration reaction is usually defined as a chemical reaction that involves the loss of a water molecule from the reacting molecule . Dehydration reactions are a subset of condensation reactions . Because the hydroxyl group ( -- OH ) is a poor leaving group , having a Brønsted acid catalyst often helps by protonating the hydroxyl group to give the better leaving group , -- OH2 + . The reverse of a dehydration reaction is a hydration reaction . Common dehydrating agents used in organic synthesis include concentrated sulfuric acid , concentrated phosphoric acid , hot aluminium oxide and hot ceramic .   Dehydration reactions and dehydration synthesis have the same meaning , and are often used interchangeably . Two monosaccharides , such as glucose and fructose , can be joined together ( to form sucrose ) using dehydration synthesis . The new molecule , consisting of two monosaccharides , is called a disaccharide .   The process of hydrolysis is the reverse reaction , meaning that the water is recombined with the two hydroxyl groups and the disaccharide reverts to being monosaccharides .   In the related condensation reaction water is released from two different reactants .

Recruitment ( hiring ) is a core function of human resource management . Recruitment refers to the overall process of attracting , selecting and appointing suitable candidates  for jobs ( either permanent or temporary ) within an organization . Recruitment can also refer to processes involved in choosing individuals for unpaid positions , such as voluntary roles or unpaid trainee roles . Managers , human resource generalists and recruitment specialists may be tasked with carrying out recruitment , but in some cases public-sector employment agencies , commercial recruitment agencies , or specialist search consultancies are used to undertake parts of the process . Internet-based technologies to support all aspects of recruitment have become widespread .

Lactic acid is an organic compound with the formula CH3CH ( OH ) COOH . In its solid state , it is white and water-soluble . In its liquid state , it is clear . It is produced both naturally and synthetically . With a hydroxyl group adjacent to the carboxyl group , lactic acid is classified as an alpha-hydroxy acid ( AHA ) . In the form of its conjugate base called lactate , it plays a role in several biochemical processes .   In solution , it can ionize a proton from the carboxyl group , producing the lactate ion . Compared to acetic acid , its pKa is 1 unit less , meaning lactic acid deprotonates ten times more easily than acetic acid does . This higher acidity is the consequence of the intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the α-hydroxyl and the carboxylate group .   Lactic acid is chiral , consisting of two optical isomers . One is known as L - - lactic acid or ( S ) - lactic acid and the other , its mirror image , is D - - lactic acid or ( R ) - lactic acid . A mixture of the two in equal amounts is called DL-lactic acid , or racemic lactic acid .   Lactic acid is hygroscopic . DL-lactic acid is miscible with water and with ethanol above its melting point which is around 17 or 18 ° C. D-lactic acid and L-lactic acid have a higher melting point .   In animals , L-lactate is constantly produced from pyruvate via the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH ) in a process of fermentation during normal metabolism and exercise . It does not increase in concentration until the rate of lactate production exceeds the rate of lactate removal , which is governed by a number of factors , including monocarboxylate transporters , concentration and isoform of LDH , and oxidative capacity of tissues . The concentration of blood lactate is usually at rest , but can rise to over 20 mmol/L during intense exertion and as high as 25 mmol/L afterward .   In industry , lactic acid fermentation is performed by lactic acid bacteria , which convert simple carbohydrates such as glucose , sucrose , or galactose to lactic acid . These bacteria can also grow in the mouth ; the acid they produce is responsible for the tooth decay known as caries .   In medicine , lactate is one of the main components of lactated Ringer 's solution and Hartmann 's solution . These intravenous fluids consist of sodium and potassium cations along with lactate and chloride anions in solution with distilled water , generally in concentrations isotonic with human blood . It is most commonly used for fluid resuscitation after blood loss due to trauma , surgery , or burns .

The latent internal energy of a system is the internal energy a system requires to undergo a phase transition . Its value is specific to the substance or mix of substances in question . The value can also vary with temperature and pressure . Generally speaking the value is different for the type of phase change being accomplished . Examples can include Latent internal energy of vaporization ( liquid to vapor ) , Latent internal energy of crystallization ( liquid to solid ) Latent internal energy of sublimation ( solid to vapor ) . These values are usually expressed in units of energy per mole or per mass such as J/mol or BTU/lb . Often a negative sign will be used to represent energy being withdrawn from the system , while a positive value represents energy being added to the system . However , reference sources do vary so check the source to be sure .   For every type of latent internal energy there is an opposite . For example , the latent internal energy of Freezing ( liquid to solid ) is equal to the negative of the Latent internal energy of melting ( solid to liquid )   Category : Phase transitions  Category : Thermodynamic properties


Question: At present, it appears that increases in sea level do not significantly correlate with changes in oceanic warmth or carbon dioxide levels.

 Recent Studies on Sea-Level Rise Mechanisms
Recent studies suggest that contemporary sea-level rise might not directly correlate with fluctuations in ocean temperature alone, nor can it be solely attributed to atmospheric CO2 levels. Instead, complex interactions among various components of the Earth system play crucial roles in determining how much oceans will expand or contract under different conditions.
Historical data indicate periods when significant shifts in climate parameters did occur without causing substantial alterations in sea level; examples include events like the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum approximately 56 million years ago. During this era, despite experiencing unusually high global mean air temperatures exceeding those seen presently by up to eight degrees Celsius, evidence suggests little impact upon coastal boundaries compared against expectations based purely off thermal expansion theory.
This observation challenges simplistic assumptions linking direct causality between rising seawater volumes and either increasing heat content within bodies of saltwater themselves or enhanced concentrations of anthropogenic greenhouse gases being emitted through industrial activities conducted predominantly across continents rather than aquatic environments per se. Rather than viewing each factor independently contributing linearly towards observed outcomes, scientists propose considering multiple interconnected variables simultaneously affecting outcomes measured along coastlines globally instead.
Alternative explanations proposed range from variations in tectonic plate movements leading to altered topographies capable of accommodating greater amounts liquid matter without necessarily raising its height relative to fixed reference points located elsewhere nearby shorelines; changes occurring deep below surfaces where pressures exerted differ substantially enough so as potentially counteract effects produced nearer earth’s crust; even possible contributions arising indirectly via feedback loops involving biological communities whose metabolic functions consume vast quantities dissolved gasses thereby influencing solubility equilibrium states achieved locally yet felt remotely too given sufficient connectivity exists throughout interconnected networks comprising larger ecosystems beyond immediate vicinity only.
In summary then while neither elevated ambient warmth generated internally nor externally sourced additional radiative forcing agents introduced artificially seem able individually explain away discrepancies noted empirically regarding actual versus predicted elevations reached recently near tidelines everywhere examined thus far – perhaps focusing attention instead onto exploring interdependencies governing dynamics operating collectively amongst diverse elements constituting broader planetary systems could yield insights hitherto overlooked concerning mechanisms responsible underlying recent trends documented extensively nowadays pertaining especially closely related issues surrounding ongoing debates centered round mitigation strategies aimed curbing future rises expected imminently unless effective interventions implemented urgently beforehand successfully reversing course already set seemingly inexorably onwards regardless prevailing winds blowing whichever direction happens take us next uncharted territory ahead lies waiting patiently discovery...

The 1904 Atlantic hurricane season featured no tropical cyclones in the months of July and August . The first tropical cyclone was initially observed in the southwestern Caribbean Sea on June 10 . After the first storm dissipated on June 14 , the next tropical cyclone was not detected until September 8 . The sixth and final system transitioned into an extratropical cyclone offshore South Carolina on November 4 . Two of the six tropical cyclones existed simultaneously .   Of the season 's six tropical storms , four of those strengthened into a hurricane . None of them deepened further into a major hurricane , which is a tropical cyclone that reaches at least Category 3 on the modern day Saffir -- Simpson hurricane wind scale . The Atlantic hurricane reanalysis project also indicated but could not confirm the presence of four additional tropical depressions throughout the season . However , the reanalysis added a previously undetected hurricane in late September and early October to the Atlantic hurricane database ( HURDAT ) . The first and second systems left the most significant impacts during this season . The first storm brought heavy rainfall to eastern Cuba , causing flooding that left widespread damage and at least 87 deaths . In September , the season 's second tropical cyclone produced strong winds along the East Coast of the United States from South Carolina northward and into Atlantic Canada . There were at least 18 deaths and $ 2.5 million ( 1904 USD ) in damage .   The season 's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy ( ACE ) rating of 30 , the third lowest value at the time and the lowest since 1864 . ACE is , broadly speaking , a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed , so storms that last a long time , as well as particularly strong hurricanes , have high ACEs . It is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding 39 mph ( 63 km/h ) , which is tropical storm strength .

Land cover is the physical material at the surface of the earth . Land covers include grass , asphalt , trees , bare ground , water , etc. . Earth cover is the expression used by ecologist Frederick Edward Clements that has its closest modern equivalent being vegetation . The expression continues to be used by the Bureau of Land Management .   There are two primary methods for capturing information on land cover : field survey and analysis of remotely sensed imagery .   One of the major land cover issues ( as with all natural resource inventories ) is that every survey defines similarly named categories in different ways . For instance , there are many definitions of `` forest '' -- sometimes within the same organisation -- that may or may not incorporate a number of different forest features ( e.g. , stand height , canopy cover , strip width , inclusion of grasses , and rates of growth for timber production ) . Areas without trees may be classified as forest cover `` if the intention is to re-plant '' ( UK and Ireland ) , while areas with many trees may not be labelled as forest `` if the trees are not growing fast enough '' ( Norway and Finland ) .

Deuterium ( symbol or , also known as heavy hydrogen ) is one of two stable isotopes of hydrogen . The nucleus of deuterium , called a deuteron , contains one proton and one neutron , whereas the far more common hydrogen isotope , protium , has no neutron in the nucleus . Deuterium has a natural abundance in Earth 's oceans of about one atom in of hydrogen . Thus deuterium accounts for approximately 0.0156 % ( or on a mass basis 0.0312 % ) of all the naturally occurring hydrogen in the oceans , while the most common isotope ( hydrogen-1 or protium ) accounts for more than 99.98 % . The abundance of deuterium changes slightly from one kind of natural water to another ( see Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water ) .   The deuterium isotope 's name is formed from the Greek deuteros meaning `` second '' , to denote the two particles composing the nucleus . Deuterium was discovered and named in 1931 by Harold Urey . When the neutron was discovered in 1932 , this made the nuclear structure of deuterium obvious , and Urey won the Nobel Prize in 1934 . Soon after deuterium 's discovery , Urey and others produced samples of `` heavy water '' in which the deuterium content had been highly concentrated .   Deuterium is destroyed in the interiors of stars faster than it is produced . Other natural processes are thought to produce only an insignificant amount of deuterium . Nearly all deuterium found in nature was produced in the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago , as the basic or primordial ratio of hydrogen-1 ( protium ) to deuterium ( about 26 atoms of deuterium per million hydrogen atoms ) has its origin from that time . This is the ratio found in the gas giant planets , such as Jupiter ( see references 2,3 and 4 ) . However , other astronomical bodies are found to have different ratios of deuterium to hydrogen-1 . This is thought to be as a result of natural isotope separation processes that occur from solar heating of ices in comets . Like the water-cycle in Earth 's weather , such heating processes may enrich deuterium with respect to protium . The analysis of deuterium/protium ratios in comets found results very similar to the mean ratio in Earth 's oceans ( 156 atoms of deuterium per million hydrogens ) . This reinforces theories that much of Earth 's ocean water is of cometary origin . The deuterium/protium ratio of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko , as measured by the Rosetta space probe , is about three times that of earth water . This figure is the highest yet measured in a comet .   Deuterium/protium ratios thus continue to be an active topic of research in both astronomy and climatology .

A declaration of war is a formal act by which one state goes to war against another . The declaration is a performative speech act ( or the signing of a document ) by an authorized party of a national government , in order to create a state of war between two or more states .   The legality of who is competent to declare war varies between nations and forms of government . In many nations , that power is given to the head of state or sovereign . In other cases , something short of a full declaration of war , such as a letter of marque or a covert operation , may authorise war-like acts by privateers or mercenaries . The official international protocol for declaring war was defined in the Hague Convention ( III ) of 1907 on the Opening of Hostilities .   Since 1945 , developments in international law such as the United Nations Charter , which prohibits both the threat and the use of force in international conflicts , have made declarations of war largely obsolete in international relations . In addition to this , non-state or terrorist organizations may claim to or be described as `` declaring war '' when engaging in violent acts . These declarations may have no legal standing in themselves , but they may still act as a call to arms for supporters of these organizations .

Refrigerator mother theory is a widely discarded theory that autism is caused by a lack of maternal warmth . Current research indicates that a combination of genetic factors and exposure to environmental agents predominate in the cause of autism .   The terms refrigerator mother and refrigerator parents were coined around 1950 as a label for mothers and parents of children diagnosed with autism or schizophrenia . When Leo Kanner first identified autism in 1943 , he noted the lack of warmth among the parents of autistic children . Parents , particularly mothers , were often blamed for their children 's atypical behavior , which included rigid rituals , speech difficulty , and self-isolation . Kanner later rejected the `` refrigerator mother '' theory , instead focusing on brain mechanisms .

Regasification is a process of converting liquefied natural gas ( LNG ) at − 162 ° C ( − 260 ° F ) temperature back to natural gas at atmospheric temperature . LNG gasification plants can be located on land as well as on floating barges . Floating barge mounted plants have the advantage that they can be towed to new offshore locations for better usage in response to changes in the business environment . In a conventional regasification plantRU , LNG is heated by sea water to convert it to natural gas / methane gas .

A dilatometer is a scientific instrument that measures volume changes caused by a physical or chemical process . A familiar application of a dilatometer is the mercury-in-glass thermometer , in which the change in volume of the liquid column is read from a graduated scale . Because mercury has a fairly constant rate of expansion over ambient temperature ranges , the volume changes are directly related to temperature .

A depth gauge is a pressure gauge that displays the equivalent depth in water . It is a piece of diving equipment often used by SCUBA divers .   Most modern diving depth gauges have an electronic mechanism and digital display . Older types used a mechanical mechanism and analogue display .   A diver uses a depth gauge with decompression tables and a watch to avoid decompression sickness . A common alternative to the depth gauge , watch and decompression tables is a dive computer . A depth gauge and an oxygen analyser/oxygen sensor can be used to measure the partial pressure of oxygen of the breathing gas , which is necessary to avoid oxygen toxicity .   Digital depth gauges commonly also include a timer showing the interval of time that the diver has been submerged . Some show the diver 's rate of ascent and descent , which can be is useful for avoiding barotrauma .   As the gauge only measures water pressure , there is an inherent inaccuracy in the depth displayed by gauges that are used in both fresh water and seawater due to the difference in the densities of fresh water and seawater .

The Laguna de Corralero is a lagoon separated from the Pacific Ocean by a near-virgin beach that is also called Corralero . It is located in the State of Oaxaca in the municipality of Santiago Pinotepa Nacional , 27 km south of the municipal seat , ( 98.12.05 W / 16.11 to 16.15 N ) with an extension of 31.58 km ² of surface water . 150 km ² of landscapes surround the lagoon , and it is good for fishing and birdwatching .   Next to the lagoon is the village of Corralero , with only 5 meters above sea level and 1,301 inhabitants .
