An Antarctic Glacier Could Have Doomed Within Ten Years

With climate change, the global epidemic and the economic problems in our country, we are now desperately waiting to hear good and happy news. However, during this bad course, scientists also ‘could end the world’ shared that a glacier is at risk of collapse. Researchers in Antarctica, also known as the ‘Doomsday Glacier’ ‘Thwaites Glacier’events on Earth since the asteroid that destroyed the dinosaurs. could be the biggest disaster states.

One of the features that make the glacier dangerous is its gigantic size. Researchers, UK size states that this glacier could collapse completely within ten years. If this happens, it is predicted that the events that will lead the world to disaster will come one after another. Thwaites, the world’s largest glacier, if it collapses alone ocean level 60 cm can raise. If he takes the glaciers around him with him at the time of collapse, this level will be reached. up to 3 meters is estimated. According to experts, this means apocalypse for the world.

Expected to collapse by 2030:

Perhaps the seriousness of the situation can be explained more clearly with the following information shared: since 1900 at ocean level only 30cmAlthough there is an increase of . According to experts, an increase of 3 meters, Can regenerate the world map. The International Thwaites Glacier Association states that there are three factors that will trigger the collapse of the ‘Doomsday Glacier’ by 2030.

Glaciologist Erin Pettit states that the part of the glacier that comes into contact with the ocean continues to melt as a result of increasing temperatures and at the same time begins to break away from its bed under the water. Pettit states that even before the glacier breaks completely, it will begin to fall apart during this process. On the other hand, some researchers think that these fragments, which are shattered and spilled, will prevent the glacier from collapsing completely. Whether the Catastrophic Glacier will truly bring ‘disaster’ although not certain According to scientists, the fact that cracks of several kilometers continue to form in the glacier each year does not bode well.
