advected to shallow levels, producing low P/T metamorphism. crustal extension (orange): crustal extension via normal faulting leads to advection of heat to shallow levels, followed by cooling to a normal thermal gradient. oceanic extension--mid-ocean ridges (red-orange): convection carries heat to very shallow levels, where 7-km thick oceanic crust forms; hydrothermal circulation produces low P/T metamorphism. ophiolite soles (red): are thrust zones beneath very hot oceanic lithosphere emplaced

running off from substantial ranches may have started blasts of marine green growth which may disturb the sea's biological community by creating monstrous sprouts in marine waters (Schwartz, 2005). Winds cause nitrogen and different supplements from the ocean bottom to surface, which advance the development of green growth called phytoplankton. Phytoplankton is a primary wellspring of nourishment for some living creatures in the marine waters. Farming toxins may have activated phytoplankton to deliver unsafe

At 10,000 years ago, these records then became isolated to Siberia, before just 4,000 years ago a rapid decline in mammoth numbers saw the last mammoths to belong to the small islands found in the Arctic Ocean, north of Siberia.1 Glacial lake sediment holds the evidence to past climatic conditions by radio-carbon dating the fossils and pollen particles preserved in the sediment and silt. Glacial evidence found in a kettle-hole provided a detailed picture
