Climate Change Actually Is Moving Mountains

Climate Change Actually Is Moving Mountains

~!!!~The extent of that feedback loop is documented in a new study on the St// Elias Mountain Range, which is located along the the cost of northwest Canada and southeastern Alaska// The study, led by University of Cincinnati geologist Eva Enkelmann, was published in Geophysical Research Letters and also presented at the Geological Society of America*s recent annual meeting in Baltimore//

~!!!~**To understanding how mountain structures evolve through geologic time is no quick task because we are talking millions of years,** Enkelmann said in a press release// **There are two primary processes that result in the building and eroding of mountains and those processes are interacting//** The way a mountain range moves and behaves topographically can also change and affect its local climate by redirecting wind and precipitation// The repercussions of these changes can accelerate the erosion and tectonic seismic activity of that mountain range//
