Die durch Gesteins-Tropfen an der Unterseite der antarktischen Platte verursachte Kontinentalhebung hob die Landmasse über einen Kipppunkt hinaus, ab dem Eis wachsen und bestehen bleiben konnte.

Why Antarctica became glaciated ∼34 million years ago (Ma) remains debated, as relatively warm climates and sea temperatures appear inconsistent with ice sheet formation. Although a critical decline i...

Continental uplift, caused by drips at the underside of the Antarctic plate, elevated the landmass above a tipping point where ice could grow and remain.

New solutions to two interlinked mysteries reveal how and why the Antarctic’s enormous ice sheet formed.

The mantle upwelling beneath the Afar rift may be influenced by tectonic processes in the overriding lithospheric plates that shape the distribution of both the compositional heterogeneities and abundance of melt, according to a geochemical and statistical study of volcanic samples.

"The plume is pulsing," said Earth Science professor Tom Gernon of the University of Southampton.
