What Is Ice?

Learn from NASA scientists about two forms of water (liquid and solid), and about the special properties of ice that are important to Earth’s life and climate, in this video from NASA eClips. Ice can be found in bodies of water across the planet. In the polar regions, ice that is present all year lo

Melting ice in Greenland

Greenland's ice sheet consists of about 2.7 million gigatons of ice. Until 1990, the ice mass remained about the same. Since the turn of the millennium, Greenland has been steadily losing ice to the sea. Author: 3sat/nano/mobyDOK/Alexander Lahl/Max Mönch/Jean Schablin/Robert Coellen/Mirko Tribanek/

Why is the ice shelf melting?

The Antarctic ice sheet is the world's largest permanently iced area. If the sea warms by only 0.5 degrees, the ice shelf melts from below and breaks at the edges.

Climate Archive Ice Lab

Ice cores from Antarctica are a kind of climate archive. They provide information about the contents of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere thousands of years ago. Author: By ZDF/Terra X/Group 5/Luise Wagner, Jonas Sichert Dubbing: alugha Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/TerraX

Formed by ice: The North German Plain

Southern and Northern Germany are topographically very different. But why is the North German Plain so flat? It was shaped by glacial masses during the last two ice ages. Autor: ZDF/Terra X/K22/C. Eppelmann/E. Frank/S. Engel/Kawom/M. Heß Translation and dubbing: alugha Click here to see more vide

Fluid Crystallized Intelligence

There are probably two types of intelligence. Fluid intelligence is your ability to think quickly. It relies on the ability to maintain attention and benefits from a strong working memory. Crystalline intelligence is the ability to apply knowledge from previous learning processes that has been store

Possible Ice Volcano on Titan

Learn how features derived from Cassini radar data indicate a possible ice volcano on Saturn's moon Titan in this video from NASA. Learn about Sotra Facula, a possible cryovolcano (ice volcano) on Saturn's moon Titan. Volcanologist Rosaly Lopes explains how topographic maps derived from Cassini rada

Earth System: Ice and Global Warming

Scientific evidence strongly suggests that different regions on Earth do not respond equally to increased temperatures. Ice-covered regions appear to be particularly sensitive to even small changes in global temperature. This video segment adapted from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center details how

What Causes the Halo Phenomenon?

When ice crystals at high altitudes in cirrus clouds refract sunlight, a halo appears. But a classic halo is only visible when the light exits at an angle of 22 degrees. Autor: ZDF/Terra Xpress/Autorenkombinat/Birthe Heer/Sebastian Kerz/Tobias Schönke/Maximilian Heß Translation and dubbing: alugha
