These major climate zones exist thanks to Earth’s diverse landscapes. Each country is located at a specific latitude and elevation, next to either a particular landmass, body of water, or both.

Covering latitudes near 40 degrees in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, these zones exhibit accelerated ocean heat increases from 2000 to 2023. This research, led by Dr. Kevin Trenberth ...

Boston’s latitude sits at about 42 degrees north, placing the city along with all of Massachusetts — and all of New England — in the middle of that potentially vulnerable zone.

While links between temperature, humidity and the spread of coronaviruses have been closely studied in recent weeks, a new study suggests something else could be enhancing the spread of COVID-19: s… ...

More than 200 million years ago, mammals and reptiles lived in their own separate worlds on the supercontinent Pangaea, despite little geographical incentive to do so. Mammals lived in areas of ...

This study looks at the pace of change in climate zones as a function of global warming. Using the RCP8.5 scenario, the rate nearly doubles by the end of this century, and about 20% of all land ...
