A team of researchers reconstructed a critical ocean current system — called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC — in computer models and found no evidence of long-term weakening over the past 60 years.

Earth, being 71% covered in water, is influenced by the ocean and its movements. In the Atlantic Ocean, a system of connected currents, called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), moves water throughout the world's oceans powered by a combination of winds and ocean density.

AFRICA is splitting apart at double the speed than scientists first thought. A 35-mile-long crack in Ethiopia’s desert, first discovered in 2005, has been widening by half an inch per year.

As this storm developed over the Atlantic it became energised by unusually warm ocean temperatures, caused by the impacts humans are having on the atmosphere.

In America, these feathered icons dot coastlines, lakeshores, and islands. Each offers a glimpse into history, and the views are simply stunning for a weekend adventure. Let me take you on a tour of some of the most beautiful lighthouses you can visit.
