Distant planets can help us understand what will happen to our oceans
If we want to look to the future of the oceans, we must also understand what's going on on the other planets. Briefly, this is the theory espoused by Jaz Zalasiewicz and Mark Williams, from the Department of geology at the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom, who have just published the book "Ocean Worlds: The Story of seas on Earth and Other Planets".According to the authors, the existing water bodies under miles and miles of ice exist on other planets can give us clues about what will happen to our seas.The book explores the history of the Earth's oceans and what the new discoveries are telling us about his future. In addition to the futurism based on Planets, the book addresses the human impact in our ocean, overfishing and pollution, which endanger this precious resource.According to the authors, the world has changed so much that we are now in a new era, in which the consensus is real: the Anthropocene will seem very different to geologists of the future than it was before him."We know of possible oceans on Venus, and probably those on Mars, as well as the seas that are beneath the ice on the moons of Saturn and Jupiter, and the seas of the moon Titan. They tell us what may be the State of various Oceans of the Earth and how they may change over time, or disappear, "Williams explained to the Daily Telegraph.Foto: Kevin Dooley/Creative Commons
