The emergence of black seawater in the Arctic Ocean can quickly melt sea ice. What is this black seawater?

According to data from the American Research Center, in September 2020, the Arctic sea ice area began to decline sharply, and it has reached the second lowest data value since observation. The reason that has a huge impact on the Arctic Ocean's sea ice area is the black seawater that appears in the Arctic Ocean. This black sea water is extremely warm, and it melts the Arctic Ocean. In the current era of global warming, the Arctic climate continues to rise, the sea ice area has significantly reduced, and sea water levels have risen. This kind of black seawater is the methane gradually released after the Arctic permafrost melts, causing the seawater temperature to rise. This kind of warmer seawater is called black seawater.

Human production activities have had a serious impact on the earth's ecological environment. The continued deterioration of global climate warming has led to changes in the Arctic climate. The Arctic Ocean is the coldest ocean on earth, with sea ice area reaching millions of square kilometers. However, the current sea ice area in the Arctic Ocean has declined sharply, which is inseparable from climate warming. As temperatures in the Arctic rise, glaciers on land and in the ocean are melting. On the one hand, global warming causes the melting of glaciers, resulting in the release of methane; on the other hand, the release of methane reacts on seawater, and the rise in seawater temperature intensifies the melting of sea ice.

This mysterious black sea water is eroding the Arctic Ocean sea ice. As the glaciers melt, life in the Arctic has been greatly affected. The polar bear, the most typical representative, has been forced ashore. In addition to these creatures living in the Arctic, changes in the Arctic climate also have varying degrees of impact on humans around the world. Rising Arctic climate will increase the probability of extreme weather. As the world's largest cold source, rising temperatures and melting sea ice in the Arctic will bring severe cold weather to other regions.

Research has found that large amounts of methane are stored in the Arctic Ocean, and the melting of sea ice triggers the release of this methane. The methane flux in this sea area is already higher than that in other areas, and the increase in methane is also a major factor causing temperature rise. We must know that human beings have a shared destiny. We only have one home, the earth. Protecting the environment requires everyone to take action, otherwise it will ultimately be a disaster for the entire species.
