Antarctica! Choice 2

In Bromirski’s research on Ross Ice Shelf Vibrations, he talks about gravity waves and their effect on waves and then their effect onto the Ross Ice Shelf. Gravity waves can sometimes be changed into free waves which make swells in the water that hit the ice shelf and create stress.

These waves make vibrations which can relate to the arts and sciences, by recording the different vibrations you can tell the season. An ice free summer has small icebergs and during the colder winters there are many more floating icebergs and that buffers the waves so that there are less vibrations hitting the ice shelf. These vibrations are measured in seismic measurements. This article makes me think of when you’re in a pool and you make waves and them getting so big they crash over the side but does not create any question for me to research.
