T. Van Richthofen writes in his "Letters" of the earliest times in the history of our earth, when probably the entire east and north Asia were under the sea.

T。 Van Richthofen &书信&中的一段会让我们对庐山的地质结构有所了解--在最远古地球上，整个亚洲的东部和北部还深藏于海底，经过一个漫长的古生代，才慢慢从海底浮出，在石灰纪后期，中国从海底延伸出来的地方变得很干燥，而沉淀在深海不同区域的白色矿床不断地伸出海面，再没有沉入海底，也没有任何证据表明中国的任何一座山曾在侏罗纪、白奎纪和第三纪再一次沉人海面。

Detection of a human cause of warming at both ends of the earth also strengthens a need to understand ice sheets on Antarctica and Greenland that would raise world sea levels by about 70 meters (230 ft) if they all melted, they said.

TO SHOW that you are up to speed on global warming, you need to know your Rio summit from your Kyoto protocol; your Greenland pump from your carbon sink; and your Harald Sverdrup (a Norwegian oceanographer, who measured sea currents) from your Bjorn Lomborg (a Danish controversialist, who annoys greens).

为了显示你对全球变暖的速度有所关心，你需要能够了解和分辨京都议定书和里约热内陆地球峰会，格陵兰泵和二氧化碳吸收器，还有Harald Sverdrup（挪威海洋学家，从事海洋流测算工作）和Bjorn Lomborg（一位对环境保护持有不同见解的丹麦人，他的主张让绿色主义者极为不爽）。

In 1958, International Geophysical Year, expeditions were made to the poles in order to again assess the problem of the Germans, as well as the threat from aliens of different character that were detected as coming from inside the Earth.
