New study sheds light on how 'Earth's thermostat' regulates climate
Updated : 1 day, 23 hours ago IST
Weathering is the process by which rocks, rain, and carbon dioxide help govern the Earth's climate over thousands of years, much like a thermostat. A new study performed by Penn State scientists could help us better understand how this thermostat reacts to temperature changes.
