Antarctic Moss - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Water for moss to grow
    - - further warming could completely change antarctica
        
        Instead of an icy wasteland it could become a moss continent
        
        The biology and landscapes could change quite drastically
- - - - At one point antarctica was a warm place
      - Fossil ferns
      - Pines
      - Ginkgoes
      - Have all been found within antarctica
      - These are from the cretacious era
        
        Meaning creatures and plants once lived, comfortable on its now icy surface
  - - - The stretch was the northernmost area
      - Meaning it would be the first o it's continent to display climate variation
- - - - Since then they have been recorded to grow aroundthree millimeters or more each year
      - Prior to the middle of the 20th century there were no reliable meteorological records
        
        This meansWeather trends and temperature cannot be compared to thattime
      - Moss growth and accumulation consistently trended upwards since the 1950s.
        
        The cause of this must be widespread because even remote sites experienced these chages.
