Topic Reading-Vol.1614-9/11/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Surface water shifting around the Earth
Very interesting, yet arguable changes were observed on the surface of our planet. Over the last 30 years, more land surface created than water cover that appeared on the land surface. It this good news or bad news?
Melting glacier and new dams created new water cover especially in inland area such as Tibetan Plateau, Myanmar and North Korea while water in the Aral Sea in Central Asia and Lake Mead near Las Vegas was lost. In the meantime, new land was created artificially along the coastlines in Arabian Peninsula and south eastern China.
It seems that human activities are really changing the environment.
Now, the extent of the changes was revealed. What about the impact on nature?
Enjoy reading and seeing the images of the changed surface of earth.
