Question: difference between superfluids and non-Newtonian fluids.
Plasma is more than a form of matter. It's a really awesome form of matter.
Not as awesome as a superfluid, though.
For habitable planets similar to Earth; if it has ice caps, is it normal for the average latitudes of ice cap expansion (how close the ice cap's edges get to the equator, on average) to be a wee bit different between the north and south hemispheres, at the same time?
Off the top of my head, I know continental arrangement and ocean currents may play a role, but may there be other factors as well?
Meteor Man said:Plus, I'm pretty sure it's harder for ice caps to advance over water than over land. Because Antarctica is completely surrounded by water, the ice caps don't advance as far as say the northern ice cap over Canada.

Eg, the northern cap averages as far south as say, 65° N, while the southern cap averages as far north as 62° S?

The genes relating to the energy centres of cells (mitochondria) are inherited from the mother, if I recall correctly.
In 1998, sea temperatures in some parts of the Great Barrier Reef were between 10C and 20C above normal temperatures for that period. Globally, the temperatures reached and the extents of bleaching at this time were the highest ever recorded. Aerial surveys of the Great Barrier Reef showed that 87 percent of inshore reefs surveyed were bleached to some extent while bleaching affected 28 percent of surveyed mid-shelf and offshore reefs.
Two severe coral bleaching events in 1998 and 2002 due to ocean warming also had "major detrimental impacts" on the central and northern parts of the reef, the study found, putting the impact at 10%.
It means the coral is dying. Healthy coral=vibrant colors. Dead coral=bone white.
