Practice 04
The reading and listening materials have a debate on the cause of the Eocene warming. The writer comes up with three hypotheses, which are all contradicted by the following lecture.
Firstly, the writer claims that the warming might be caused by changes in the ocean currents. However, the speaker casts doubt on it by giving the computer model of the currents. It shows that even the currents started flowing in new directions, they could only transport relatively limited heat, which was much smaller than the heat needed to cause warming. As a result, the ocean current theory does not work.
Secondly, the author argues that the discovery of magnetic particles in a clay layer proves that the comet striking was the origin of the Eocene warming, while the lecture views this issue from an opposite angle. In accordance with the professor, there is a new finding proposing that the magnetic particles come from the primitive one-celled organisms, a kind of bacteria. If that is the case, the clay layer is not able to become the evidence of the comet striking, which means the comet theory collapses.
Thirdly, the passage states that the release of methane gave rise to the Eocene warming. In contrast, according to the professor, this claim does not hold water due to the problem of timing. After the start of methane escaping, it should take thousands of years for the gas to build up and create the greenhouse effect. Correspondingly, the Eocene warming should happen in thousands of years after the escape of methane, but the geological data indicates that they appeared at the same time. So, the small accumulation of methane could not form the warming.
To sum up, the writer’s statements are totally refuted by the professor, and more conceivable theory is needed to explain the Eocene warming.
