10 Strange and Surreal Sounds Captured by Scientists

10 glacier melts As global temperatures rise, scientists need to know how quickly glaciers will melt, which can help with tasks such as predicting sea level rise. Traditionally, photography and satellite imagery have been used for this purpose, but these days scientists are using hydrophones, underwater microphones, to listen to glaciers. You can ask if Apparently melting glaciers sound like firecrackers and fried bacon! The popping sound is made when bubbles jump into the water. The goal is to count the ratio of bursting bubbles to the number of bubbles in the glacier to know how fast the glacier is melting. This research is much more important than it sounds on the surface. Rising sea levels could have devastating effects on hundreds of millions of people around the world.
