The following Sunday, he told me, "Let's put away some money into a3 each week, and maybe we can go to Yankee Stadium this summer." I immediately washed out a jar and4 a label: YANKEE STADIUM FUND, 1960.

What is an icequake? The name might make you think of earthquakes. Both icequakes and earthquakes cause the ground to shake. They can both be measured by instruments called seismographs. The biggest difference between the two is how they're caused.

Many people already know what causes earthquakes. Icequakes, on the other hand, happen when water in the ground freezes (结冰) very quickly. When water freezes, it expands (膨胀). In some cases, it can even cause cracks (裂缝) in the ground above.

Experts there say Earth's coldest continent has had hundreds of thousands of them in recent years. They've also shared that most icequakes happen at night when temperatures drop.

Why is Antarctica experiencing so many icequakes? You might imagine the very low temperatures are the cause. Rising temperatures cause Antarctic ice to melt (融化). This makes water that can freeze again to cause an icequake.

What does an icequake feel like? Often, people don't feel them at all. But they can usually hear an icequake. It makes a loud pop.

Do icequakes only happen in Antarctica? No! They also take place in Greenland, most often near glaciers (冰川). You might also hear an icequake in Canada, as well as in the midwestern and northeastern United States.

A. But earthquakes can often cause fires.

B. In some ways, the two are very similar.

C. Icequakes are common across Antarctica.

D. Icequakes make a loud noise that's hard to miss.

E. Most of them are much weaker than earthquakes.

F. But they are actually on the rise because of warmer weather.

G. As groundwater becomes ice, it breaks up the soil and rocks around it.

In a study appearing recently in Science Advances, the researchers report that happenings of heavy snowfall and rain likely led to a series of earthquakes over the past several years in northern Japan. The study is the first to show that climate conditions could cause some quakes.

‌"We see that snowfall and other environmental loading at the surface affect the stress state underground, and the timing of heavy rainfall events is well - connected with the start of this earthquake crowds," says study author William Frank, an assistant professor in MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. ‌"So, climate obviously has an effect on the response of the solid earth, and part of that response is earthquakes."

The new study focuses on a series of ongoing earthquakes in Japan's Noto Peninsula. The team discovered that earthquake activity in the area is surprisingly in step with certain changes in underground pressure, and that those changes are influenced by seasonal patterns of snowfall and rainfall. The scientists doubt that this new connection between quakes and climate may not be unique to Japan and could play a role in shaking up other parts of the world. Looking to the future, they predict that the climate's influence on earthquakes could be more pronounced with global warming.

‌"If we're going into a climate that's changing, with more extreme rainfall events, and we expect a redistribution of water in the atmosphere, oceans, and continents, that will change how the Earth's crust (地壳) is loaded," Frank adds. ‌"That will have an effect for sure, and it's a link we could further explore."

Dr. Josh Shuart, the director of sport management at the Jack Welch College of Business & Technology at Sacred Heart University (Connecticut), told the Deseret News that the documentary showed something important for our modern society. Watching "The Last Dance" gave us something to look forward to during a time when there's nothing else going on, he said. "Why is it important and why did people watch it? The latter is simple: with the absence of live sports of any kind, it was probably the single most interesting thing on TV," Shuart said in an email to the Deseret News.

Michael Jordan matters for sports culture, too. Jordan set the standard when it came to connecting athletes to brands (品牌) and brands to athletes. Athletes can take care of their brand during their careers and even well into retirement (退休) . Shaquille O'Neal is an example, Shuart said. The Los Angeles Lakers legend — though highly celebrated for his basketball career — has built post-basketball success through business opportunities.

There might not have been too much new content in "The Last Dance" for sports fans who grew up in the Jordan era. But storytelling still provides a path for us to find happiness, Shuart said.

"Above all, even though we know the beginning, middle, and end, the storytelling provides amazing insight and results in a very interesting story," he said.
