Why does he not prevent them, or divert them away from where people are, or defuse them once they begin?” These questions doubtless are sincere, but they fail to take into consideration all the facts.
Why do earthquakes often happen around the Ring of Fire? Can volcanoes provide climate solutions? If so, how does it work? If not, why? Why does Earth have plate tectonics and continents? Why are igneous rocks useful? Why does a volcano erupt with baking soda and vinegar? Why are mountai...
Why do typhoons and earthquakes happen often in the Philippines? Located along the typhoon belt in the Pacific, the Philippines is visited by an average of 20 typhoons every year, five of which are destructive. Being situated in the “Pacific Ring of Fire” makes itvulnerable to frequent earth...
You have to be a bit lucky to capture such photos: you have to happen to catch both birds at the same time. When you usually catch five or fewer birds at a time, as we do, the chances that any two of them will be an informative comparison becomes small. Each of these pair photos...
“The peaks of volcanic activity correlate nicely with the amount of seafloor being recycled at the Tonga-Kermadec trench east of New Zealand,” Dr. Mather said. Taking this evidence Dr. Mather and his team have built a new model that unifies the observations of ...
Here's what will happen when SpaceX rocket crashes into the moon Watch the entire Beaver Moon lunar eclipse in 1 minute time-lapse China wants a piece of the moon. Here's how it plans to handle lunar samples. Israel Plans to Go Back to the Moon … And Stick the Landing This Time...
Why does earth bulge at the equator? What will happen to the convection currents in the mantle if the Earth's interior eventually cools down? From a plate tectonic perspective, how does the orogenic activity that occurred in the Cordilleran mobile belt during the Mesozoic...
Niall:Well, not on an aeroplane because then you'll be worried about the disasters that can happen when you're flying. I'm not sure what the appropriate place is, perhaps under the table in the foetal position by candlelight. I've never been able to read on beaches. I don't know wh...
neither is likely to happen soon, despite the claims of Stephen Hawking in his final book that an asteroid impact is the greatest threat to life on Earth. To argue that we should spend money on space missions for this reason, to create a backup for the human species, seems disingenuous. ...
Major explosive volcanic eruptions eject water vapor and sulfur dioxide into the lower stratosphere where they form aerosols or mists that reflect and scatter sunlight. Each major eruption causes cooling of approximately one-half degree Celsius, 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit, for two to four years. This sho...
