Wind farms can cause climate change

Wind farms can cause climate change

Wind farms can cause climate change, according to new research, that shows for the first time the new technology is already pushing up temperatures
Wind
Usually at night the air closer to the ground becomes colder when the sun goes down and the earth cools.
But on huge wind farms the motion of the turbines mixes the air higher in the atmosphere that is warmer, pushing up the overall temperature.
Satellite data over a large area in Texas,that is now covered by four of the world's largest wind farms, found that over a decade the local temperature went up by almost 1C as more turbines are built.
This could have long term effects on wildlife living in the immediate areas of larger wind farms.

It could also affect regional weather patterns as warmer areas affect the formation of cloud and even wind speeds.

29-rodrigo martinez gutierrez-WHY WE CAN’T TROW NUCLEAR WASTE TO A VOLCANO?

BY:

    RODRIGO MARTINEZ GUTIERREZ

Yes , all people thinks that if you throw something to a volcano , this item it would be absorbs and melts by the lava , but this thought is false with the nuclear waste.


                                     

Why? Because the lava of a volcano has a maximum of 1316 ºC and the nuclear waste needs a minimum of 1.855 ºC to be absorb and melt by the heat.

                                      

What would happen if we do that anyway? The container where the nuclear waste it will be molten , but the nuclear waste don't , it would stay
up ,  the solid lava , until anyone move it.


                                         

If this nuclear waste stay there until the volcano start the eruption  , it will be a very important , serious and dangerous problem . Because the magma is hotter than 1855 ºC , the temperature it is needed to nuclear waste be melted , this liquid nuclear waste join with the lava that go out of the erupted volcano , all the places near to the volcano will be radioactive for decades  , and the air polluted can go 10KM up, until the stratosphere.

Could a cocodrile survive in the Artic?

Really, a cocodrile could survive in the Artic.
The reason is that studies seem to suggest that cocodriles may have lived in higher than they currently reside latitudes today. So, 55 million years ago, the Artic climate was so warm and hot as Florida, and it abounded an animal very similar to the cocodrile: the Champsosaurus.

The task of determining how individual species not to mention ecosystems, will respond to this climate change is very difficult. In the same regions where they have been found remains of Champsosaurus fossils have appeared also his favorite food: turtles. Today´s cocodriles could feel comfortable in a warmer north, but only if proliferate dams and ecosystems necessary for their survival.

Cocodriles live in tropical climates for a reason. They are cold-blooded and cannot generate their own heat. Although there is a last obstacle, although the warm Artic air, there will still pretty ice in winter. The most aggressive climate nodels estimate that the ice caps will take thousands of years to disappear, so cocodriles will have to wait enough to move to the poles.

Do dogs sweat pon their tongue- Rocío mora

DO DOGS SWEAT ON THEIR TONGUE

Most of The people believe that the dog's tongue contains sweat glands, but this is not true. The dog's tongue and mouth are associated with many salivary glands that produce different forms of saliva. Some cooling takes place as the panting dog moves air across saliva-moistened surfaces of the mouth cavity. 

Excessive play on a hot day can lead to overheating (hyperthermia) and eventually to heat atroje. A dog's normal body temperature is within the range of 100.5 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. If his temperature rises to 105 or 106 degrees, he may suffer heat exhaustion. At 107 degrees, heat stroke can occur, with potentially catastrophic consequences. Heat stroke can cause brain damage and even death.

A dog that is overheated will act sluggishly, or perhaps confused. His gums and tongue may appear bright red, and he will be panting hard. The dog may vomit, collapse, have a seizure, and may go into a coma.  

overheated dog is a real emergency situation. Get him to a veterinarian immediately. If possible pour water from the garden hose on him to begin the cooling process. On the way to the veterinary clinic, cover him with cool wet towels or spritz him with cool water. Don't use ice-cold water.

Why is Earth´s rotation getting lower?




The Earth´s rotation turns more slowly, and not every day are the same length, producing speed variations for different reasons. The most influential is that the Moon by its gravitational effect and especially by tidal movements it causes is gradually slowing the speed of rotation of our planet at an average of approximately 55 nanoseconds per day.

There are other imbalances that advance or delay the Earth sporadically, in cases such as earthquakes, hurricanes and even thaws. For example, according to a further analysis of NASA, the Japanese earthquake that devastated Fukushima, produced several effects, the axis shifted 10 cm land, moved the Japanese island 2.4 meters and 1.6 microseconds accelerated rotation Earth globe.

But the greatest influence until today dynamic measurement corresponds to the earthquake that triggered the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, with an acceleration of 6.8 microseconds in the Earth's rotation.

For humanity today, we rely increasingly on technology and its accuracy is vital to maintain the accuracy and especially the coordination of time, for which we use 3 different temporal coordinates, UT1, the TAI and UTC is known that we know and handle, and 3 must be perfectly coordinated.
