Recently 100 pounds of fish rained down on a small Sri Lankan village. They came from a nearby river after being swooped up by a storm. The villagers collected the fish that were mostly still alive. They believe that the fish rain down after being taken up by strong updrafts in storms. The storm pulls up water and the fish and other animals go along with it. The villagers celebrate and annual festival in honor of the fish rains.

Are there other places where this happens?
DeleteYes there are other places around the world where this happens.
DeleteWhere I need names
DeleteThe article I read was about the ancient plants or maybe even Martian life sealed in meteor glass. In Argentina there is a soft soil that is perfect for meteor glass to form. Geologist found plants shreds dating 3 and 9 million years ago within the glass. Mars has the same similar dusty surface as the soil in Argentina. Scientists do not believe they will find life on mars but maybe microorganisms leave tell-tale signs of life.

DeleteDo you believe in aliens?
DeleteNot aliens exactly. The thought of organisms living on Mars is not out of the question.
DeleteMy article was about fish rain in Sri Lanka. More than 100 pounds of fish rained down and most of the fish stayed alive. Some places celebrate the fish rain. The fish are taken up by strong updrafts in storms. Another incident where fish rained down was in Japan and tadpoles rained down too.

How did the fish get in the air? did a storm pick them up or something?
DeleteThere is some evidence that a giant meteor has landed in Southern Alberta. Scientists have found a large ring that indicates a meteor landed. The crater was 8 kilometers wide long crater. They say that this impact could have been dangerous for people or animals near it. Most of the crater has disappeared due to erosion, but the roots are still there. It was said to have landed sometime within the last 70 million years. It was found by Paul Glombick in 2009.

DeleteWhat does the article mean by roots? Roots of what?
Deletei dont know like tree roots or something go graduate
DeleteSo it means the roots that were deep underground when the meteor impacted?
Deletei dont know dude i'm just trying to get an A in the class stop making it hard
Deleteprobably like the base of the crater or something idk
DeleteMy article is about the Ozone Pollution across the continental United States and how they will become more difficult to keep in check as temperatures rise. The detailed study shows that Americans face the risk of a 70 percent increase in unhealthy summertime ozone levels by 2050. This is because warmer temperatures and other changes in the atmosphere related to a changing climate, including higher atmosphere levels of methane, spur chemical reactions that lead to ozone.

DeleteThe article I read is discussing carbon dioxide levels in relation to future farming. The researchers are saying that the higher the co2 levels, the less nutritious the plants are becoming. The researchers looked at multiple plants such as wheat, rice, field peas, soybeans, maize and sorguhm growm in fields with atmospheric co2 levels. The teams simulated high co2 levels in open air fields byy using a system called FACE, wihc is, Free Air Concentration Enrichment. FACE pumps out and monitors ground level atmospheric co2. The end results were that the nutritional quality of the plants dropped as the amount of co2 elevated.

DeleteYou put 2 yy's on the word by. It's by but you put byy. What does carbon have to do with farming? Like how does it help farmers? (please answer in a 5 paragraph essay)
DeleteIts not carbon its carbon dioxide
Deletei didnt ask that
DeleteYes you did you said " what does carbon have to do with farming?"
DeleteOH MY GOD STEVEN WHAT THE HECK DOES CARBON DIOXIDE HAVE TO DO WITH FARMING
DeleteThats better... The higher the levels get the less nutrition is in the pants which isnt good
Deletefreaking finally thanks
Deleteyour welcome
Deletedont you dare reply to me again I'll steal your candy
Deletetoo bad i ate it all
Deleteexpected
DeleteThe article I read was about a fish rain. I never really heard of a fish rain until I read this article, but basically its a flood of fish. The fish rain occurred in a village in western Sri Lanka. To cause this it had to be a bad storm or something, which has to be very devastating because it was more than 100 pounds of fish. Fish rains have occurred many times around the globe and they always have a natural explanation. This article was a very interesting article to read.

Deletehttp://www.livescience.com/45390-tornado-track-arkansas-photo.html : The article I read was about Tornado that people have tracked in Arkansas. It was a EF4 tornado and it tore through Arkansas on April 27. It traveled through the towns Mayflower and Vilonia, Arkansas. The twister was between between 166 and 200 miles per hour (267 to 322 km/h). The Mayflower-Vilonia tornado was not the only twister spawned by the April 27 storm. Another tornado hit Quapaw, Oklahoma, that evening, killing one person before crossing the state line into Baxter Springs, Kansas.
ReplyDeleteAbout half of the surface warming that's helping shrink Greenland's glaciers is due to temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean, not greenhouse gases.The new findings could explain why Greenland and the Canadian Arctic are getting hotter more quickly than other regions of the planet.20 to 50 percent of the warming is due to anthropogenic [man-made] warming, and another 50 percent is natural.Tropical ocean temperatures have only been closely watched since 1979, with the advent of satellites, so the researchers don't know if the Pacific temperature cycle is short lived or if it has settled in for decades.If the Pacific temperature pattern shifts, warming in the Arctic could slow in coming decades. http://www.livescience.com/45415-greenland-warming-partial-natural-cause.html
ReplyDeleteDo you feel like this article was interesting?
DeleteTo be Honest mr.OkSoRaekwan I really did think that this article was interesting you should go read up on it
DeleteMy article was about carbon dioxide levels rising. The bad news in the article was that carbon dioxide levels rise this century, some grains and legumes will become significantly less nutritious than they are today. They used called FACE, which stands for Free Air Concentration Enrichment, to stimulate CO2 levels in open-air fields. FACE is a system that pumps out monitors and adjusts ground level atmospheric CO2 to stimulate future conditions. The experiment revealed that the nutritional quality of a number of the world's most important crop plants dropped in response to elevated Co2.

DeleteWhat else could you use FACE for Raekwan?
DeleteHow far did the carbon dioxide rise?
DeleteIt's approaching 400 parts per million, and it is expected to rise to 550 ppm by 2050
DeleteThe article I read was about how how changing cattle fields to forests is a new cheap way of tackling climate change and saving species threatened with extinction. Researchers found that farmers could make the same or more money by allowing their land to naturally regenerate.

What kind of cows was it
DeleteFarming cows

ReplyDeleteMy article was about the killing of a zoo animal in Copenhagen. The young giraffe was 3 years old and the zoo couldn't allow in-breeding. One morning the workers of the Copenhagen zoo killed the giraffe and butchered his body and fed him to the lions.
Why didn't they just let the giraffe go live in the wild?
DeleteBecause the odds where not in his favor he would if more than likely of died
DeleteThe article I read was about Endangered Species.I learned that animals who are picky about what they eat do not usually survive mass extinctions.Cougars will eat just about anything, and they survived the extinction event about 12,000 years ago.Saber-tooth cats were similar to African lions that chewed on both flesh and bone. I also learned that dental microwear texture is a process that uses a high-powered microscope to produce three-dimensional images of tooth surfaces. These images reveal tooth wear patterns that suggest how, and what, the animals often ate.

Afghanistan that entombed a village , killing hundreds of people and levaing700 families homeless in the mountains. much of Aab Bareek village in Badakhsham province was swolled on Friday by a a fast moving tide mud and rock that swept down the hillside and left almost no trace of 300 homes. Government officials said the currenty deatyh toll was at least 300 and warned it could rise by hundreds more after intials reports suggested that as many as 2,500 people mahy have died.
ReplyDeleteBillions of people rely on wheat, rice, soybeans and peas for the majority of their zinc and iron intake. But as carbon dioxide increases, those minerals decrease, according to two studies published today in Nature and eLife. Already a major health concern in the developing world, zinc and iron deficiency increases the risk of anemia, infections and even cognitive problems.
ReplyDeleteMy article is about how Half of Greenlands Warming tied to Natural Causes.About half of the surface warming that's helping shrink Greenland's glaciers is due to temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean, not greenhouse gases.Sea-surface temperatures in the Pacific are already known to influence global weather patterns at lower latitudes.are getting hotter more quickly than other regions of the planet. The feverish temperature rise has puzzled scientists: The most up-to-date climate models, such as those in the fifth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, fail to reproduce the rapid warming seen in the Arctic. However,human driven global warming is likely to outpace any natural cooling in coming decades, researchers said. So the role of natural climate variability on certain Arctic warming patterns might be reduced in the long run.
ReplyDeletemy artificial was about fighting global warming, which means if we dont fight New york and Tokyo or any city on the coast will one day be flooded if we dont make a change on our planet. some places will become hotter others will become cooler and more water will over run use. Greenland and Antarctica are already loosing ice and scientist think between 2030 and 2050 our earth will began to change
