If we could green the Sahara, would it be able to sustain itself?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Erin Colon What would happen if the Sahara was green? Stager’s research suggests that as the Sahara turns green, it could trigger a warming trend out to sea in the Atlantic Ocean that would make our weather here in the eastern US far more volatile. “When you green the Sahara, there’s less dust,
Carbon dioxide on Mars, Venus and Earth
Earth ScienceAsked by: Carlos Feliciano Earth’s atmosphere is 0.038% carbon dioxide. Mars’s atmosphere is 95.3% carbon dioxide. Venus’s atmosphere is 96.5% carbon dioxide. Does Venus Earth and Mars have carbon dioxide? Both worlds’ atmospheres are almost pure carbon dioxide. Venus is 96% carbon dioxide (CO2) which led a once Earthlike planet to a very high surface
If I could drill a hole into the mantle, would it form a volcano?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Carlos Feliciano Drilling into the center of the Earth would have no effect on volcanos, which do not have a direct conduit to the molten core, as his diagram falsely suggested. Volcanic material comes from reservoirs no deeper than 30 miles underground. The core begins about 1,800 miles beneath the surface. Is it
Are there books or on-line resources about graphic design for geology?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Bradley Willis What are 3 things geologists study? Geologists study the materials, processes, products, physical nature, and history of the Earth. What technology do geologists use? Geologists use a variety of tools depending on the situation, but some of the most commonly used tools include Hand Lens, Rock Hammers, compasses, and field books.
Earthquake probabilities
Earth ScienceAsked by: Bradley Willis Within the next 30 years the probability is: 60% that an earthquake measuring magnitudemagnitudeMagnitude is expressed in whole numbers and decimal fractions. For example, a magnitude 5.3 is a moderate earthquake, and a 6.3 is a strong earthquake. Because of the logarithmic basis of the scale, each whole number increase in
LWC and Absolute Humidity
Earth ScienceAsked by: Ashley Benavides What is the difference between humidity and absolute humidity? Or to put it simply, relative humidity indicates the actual water content of air as a percentage of the maximum amount it could possibly hold. The term absolute humidity is less common: it describes the actual amount of water vapour in the
