Harnessing the Power of Saltwater: Revolutionizing Desert Greening and CO2 Sequestration
Human ImpactThe potential of salt water: Greening Deserts and Sequestering CO2 1. Introduction Deserts cover vast areas of our planet, characterized by arid conditions and limited vegetation. These regions are often considered inhospitable and devoid of life. However, recent advances in geoengineering and earth science have focused attention on the potential role of saltwater in greening
Unraveling Nature’s Twist: Exploring the Impacts of a La Niña Following Mount Pinatubo’s 1991 Eruption
Energy & ResourcesThe Pinatubo Eruption and its Impact on the Climate The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo was one of the most significant volcanic events of the 20th century. The eruption released a massive amount of volcanic ash and gases into the atmosphere, resulting in widespread environmental and climatic impacts. One of the main factors influencing the
What happens when a mid-ocean ridge sub-ducts underneath continental crust?
Geology & Landform1. Getting Started When a mid-ocean ridge subducts beneath continental crust, it sets the stage for a complex geological process that shapes the Earth’s surface and influences the dynamics of plate tectonics. This phenomenon occurs at convergent plate boundaries where an oceanic plate, characterized by a mid-ocean ridge, collides with a continental plate. The subduction
Harnessing Geoengineering Innovations for Meeting Paris Agreement Targets: Exploring Methane-focused Earthscience Solutions
Historical AspectsExploring Potential Geoengineering Technologies to Achieve the Paris Agreement Goals The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015, aims to combat climate change by limiting global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Achieving these goals will require significant efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). While mitigation
Find planetary temperature
Climate & Climate ZonesCSS FAQs Find planetary temperature The planetary temperature refers to the average temperature of a planet’s surface or atmosphere. It can vary greatly depending on several factors such as distance from the sun, composition of the atmosphere, greenhouse effect, and presence of any natural or artificial sources of heating or cooling. To find the planetary
