dust sent up by human activity, dust storms and volcanic activity.Geologist Frans Rietmeijer, of the University of New Mexico, explains that dust enters the stratosphere from active volcanoes, aerospace activities and outer space. With balloons, aircraft and spacecraft, scientists have been collecting and analyzing stratospheric dust for decades.The dust from volcanic eruptions (five major ...
caudatum has no nervous system. Gary M. Malving and Stephen C. Wood, at the Lovelace Medical Foundation in New Mexico, have discovered that under conditions of hypoxia(oxygen deficiency) this one-celled creature goes to live in the low temperature side of a container. Hypothermia enables the protozoan to survive.In humans, hypothermia is sometimes induced medically to protect against hypoxia, ...
a volcano compared to those in Japan and the Philippines, is also a product of the Ring of Fire. There are others in Mexico and Central America.The largest volcanic explosion in modern times occurred in 1815 when Mt Tamboro in Indonesia blew its top so thoroughly that cubic miles of dust were fired into the stratosphere and remained there for several years before settling. Beautiful sunsets ...
so. In the autumn, many thousands of monarchs gather in the United States and set out in a flight southward to central Mexico. In the spring they return northward, or, at least, they try. They stop to lay eggs and, after that, they usually die. The new generation that develops then continues to fly north to their summer area, and does so without guidance.How a small creature like a butterfly ...

From his studies, he concluded that were was a period, 11,000 years ago, when the Gulf of Mexico contained water that was much less salty than it is today. he suggested that the ice-sheets had undergone a sudden melting and that a vast flood of water had entered the Gulf of Mexico, and raised the sea level markedly.The suggestion was largely ignored because it was ...

which lost 5,000 people to one that was not very close by in 1985. By the year 2000, the number of people at risk in Mexico City will be perhaps 25 million.This can be repeated for any of a hundred cities, with a total population of perhaps 290 million at risk in the year 2000. The mind boggles at what might happen.2) If we can't help having cities in dangerous areas, can we construct them so ...
