https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2022.1073 This raises the specter of pre-human era pathogens being re-released because the permafrost is melting. AFAIK, even the sci-fi authors have not explored that idea.

I've seen a number of recent videos on lake Meade's declining water levels and as I have an amateur interest in aquaponics I've wondered if a large scale project might go some distance towards tackling at least one source of water loss, evaporation. Probably the biggest water draw is downstream...

I live on a lake, and have for almost 3 decades now. Every year I watch shoreline changes, from year to year and shorter timespans, sometimes just days. The lake is large in surface area at 236 km2 (91 sq mi), but with an average depth of only 28' probably relatively small in volume for its...

Please tell me if I need to post my solution for this.., but I just have a question more or less 'conceptual' question about (c). so I know that from Newton's 2nd law for centripetal acceleration --> ##F_{rope} - mgcos(\theta) = ma_n## where ##a_n = \frac {v^2}{R}## such that where the normal...

I'm writing a paper on the movie realism of the A-team movie. The basic situation is that the guys are falling inside a tank with terminal velocity into a lake. I'm stumped on how to calculate the force that is created on impact, though I imagined it being done with some kind of pulse equation...

d=5m But the force is not mg since there is water so net force must be less. But how much?

An ongoing swarm with more than 141 earthquakes (as of about 11:30 AM MDT) is centered beneath Yellowstone Lake. At this point the...

I think the basic idea is quite clear, as for example defined by wikipedia: But when I google more about this "technology", I am getting quite various ideas about what is considered as data lake. Some of them: just a synonym to ETL approach to data processing a distributed file system, like...

could i convert the pressure underneath a lake around 30 feet deep and another lake that's 10 feet deep to run a boiler and then used to clean the old moldy unclean lake In my backyard and fill it with new fishes suited for the environment .cause there

Determine the distance AB across a lake using the following data: AC = 400 m, angle C = 90°, and angle CAB = 40°. Round the answer to the nearest meter. Solution: I say AB = 400/[Cos 40] = 522 meters I then know the distance AB across the lake = 522 meters. I timed myself for this one. I...

This is a project that I wanted to do in the past 3 years, but I never was sure enough because I don't know how to calculate thermal transfer in a submerged coil to at least have an approximation of what to expect. I want a cheap solution to pass the summer days without cook myself or wasting a...

New York Times: Witnessing the Birth of a Crater Lake Where Lava Just Flowed The magma mysteriously drained from the crevice last year, and now scorching pools of water are bubbling up from below. By Robin George Andrews Aug. 7, 2019 Last spring, Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano began its most...

Hi. I've made these pictures on Reichenau Island in Lake Constance, Germany. I was suprized about that clear line between the calm area close to the shore and the more rippled surface further out. The wind was weak, but directed from water to land. From a pier I could see that the ground drops...

Homework Statement Homework Equations dQ/dt = -kA(dT/dx) The Attempt at a Solution I tried to use Fourier's law of Conduction on this one. I subbed dT for (Θ0 - Θ1), and l(t) (function for thickness of ice against time) for dx, reason being that the sheet of ice should get thicker. I then...

Please forgive me if I'm in breach of some etiquette with asking for help here, but calculus isn't my strongest subject, and I learn best by example. I am currently studying in the Life Of Fred Calculus book (do I need to state copyright or something?). I am attempting to work a problem that...

I have heard that rivers form from meltwater and rainwater flowing down mountains. But I know that not all rivers start near mountains. As an example the Mississippi river doesn't start near any mountains. Rather it starts at Lake Itasca which is surrounded by taiga(coniferous forest). This lake...
