Read MoreNanosensors – Our Plants and Animals Knows it Long Before
Do you know that the invention of Nanotechnology for which we are patting our back actually exists in our world from the beginning? Yes, some of our plants and animals have that special capability of Nanosensors inbuilt in their body to carry out some special functions? The awesome technology which we discovered recently is not new for them. They have been using the Nanosensors since their creation in this world. They have that special ability to detect the minute particle for which we are taking help of Nanosensors.You may be aware that, Nanosensors are one of the great inventions of ...
Read MoreWater on Mars. Is Life next?
In the past several decades, scientists have come up with various theories regarding possibility of life on Mars, and like most other mysteries this one is also yet to be solved. But for unfolding a possible discovery, NASA scientists having putting in lot of money, technology and effort into missions to Mars.Mars is the 4th planet from the Sun and currently second closest to Earth. With this proximity to Earth it has a few similar physical properties that drives scientific curiosity to find life on the red planet. And scientists consistently attempt to find whether the Martian Physical Environment was ...
Read MoreProject Florence Enabling Gardeners to know what plants “SPEAK”?
Plants are important to make a sense of balance between nature and in people’s lives. Being living organisms, they have a place in the vegetable kingdom that can live on land or in water. Plants and humans are mutually dependent for life and sustainability but are unable to share emotional bonds of each other.However, can you imagine that plants can even speak and feel the emotions of a human being? Yes, it is not just the imagination now. It can be possible. The gardeners can understand the thought of plants and can talk to them scientifically through a great research, ...
Read MoreWhat is the measure for ozone layer?
Ozone is measured as Dobson units. And a Dobson unit of gas is equal to a layer of gas, with a thickness of one-hundredth of a millimeter at the surface of the Earth. The ozone in the atmosphere is measured by about 300 Dobsons.Ozone is also known as a trace gas, meaning there are very few amounts in the atmosphere. In fact, it is concluded that out of every million molecules of gas in the atmosphere, less than ten are ozone. Though it does not sound or seems like much, it's enough to protect you from the Sun's UV rays.The ...
Read MoreWhat are scavengers?
Scavengers are also known as decomposers. They feed on the dead bodies and thus those who are dependent on decaying smelly matter. Some of the popular examples of decomposers are vultures, crows, hyenas, etc. It is a common myth that these scavengers are only carnivorous. They are even herbivores.Scavengers As Animal or BirdScavengers of dead plant material include termites that build nests in grasslands and then collect dead plant material for consumption within their accommodation i.e. the nest.Coprovores: Animals which consume feces, such as dung beetles are known as Coprovores.Detritivores: Animals that collect small particles of a dead animal or a ...
Read MoreWhat measures can we take to conserve water?
Water is a very important resource not only for us but also for our future generations. We should; therefore, save it in order to provide the maximum benefit to others. Water is necessary for our lives. So, if we save water, we save life.However, one must either not be aware of the ways to conserve it or may be reluctant thinking that such work will require a lot of toil. Let's talk about the ways in which water can be conserved.Turn off the Tap Post Use: While we brush our teeth, water keeps spilling out. It is necessary to close ...
Read MoreWhat is the largest earthquake in the world?
An earthquake is defined as the sudden shaking of the Earth's surface. Earthquakes are caused by the collision of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. These plates ride over each other when instability is created in the crust due to the release of energy from the Earth's core.There are large earthquakes and small earthquakes. Earthquakes are measured using an instrument called Seismometer. The magnitude of an earthquake is represented on the Richter scale. On the scale, 3 or less is scarcely noticeable, and magnitude 7 or more causes damage over a wide area.The Great Chilean earthquake also known as the ...
Read MoreWhy so mangrove roots grow above the ground?
While walking near any lake or forest around the sea, you might have seen a different and unique feature of some trees, whose roots are not under but above the ground. They are known as Mangrove trees and they have aerial roots.Now, the reason why have roots above the land is that they are the underground root type which needs and demands more oxygen. Under the ground, the soil is not able to support or provide enough oxygen to the roots and therefore this root system outgrows aerial roots which grow vertically up to the fresh air above the soil.
Read MoreWhat happens if it rains in the desert?
There are many interesting answers to this question. But I found one very fascinating and amazing phenomenon. When it rains suddenly in the Atacama desert in Chile, which is the driest non-polar desert on Earth, there will be a sudden spur of life in the desert.If the desert gets heavy rainfall during their spring season which is October and November, there will be a sudden bloom of the flowers ‘hibernating’ beneath its surface. It fills the entire desert with an explosion of color by the flowers coming to their full bloom which is eagerly waiting for the rain, leaving the place ...
