Land of Midnight sun
Midnight Sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs during the summer months in areas north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle, where the sun is always visible to local people after midnight. At higher altitudes (60 degrees north) the sun sets at a few degrees. Below the circle, as in northern Norway and Iceland, the sun appears to burn in the middle of the night after sunset.

Andes mountain
Garzone and Andrew Leier, associate professor of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of South Carolina, used new temperature recording techniques in two different studies of different Andean regions to determine whether rapid eruptions were normal, without mountain formation in the region. Garzone worked in the southern Altiplano and collected meteorological records that preserved ancient soils in low-lying areas near the sea, where temperatures remained warm throughout the region's history, and at higher altitudes, where they cooled as the range of mountains rose. He and Lyre have strong isotope evidence for many of the effects of this increase in Bolivia's central Andes, which focus on the binding behavior of carbon and oxygen isotopes in calcite minerals from rainwater, and their effects are similar.

On Fireworks...?
The Facts: The Question: Can we please talk about fireworks for a minute? I would like to know who is responsible for this incredibly poor decision making. Let's review the facts. Fireworks are among the leading causes of wildfires in California. I just read a BBC News Article that describes a couple that decided it was a great idea to reveal the gender of their child with an explosion. The smoke bomb caused a fire that killed a brave firefighter and caused injuries to many others. Properties damaged. Beautiful landscapes burned. All in the name of what? Wanting to see like two seconds of fire. What a way to bring a child into the world. Boom.

REINCARNATION
It ended in darkness, but then it started there too. A mermaid’s purse, swaying through the water, along with my other siblings. The funny thing is, I can still remember parts of my old life but not enough to recall it fully. I used to have skin I think, but now I have a kind of scales.

Red sea
In the Gulf of Aden, biodiversity is among the highest in the world. Low-temperature variance in-depth (0.3 degrees with average annual temperature between shallow and mesophotic waters) (Eyal et al., 2019). Water exchanges between the South and North reduce genetic variation at the macro-ecological level.

The Northern Sink Hole
The Sink Hole People are used to hearing about Sink Holes in the Southern Delta areas, Florida, Alabama, and Louisiana. But have you ever heard of one in Northern New York State? I am talking about the Adirondack Mountains. It is rare for a Sink Hole to happen in this region. Most of the area is rock or mountainous. However, one such Sink Hole did happen.

How does acid rain occur
The corrosive downpour was first distinguished by Hubbard Stream during the 1960s in North America and was the aftereffect of delayed openness to sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from energy plants. His exploration has impacted public and worldwide corrosive downpour strategy, including a correction to the Spotless Air Demonstration of 1990. Acidic downpour pools in lakes in regions, for example, the Adirondack Mountains in New York transformed them into shallow springs, killed fish, and brought many flying predators, like the projection, to the edge of destruction.

Atlantic Ocean
Different boundaries were used to define the boundaries of the North and South Atlantic. Attempts to define open watersheds between the Atlantic and Arctic oceans are based on the unifying of latitude and direct transect, but the two most common areas are 65 degrees N (Arctic Circle) and 66 degrees. The southern boundary of the Atlantic Ocean is not very clear and the name is given to the waters around Antarctica as "Southern Ocean".

GAIA
The morning dew collected on her arms as she sat and watched the darkness filter into a sunrise. The time between the fading darkness and the new dawn was where she found her solace. It was the only time she could let herself settle, like soil on the bottom of a riverbank. It was the only time she could sit on a moss-laden rock, gaze out into the world, and think of her children.

Beekeeping & Horticulture
Nature’s beauty is amazing! I love flowers & bees buzzing. Each joy seems to come with hazing. The love of bees let's not exploit. Our sense perception is adroit. Our toxic sting a last resort. We have advanced society. With guards' workers & royalty. Our food is packed with energy. Some men exploit us for money. Sometimes we’re starved of our honey. Us bees don’t think it's so funny! Our abundance we love to share. We love bee keepers who do care. The ways bees work is always fair. You cannot lie to a bright bee. It might surprise what we can see. These creatures are for you & me. We adapt to both heat & frost. Rebels bees do pay a steep cost. With small error not all is lost.
