Mice change cause of climate

                This article is talking about how two different kinds of mice have adapted to climate change showing evidence of evolution. Research has shown that the white-footed mice an deer mice have similar traits and can be found in eastern North America. Yet the white footed mice are more of a southerly species yet because of the climate change they have migrated upward. These mice have morphed to adapt to their environment due to the climate change and also competition for resources. These changes could effect the population of each species and also could effect their behavior. I think that this is a very cool topic to read about and can't wait to see how they react in the future.

    Are the adaptations effecting what they eat or their breeding. Is their adaptation effecting any other organisms in the area.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
