A Volcanic Eruption on Mars? Nope

A photograph from spacecraft showing a picture of mars, with a close up on what seems to be a 50 million year old volcano, ready to erupt. Although some scientist are just saying its just a cloud. Olymous Mons is the biggest volcano on mars, which is more than 13 miles tall and the largest in the solar system. Dr. Noe Dobrea says its not a volcanic event because they would have detected a rise in methane, sulfur, and other gases. Scientist keep arguing that it is just clouds and every time the spacecraft goes passed Arsia Mons there always seems to be cloudy, so no one can tell.

    That is super interesting! Even if it is just clouds, there is a 13 mile tall volcano on Mars, that is pretty tall. And if there are clouds doesn't there need to be some sort of liquid evaporated to make that cloud? I know there was been proof that ice was on Mars, but what does that mean?

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
