100 million year old Millipedes

Over 450 millipedes have recently been found and completely fossilized in 100-million-year-old Burmese amber. The scientist used micro computed tomography technology, this helped identify 13 out of the 16 main groups millipedes.  

I think this is extremely important because it helps show the evolution of the of animals and how they have changed and might have adapted to new or changing environments. This also shows how  technology plays a major role in the world. With out technology it would have been very difficult to differentiate the species.

    I thought this was very cool to see the kind's of technology that we have.

    Fossils are a great way to see evolution and past life, this is a very cool post.

    I think this interesting to learn because we used our history to find new discoveries.

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
