RISKY LIFE OF BIRDS! SAVE THE BIRDS

In the world there are nearly 10,000 species of birds. Among them 1,230 are found in India only . Almost 13% percentage of world birds species are in India are under threat due to various reasons : climatic change, pollution and strong electromagnetic field. Birds are affected by magnetic radiation, light pollution, glass reflection, oil spills, etc.

Every year, in United states nearly 1 billion of birds are dying from striking on window. This collisions are of two types :daytime and night time collision.During day the birds lure to the vegetarian food found on the other side of the window .While in night the nocturnal migrant may get distracted by the light from window. Some birds will attack their own reflection on the window. This often happens in spring season .Thus to save the birds we can place a net cover out of a window, paste design tapes, use UV marked glass, etc. Birds can see UV light which can’t be seen by humans.

During the period of 1997 to 2007 the cell phone base stations were installed in large level. In Punjab ,Uttar Pradesh different species of birds have been lower breeding observed closed to cell phone station. In south Chennai -200 Chennai bird species like house sparrow ,red whiskered bulbul, brahmini kite ,spotted dove have virtually disappeared. Birds are sensitive to magnetic radiation. It will affect their immune system.

The magnetic pulse will damage the eggs and embryo . Then the chick caught out will lead to infections and their plumage will be discolored. Therefore, we have to avoid using wireless communication else prepare an alternate technology that should not affect the life of other livings.

The leakage in the ship or petroleum tank or disposal of waste oil in ocean will affect the sea birds. Normally the birds wing is water repellent but the presence of oil in water will make them tunable to fly.

WHY ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEAN ARE NOT MIXED?

Nearly 72% of the earth is filled with water and it is present with different names- oceans, seas, rivers. Why are they named differently? There are five oceans namely Artic ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian ocean and Antarctic ocean . All the oceans are different in their physical and biological character called ocean clines. When we look at the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean junction, they do not mix. Is there any invisible Wall in between them? Many scientists have conducted research to solve this mystery. The Atlantic and Pacific Ocean have different chemical composition. The salinity of the water in the Atlantic Ocean is five times more than the Pacific Ocean. The density of water is also different, so even marine animals in Atlantic Ocean will not go to the Pacific Ocean. They cannot survive in other oceans. Atlantic and Pacific Ocean meet at Cape Horn. The narrow straight line formed by the water bodies is called Drake Strait. The Pacific Ocean is ...

The Chemical Lake

Spotted Lake or Lake khiluk in Canada is richly concentrated with various minerals. It contains dense deposits of magnesium sulfate, calcium, and sodium sulfates. It also contains high concentrations of eight other minerals and lower amounts of silver and titanium. Most of the water in the lake evaporates over the summer, revealing colorful mineral deposits. Large ‘spots’ on the lake appear and are colored according to the mineral composition and seasonal amount of precipitation. Magnesium sulfate, which crystallizes in the summer, is a major contributor to spot color. Originally known to the First Nations of the Okanagan Valley (Native American Tribe) as Khiluk, Spotted Lake was for centuries and remains revered as a sacred site thought to provide therapeutic waters. It is the most mineralized lake in the world. Each spot holds a different cure due to the unique chemical content found within each puddle. Lake Khiluk is considered a saline endorheic alkali lake. The Okanag...

Why is the Pacific Ocean shrinking and the Atlantic Ocean is getting wider?

Twenty million years ago there was no Atlantic Ocean. But then, thanks to plate tectonics, the South American and North American continents were separated by a rift valley that eventually turned into the Atlantic Ocean. The complementary shapes of the South American and African continents have long been noticed, but it wasn't until the 1960s that the theory of plate tectonics became accepted as the explanation. These days, the Atlantic Ocean is growing at a rate of five centimetres per year, as new sea floor is created by volcanic activity along its mid-ocean ridge. On the other hand, the much older Pacific Ocean is currently estimated to be shrinking by two to three centimetres each year. Again, this comes down to plate tectonics because the Pacific Ocean has subduction zones on three sides - where the Pacific plate submerges beneath other plates. Since there are very few subduction zones in the Atlantic, Indian and Arctic oceans...
