FIVE BLISSFUL COUNTRIES IN 2021

   The most admirable feeling that shows our pleasure and contentment is Happiness. It the most important aim of single in our lives. While not all individuals can be happy all the time, a country, supposedly, can be a happy one. It is, however, rather difficult to measure happiness, there are certain factors that go into it. The World Happiness Report 2021 has been especially interesting, as it has taken the effects of COVID-19 into account. It tried to focus on how the pandemic has affected people’s lives, and how governments around the world have managed to deal with the situation. There are the five happiest countries in the world in 2021. They are Finland, Denmark, Switzerland, Iceland and Netherlands.
  Finland is the leading happiest country in the world. In fact, this is the fourth consecutive year for the Nordic country. With some of the best education systems in the world. This country has been happier than the rest for a long time. As of today, the nation is planning to reopen its restaurants, and speed up the vaccination process, as it sees a decline in covid positive cases.

   Denmark is in the top of its game as far as life expectancy and social support is concerned. It is one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world. Other factors also come into play to contribute to its happiness.
   Switzerland is a traveller’s paradise. This country has moved up three spots as a tourist place. The nation goes to vote on most decisions, even if it is to decide the number of vacation days for workers. A Swiss holiday is of course one of the most coveted holidays for any traveller.
  The Netherlands is the researchers say that it does better than Europe as a whole because of levels of social and institutional trust, as well as social connection.
  A country that is high on well-being, Iceland is certainly one of the finest countries to visit. The nation is known to attract numerous visitors every year and it has successfully managed to remain one of the more advanced nations in the world.

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...
