Google Doodle Urges People to ‘Wear Mask’ as Prevention Against COVID-19

A new Google doodle released by the search giant is urging people to wear a mask. Available as a Public Service Announcement, the Google doodle comes with a message that says, “Wear a mask. Save lives”. The second wave of the coronavirus pandemic has hit India and various other countries across the globe with hundreds and thousands of new cases emerging on a daily basis. This brings the need for creating more social awareness around wearing face masks and maintaining social distancing.

The Google doodle animates the Google logo with its letters starting to wear masks. When you place your cursor on the doodle, it shows a message that says, “Masks are still important. Wear a mask and save lives”.

Once you click on the doodle, it shows search results for “COVID-19 prevention” query. It also shows a message about wearing masks, and urges people to wear a face cover, wash hands, and keep a safe distance. The message also includes a More Info button that takes you to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare website that shows the latest number of active COVID-19 cases and fatalities in the country.

Google has partnered with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to show the Public Service Announcement about the COVID-19 prevention through its latest doodle. The animated doodle also includes information about how to prevent the spread of COVID-19 from the World Health Organization (WHO).

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 some flowers bloom at night ?

Summer is known for its fields of wildflowers and flowering trees. All colours of pedals spread toward the sky. We have taken for granted that flowers bloom during the day, just like how summer is warm and grass grows. However, there are some flowers that defy the norm and do not go with the flow of following daylight hours. These flowers actually have a good reason for their particularly weird flower habits. The main purpose of flower blossoms is for the plant to spread their seeds. The flower attracts bees, the bees fly to another flower, and voila, the flower has spread its seeds. However, bees are not the only pollinators, even if they are the most famous. “7 Insect Pollinators that Arendt Bees or Butterflies”, moths, mosquitos, beetles, and even ants share the credit for helping flowers flourish. Most pollinators roam only in daylight, leading most flowers to open up when the sun is out to fit their pollinators’ schedule. But not all pollinators like t...
