Giant Tsunami Clouds in Alabama

Giant Tsunami clouds

The next phenomenon occurred in Alabama, United States. Birmingham city surrounded by a cloud shaped like a tsunami wave rolling. According to experts, the wave is called the wave "Kelvin Helmholtz" that can happen in the sky or in the ocean. This type of turbulence always forms when a layer or liquid hurtle over a thick layer of slower moving so dragging its surface.

According to Chris Walcek, a meteorologist at the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center of the State University of New York at Albany, fast-moving wind in the sky can drag peak thick clouds moving slowly beneath the same way.

Other possible causes of this phenomenon because of the cold cloud layer above the slow moving layer of warm air that is moving faster.

A Stretch of Sand in the Central South Pacific Sea

Natural phenomenon that occurs in the South Pacific ocean is so very astonishing. Sand floating in the middle of the sea discovered by Maiken, someone who is doing his travels in the south pacific ocean.

Central South Pacific Sea

From a distance, Maiken see the strange events and phenomena when approached turned out that he thought it was a sand beach that floats. And the more bizarre, a collection of floating sand was moved, meaning it is not the location of sandy land because surely sinking sand.

The strange sand has a specific gravity lighter than water. in this phenomenon has been speculated that the sand is floating the possibility of volcanic rocks derived from volcanic blast in the middle of the south pacific ocean when the peak was billowing fumes.

Natural Phenomena: Earth is Split in Africa

In 2005 the dialogue of the Addis Ababa University, the Degree Ayello and his team had tried to set kakidi desert plains of Afar in Ethiopia. But they immediately surprised when they walk on the earth shook and split, then crack open the ground quickly. The researchers then realized that they had become a living witness history in which for the first time people can watch the early stages of the birth of an ocean. Surprisingly cracks that occur in an area that stretches 900 kilometers along the widening reach 8 feet in 10 days.

Natural phenomena

Though normally it takes about 230 years for cracks to reach a width of 8 meters. Moreover, in a few months has turned up hundreds gap that separates the desert base. At the same time other scientists found the increase in height of the earth's magma closer to the surface of the soil. Magma is what will form the basis of ocean basalt. And then the water of the Red Sea will meet down the region, the ocean will be born then broke the African continent.

Afar triangle cut Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Djibouti it is the biggest crack in the earth beneath the plates are African and Arabic it is now getting away with a speed of 1-2 cm per year. When two plates move away, land on it will drop and provide space to accommodate water from the Red Sea.

Facts About Asteroid 2012 DA14

Asteroid 2012 DA14

Here are the facts about the asteroid 2012 DA14 to be closer to the Earth on February 15, 2013, as quoted from the official website of the United States Space Agency (NASA).

1. Asteroid 2012 DA14 is a near-Earth object with a diameter of about 45 meters and a period of about 130,000 metric tons.

2. Asteroid 2012 DA14 discovered by La Sagra Sky Survey operated by the Astronomical Observatory of Mallorca in Spain on February 23, 2012. Distance asteroid was about 4.3 million kilometers when detected.

4. Crossing asteroid 2012 DA14 2013 to now are crossing asteroid that is closest to the Earth in decades. Crossing asteroids close to Earth again will take place on February 16, 2046, when the asteroid passed no closer than a million kilometers from Earth's center.

5. Asteroid 2012 DA 14 traveling at speeds of about 28 100 kilometers per hour and will reach its closest point to Earth on February 15, 2013 or February 16, 2013 at around 2:26 pm.

6. As it approached the Earth, the asteroid will pass over the eastern Indian Ocean, after the Sumatra, close to the position of -6 degrees south latitude and 97.5 degrees east longitude.

7. Asteroid 2012 DA14 will only reach a distance of 27 700 kilometers above the Earth's surface on February 15, 2013. This distance is outside the Earth's atmosphere, but in the satellite orbit in a belt, which was about 35,800 kilometers above the Earth's surface. Distance to nearest asteroid's trajectory was only 1/10 of the distance between the Earth and the moon.

8. When crossing the Earth, asteroid 2012 DA14 would be too faint to be seen with the naked eye. The asteroid can be seen using binoculars or a telescope. The asteroid will be visible from some parts of Europe, Africa and Asia, it also depends on local weather conditions. The asteroid will appear to move relatively quickly across the sky from south to north.

9. Asteroid 2012 DA14 will be in the Earth system / month for 33 hours.

10. DA14 crossing asteroid would not affect Earth. Because he had no chance of orbital collision with another asteroid Bumi.Tapi if there DA14 size of 2012, the asteroid could spend about $ 2.5 megatons of energy into the atmosphere and cause damage. Such conditions occurred in 1908 in Tuguska, Siberia, when an asteroid measuring about 30-40 meters pants leveled 1200 square kilometers of forest around Tunguska River Podkamennaya is now Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia.

11. Because the track, there will be no chance of asteroid 2012 DA14 through Earth's shadow.

12. Opportunities Asteroid 2012 DA14 will affect satellites or spacecraft approaching asteroid is very small because of the Earth, passing between the outer satellite constellation in geosynchronous orbit (35,800 miles) and the concentration of the satellite is much closer to Earth. Almost no satellites orbiting the line that will pass through the asteroid.

13. Scientists believe there are about 500,000 asteroids near Earth asteroid similar in size to 2012 DA14 and of that number, less than one percent that has been found.

14. Scientists in the Near-Earth Object Program Office at NASA's Pasadena, California, estimates that asteroids the size of 2012 DA14 pass this close on average every 40 years, and such crossings could affect Earth, but only once every 1,200 years.

Doomsday Party "Party of Doom"

Doomsday Party

The presence of tourists in Guatemala to attend the "party of doom" have damaged ancient stone temples in Tikal, the largest archaeological sites and urban centers of the Maya civilization.

"Unfortunately, many tourists climb Temple II and cause damage," said Osvaldo Gomez, technical advisor site located about 550 kilometers north of Guatemala City.

"We actually allow the celebration, but travelers should be aware of because it is a World Heritage Site by UNESCO," he told local media. Gomez did not disclose specifically what was done by the tourists.

He said that the climb up the ladder on the site is prohibited and indicates that the damage can not be repaired.

Temple II, with a height of approximately 38 meters and overlooking the central plaza of Tikal, was known to have the best structure on the site.

Last Friday marked the end of an era that lasted for 5,200 years according to the Mayan calendar "Long Count". Some people believe the date that is the end of the world as stated by Maya hieroglyphic letters.

More than 7,000 people visited Tikal on Friday to see the descendants of Mayan indigenous religious leaders held a festive ceremony and fireworks at the dawn of a new era began to dawn.

Analysts complained that the event entirely to wasatawan and only slightly related to the Maya. Approximately 42 percent of the 14.3 million population of Guatemala is the Mayan descent and most live in poverty and face discrimination.

Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle Revealed

pyramid in waters the Bermuda triangle

Previous scientists have discovered ruins of an ancient city near the waters of the bermuda triangle, speculation about the mystery of the Bermuda triangle come up with various theories. But no single theory that can solve the mysterious Bermuda Triangle to be recognized. For a long time scientists around the world for several centuries struggling to solve the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, where from time to time, ships and even aircraft disappeared without a trace.

Now the triangle puzzle bermudah existence, has been successfully solved by scientists from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, Joseph Monaghan and his assistant David May, they found that the disappearance of ships and planes mysteriously in the Bermuda triangle that there is a logical explanation for it. According to them, all triggered by methane gas naturally emitted from the seabed in the region.

According to their theory, gas, apart from the sea, turned into a giant bubble reaches the surface and "soak up" whatever is before him. According to them, methane, if released from the crevices of the ocean, turn into gas bubbles, which then geometrically expand and explode on the surface of the water.

First, the researchers tested their theory by creating a computer model, the results of computer simulation confirms the assumption that if the ship into a bubble of methane, soon lose buoyancy and sink and a giant gas bubble blast was capable of shooting down aircraft.

The researchers then perform the appropriate experiments in the field. These experiments use a container filled with water, and placed on the surface with some toy boats, and the bottom started to squirt methane.

The results of these experiments produced results that no one is lucky and all absorbed in the middle of the bubble, and then away to the bottom and drowned. This may explain cases where the bermuda triangle ships found by the crew on board were killed, but no scratches. People just suffocated by toxic gas.

Jose Mujica, President of The World's Poorest

Unlike most politicians whose lifestyles different from their voters, Uruguayan President Jose Mujica donate part of his salary and live in the farm house is very simple. Clothes hanging laundry outside her home. Water was drawn from all the wells in the weed-covered courtyard. Only two police officers and a dog with three legs named Manuela on guard outside.

Unlike most world leaders, President Mujica pick away from luxury homes provided by the Uruguayan government and the country's leaders chose to stay at the farm house of the wife who was away from the capital Montevideo.

According to the BBC, President Mujica and his own work on the farm and planted with flowers.

He also donated about 90 percent of his monthly income (about $ 12,000) to charity, so that his income in a month equal to the average salary of the workers Uruguay 775 U.S. dollars per month.

The simple life of President Mujica earned him the nickname as president of the world's poorest. "I've been living like this for most of the mine," he said, sitting in an old chair in the garden, using pillows Manuela.

jose_mujica
"I can live well with what I have," he told the BBC. According to an annual wealth report state officials Uruguay, in 2010 the wealth of President Mujica only U.S. $ 1,800, the value of a 1987 Volkswagen Beetle hers.

This year he added his wife's assets such as land, a tractor and a house so that its value increased to 215,000 dollars.

But the number is only about two-thirds of the wealth of the Vice President of Uruguay, Danilo Astoria, reported, and a third of the wealth of its predecessor, Tabare Vasquez.

Mujica was elected president in 2009, spent the 1960's and 1970's he was part of the Tupamaros guerrilla group, the left-wing armed groups that inspired the Cuban revolution.

He was shot six times and spent 14 years in prison. He through a period of detention and isolation sulir before being released in 1985, when Uruguay returned to democracy.

The years in jail, said Mujica, helped shape his views on life.

"I called the president of the poorest, but I do not feel poor. Poor people are those who are just working to maintain expensive lifestyles, and always want more and more," he said.

"It is a matter of liberty. If you do not have much then you do not have to work like slaves to sustain them, and therefore you have more time for yourself," he said.

"I may look like an eccentric old man,, ... but this is a free choice," he added.

Uruguay's leader expressed the same opinion when giving a speech at the Rio +20 summit in June.

"We all talk about sustainable development to come out of poverty. But what were we thinking? Did we want a model of development and consumption of rich countries?"

"I'm asking now: what happens on this planet when the Indian had cars per household proportions similar to Germany? How much oxygen we leaving?"

"Does the planet have enough resources so that seven or eight billion people can have the same level of consumption and waste by the rich now? Excessive consumption like this that endanger our planet."

"Is the earth has enough resources and the verse that could match the level of consumption and waste produced by society. Excessive consumption of these harmful to our planet?" he said.

Mujica said most world leaders have a "blind obsession to achieve economic growth by consumption of its citizens, as the world will end if it is not done."

Although the differences are vegetarian Mujica with other world leaders are very big, but he still is not immune from the ups and downs of political life.

"Many are sympathetic to President Mujica because his simple life. But this does not release him from the criticism of the government," said pollsters is common in Uruguay, Ignacio Zuasnabar.

Uruguay's opposition called the current state of the economy does not produce health care and better education and that from the popularity of the first elected President Mujica has dropped to below 50 percent of the vote.

This year he was also attacked by two controversial measures. Uruguay Congress recently passed legislation to legalize abortion up to 12 weeks gestation. Unlike its predecessor, Mujica did not veto the decision.

He also supports a debate on the legalization of marijuana consumption, the provision would also give a monopoly to the state in managing the trade.

"The consumption of marijuana is not the most worrying, drug transactions was the real problem," he said.

But he was not too concerned with his popularity ratings, which, according to the law in Uruguay means he can not contest the elections again in 2014.

He decided to retire from politics at the age of 77 years. At that time he will get a pension from the government - and not as a former president of the others, a decline in income that would not be a problem for him.
