Amazon Forest Is Flourishing Because Of Sahara Desert



    

The Amazon rainforest is partly fertilized by the Sahara desert, the driest and driest desert region in the world, researchers say in a new report that shows how different parts of the planet are interconnected in deep and surprising ways. Scientists have just discovered the first direct evidence of a link between the desert and the Amazon, one of the largest rainforests on earth. 

    

Scientists believe the main source of phosphorus in the Amazon is dust that was piled up from the Bodele Depression in Chad. In addition to preserving Amazon rainforests, the same Sahara dust also affects other parts of the world, such as tropical rainforests in South America, Africa, and the Middle East, according to a new study by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences. The dust that fertilizes the Amazon rainforest comes from two different sources: the Sahara and other desert regions in Africa. 

    

The Amazon rainforest is located in the northeast of South America and is a dense, humid jungle, while the Sahara is the almost continuous band of sand that spreads across the northern part of Africa. To the south, it borders the Sahel, one of the largest and most diverse desert regions in the world, and to the north, the Bodele Depression in Chad. One example is the book "The Book of Genesis" by Isaac Asimov, a great-grandson of Isaac Newton. 

    

This great desert is a belt of scorching drought stretching from the Sahara to the Arabian Peninsula and deep into Central Asia and beyond. 

    

The Sahara is dwarfed by the cold tundra of Antarctica and the Arctic Circle, but it is also so dry that it is almost as large as the United States. Antarctica is the driest place on the planet, with 0.4% of the Earth's surface covered in ice. The Atacama Desert in Chile is known as "the drier place" on earth, and deserts around the world get no more than 10 inches of rain in 39 tons (10 years). 

    

Other deserts, such as the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, receive almost the maximum annual rainfall of any desert and host some of the world's most productive forests, such as the Sahara Desert and the Amazon. 

The Amazon jungle, also called Amazon, is the Amazon biome, a wet deciduous forest covering an area of about 3.2 million square kilometers and covering most of the Amazon basin in South America. The Amazon rainforest is a tropical rainforest with a total area of more than 2.4 million hectares, which is between 1,000 and 2,500 km2 and covers a total of about 4.6 million cubic kilometers. It is also the largest rainforest in the world and home to the largest number of plant and animal species in the world. It is also the most productive forest in North America and the second largest in Latin America after the Sahara. 

    

Looking at the data, it becomes clear that the Great Basin is a cool rather than a hot desert. This means that the desert gets only about half of what the rainforest gets in the Sahara climate graph. The savannah is the gentle grassland scattered across the desert biome, and organisms living in deserts are adapted to an extremely dry climate. Normally deserts get a much drier climate than tropical rainforests and desert biomes. 

    

At the end of the last Ice Age, the Sahara was much hotter and drier than today, covering the largest and hottest desert in the world. Back then, it was also the vast desert world that occupied roughly the same area as the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii, and China in terms of land area. 

    

While the actual climate of the Thar desert can vary quite a bit, Sukkur is 145 miles away. The Arabian Desert stretches over 22 latitudes from 12 to 34 in the north and is considered a tropical desert, as a large part of it is located north of the Cancer Circle. 

The Kalahari has higher rainfall than the Namib, but only a small amount of rainfall is expected. Another possibility that causes this variation is the presence of the Sahara in the southern part of South Africa and the Amazon rainforest. In 2010, the Amazon rainforests experienced the highest rainfall of any tropical forest in North America, more than twice the average rainfall for the entire year. Beyond the Sahara is a town called Tidikelt, which has not received a drop of rain in ten years. 

    

The diatom rain fertilizes the Amazon forest with phosphorus and replenishes vital minerals that had spilled out in recent years. The Rio Negro tributary, an Amazon rainforest, crosses the Sahara and reaches South Africa and the Kalahari, where it dries up and decomposes deadwood, which releases greenhouse gases. 

Sahara dust, which in turn feeds the Amazon rainforest and replaces nutrients lost there, according to the scientists who are studying the process. Sahara dust helps the Amazon soil, phosphorous dust blows from the Sahara wind into the Atlantic and contributes to the prosperity of the rainforests. The researchers explain that there is information on Amazon Rainforest.org as they try to figure out how everyone can help.

Volvo gave away the patents to one of the most important safety devices ever invented

 This week Volvo Cars won a trademark infringement case against dozens of Chinese counterfeiters who sold counterfeit parts for the company's flagship Volvo XC90 on the internet. The case echoes another lawsuit Volvo filed in 2018 against nearly 100 people for trademark infringement who sold counterfeit parts online.       The sellers' websites attract tens of millions of visitors a year, who spend billions to make it in China, Volvo said. The lawsuit was filed by Volvo Cars on behalf of truck and bus manufacturer Volvo AB, which is owned by the company together with Volvo Trademark Holding. Ford bought the Volvo Group - which still owns the Volvo commercial vehicle brand - in 1999. Ten years later, Ford sold the Volvo brand to its parent company Truck and Bus Holding AB.       Volvo Buses introduced three-point belts under the seats in the early 1990s. S. S., London. In 2009, Volvo estimated that this revolutionary technology saved one milli...

Willie Mae Bragg, First Black To Execute Using Portable Electric Chair

     The nation's first portable electric car was given to Mississippi to take revenge on a 28-year-old Negro man convicted of killing his estranged wife. A black man named Willie Mae Bragg, who was convicted of killing his wife, was photographed being strapped to the throne of death by deputies and then dying by electrocution. It looks like he was strapped to the "throne of death" by a deputy, but it was the first time in United States history that lawmakers tied him to it.       Thompson had trouble unlocking the bulky wooden and metal chair from a large truck that contained a gasoline engine that produced the deadly electricity and putting it in the prison cell. McGee then had to sit on the rocking chair to give him what he still said was the truth about Mrs. Hawkins. Bragg was shocked again by the electric shock, then by a series of electric shocks, before he finally ended his life.  Less than a year later, in March 1955, Gerald Gallego, convi...

What Happens If You Fall Into Quicksand

  How to escape quicksand may sound like something that only applies to Indiana Jones, but this stuff is more common than you might think. If you decide to dip your head - first in and get stuck - you could be killed by it, buried alive, submerged in your chest while standing, or even killed if you fall into it. It will not be universally easy to understand, and even a failed attempt at self-rescue could end badly, but if I get in such a boat, I could die.       Imagine you are in a large pool instead of in quicksand or swamp and the tide comes in, the big question is: if you sink deep into quicksand, what should you do if you get stuck in it? If it's a bad choice not to try too much and escape, what do you do to get out of the way? What do I do when I sink into a deep quake, is there any way to get out?       Quicksand appears as a water-saturated and agitated surface of loose sand. When the water swells up from the ground, you can stumble i...
