Stratosphere

Zachariah by Robert C. O'Brien, Ann lives in a valley with a self-contained weather system, referred to in the story as a "meteorological enclave." This valley is completely unaffected by the weather outside; therefore, it is protected from the radiation fallout after the nuclear war. After reading the novel, a question that rose was whether a meteorological enclave was theoretically possible? I concluded that that a theoretical meteorological enclave is possible, after researching the idea. A valley is made by erosion and rivers. One of the conditions for a meteorological enclave is that it must be closed on all sides up to the tropopause, The tropopause is the boundary in the Earth's atmosphere between the troposphere and the stratosphere. The side must reach the tropopause completely would need to be about 10 kilometres over the poles or over 18 kilometres above the equator. On Earth, there are not mountains that high, but on other planets there are. Furthermore on Earth, most valleys are made by erosion and rivers. If a valley is entirely closed, it cannot be a result of erosion, but…

Chemtrails Are Real Have you ever wondered what those white, cloudy-like lines that come off planes and jets are? Or what is in those lines? Contrails are indeed the lines that follow behind aircraft, but there are chemicals in them. Because there are chemicals in the lines, we called them chemtrails. Chemtrails are, in fact, real. Contrails are not harmful to humans. Contrails are said to be naturally made in the air by the exhaust freezing at the high altitudes that planes travel in. The…

The atmosphere is a clear odourless gas that envelopes the Earth, held together by gravity. Everyone on the planet has the right and access to the atmosphere, making it a global common. There are many components that make up the atmosphere, the main components is nitrogen, which makes up 78.09% of the atmosphere, and oxygen, which makes up 20.95%. Around 1% of the atmosphere is comprised of water vapour, methane, carbon dioxide, sulphur, argon and particulates (e.g. dust). There are a total of…

A group of students attached a GoPro camera into a weather balloon The balloon rose up to 98,600 feet before bursting in the stratosphere The unit was found at the Grand Canyon two years after the launch A GoPro camera that was launched to the stratosphere was found to be lying at the Grand Canon two years after its owners lost contact to it. In a report written by Nicholas St. Fleur for the New York Times, the unit, which was attached to a Samsung phone, was told to have been found by a hiker…

The Effects of Carbon Dioxide on Antarctica The objective of the article is going in depth how carbon dioxide effects the Antarctica. According to Student Science sources having higher amounts of Carbon dioxide in the Antarctica causes the environment to cool. Carbon dioxide absorbs and creates radiation stated in the article. The Carbon dioxide blocks radiation from surfaces. The article doesn’t provide necessary evidence because the article is mostly talking the Antarctica climate not how…

“Everything and anything you want to do, you can do in Las Vegas” – Drew Carey Walking on a night in Vegas, you would imagine partying the twenty-four hours ahead of you, or probably go into a casino for the rest of the night. In my case, it was the total opposite. My night in Vegas would be full of adrenaline and pretty sightseeing. From all the cities in the world, I chose Las Vegas to describe because its a city I absolutely adore. A city where you can shut your reality, and go into a total…

ocean and jumped in because she remembered how she got there. She can just leave the same way she got here. She let air out of her mouth to spell meanwhile in air bubbles. *** She was in Las Vegas. Aly realized she was on top of the towering Stratosphere. She walks outside, to enjoy the city scenery. Filled with excitement, she decides to ample her stomach with butterflies and challenges herself to explore some of the rides. Thrilled that no one else was on the ride, she takes the advantage…

If there was a way to certainly know how the planet would respond to the methods and applications of geo-engineering, then perhaps then there could be a real scientific talk about it. However, the repercussions of spraying the stratosphere will be worldwide and uncontainable. The normal scientific procedure for any type of new technology is to test the hypothesis, collect data, reform the hypothesis and retest until the desired result is achieved the minimal negative “side effects”. The problem…

deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)”(Allen). UV-A plays an important role in the formation of Vitamin D and UV-C is absorbed in the atmosphere. “Overexposure to UV-B reduces size, productivity, and quality in many of the crop plant species that have been studied…”(Allen). Increased exposure to UV-B ras can be pressing issue involving human health as it affects photosynthesis (see Figure 1.1), destruction of DNA, and a factor in skin cancer. Increased UV-B radiation results in harming the metabolic…

When most people think of the Stratosphere Hotel, they think of gimmicks, lights, and some roof-top amusements. Few folks know that this hotel actually has a pretty nice poker room. If you can get beyond the cheap look of the hotel, the shady area that it is in, and the overall stigma, then you will find something of a hidden gem of a poker room. The low-rent nature of the nature of the hotel does not seem to carry over into the poker room. The room features tables that have some of the best…
