Earthquakes in Spain, volcano eruption in Italy
Published May 12, 2011 | Earthquakes in Spain, volcano eruption in Italy, where is the next one? It looks that the summer promises to be hot. As you know two earthquakes struck southeast Spain in quick succession Wednesday, killing at least 10 people, injuring dozens and causing major damage to buildings, officials said. It was the highest quake-related death toll in Spain in more than 50 years.
The largest in Europe 3329-metre volcano Mount Etna in Sicily erupted this Wednesday night, spewing out ash and lava. and Two airports in Catania are temporarily closed but reported that it is not considered particularly dangerous. “This eruption is very similar to more than 200 episodes of lava fountaining at the summit craters of Mount Etna — including 66 from the Southeast Crater in the year 2000,” said Boris Behncke, a volcanologist and expert on Mount Etna. “The same vent that erupted last night already produced nearly identical — though longer-lasting — episodes in September and November 2007 and most recently on May 10, 2008.”

Etna’s lava fountaining may go on for weeks or even months, similar to past episodes such as the series of 66 lava fountains during 2000, which lasted seven months, Behncke said.
As bad as Chernobyl

“This reconfirms that this is an extremely major disaster. We are very sorry to the public, people living near the nuclear complex and the international community for causing such a serious accident,” said Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano.
The radioactive cloud from Fukushima
Published April 1, 2011 | the picture you can see bellow displays a potential dispersion of the radioactive cloud (Caesium 137 Isotope) after a nuclear accident in reactor Fukushima I. The continuous release rate is very uncertain, thus the calculations have to be interpreted qualitatively. Dispersion in the near surface level (Level 1), in appr. 2500 m height (Level 12) and in appr. 5000 m height (Level 16).

Know the various ways to reduce carbon emissions
Published March 10, 2011 | The entire earth is undergoing severe amount of changes and believe it or not all changes are not good. There are certain things that are severe by nature and that are why it is important for everyone to know about these various things so that they can get ready to prevent these things from getting aggravated. The environment pollution is one such thing that is keeping the people worried about the future of life on this beautiful planet of ours. The situation of environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious as the carbon dioxide emission is increasing in a very alarming manner. There is no doubt that this gas is highly important for the smooth functioning of the life on this earth, however it is also very important that the presence of this gas can be severely harmful if the percentage presence in the air increases.
That is why it is important for everyone living on this earth as how to reduce carbon emissions in the air. There are many informative literatures available everywhere which can be very useful for them to increase their knowledge with the CO2 reduction facts. These sorts of information can be very helpful for them to raise their awareness about this burning problem that can pose a severe threat against the possibilities of human survival on this earth.
The harmful emission form the automotive vehicles is also a great problem that increases this environmental pollution. Green auto parts can be very good options that the users of various vehicles can make use of in their vehicle. These parts are capable of reducing the harmful emissions and that is why they can also contribute in the protection of the environment. Auto recycling is yet another effective way to reduce this emission of CO2 gas in the air. People can look for ways to recycle their vehicles periodically so that they can get better performance from them for a longer period of time.
It is very much advisable for the owners of these vehicles that they must pay very good attention towards the working standards of their vehicles and they must keep an eye on the various parts. They must replace the used auto parts that cause major amount of carbon emission in the air. By changing these used parts, they can make their vehicles work smoothly for a longer period of time. This can make them healthy and it can certainly help the other inhabitants of this earth to live a life of safety and security.
