Smoke from a Distant Fire
http://www.sciencenews.org/view/feature/id/64474/title/Smoke_from_a_Distant_Fire
This article is about how large wild land fires can be contained into the stratosphere and then develop into the atmosphere. The smoke is also known to cause dangerous weather and can be carried a long ways before being released. The smoke in the stratosphere were cent to cause random volcanic eruptions and also the smoldering of a fire causes the smoke to release in the stratosphere. The planes that fly over the fires to dump water takes a numerous number of gas to run and the gas is considered to be released into the stratosphere also. Scientist think that smoke causes numerous amount of precipitation and this is what causes thunderstorms. I feel that the smoke heats up the atmosphere while it is being cooled down at the same time but the other clouds are cooling the earth's surface. Also the fuels from the planes flying over causes gases to get into the stratosphere along with the fire's smoke combining together to make terrible weather. The smoke from these fire's build up and flow up stream to the stratosphere but while building up it also pulls in the humid air around it. This then moisturizes the earth's atmosphere and then a random volcanic eruption can occur at any time. I also feel that this article was interesting because it help audience's view how smoke can create bad weather and also create volcanic action in the atmosphere. The why that scientist determined that smoke from fire's causes this action to happened was that these fire's set of different amounts of satellite's. Each satellite had a different reason to go off and the smoke set all the satellites off that were placed by the wild land fire.

ReplyDeleteI liked this article because I didnt know that wildfires do more damage than just what they burn on the earth. I learned that the smoke put in the atmosphere can cause violent storms that can also do harm to the environment. I also learned that the planes that release harmful smoke into the atmosphere that also leads to violent storms. I also found this article interesting because I learned that smoke can create volcanic action in the atmosphere.

I believe that thisarticle was very insighful for us to know about what is happening to the stratosphere. The stratosphere is a key layer of the earth that we have to have and we dont want to harm it anymore like we are with the Ozone layer aslo. i truely believe that the smokeand ash from the volcanic eruptions are making a big impact too. This is a very strong article.

In this post I saw where it said smoke can cause dangerous weather. What kind of dangerous weather can come from this? Also, what effect would it have on the environment?

This article is interesting and good information about wild fires. However I do not understand how volcanic eruptions can be caused from smoke in the atmosphere. How can this be when eruptions are caused by pressure from the inner core?
