Stall:

🌀Hurricanes are steered by global winds

🌀The winds that surround a hurricane (environmental wind field) guide the hurricane

🌀When the environmental wind field becomes weak, the #hurricane may stall, especially if it’s not being influenced by high/low pressure systems

Stadium Effect:

🌀The eyewall encloses the eye of a #hurricane with surrounding thunderstorms

🌀If you are in the eye, you can see the #eyewall stadium effect (clouds stack up like a stadium)

🌀The #eye is the calmest part of the storm, you can even see blue sky during the day

We Will Stick Together:

💦Trimethylsilanol-treated sand and water

💦Treat normal sand with trimethylsilanol ((CH3)3SiOH) vapor to make it #hydrophobic (repels water)

💦Replaces the #hydrophilic hydroxyl (-OH) groups on the sand molecules’ surface with #hydrophobic siloxaneones

Eruptions, Earthquakes, Emissions:

🌎Red = Volcanic eruptions since 1960

🌏Blue = Earthquakes since 1960

🌍Yellow = Volcanic gas emissions (sulfur dioxide, SO2) since 1978, the first year satellites were available to provide global monitoring of #SO2

Shark Steals Bait Bag:

🦈Sharks have a trick called “gastric eversion” up their proverbial sleeve

Starry Night:

🌌”The sight of stars always makes me dream,” Vincent Van Gogh wrote in a letter to his brother Theo

🌌Even at the time he had been admitted to an institution in the South of France, he enjoyed painting the starry night skies that he saw there
