{TEXTBOOK} Polar Shift POLAR SHIFT PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Clive Cussler,Paul Kemprecos | 504 pages | 05 Jun 2007 | Berkley Books | 9780425210482 | English | New York, NY, United States Earth's Magnetic North Pole Has Shifted So Much We've Had to Update GPS One magnetized patch is beneath Canada while the other is under Siberia. In the past few decades, the Siberian patch has begun to overpower its opponent in dramatic fashion. The planet-scale battle has resulted in the magnetic north pole migrating towards Russia with a quickness. Northern Russia is winning the 'tug of war', if you like," Dr. Livermore is lead author of a paper out this week in Nature Geoscience. At the turn of the 20th century, the magnetic north pole was firmly in the Canadian Arctic. It spent the next century meandering about ten degrees to the north, moving ever closer to the true North Pole. Around its movement began to accelerate, and by magnetic north had actually moved all the way north, crossed the International Date Line and began traveling south on the other side of the globe toward Siberia. I've written e-books on Android and Alaska. I began covering Silicon Valley for the now defunct Business 2. In a matter of seconds, the sun has shifted from its high noon position to just a few degrees above the horizon in the southwest. A bitter, cold wind blows in That is what it would be like to experience a polar shift. A shifting of the Earth's poles has been predicted to occur in the near future by a number of psychics, including the renowned Edgar Cayce. This certainly is not a scientific prediction, but some scientists believe that it is at least possible that this could happen at some future date, and perhaps has happened many times in our planet's past. Whether or not we could survive a physical shifting of the Earth's poles is open to debate; it could be much more cataclysmic than described above. There are two ways of considering what is meant by a pole shift:. Unfortunately if you put stock in such things , Cayce was referring to a shift of the first type. He wrote: "There will be upheavals in the Arctic and Antarctic that will cause the eruption of volcanoes in the torrid areas and pole shift. D, he replied, "When there is a shifting of the poles. Or a new cycle begins. Brown argued that this wobble and drift effect made future cataclysmic polar shifts inevitable and suggested the use of nuclear weapons to break up the polar ice caps in order to prevent future catastrophes. Similar such near misses of the Earth by Mars between and BCE caused more pole shifting disaster. Due to the polar shift, Barbiero suggests that, if it ever existed, Atlantis would be found under the Antarctic ice sheet today. The theory of retired civil engineer James G. Bowles suggests that pull of centrifugal forces on the Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets will cause the poles to drift toward the equator, possibly sooner than later. While earth sciences experts agree that geographic movement of the poles has occurred in the past, the rate and extent have been far smaller and of a less catastrophic impact than those predicted by the pole shift theorists. According to scientists, the extent of past polar drift has been less than 1-degree per million years or slower. Geologic records indicate that the geographical poles have not deviated by more than about 5-degrees over the last million years.

Earth’s Magnetic North Pole Is Shifting Dramatically From A Powerful Tug Of War In Flavio Barbiero , an engineer and explorer, theorized that shifting of the Earth's axis took place 11, years ago and caused what was subsequently recorded in myth as the destruction of Atlantis and Mu. He suggested that shifting was probably caused by the impact of a comet on the Earth's surface and that the current position of Atlantis has to be sought under the Antarctic ice sheet. Several authors have offered pseudoscientific arguments for the hypothesis, including journalist and New Age enthusiast Ruth Shick Montgomery , [19] Skeptics counter that these works combine speculation, the work of psychics, and modern folklore, while largely avoiding any effort at basic science by trying to disprove their own theory.

Therefore, a new universal severity classification scheme for natural 9 disasters is developed and is supported by data. This universal system looks at the severity of disasters based on the 10 most influential impact factor and gives a rating from zero to ten; zero indicates no impact and ten is a world-wide 11 devastation. This universal system is for all types of natural disasters, from lightning strikes to super volcanic eruptions 12 and everything in between, that occur anywhere in the world at any time.

  • The Theory of Hurricanes
    Annual Reviews www.annualreviews.org/aronline Annu. Rev. Fluid Mech. 1991.23 : 179 96 Copyright © 1991 by Annual Reviews Inc. All rights reserved THE THEORY OF HURRICANES Kerry A. Emanuel Center for Meteorology and Physical Oceanography, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 KEYWORDS: tropical cyclones, convection,moist convection,finite-amplitude instability INTRODUCTION The hurricane remains one of the outstanding enigmas of fluid dynamics. This is so, in part, because the phenomenonis comparatively difficult to observe and because no laboratory analogue has been discovered. To this it must be added that hurricanes have received surprisingly little attention from the theoretically inclined fluid dynamicist, perhaps owing to an understandable tendency to avoid problems that involve complex thermo- dynamics and lack laboratory analogues. Yet hurricanes involve a rich spectrum of fluid-dynamical processes, including rotating, stratified flow dynamics, boundary layers, convection, and air-sea interaction; as such, they provide a wealth of interesting and consequential research problems. This article reviews recent developments in the theory of hurricanes and delineates the important remaining scientific challenges. THE MATURE HURRICANE: A NATURAL CARNOT ENGINE About 80 rotating circulations knowngenerically as tropical cyclones form over the tropical oceans each year. Of these, roughly 60%reach an intensity (maximumwinds in excess of 32 m s- 1) that qualifies them as hurricanes, a term applied only in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific. (Similar storms in other parts of the world go by different names.) Anexcellent review of the climatology and observed characteristics of these storms is provided by Anthes (1982). Here we use the term hurricane in place of the generic term tropical cyclone.

    EDUCATORS GUIDE 02 | Supervolcanoes Volcanism is one of the most creative and destructive processes on our planet. It can build huge mountain ranges, create islands rising from the ocean, and produce some of the most fertile soil on the planet. It can also destroy forests, obliterate buildings, and cause mass extinctions on a global scale. To understand volcanoes one must first understand the theory of plate tectonics. Plate tectonics, while generally accepted by the geologic community, is a relatively new theory devised in the late 1960’s. Plate tectonics and seafloor spreading are what geologists use to interpret the features and movements of Earth’s surface. According to plate tectonics, Earth’s surface, or crust, is made up of a patchwork of about a dozen large plates and many smaller plates that move relative to one another at speeds ranging from less than one to ten centimeters per year. These plates can move away from each other, collide into each other, slide past each other, or even be forced beneath each other. These “subduction zones” are generally where the most earthquakes and volcanoes occur.

    CHAPTER 15 EMANUEL 15.1 Chapter 15 100 Years of Progress in Tropical Cyclone Research KERRY EMANUEL Lorenz Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts ABSTRACT A century ago, meteorologists regarded tropical cyclones as shallow vortices, extending upward only a few kilometers into the troposphere, and nothing was known about their physics save that convection was somehow involved. As recently as 1938, a major hurricane struck the densely populated northeastern United States with no warning whatsoever, killing hundreds. In the time since the American Meteorological Society was founded, however, tropical cyclone research blossomed into an endeavor of great breadth and depth, encompassing fields ranging from atmospheric and oceanic dynamics to biogeochemistry, and the precision and scope of forecasts and warnings have achieved a level of success that would have been regarded as impossible only a few decades ago. This chapter attempts to document the extraordinary progress in tropical cyclone research over the last century and to suggest some avenues for productive research over the next one. 1. Introduction As valuable as these contributions were, almost nothing was known about the vertical structure of tropical cyclones, By the time that the American Meteorological Society or the basic physical mechanism that drives them.

  • Crisis-Proof Manufacturing: How to Enable Long-Term Resilience COVID-19: a Litmus Test for Factory Resilience
    Crisis-Proof Manufacturing: How to Enable Long-Term Resilience COVID-19: A Litmus Test for Factory Resilience “COVID-19 will likely follow the pattern of a broad crisis, resulting in a rather deep decline and a lengthy recovery.” – Harvard Business Review1 Crises like the COVID-19 pandemic are a litmus test for factory resilience. It exposes the known and unknown vulnerabilities of manufacturing systems and processes. It spurs manufacturers to reevaluate their factory resilience and rethink their crisis management seriously. The impact of COVID-19 on manufacturing processes and supply chain is highly disruptive and rippling. Global process manufacturers had to contend with the following challenges: Larger-scale supply disruptions. Manufacturers heavily dependent on sourcing materials from China, where the outbreak started, faced supply chain shortages.2 Significant demand reduction. The demand for automotive paints and coating, for example, has plummeted due to the pandemic.3 Drastic labor shortage. According to a French trade group ANIA study, food makers suffered a 22% loss in turnover globally due to the health crisis. Personal care and cosmetics manufacturers, on the other hand, had to shut down their firms due to lack of manpower.4 Costly delays. Pharmaceutical manufacturers that conduct clinical trials in China faced study disruptions and slower regulatory approvals.5 Reactive, Uncoordinated According to a study published in IEEE Engineering Management Review in July 2020, faculty members saw that the response of manufacturers to COVID-19 disruptions “has been largely reactive and uncoordinated.”6 To keep their operations running, some manufacturers have taken these temporary measures: Reactive cost-cutting such as overtime reduction, layoff, and discretionary spend cuts.1 Repurposing production to meet new demands goals, which can be costly and full of challenges.7 Partial operations capacity.
