Welcome to the 26th Daily Field Note! Here you find the top post of the day, one covering each scientific field that is included by Geopolis. Since these authors put a lot of effort in writing a good post they surely deserve the extra exposure.

Geopolis is a project to promote and connect authors who write in the fields of global sciences. Upvotes are currently worth more than $1,50 so don't hesitate to get involved or become a member for higher rewards! You can read more about the project and how to join here:

Subjects curated by Geopolis are Geography, Anthropology, Ecology, Geology, Archeology and certain branches of History.

Geography: The Three Gorges Dam, the largest in the world

The Three Gorges dam truly is an egocentrically wonder and. If you want to know how this landscape altering mechanical wonder came to be you should read josue783@josue783 that tells you all about it.

The Yangtze River - known in China as Changjiang - has a length of 6,300 km. It is the longest river course in China, and the third in the world after the Amazon and the Nile. It constitutes, along with the Huang He or Yellow River, the cradle of the Chinese nation. It rises at an altitude of 5,800 m, on the Janggaingting Glacier of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and from there it flows to the sea. Most of the Yangtze basin has abundant rainfall, mainly in spring and summer, and an average rainfall of 1,100 mm per year. The water resources are, therefore, very abundant. The average annual contribution of the Yangtze is 1,000 km³: about ten times that of all Spanish rivers combined This repr...

Geology: Satellites can tell us when volcanoes put on a few pounds, even when volcanoes want that kept secret...

Did you know you can predict volcano eruptions from space? You can learn everything about it from nostone-unturned@nostone-unturned's post. It really is a clever and fascinating technique they use here.

Original Post

Hi everybody Yesterday I talked about a new discovery that could help predict volcanic eruptions. here. We found out that while those tiny crystals were a great help in understanding the chemical changes occurring in a magma chamber before eruption, they were poor actual prediction indicators. Today I want to introduce Steemit to another method that has a much better chance of actually predicting eruptions. Unfortunately, this method has nothing to do with chemistry… disappointing, I know right

Ecology: Ecology #4 [ evolution ] The first wave of evolution is what we think of as Darwinian evolution

I hope most of you have at least a notion of what the Darwinian evolution theory is. If you want to know precisely how this theory came to be and know more details, read this post written by rabo@rabo.

Describes a new trend about the theory of evolution as an agricultural student I know about ecology, in this post I will present a series on ecology with a focus on the topic Evolution

Evolution is a gradual process of gradual alteration and takes a long time from simple form, to more complex forms. It takes millions of years for the change to appear more clearly.
INTRODUCTION OF EVOLUTION
The facts show that the living beings of our planetary inhabitants are so diverse that they are affected by the body structure, bodily functions, and behavior of every species (species) of beings. Although among t...
