Geography: Aeolus; the guardian of the Winds.
Hello dear steemians, this time I want to talk to you about a space mission of which I have been following for a couple of years in terms of its development and materialization, this interesting project that will be the first of its kind, will take care of the acquisition of wind profiles on a global scale with observations almost in real time. This space mission is named "Aeolus", which in Greek mythology was named "guardian of the winds" by the gods. Its objective is to understand the terrestrial winds. It is well known that climate has great influence in our lives, the fact of obtaining precise predictions are very useful because in extreme situations they allow to facilitate the pla...
Geology: Introduction to the Elements of Sedimentary Rocks
Original post by @the-geekiest-one
Two views of an unconformity in NW Scotland. Torridonian sandstones overlie Archaean high- grade metamorphic rocks known as the Lewisian Gneisses. Uplift and erosion occurred after formation of the metamorphic rocks but prior to deposition of the Torridonian mainly by ancient rivers. Thus, the Torridonian sits on an erosion surface produced by sub-aerial erosion in the Precambrian. Erosion has left isolated hills of the Torridonian surrounded by gneisses. Sedimentation is the final stage of the process which begins with weathering, proceeds through erosion and transportation of eroded materials to their site of deposition. Physical sedimentation is the deposition of fragments of eroded m...
Archeology: Funeral Mass of Athens, Yunani
Archaeologists for the first time shows a site that there are 80 human skeleton with wrists bound by iron fetters, and buried en masse in the cemetery of ancient Greece. A team of archaeologists say, dozens of human skeletons are expected to come from the year 632 Bce , and were the victims of mass executions. A horrible. But who they are, how they got there, and why they were buried in one mass holes, still remains a mystery. The skeleton was discovered earlier this year, in the most complex of the necropolis of Falyron Delta, a large anci...
