Common vulnerability in Bangladesh List of Common vulnerability in Bangladesh Global warming Sea-level rise in terms of the number of people (a higher sea level means that the gradient of rivers will be reduced, resulting in slower drainage to the sea. This will be compounded by higher rainfall in the Ganges-Megna-Brahmaputra river basins and greater Himalayan glacier melts in the monsoon, resulting in more devastating floods.) In the top ten in terms of percentage of the population living in low-lying coastal zones Loss of coastal land to the sea in this vulnerable zone Displaced people Cyclones get more frequent and are likely to be more powerful A higher sea level…

1970 Bhola Cyclone The 1970 Bhola cyclone was a devastating tropical cyclone that struck East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and India‘s West Bengal on November 12, 1970. It was the deadliest tropical cyclone ever recorded, and one of the deadliest natural disasters in modern times. Up to 500,000 people lost their lives in the storm, primarily as a result of the storm surge that flooded much of the low-lying islands of the Ganges Delta. This cyclone was the sixth cyclonic storm of the 1970 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, and also the season’s strongest, reaching a strength equivalent to a strong Category 3 hurricane. The cyclone formed over the central Bay…

What are the Sources of Hopanoid Hopanoid lipids are largely confined to eubacteria although the knowledge of their phylogenetic distribution is incomplete. Both Gram-positive and Gram-negative eubacteria produce hopanoids. Hopanoids are relatively abundant in cyanobacteria, methanotrophic bacteria, and members of alpha-proteobacteria particularly the nitrogen-fixing eubacteria. Hopanoids commonly occur in bacterial strains with high guanine and cytosine characteristics of species that occupy stressful ecological niches. Sources of hopanoid and Biosynthesis Their abundance may vary in response to osmotic stress (e.g. high salinity, sugar, or ethanol concentration) which increases the greater membrane stability. Hopanoid biosynthesis does not require molecular oxygen, these compounds have not yet been discovered in obligate anaerobes. Hopanoids have…

K-Pg Mass extinction One of the ‘Five Big’ mass extinctions occurred at 66 million years ago at the Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary, marked by the extinction of dinosaurs and shallow marine organisms (Smit et al. 1980; Schulte et al. 2010. Only 12% of the land-dwelling forms but 90% of species in the freshwater assemblage survived, while marine plankton diversity and marine productivity decreased significantly except for the benthic foraminiferal species. An asteroid hit of about 12 Km diameter in size at Chixulab, Mexico is the widely known cause of the KPg mass extinction. K-Pg mass extinction However recent finding shows that Plume volcanism might be one of the causes of KPg mass…

Where can I get gold in nature? Gold is denser than any other mineral. Therefore, if you swirl a mixture of water, gold dust, and sand in a gold pan, the gold falls to the bottom first. Differential settling also occurs in nature. Many streams carry silt, sand, and gravel with an occasional small grain of gold. The gold settles first when the current slows down. Over the years, currents agitate the sediment, and the heavy grains of gold work their way into cracks and crevices in the stream bed. Thus, grains of gold concentrate near bedrock or in coarse gravel, forming a placer deposit. It was primarily placer deposits…

Assignment to write a Report on the Australian Bushfire in 2020 Bushfires are a natural part of the Australian landscape. Many plants need bushfires to regenerate, and many have adapted to the harsh conditions climate delivers. With such a vast country, just as the landscape changes from place to place, so too does the bushfire risk and the timing of the bushfire seasons. The bushfires experienced in the 2019-20 season have so far burned more than 10 million hectares of land in southern Australia, greater than the combined area burned in the Black Saturday 2009 and Ash Wednesday 1983 bushfires (D.J. Walsh, 2007). Causes of Bushfire in Australia: The Australian…

Clarification of types of building and their components To know the clarification of types of building and their components, firstly we should know what is building. A building as a shelter represents a physical division of the human habitat. The building is a place of comfort and safety and the outside (a place that at times may be harsh and harmful). Secondly, the building serves several needs of society. Finally as a shelter from weather, security, living space, privacy, to store belongings, and to comfortably living and work. So, we find many types of buildings around us. Clarification of types of building and their components Buildings have different sizes, shapes…

Earths heat will increase 50 times it is impossible to survive Scientists have repeatedly said that global warming is one of the most feared causes. They have also said global warming will increase nearly 50 million times over the next century. They have researched that all the normal laws of the world will change completely and as a result, the weather will change. It may be almost impossible for people to survive if the temperature rises so much. Scientists have warned that if the amount of greenhouse gases on Earth does not decrease at the right time, no one will be able to stop this rate of global warming. They…

How people can become millionaires by selling meteorites The US space agency (NASA) is recently carried out unprecedented research on a meteorite and the research has shown that this meteorite could make every human being on the planet a millionaire. The study said the meteorite was composed entirely of iron, nickel, and silica. If these present metals are sold, then every person living in the world will get more than 100 billion taka. NASA’s asteroid is named 18-Psyche. The amount of iron stored in this meteorite is so costly about 10,000 quadrillion pounds. That means 15 more zeros will sit behind 10 thousand. Can we imagine? According to NASA, the…

Hardrock Hardrock is commonly known as the basement or crystalline basement or consolidated rock. It is usually formed underground during Precambrian Era. Basically, Hardrock geology is the study of igneous and metamorphic rock.Age: More than 600 (or 570) million years.Example: Igneous rock: Granite, Basalt, Diorite, Gabbro, and Kimberlite; Metamorphic rock: Gneiss, Quartzite, and Marble. Basement/Crystalline basement rock Basement rock is the thick foundation of the oldest metamorphic and igneous rock that shapes the continental crust. Again crystalline basement rock is composed of minerals in a crystalline state. Engineering or construction stones Hardrock or dense igneous and metamorphic rock is generally known as engineering stone or construction stone. While construction stones…

The Reason Dinosaurs Still Survived Today! World-famous Scientists from Japan (Dr. Kunio Kaiho and  Naga Oshima) Claimed that Until today Dinosaurs might be Survived if the asteroid hit just different locations than the Chicxulub Crater of Mexico. (recently published in “Scientific Reports” journal) Dinosaurs Lived until 160 Million years with a supreme reign in their world. But, 66 million years ago their reign completely stopped due to an asteroid impact on the earth. The exact hitting location of the asteroid was in the Chicxulub crater now located in Mexico with a diameter of 160 km and wiped out 75% of the lives on Earth’s land and Marine including dinosaurs.

Geologists Need to Know the Details: What are Coal Type Hopane? What is Coal Type Hopane? A high moretane/hopane ratio commonly occurs in the immature organic matter regardless of the lithology of sediments when accompanied by the high maturity stage, it usually indicates terrigenous plant-derived organic matter. This pattern of hopane distribution is called coal type hopane. The high abundance of moretane is most probably related to acidic and oxic conditions in peat or coal-enriched sediments. Coal type Hopan is called because the ratio of Moretane and Hopan is much higher and this type of hopane anomaly is usual in the coal forming depositional setting in marine sediments, hence the…
