More recently man has stressed the environment by making iron and tires in the automobile industry in large quantities. The carbon dioxide part of the smog can be reabsorbed into the ecosystem by plants. However, this process takes time and if we destroy large amounts of Rain Forest the plants will not be able to absorb the large amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. If I had a choice I would like to be in a forest surrounded by trees. Then most of the electrons flowing from the ground to the clouds would have many paths to follow.
Waterspouts are tornadoes created over water.
When the tornado touches the water the force can suck the water up off the surface making a spout. This is an interesting question, because Old Faithful was named for reliability, but in fact we can plot the number of times that the geyser erupts verses the amount of time from the last eruption from the eruptions over 2 weeks or so. Therefore, you can say that the average time between eruptions is 71 seconds, while the length of time before the next eruption depends on how long the duration of the previous one was. Of course we need both fat and calories. Children especially need fat during development.
