NASA discovered a unique island with a growing shape


New delhi date. 27 September 2022, Tuesday

The US space agency NASA has spotted a small island in the south-west Pacific Ocean, hours after a volcano erupted near Australia. Earlier this month, the Home Reef volcano on the central island of Tonga began spewing lava, ash and smoke. Due to which the color of the surrounding water changed. But according to NASA's Earth Monitoring Workshop, a new island appeared on the surface of the water only 11 hours after the eruption. Satellite images of the island have also been taken in this monitoring workshop.

According to NASA, this newly formed island soon grew in size. On 13 September, researchers with the Geological Survey of Tonga estimated the island's area to be 4000 square meters, or about 1 acre, and its height to be 10 meters (about 33 feet) above sea level.

The size of the island has increased to 24000 square meters or about 6 acres on September 20, the researchers informed.

According to the US space agency, this new island has formed above the Home Reef seamount in central Tonga Island. But it was also said that this little island might not stay here forever.

NASA has stated that "the island is formed by submerged volcanoes and such islands only exist for a short period of time. Sometimes they last for many years."

A 12-day eruption of the nearby Late'iki Volcano created an island in 2020, but it was washed away within two months, according to NASA. While in 1995, the island formed due to the Aaj volcano remained for 25 years.

Image
Tech Myths of your mobile phones Busted We've integrated technology into our lives, just like the parts of our bodies. And as we perform various body functions, we keep trying different functions of our mobile phones as well. Some basic, while some out-of-the-box. Just like the resolution to every problem in your phone isn't simply restarting it, there are ample such myths which we don't even know about. Let's bust some tech myths: Signal bars don't indicate signal speed Signal Tower and Signal Bars (image: Envato Elements) Ever found yourself looking for a network by exposing your phone to multiple directions? Those bars next to the antenna towers in your phone surely decide how much network you're receiving but they don't decide signal speed. The signal bars show how much relatively more decibels signal the phone is receiving at that time. The next time your internet starts working slowly and the signal bars are all intact, you now know the truth ab...

Why is the temperature in Siberia, the coldest in the world, constantly rising?

Image
Moscow, July 22, 2020, Wednesday As soon as the name Siberia is mentioned, the image of freezing cold comes to mind. Siberia, one of the coldest regions in the world, is 600 times more likely to experience heat waves. The snow in Siberia is also about to melt due to the greenhouse effect. A team of researchers studied Siberian meteorological data from January to June 2020, including a day when temperatures reached 38 degrees. Temperatures in Siberia typically range from 10 to 17 degrees. Scientists from Britain, Russia, the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland joined the study on the impact of global warming on Siberia. These scientists, based on about 70 different models, explained that global warming would not have had such a dangerous effect if it were not for man-made pollution such as coal, oil and gas fuels. The change that has taken place in Siberia due to climate change happens once in 80 thousand years hence the very big event of climate change. Andrew, a scientist with th...
