Electron Precipitation Intends To Cause Ozone Depletion In Mesosphere
The phenomenon known as electron precipitation causes aurorae, which has been detected as the same reason to cause ozone layer depletion in the mesosphere. This depletion in the ozone layer can cause severe climate changes in the earth. The depletion can particularly occur during aurorae. Moreover, this has been found out by a group of scientists headed by Prof. Yoshizumi Miyoshi from Nagoya University in Japan.

IUCN Red List Marks All Freshwater Dolphins As 'Threatened'

Reportedly, the freshwater dolphin species include Ganga, Tucuxi, Indus, Irrawaddy and Amazon. While the Tucuxi was moved from data deficient to endangered, IUCN… read-more
