Two landscape topics today:
1. Rivers: Do you ever wonder what’s at the bottom when you see one? The Savannah River is just as green as the Tennessee river, so full of algae I can’t see more than a third of a meter down.
I wonder what’s in those tropical crystal blue waters that seems to keep them algae free. Bleach!?
2. Mountains: Driving over the Appalachian mountains was a chore. Even the highway was full of twists and turns, and I had to juggle between annoying people by going too slow or making myself uncomfortable by turning too fast. In addition, my ears felt a mild discomfort as the air pressure changed. I was even thinking of going around the mountains towards Atlanta, even though that would make my trip longer.
What’s the highest point on earth that you’ve been to and how uncomfortable did it make you? Mine was Clingmans Dome (2025m or 6643 ft), a peak in the Appalachians that’s one of the highest peaks in the eastern US.
You ever feel the sun on your skin snd think how hot it feels? And it’s like a gazillion kilometers away. It makes no sense. It’s literally incomprehensible how hot the sun is.
It looks like AskScience here this morning!
What is your favorite fish that is under 10 cm?
