- Is plate tectonics necessary to life on Earth as we know it?
- When the first nuclear submarine, the Nautilus passed under the North pole in 1958, how did they know there is enough room for it between the sea floor and the bottom of the ice?
- Does a volcano erupting reduce the pressure in other nearby volcanos, or is each magma pocket independent?
- If someone were to be bit in the face by an animal with rabies would they experience symptoms more quickly?
- What correlation exists between a negative COVID-19 test and contagiousness?
| Posted: 02 Oct 2021 11:52 AM PDT There's an ongoing experiment in Florida involving mosquitos that are engineered to breed only male mosquitos, with the goal of eventually leaving no female mosquitos to reproduce. In an effort to extinguish a local mosquito population, up to a billion of these mosquitos will be released in the Florida Keys over a period of a few years. How's that going? [link] [comments]  |
| Is plate tectonics necessary to life on Earth as we know it? Posted: 02 Oct 2021 07:59 PM PDT Could a planet that is not tectonically active still support life? I have no idea what role plate tectonics plays, if any, in supporting life on Earth. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Oct 2021 04:11 PM PDT It was occasionally a close call, so did the Captain of the sub knew in advance the gap's size and that the sub has enough space? Edit: After learning more about the Poles, the correct answer is that there is no continental shelf under the North Pole and the Arctic sea's depth is 4.2 km there. The ice is only about 2 meters thick so there is plenty of room. Due to global warming during the summer months, it is occasionally iceless now. But getting there is another issue. The Nautilus had to give up its approach once because in the Bering Sea the ice's thickness was 18 meters and the sea floor was too high up due to a ridge, thus it didn't have enough room. The second US submarine (USS Skate) reaching the North Pole breached the surface by breaking through the ice. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 02 Oct 2021 01:42 PM PDT Saw a post about rabies and some of the comments talked about rabies spread through the nerves to get to the brain. So if someone were to be bit in the face would they experience symptoms faster since the face is close to the brain? [link] [comments]  |
| What correlation exists between a negative COVID-19 test and contagiousness? Posted: 02 Oct 2021 07:53 AM PDT Specifically, if an individual were to take one of the COVID-19 tests available at pharmacies, like BinaxNOW and similar, get a negative result, does that mean, even if they have, hypothetically, recently been exposed, they don't (yet) have the viral load necessary to be contagious, otherwise the test would have been positive? Or is the test measuring something that is completely distinct from anything related to an individual's contagiousness? [link] [comments]  |
