June 11, 2013
Why are three fogs over lakes?
Fog, dew, and clouds are all related. In fact, just one change in the conditions-such as the presence or absence of air currents-could make the difference as to whether there will be fog, dew, or clouds. Let's see why this is so, and why fogs appear in certain...

June 11, 2013
What would happen if there were no dust?

June 11, 2013
What is an artesian well?

400. Why do we have floods
