Desert Biome
The desert biome is characterized by low precipitation, a high rate of evaporation (seven to fifty times as much as precipitation), and a wide daily range in temperature. The dramatic temperature fluctuations are the result of low humidity, which allows up to 90 percent of solar radiation to penetrate the atmosphere and heat the ground during the day, then for this accumulated heat to be released back into the atmosphere at night. Precipitation in deserts, unlike other biomes, is highly irregula
Inside Earthquakes
Witness the destructive power of earthquakes, from home videos taken during a tremor. Video goes inside the Earth to show how an earthquake starts. Earth is covered by plates, when the plates are moved by the heat of the inner Earth, they grind against each other along lines called faults. When the plates motion is blocked stress builds up, finally the fault gives way. The released energy moves through the Earth called seismic waves. Sei
