How muddy marshes can stop Global warming

"Muddy marshes" , could be the key to decrease carbon in the air ,which means stopping global warming.But , how do muddy marshes have the ability to store the carbon in the air?.

Well , when the plants that are over there die, they decompose, still they don't let out the carbon.In contrast, other plants release all of the carbon stored in them into the air.

The more water that goes on the marsh, the better it will store the carbon,because when it washes over ,then it gets a new layer to keep more carbon and keep the one that is already there stored.

There are also some threats to these marshes, like
sea walls, which stops the marshes from adjusting to how high the sea level is, which also means that it can't store as much carbon , if people stop putting up sea walls , then it will be great for the marshes.It can also be great for the environment.

The reason for this is that if it can reduce global warming , then it could mean cleaner air , preserving coral reefs and lots more.

Facts About Thames Barrier

The Thames Barrier which was built in 1984, protects Central London from tidal surges in the North Sea. It protects 125 sq km or 48 sqm of Central London. The Thames barrier was built, because of the Thames flood in 1928. The Thames river flooding destroyed lots of properties and 14 people lost their lives in the flood. So, the Environmental Agency came up with the idea of the Thames Barrier and its construction started in 1974. It is predicted that even with heavy rainfall and rising tides due to climate change it will still be able to protect London from flooding until 2070. There are three positions of the Thames Barrier to let the river water flow in a controlled amount. 1- The "Underspill position", of the barrier allows a controlled amount of water to go under the barrier, this position is used when tides get too

Lunar Eclipse 2018 - Fun Facts

On 27 July 2018, there will be a longest total lunar eclipse , during which the moon appear a lot bigger and also red.And the eclipse can be seen for the whole one hour. So ,what causes the moon to turn red?.This question baffled scientists for many years , but with new technology, it has been discovered that the moon turns red , when the earth blocks the light coming from the sun to the moon , it casts two shadows called the penumbra and umbra shadow . The penumbra gives of a blue light that deflects the red colour to the umbra which is the darkest shadow , since no light gets to moon , the deflected red colour cast a red colour on the moon. If the moon keeps on going round and round the earth then we should get a lunar eclipse every month.Instead , we get a lunar eclipse once every year.Why

Coolest Project UK 2018 - My Experience

This Saturday on the 28th of April 2018, I went to Coolest Projects UK, organized by Raspberry PI foundation in Here East, Stratford London.It was a long journey and the weather was very cold, but I was very excited to show my project to everyone. The event organizers registered and provided all the participants with a shirt and a lanyard with our name and projects name on them.Then, I was allocated to a table with my name and my project name on.Next to me, was a team of children that had made a Zombie Apocalypse project. My Presentation Table and Ninja Shirt There were four categories which included web pages, scratch, hardware and mobile applications.Many children took part in those categories.There were four brilliant Science Shows, I had the chance to attend two of them, hosted by Greg Foot and Neil Monteiro, who were the Science presenters. I also got to see 3D printers, speech to text machines and a camera
