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 cor...

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...

Google AIY voicekit

I found about the Google AIY voice kit on MagPi .It included a yellow button and a four daughter plug and a five wire plug , a voice hat , a microphone hat, tow stands to fit in the raspberry pi , the voice hat , and the speaker and two sets of cardboard.The only problem was that I couldn't find it anywhere online. Then one day I found Pimoroni.It was available there.I bought it straight away.Thanks to their very expiditious service I received it in a few days.I was very enthusiastic.I unpacked it .I had to fit the voice hat onto my own raspberry Pi.Then I had to follow the well thought instructions to make the box over the raspberry Pi.Then I had to burn AIY image onto a micro sd card.Burning it wasn't difficult .The only problem was finding time to work on it.I thought about it and decided to do it on Saturday. On Saturday morning I downloaded the apparatus onto the Raspberry Pi.I had to check the speaker and microphone .Then I had to enable a few different services.Then...

Observing Weather changes through RaspberryPi Sense Hat.

I am working on a project that will help gardeners take care of their plants . For the project , I  have used Raspberry Pi Sense hat, which can detect different weather conditions . To  observe the weather conditions , I have programmed it to detect the outdoor humidity  and  temperature changes . During a period of two weeks , I have recorded different weather  observations , which are as follows: 1- When the temperature was 28C and the humidity was 43% the Raspberry Pi Sense Hat  displayed a yellow colour on its screen which means “Sunny”, because it was true for the  condition when humidity is less than 50% and temperature is greater than 20C . 2-When the temperature was 18C and the humidity was 77% the Raspberry Pi Sense Hat  displayed a green colour on its screen which means “Nice”, because it was true for the  condition when humidity is greater than 50% and temperature is less than 20C . ...
