Coriolis Effect ✍️
It explains why objects moving across a rotating world seem to curve from their straight path, even when no visible force pushes them sideways. Imagine throwing a ball straight across a spinning merry-go-round. To someone standing still outside, the ball travels in a straight line. But to someone riding the spinning platform, the ball appears to bend away from its path.
The same thing happens on Earth because our planet is constantly rotating beneath everything that moves. Air currents, ocean flows, and even long-range projectiles travel over a surface that is turning while they move. This creates the illusion of a sideways force, known as the Coriolis effect.
In the Northern Hemisphere, moving objects appear to bend to the right, while in the Southern Hemisphere they bend to the left. The effect grows stronger over larger distances and faster motions, but becomes almost unnoticeable in small, everyday movements.
Scientists use this effect to understand the spinning of hurricanes, the paths of trade winds, and the circulation of oceans. It reveals that motion is not always as simple as it seems when the ground beneath us is constantly in motion itself.

Companies join a #DeepSeaMining rush after Trump executive order, as regulators fast-track permits
Trump’s order suggests the U.S. will decide for itself when to mine the global seabed, reversing the decision of previous administrations to honor the seabed authority’s rules.
By HELEN WIEFFERING
Updated 3:11 PM UTC, May 22, 2026WASHINGTON (AP) — "In the year since President Donald Trump signed an executive order promising to create a deep-sea mining industry from scratch, businesses have raised millions of dollars from investors, stock prices have soared and federal regulators have raced to fast-track a permitting process.
"At least nine companies are in talks with the government for access to seabed minerals, according to an Associated Press review. Sections of the seafloor from #AmericanSamoa to #Alaska could be auctioned for offshore mining this summer and through the fall.All the action suggests the U.S. may soon give the green light for companies to commercially mine the seabed — something that’s never been done in international waters.
"But a close look at some of the companies involved reveals uncertain track records and histories spattered with legal disputes, while major questions about how the minerals would be processed and refined remain unanswered. Watchers of the nascent industry are skeptical the promised riches will ever materialize."

🌲 IA Positiva: El Guardián que no parpadea
¿Y si los árboles pudieran avisarnos antes del fuego? No es una pregunta teórica, es una infraestructura que ¡Ya está operativa!Mientras dormimos, hay una inteligencia que no parpadea. Hoy mismo, en diversas zonas de alto riesgo de California y Europa, redes neuronales entrenadas en visión computacional monitorizan millones de hectáreas a través de cámaras térmicas y satélites.
Lo disruptivo no es solo que "vean" el humo.
Lo que tengo bajo control operacional son los datos de respuesta: **0,02 segundos**. Ese es el tiempo que tarda el sistema en distinguir entre una simple nube de polvo, el vapor de la mañana o una columna de fuego incipiente. Es tecnología salvando el aire que respiramos y el hogar de miles de especies antes de que la catástrofe sea imparable.
Esto es la IA Positiva: no es un algoritmo frío diseñado para manipular tu atención o venderte publicidad. Es un escudo invisible que protege nuestros pulmones y optimiza la labor de los bomberos forestales, dándoles la ventaja táctica del primer segundo.

#DeepSeaMining causes immediate loss of #SeafloorLife
by Eric Ralls, February 5, 2026
"Far below the ocean surface, the deep seafloor is often described as one of the planet’s least disturbed ecosystems. That assumption is now being tested.
"Companies are preparing to mine mineral-rich #nodules scattered across the abyss. The shift raises urgent questions about how quickly damage could appear once #industrial machines begin operating.
"A new field experiment offers one of the clearest answers yet. Researchers found that a single trial of a deep-sea mining collector physically removed more than one-third of the animals and species living directly in its path.
"The results show that biological impacts can occur immediately, not only after years of full-scale extraction."

Beautiful #northumberland. This is my favourite walk on #planetearth. This was the inspiration for Eastwatch by the sea #gameofthones fans. The village of #Craster is at the other side of the castle. #dunstanburghcastle #newtonbythesea #dailypic
