FAQ

What is causing the late season snowfall in Oregon and Washington Mountains?

The late season snowfall is attributed to a shift in weather patterns and colder air masses moving into the region.

How are scientists monitoring the eruption potential following earthquakes?

Scientists are using seismometers to track seismic activity and changes in the volcano's behavior.

Why are firefighting efforts in the Arctic permafrost potentially counterproductive?

Firefighting efforts can disturb the delicate ecosystem and release trapped carbon, potentially leading to more frequent and intense fires in the future.

What are the consequences of dumping trash into the ocean?

Dumping trash into the ocean can harm marine life, pollute the water, and contribute to the global plastic pollution crisis.
