Japan Earthquake Could Have Been Predicted Days Earlier

On March 11th there was a giant earthquake that struck Japan with a magnitude of 9.0. This earthquake killed many people and also caused a tsunami which went right over Japan. Now, we have a scientist that said this natural disaster could have been predicted earlier. He says this for many reasons. One of the reasons was because of the atmosphere days before this event happened. The theory of this being how to predict it is called "Lithosphere-Atmosphere-Ionosphere-Coupling mechanism." What it means is that many gases are released, especially radon gas. Once this gas makes it to the upper atmosphere-ionosphere, the gas splits them into negatively charged particles and positive ones. These particles attract condensed water in a process that releases heat. This is how the earthquake and tsunami could have been predicted and how we might be able to predict these later in the future as well.

Nine New Species

The Bali Reefs could potentially be the home of nine new species. You would think that this is a very healthy reef but it is not. The reef is surrounded by sharks which could make it a dangerous to the new species. The nine species that were found were all interesting and cool animals. Also, many of the new species are related to the species right now. With the new species there was one species of a new coral and eight species of fish. Among the fish were, two types of cardinal fish, two kinds of dottybacks, a garden eel, a sand perch, and a fang bleeny. The new species of coral was an unknown Euphyilla bubble coral. Along with all of the animals here was many types of healthy coral. Only one out of every seven coral was dead. I think that this is a great place for the new fish and coral. The only fear that they should have are from the sharks that roam the reef. These are the new 9 species of fish and coral and the reef that they live in.
