I so like being right that I am telling you these are Popocatapetl and Nevado del Ruis.
Whoops:
Poas (Costa Rica): Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Washington warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 10000 ft (3000 m) altitude or flight level 100 . The full report is as follows: ONGOING VA EMS. to 10000 ft (3000 m)
Reventador (Ecuador): Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Washington warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 14000 ft (4300 m) altitude or flight level 140
Aha, do you know what, I live in the UK and the UK is still 12 hours ahead of these guys, as befits a seer and servant to the one true God Jehovah. It looks to me that I am telling you today, tomorrow’s news. Furthermore I am guessing a belt of violence is about to erupt around the Globe.
It looks like we’re in for stormy weather It looks like the Passover moon rising. I looks like the sacrifice on Saturday Night. Tonight the Lamb is given the deceiver I can see the bad moon rising I see trouble on the way I see earthquakes and lightning (well maybe not earthquakes) I see bad times portrayed.
Don’t go around tonight Christ sacrifices life, there’s a bad moon on the rise
Don’t fear hurricanes are blowing we all know the end is coming soon Don’t rivers over flowing Don’t the voice of rage and ruin
Don’t go around tonight Well it’s bound to take your life There’s a bad moon on the rise,
Hope you got your things together Hope you are quite prepared to die Looks like we’re in for nasty weather One eye is taken for an eye
Well don’t go around tonight Well it’s bound to take your life There’s a bad moon on the rise
Don’t come around tonight Well it’s bound to take your life There’s a bad moon on the rise
It’s not the voice of God it’s just a volcano. Actually starting with Pluto Veuns is going to align with each of the planets in sequence, one after the other this week or so. See how they run:
Pluto Sol Venus; Mercury Sol Venus; Saturn Sol Venus; Earth Sol Venus; Neptune Sol Venus; Jupiter Sol Venus; Mars Sol Venus; Uranus Sol Venus;
All in sequence each should produce a 6.1 or 2 magnitude followed in each case with a 6.3 or 4 Magnitude.
From https://qle.vivaldi.net/2025/04/03/whoops/ The dual on the bottom of this chart Low-985 and L-992 is Pinatubo and Nevado del Ruis I should have known.
Nevado del Ruis has always accompanied Pinatubo a few days later and not for as long but oftentimes, reaching the same plume heights usually. Pinatubo is going to arc with ascendancy in a few days, while Nevado del Ruis only sparkled this day or the 24 hours:
If they seem to generate extraordinary volcanic activity, I will chase them up. The problem is American date keeping is in the pits. Then again it is in there with the USGS. I suppose I could try both dates, September and April.
2022 September eruptions 2022 April eruptions Hmmmm this stuff is interesting:
Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai a Vei 5 or 6. Began December 20, 2021, with the largest explosion in January 2022 Bezymianny Russia 26 May 2022 sent ash to an altitude of 15 km, causing some disruptions to flights in the North Pacific, If they have a period of a month the Russian is likely. If I have the faith of a mustard seed all I need is patterns. Would the Russians listen to a Jehovah’s Witness?
> 16th of April a storm will make the news. so whilst I wait, let’s see 11 or 12 days is it?
Lats have another look at Popocatpetl, I am pretty sure it is going to erupt big time just waiting, do you think we can find out when, if?
You can move this ephemeris weeks ahead. The signal for major eruptions is when a sequence of alignments match up:
Just change the dates and press the update key-button. I did start looking for it and thought I had found it a few months ago, ah well, we all make mistakes. Live with them, they will keep your feet on the ground.
Guilty of overconfidence, I did not see what is not there yet.
Gulled by the fine weather I was enjoying life as usual unaware things had jumped a day:
From Thursday to Wednesday.
2nd April, Midnight:
Midnight Wednesday:
I might have seen this elongation above but I was sure it was on time, then I missed this:
It was slightly north of expectations and one day ahead of the date I gave.
And there it was gorne!
So what happened at noon on the 2nd?
Yesterday I posted about a storm development in the Antarctic circle called the Southern Ocean that causes storms, big ones tend to come two or three at a time then paid no more attention.
Pay attention always pay attention especially when you are not paying attention. There had been a large quake in New Zealand on the 25th March.
I all fairness to me my computer chose to go on strike for a day or so just before the major disaster in Burma. Everyone was attracted to that especially the fake news and why ever not. If it bleeds it leads!
These things tend to pile up in certain regions, making disaster relief a problem. Especially for the dark lords of misrule who never miss a chance to shout out about acts of God. Good thing we can rely on USaid instead.
Or we could before they took the suspect to court: https://youtu.be/XjGLWAME1GU
Not my video, the richest man in the world: Elon Musk insists it is the biggest scandal of.all.time. And it ends the questions about chariots from the King of the North invading all the countries in the prophecy of Daniel chapter 11. (Which chapter is speculation) Other parts, including the identity of the end-time king of the North and the end-time king of the South, are yet to be fulfilled. These unknown portions of the prophecy have been sealed “until the time of the end” (Daniel 12:4) Not a publication of JW.org: https://lifehopeandtruth.com/prophecy/understanding-the-book-of-daniel/daniel-11/
But no less interesting. A land of the decoration at one time, could have been considered Israel under Moses, just a mobile force of scouts and exiles, no different to the looters and pillagers that took Joseph to Egypt in the first place. Was Egypt ever the land of the decoration? It certainly had God’s blessing at one time.
Then as Moses died Joshua took over and the Israelites entered Canaan was that the land?
That Commonwealth of Moses lasted until the death of Solomon, who went silly in his old age. Just like Joe Potato. The followed a line of Kings in Samaria and Judah the Assyrians took the apostate kingdoms of that area into exile leaving Judah as the remaining land of decoration, here true worship was sometimes practiced.
When I first got involved with Christianity, not christendom but the Jehovah’s Witnesses I was looking at the bible but making no sense of it:
““At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through. He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon” (Daniel 11:40-41).”
This especially makes no sense. But now as we are looking at completely different whirlwind, it is starting to clarify in my head. Just not quite yet. Daniel 128 Now as for me, I heard, but I could not understand; so I said: “O my lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”9 Then he said: “Go, Daniel, because the words are to be kept secret and sealed up until the time of the end.
This last bit is all I get from the first bit. there as so many Kings and Princes and them and theys, it might all be leftist/Democrat gobbledegook.
y computer is not behaving impeccably which seems to occur more and more regularly with local eruptions these days I must get a copy of Linux before it is too late
Etna (Sicily, Italy): A phase of intense strombolian activity occurred at the Southeast crater during the past night. Starting from around 10 pm, incandescent ejections were seen at the crater and rapidly increased into near-continuous activity. The activity lasted for several hours and gradually decreased in the morning and during today. During the peak phase, ash plumes were generated that rose to estimated 1-2 km above the summit area of Etna. Volcanic tremor had started to increase in the afternoon and formed a peak in the high range, in tandem with the intensity of this activity. The episode was more or less a replica of past week’s activity (on 28 Mar), and resembles the many lava-fountaining episodes (paroxsms) of the SE crater in the past decades, except that it did not reach a proper lava-fountaining stage, but remained as (rapidly) subsequent strombolian explosions. …3 Apr: The Sezione di Catania – Osservatorio Etneo (INGV) reported continuing activity at Etna during 17-23 March. Weather clouds often obscured views of the summit area, though during a few clear periods gas emissions were observed rising from the summit craters and Strombolian activity was observed at SE Crater. Strombolian activity at various vents in SE Crater began around 2225 on 19 March. Explosions ejected material a few tens of meters above the crater rim with coarse material falling back into the crater. The intensity and frequency of the explosions gradually increased until about 1430 on 20 March and material was ejected onto the flanks of the cone. The activity gradually decreased and by 1745 explosions were no longer visible in webcam images. … [read more] …2 Apr: The Sezione di Catania – Osservatorio Etneo (INGV) reported continuing activity at Etna during 17-23 March.

Soit was only Etna after all. This isn’t:
Welcome to Popocatapetl: Popocatépetl (Central Mexico): Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Washington warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 19000 ft (5800 m) and growing.
Boy oh boy that was a journey: https://qle.vivaldi.net/2025/03/31/lil-sweeties-almanac/
Noon 3 April 2025
Only for the day noon to midnight, then it disappears. Low-990, Low-989 at the foot of the chart but look at Iceland and the coast of Canada, Low 981 and Low-985 a lot deeper than the Lows near the coast of Africa. Not deeper; rather a larger pressure-area, in each case, there again the lows in the north are not duals.
I have the impression that duals occur immediately before an earthquake or no more that a few days before, that is. So by Midnight on Thursday we are due for a large earthquake. The only problem is we don’t know where it will be: 7.0M. 73 km SE of Pangai, Tonga 2025-03-30 12:18:47 (UTC), the 6.6M. central Mid-Atlantic Ridge 2025-03-28 17:17:27 (UTC,) 6.7M. Burma (Myanmar) 2025-03-28 06:32:04 (UTC) or 7.7M. 2025 Mandalay, Burma (Myanmar) 2025-03-28 06:20:52 (UTC.)
2025-04-04 11:42
So it looks like it will be before noon on Thursday that we have a large earthquake generated by the torque between Uranus Sol and Mercury. They line up at noon but the earthquake will precede that. It will be followed immediately by increased volcanic activity. Now all I have to do is be correct.
I Love being right about these things but I am not certain about this time. The duals I am used to, hang around for a while, usually. Maybe it will be a powerful quake or it may be that the volcanic activity starts immediately. Something is odd.
The dual is gone by the next chart but he volcano is in full eruption mode: Low-989, the other one escaping to the west Low-1007 and filling to Low-1011.
To begin at the beginning we have to learn something about tides. First of all they are not caused by the moon in any way imaginable. The Earth has captured the moon it can not wrestle its way out of the Earth’s grasp, because it is buried deep below the surface, over three thousand miles I believe. (3106.856 miles, 500 kilometres) If the moon were causing tides the earth would be lifted many feet in the air all around the planet until everything had become waste, which is what the Earth really was when Jehovah God started working on it. Baricentre:
“The barycentre of the Earth-Moon system is the centre of mass between the Earth and the Moon. The two bodies orbit this point between them. The baricentre is located within the radius of the Earth around 5000 km from the centre of the planet. As the Moon’s orbit evolves to move the body farther from the planet, the baricentre also moves away from the centre of the Earth.
The ratio of masses between the Earth and Moon (1:81) is much larger than those for all other planets in the solar system (<1:4000) making the baricentre unique among the planets.”
It is as if Jehovah has given mankind the commission to explore outside the planet even into outer space. Coupled with the thoughts about eternity he confides in all out hearts, this has made us greater than all the beasts and put us, only slightly below the majesty of Angels.
Rather that destroy the planet twice a day he provided it with an alternative sanitation, gently watering it everyday sometimes twice a day in order to keep it forever fertile and produce good things in their season. Caressing us with God given rains. Would you like to know how?
6.3M. Pacific-Antarctic Ridge 2025-04-02 00:29:22 (UTC) this is one of the many points of contact he declared for us to control the tides, allowing international trade and the ability to meet and make new friends unimagined, never mind unknow. Looks to me like Earth Venus Sol and Neptune. Possibly one before the other: 6.1M central Mid-Atlantic Ridge 2025-03-28 00:34:21 (UTC)?
My fault for not catching it; if it is the one. I was expecting them to be in the same basin and more or less the same day. Whatever the due date is the 17th. Unfortunately it is not in the Southern Ocean per se, It depends on one’s point of view. As purely scientific interest a quake setting up a seiche of similar magnitude in the middle of the Atlantic, will make an interesting comparison:
Rew-edit dues to a closer look revealing that the quakes due to Neptun took place one after the other. Perhaps someone with a better ephemeris could take a look at things.
And exactly 14 days later a tropical storm will be unharnessed into the atmosphere. It will start with the Gyre that works its way north from the Arctic desert eventually arriving at the ocean basin where it will operate. With the gentle rocking motion of a seiche hundreds of miles in diameter the centre will form a focus spiral, a ring of water which carries the product to shore as a tropical storm. In the New Worls which is still subject to the last week of creation the storm will work its way occasionally into the American mid west to produce tornadoes. Winds capable of ripping trees down and laying waste thousand of miles across, rendering only fit for feeding beasts.
Very few people could survive in that land. It was a place of Princes at one time, only the bravest warriors could consider it home. That is why they still keep the memory a legacy as: The Home of The Brave. There used to be a tradition that when a young boy was big enough to look after himself, he would be given a commission to walk alone in that wilderness and not come home without a food offering for his family, the boy’s family was a tribe of wild indians. So it would be a big job carrying a buffalo home. That is why they called them By Son.
Today, with all the divorces in America it is called Fed Ex.
But seriously on the 16th of April a storm will make the news. It won’t be in America unless it also destroys property in the Philippines and the China Seas first. But it is a big storm and won’t come alone I suppose there is generally two or more such events to break them down into lesser (manageable) disasters. Get ready you have been warned!
Enough of the geriantics, yes I am getting old enough to see the funny side of these things the American have paid for and so far ignored. It is sad really when you think that the politicians making a fortune out of these disasters will never be brought to justice except by Jehovah killing them off if he chooses to. I suspect that they will have to wait for their resurrection after the thousand years as nobody will want them. (Then again they are only disasters to those not wishing to deal with disasters.)
What will that quake do in the niddle of the Atlantic I have no records of Central and South American eruptions following middlish-to-large earthquakes in the middle of the Atlantic but I presume the output of a number of them will be contumely, so to speak. The thing is you now have just under a day to find out whatever data might be interesting for instance: List large quakes in the Mid Atlantic.
This is where I started. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_20th-century_earthquakes
This is where I started.
Of course there was no Wikepdia than, there were barely Internets and I was just banging around in the dark getting rusty and covered in dust dirt and nails, like you do.
Then there was light and I said hello, give me more of this.
My internet in those days was reels of microfiche/ fake news
I was suffering divorcitis. Unknown to me I was living in isolated splendour just too poor to see it. God was feeding me bread from heaven with real birds. Have you ever eaten that stuff?
It does not go down well or easy. I kept asking, he kept giving only I was asking all the wrong questions just like you do. Sooner or later you wake up, I forget most of it. Snippets come back with stuff like this. Not bad memories, just missed chances.
I eventually got out of the boat and started walking, through the storm, you have to hold your head up high and not see where you are going mostly. Anyway, I am here now. Let’s get started.
It is Monday evening, 31st March and I have taken my tablets. This first chart shows 30 days of earthquakes to date, they include 4.5 Magnitude ones. Ideal for showing swarms
White ones are the older; Yellow ones newer and the brown ones, yesterday’s. Red ones depict today’s dates, only there have not been any red ones at the time. Here comes a problem:
I need to get a list of all the major earthquakes for a certain set of dates. I do not need the fake news version. My problem is they used different methods of calibration back then, that is what I thought. Magnitude 7 earthquakes 1900 to 1910, take a look how crap these results are: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Magnitude+7+earthquakes+1900+to+1910&t=vivaldi&ia=web.
This is going to be an epic post, I assumed I’d be done in the afternoon. I was on dialysis earlier and short story eased by not telling it, they let me out after a briefing. Things seem relaxed but pear shaped. I should continue to continue taking my time. Jehovah God is in charge of what time I have left. Good enough for me, lets get it done.
The USG archives is a powerful Agency, all the better now under Elon Musk’s crew of modern day Iagoes, Iago is a famous Shakesperian character, a plotter aginst the Donald?
But I had a dog called Iago that was my shadow. No man ever had a more remarkable or faithful pet. If President Trump is served as well as Iago served me he will do fine.
1900 to 1910. Only one missing, 6.7M. at Severnay Zemlya. Ten years of 6.5 to the maximum, earthquakes, compared to 30 days of 4.5 to maximum, is very similar. The epicentres are all in corresponding regions from the Southern Ocean to the Arctic.
It tends to bulk things up, maybe I should adjust the tools they give us but we can all do that if any of us can. I am no expert. What you see it what you get to work with until someone better comes along. 0.5 is a large number for earthquakes; 0.1 is one whole magnitude. Why they have to write them that way is not up to me.
1922-01-01 00:00 to 1932-12-31 23:59:59. It is important to remember these are not swarms as with the 30 day periods from the top chart. These are part of a decade the Indian Ocean pair south of Madagascar are one year apart, one orbit of the earth not one orbit of any other planet.
How about 30 decades of charts from just these large quakes. Let someone else follow your legacy when you re gone. We are deep into the last days of the first week of creation. The King of the South has retaken his place 4 years after the King of the South attacked him with chariots of fire. I am serious this is Biblical.
Let me ask you a serious question: Is there sulphur in heaven?
Revelation 19:19-21 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies assembled to wage war against the One seated on the horse, and against His army. / But the beast was captured along with the false prophet, who on its behalf had performed signs deceiving those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. Both the beast and the false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. / And the rest were killed with the sword that proceeded from the mouth of the One seated on the horse. And all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
Where did birds com from and the sword in the mouth of the bloke on the horse?
Its a picture, a cartouche like Egyptian writing. You have to read between the lines you have drawn. It is the same with chapter 11 in the book of Daniel:
Legacy Standard Bible “And at the time of the end, the king of the South will collide with him, and the king of the North will storm against him with chariots, with horsemen, and with many ships; and he will enter lands, overflow them, and pass through.
Amplified Bible “At the end time the king of the South will push and attack him (the Antichrist), and the king of the North will storm against him with chariots and horsemen and with many ships; and he will enter countries, overwhelm them and pass through.
Jw.org says the same thing“In the time of the end the king of the south will engage with him in a pushing,* and against him the king of the north will storm with chariots and horsemen and many ships; and he will enter into the lands and sweep through like a flood.
It also says a red tribe will survive as a remnant: He will also enter into the land of the Decoration, I don’t know where that is, God knows… and many lands will be made to stumble. But these are the ones that will escape out of his hand: Edom and Moʹab and the main part of the Amʹmon·ites.
Edom is Gaza today but in Bible times Edom was the descendant of Esau, brother to Jacob. Already a might man by the time Jacob returned with his family. Esau had wasted no time getting married, not working as a slave the way Jacob had. After that Jacob escaped and by his return Edom was extremely wealthy. Adam clay soil. This is as close as we get to today and the King of the South if this is the day.
Derived from the Hebrew word “adom,” meaning “red,” the name is intrinsically linked to the story of Esau, the twin brother of Jacob. According to biblical accounts, Esau was born with a reddish complexion and later traded his birthright for a meal of red lentil stew, further cementing the association with the color red. This vivid imagery not only provides a memorable origin story but also underscores the symbolic significance of the name
I saw it last night so it’s not an artefact. It is a twin volcano otherwise known as a dual. I’d like to get a name for them. They appear across the divide called the Mid Atlantic Ridge and they are likely to stay, whatever, I must be able to get a record of them.
Walking it back the weather clears up after this probable earthquake and eruption ends.
This one probably Nevado del Ruiz (Colombia): Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Washington warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 22000 ft (6700 m)
I have the idea there is no clear explanation of the NAO. It is something the word’s navies are even uncertain about. For me the change came with a quake I once tried to forecast on Reddit. Ir should have been a Magnitude Seven but it was a lowly Mag six and I was embarrassed about it, even though nobody had ever forecast a quake online as far as I knew.
For a long time after that I noticed there was a distinct lack of earthquakes in the region of 7M. and over. I attributed the lowering of the magnitudes to the periodicity of the North Atlantic Oscillation.
In other words when the North Atlantic stops the Planet having extra large earthquakes we are in for a dettled Period that is only broken by a very massive volcanic upheaval. I expect that this was the eruption at Tonga: Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai in 2022.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai eruption and tsunami
Satellite animation of the initial ash plume and shockwave on 15 January 2022
I am not getting involved with subduction zones, suffice to say I can not agree with Weggener or anything of the sort of science these so called scientists teach. If they were any good at their jobs they would be able to forecast earthquakes by now. I had noticed that som earthquakes had since then began hitting the top range or magnitudes but I never gave it any thought. I shall now take a look at things. to make sure I can still do my job. It would be nice to retire but I can’t see it happening.
I have learned something I had not known, I suppose I should be content with that. Anyway since the canaanites began calling fire out of heaven and used it on the Branch Davidians under Bill Clinton at Waco Texas, in fact since the democrats began using nuclear weapons against mankind in the 1940’s anything Teslaesque such as the Huchison Effect is beyond archival reckoning, weatherwise.
Perhaps I should look for data earlier but the sciences of Seismic measuring was pretty hit and miss under earlier calibrations. Talking about Tonga:

Martian dust storms can vary in scale from local to global, affecting the planet’s climate and visibility. Here are some notable Martian storms:
2018 Global Dust Storm: Blocked sunlight reaching the surface and covered Opportunity rover’s solar panels, leading to its end of mission; may be related to a peculiar energy imbalance recently discovered across the Martian surface.
The solar system’s planets and moons absorb energy from the sun, but they also emit energy back into space. The difference between these two is called the radiative energy budget, or REB. “The REB and its spatial distribution [across latitudes] directly influence the thermal characteristics of the surface and atmosphere” of planets, this means a planet’s Radiation Energy determines its climate.
There’s “an energy surplus in the tropics and an energy deficit in the polar regions,” said. Earth’s annual REB is largely balanced, with the amount of solar energy absorbed roughly balancing the heat radiated little known Marian REB, has not determined if it is balanced. Theory suggests it should
Two weather patterns that tend to occur every year on Mars known as “A” and “C” storms. Observations from the Mars Climate Sounder instrument aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter over eight Mars years (15 years on Earth). |Astronomers Pieris and Hayne looked for periods of unusual warmth, weeks when more sunlight filtered through Mars’ thin atmosphere.
Roughly 68% of major storms on the planet were preceded by a sharp rise in temperatures at the surface. In other words, the planet heated up, then a few weeks later, conditions got dusty. Mars might wait for clear air to get to form major dust storms. The team can’t prove that those balmy conditions actually cause the dust storms. Similar phenomena triggers storms on Earth. During hot summers in Boulder, Colorado, for example, warm air near the ground can rise through the atmosphere, often form towering, grey clouds that signal rain.
2007 Global Dust Storm: Affected NASA’s Spirit and Opportunity rovers, causing them to go into survival mode for several weeks. Mars is infamous for intense dust storms, which sometimes kick up enough dust to be seen by telescopes on Earth. Michael Smith, a planetary scientist at Goddard “Every year there are some moderately big dust storms that pop up on Mars that cover continent-sized areas and last for weeks at a time,” “Once every three Mars years (about 5 ½ Earth years), on average, normal storms grow into planet-encircling dust storms, ‘global dust storms’ to distinguish them,” unlikely to tip or rip apart major mechanical equipment. The strongest Martian storms top out at about 60 miles per hour, less than half the speed of some hurricane-force winds on Earth.
The atmosphere on Mars is about 1 percent as dense as Earth’s atmosphere. To fly a kite on Mars, the wind would need to blow much faster for the same intensity. Individual dust particles on Mars are very small and slightly electrostatic, so they stick to the surfaces they contact like Styrofoam particles dust settling on and in machinery is a challenge for engineers. Dust devils only a few feet across (much smaller than traditional storms) can move enough dust to cover the equipment, sweeping dust off his solar panels to ensure maximum efficiency would represent a real challenge to astronauts.
Large global dust storms put enough dust in the air to completely cover the planet and block out the sun, ending the storm. Larger storms typically only happen during summer in Mars’ southern hemisphere. Mars’ orbit is less circular than Earth’s; the planet is closer to the sun and significantly hotter in the southern hemisphere radiative heat forces are strongest then.
Once started, bigger storms can last weeks to months. “We’re overdue for a global dust storm and it could be saving up a really big one this year,”
2019 North Polar Dust Storms: Captured by ESA’s Mars Express, showing Earth-like cloud patterns and cellular convection. Mars Express has revealed that Mars churns up surprisingly Earth-like cloud patterns.
ESA’s Mars Express has revealed that Mars churns up surprisingly Earth-like cloud patterns that are reminiscent of those in our planet’s tropical regions. Earth and Mars have vastly different atmospheres. The dry, cold atmosphere of Mars is composed almost entirely of carbon dioxide while Earth’s is rich in nitrogen and oxygen. Its atmospheric density is less than one fiftieth of Earth’s atmosphere (equivalent to the density found at about 35 km above Earth’s surface) their cloud patterns have been found to be surprisingly Earth-like.
This stuff leads to a blief that hey relationship between Martian Storms and bad earthquakews may be related. All I have to do is prove it, wouldn’t it ne nice if it could give us advice about disasters before they occur. Not only a means of salvation but an indication of our desire to extend REden heavenwards might be acceptable t.o Jehovah.
And, there’s more.
