Taking a Sharpie marker to the map
Do you have a globe in your home? Well, it’s time to break it out. Spin it over to Asia, and try to find the Aral Sea. I’ll give you a hint: it’s on the border of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, east of the Caspian Sea. What color is it on your globe? It’s probably blue, [...]
Living on a giant crusty earthen raft
So, there’s been a lot of earthquakes lately. Haiti back in January; Chile, last weekend; Japan, back in February; California, constantly for about the past month; and Taiwan yesterday.
