The mountain goat is one animal perfectly adapted for life in alpine regions (areas above the tree line). Its teeth can chew the toughest vegetation, and its hooves have hard, sharp edges with a non-slip pad in the middle so they can climb on the steepest of ridges.
Earthweek: solar storm
Earthweek: solar storm A gigantic solar flare disrupted high-frequency
communications on Earth. The flare sent a stream of charged
particles into the Earth’s atmosphere and these caused the
disruptions. Scientists reported that the disturbances would last
for 2 days before declining. They also warned that the power surges
caused by the solar storm could affect satellites orbiting the
Earth. These types of geomagnetic disturbance can also often cause
brilliant displays of both northern and southern lights. 10 JUNE 2000
