The Power of Changes

Ask yourself, “Why is change so important in our lives?” if you think about it, not every change is positive. Sometimes, we feel it’s better for the people and the situations we are in, to remain the way they are. However, without change, there are life experiences we might be missing out on. Beyond our self-exploration, we should also consider that the world cannot possibly exist without going through necessary changes.

Like if we talk about volcanic activity and how it affects the integrity of the ozone layer. Volcanic emissions changes the balance between the amount of radiation Earth receives from the Sun and the amount of energy Earth Reflects back to space. We also noted how this change can eventually lead to the destruction of the ozone layer. And while this change can be viewed as something that the world is better off without. We should also remember its geologic e=importance in building the Earth’s crust. Volcanic activity is always good for farmlands, as it enriches the soil with rare minerals.

Next, we got to see changes at the microscopic level, as we looked at how a unique “bug” is able to pull a Midas trick on gold ores. Know s the Midas bug, we saw how this particular species of bacteria plays a significant role in the formation of secondary gold grains. We also got to discover the possibilities of this kind of information, especially in the field of bioprocessing and gold prospecting.

Ten, we explored the skies, and discovered how far from friendly if could actually be. When the conditions turn sunny to icy, we learned how pilots and aircraft personnel deal with flight hazards such a s in-flight icing. Currently, there are a number of tools and techniques devised to handle this problem but, any changes or modifications to up the safety factor, and of course with the help of technology, will always be welcome in the aviation industry.

Finally, we wend deep, 400 meters below the sea floor to be exact. We witnessed a change in perspective, as we learned about other processes aside from photosynthesis that can drive the survival of organisms. Deep-sea radiation, radiolysis, and natural radioactivity were just some of the new concepts we learned in this article.

Changes are happening all the time—around us and within us. Life is more fulfilling if we lean to accept changes, rather than resist it.
