Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard – the first people at the bottom of the Marian Trench
As someone rightly counted, there were a dozen or so people on the moon, we go for a walk on Mount Blank, like

Urbanization in more and less developed countries – phenomena
Urbanization in more and less developed countries is different. Let’s check how much and what the phenomena accompany it. How are cities usually
[...]
Atmospheric temperature – heat balance and albedo
The main source of heat and light on Earth is, of course, the Sun. However, what comes to us is only the part
[...]
Atmospheric temperature – temperature amplitudes
In the “Temperature in the atmosphere” series, we have already talked about definitions and records, heat balance and albedo, as well as the

Water cycle in nature, i.e. the hydrological cycle
The water cycle in nature/hydrological cycle is nothing but the circulation of water between the various spheres – earth, air, living organisms, soils

Atmospheric temperature – definitions and temperature records
Temperature is one of the physical quantities describing the average amount of kinetic energy of motion and vibration of molecules in the sample

Soil composition and its formation
The soil composition includes: soil (weathered), water (soil moisture, i.e. hygrococcal, membranous, capillary, gravitational and suspended, groundwater), air </ i> (soil air) and

Distribution and development of the world’s population
Human history begins around 190,000 years ago. Then Homo erectus became Homo sapiens. How many people were in the beginning, nobody knows. But demographers

Communication
Everyone can say more or less precisely what communication is. And depending on the dictionary, the definitions will differ. For the purposes of

Urbanization – components and stages of urbanization, i.e. the city’s life cycle
In the first association, we see urbanization as a process of creating a city, a density of people different from the village. This

History of urbanization development – part 1
Urbanization goes back to antiquity because then the first urban centres began to appear. The term itself comes from Latin: urbs = city,

History of urbanization development – part 2
In the first part, I wrote about ancient and medieval cities, which you can read about here: History of urbanization development part. 1

Road transport – highways
Highways are an increasingly common element of the landscape. Admittedly, we complain that there are too few of them, that drivers cannot drive

The composition and construction of the atmosphere
Who among us every day wonders what we breathe? Rather no one. Meanwhile, the composition and construction of the atmosphere can be fascinating,

Aeolian forms of terrain, i.e. wind carves – deserts and dunes
The terrain shaped by the wind is called aeolian. Deserts and dunes are the result of deflation (exhaust) and accumulation processes, but also

Mineral deposits and types of retention
Classification of mineral deposits The deposits are divided into three main types: magmogenic deposits hypergenic deposits metamorphogenic deposits Magmogenic deposits originate from magmatic

Rocks and minerals
In the Mendeleev table, we have 118 elements, of which our planet is more or less composed. Some are found in the lithosphere

Plutonism and volcanism
Plutonism As long as magma is underground, we are talking about plutonism. Hot masses squeeze into the environment creating magmatic intrusions. We divide

Types and distribution of volcanoes on Earth
You can read about the volcano structure, types of lava and igneous intrusions here. Types of volcanoes We generally divide the volcanoes into:
