The highest natural ground surface temperature ever recorded may have been an alleged reading of 93.9 °C (201.0 °F) at Furnace Creek, California, United States, on 15 July 1972. [7] In 2011, a ground temperature of 84 °C (183.2 °F) was recorded in Port Sudan , Sudan. [ 8 ]
The Low Temperature Laboratory recorded a record low temperature of 100 pK, or 1.0 × 10 −10 K in 1999. [11] The current apparatus for achieving low temperatures has two stages. The first uses a helium dilution refrigerator to get to temperatures of millikelvins, then the next stage uses adiabatic nuclear demagnetisation to reach picokelvins ...
However, the most kept pet species are mammals, namely dogs, cats, and rabbits. [191] [192] [193] There is a tension between the role of animals as companions to humans, and their existence as individuals with rights of their own. [194] A wide variety of terrestrial and aquatic animals are hunted for sport. [195]
The microclimate of South San Francisco is dominated by wind from the nearby Pacific Ocean, which typically keeps the daytime temperatures quite cool year round, even during the summer months. January is the coolest month with August being the warmest month. The record highest temperature of 106 °F (41 °C) and was recorded on June 14, 1961.
Studies have found that eggs hatched at a temperature below 88.7 °F (31.5 °C) or a temperature above 94.1 °F (34.5 °C) will produce female offspring, while those at a temperature between 90.5 and 92.3 °F (32.5 and 33.5 °C) will produce male offspring. [136]
The West Montalvo Oil Field is a large and productive oil field on the coast of Ventura County, California, in the United States, in and adjacent to the city of Oxnard, California. Discovered in 1947, [ 93 ] it has produced approximately 50 million barrels (7,900,000 m 3 ) of oil, and originally contained up to 650 million barrels of oil in ...
Through 2018, humans have reduced forest area by ~30% and grasslands/shrubs by ~68%, to make way for livestock grazing and crops for humans. [ 108 ] The consumption of palm oil in food, domestic and cosmetic products all over the world means there is a high demand for it.
As the smaller animals have to live in hotter and more arid conditions to which they are less well-adapted, they take up a nocturnal lifestyle and drop their body temperatures during the day, whereas the devil is active in the day and its body temperature varies by 1.8 °C (3.2 °F) from its minimum at night to the maximum in the middle of the day.
