The rate of approximation of Crimea to Russia Crimea closer to Russia due to the displacement of tectonic plates that form the Crimean Peninsula. The speed of this motion is 32 mm a year, scientists have found the Crimean astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences, studies the movement of space objects and their relationship with tectonic processes in the Earth. “We have the ability to answer which objects move, and this allows us to determine what is happening with the tectonic plates and objects located in tectonic regions”, — said the Deputy Director of the Crimean astrophysical Observatory, doctor of physical and mathematical Sciences Alexander Volvach. Scientists studied the state of the tectonic plates and investigated the so-called retrobulbar, namely the Kara-Dag volcano, located in the South-East of the Crimea. To make accurate measurements allowed the newest equipment available to scientists. Studies in the Crimean astrophysical Observatory are

Billions of viruses are literally pouring all over his head Scientists have estimated the rate of movement of virus particles in the lower atmosphere. It turned out that at the height of a couple of kilometers through every square meter down moves to several billion viruses a day. An article with the results published in the journal International Society for Microbial Ecology Journal. The number of viruses is much surpass all other forms of life on Earth: estimates say there should be only around 1030 in the oceans. Biologists have long noticed that even in the most remote parts of the Earth to nearly genetically identical viruses. This fact could not explain so how do these life forms are not capable of such far travel. It would be logical to explain this by the fact that viruses move through the air, but how exactly is this process was not known.
