Study Notes
Natural Sensation
- Ancient Egyptians relied on the Nile River for transportation and food, and the river's flooding was crucial for their livelihood.
- The Nile River's position has changed over time, causing ancient cities that once thrived next to the river to now stand in the middle of deserts.
- The Nile River migrates or shifts its position over time, resulting in significant changes to the surrounding environment.
Artificial Sensation
- Artificial sensors can detect changes in natural phenomena, such as:
- Temperature (thermometers)
- Wind speed (anemometers)
- Acidity levels of a river
- Atmospheric pressure (barometers)
- Water quality (turbidity sensors)
- Light intensity (light sensors)
- These sensors can help identify long-term trends, such as the effects of climate change, and predict future changes, like storms or seasonal shifts.
- Examples of sensor applications include:
- Tracking changes in temperature over many years to identify the effects of climate change
- Detecting changes in wind speed to determine if hurricanes are becoming more aggressive
- Measuring atmospheric pressure to predict upcoming storms
- Assessing water quality to determine if it's clear or murky
- Gauging the shift in the position of the Sun relative to the Earth to indicate seasonal changes
