Seed Has More Tenacity Than Most Humans.

Unlike ordinary seeds, wild oats possess a unique mechanism that allows them to "move" upon touching the ground.
Equipped with twisting tendrils that act in response to moisture, these seeds can bounce, crawl, and even "walk" to find the perfect spot for germination. This incredible Hydroreactive Feature ensures they spread effectively, seeking out ideal conditions beneath the soil or hidden under stones. Witness the remarkable journey of these seeds, showcasing nature's ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of growth.

Why Is India So Freaking Hot?

Abhi to April may Jun baki h 🥲

> According to a report published by the MoES
https://www.moes.gov.in/sites/default/files/PIB1945036.pdf – India’s average surface temperature has risen by 0.7 °C between 1910 and 2018.

> similar warming has been observed in the sea-surface temperature in the tropical Indian Ocean by 1˚C for 1951-2015.

> The rise in temperature is gradual. The rise in extreme events is attributed to the complex earth system interactions due to global warming and regional anthropogenic influences.

>Pollution and rapid urbanisation are making the climate hotter than usual. Sometimes the temperature goes quite high, above 45°C at the peak of summertime.

> High humidity is also playing a part in the puzzle of India’s extreme summer hotness. In 2015, the most common cause of heatstroke in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana was a combination of high heat and high humidity.

>Urban heat Island - India is rapidly urbanising, with cities now housing 34% of the total population, a 14% increase since 1950. This is a level of urbanisation unprecedented in human history. This clearly has an impact on India’s weather patterns.

>Rapid deforestation has reduced the country’s forest cover, which has been a major concern for several decades. The impact of this rapid deforestation can be seen directly in the recent monsoon pattern changes. There are numerous reasons for India’s rapid expansion of deforestation. Among them are the need for agricultural land, commercial logging, mining, population growth, and so on.
