Friendshoring
It is a strategy where a country sources raw materials, components, and even manufactured goods from countries that share its values. The relocation of manufacturing, supply chains, or both away from China and other geopolitically risky countries to friendlier ones—has become a much-desired objective for Western companies.

Acequias, a network of water channels created by the Moors over 1,000 years ago, are being excavated and brought back to life to adapt to the crisis of climate change. The channels — called “acequias,” from the Arabic “as-saqiya,” which means water conduit — have made life possible in one of Europe’s driest regions.

Hunga Tonga is a submarine volcano located in the South Pacific. It is part of the highly active Kermadec-Tonga subduction zone and its associated volcanic arc, which extends from New Zealand north-northeast to Fiji.
Hunga Tonga and Hunga Haʻapai are small islands situated on the rim of a submarine caldera known by the names of the two islands.

The volcano erupted on December 20, 2021, and sent particulates into the stratosphere, and the eruption reached a very large and powerful climax nearly four weeks later, on January 15, 2022.
Scientists think that the cataclysmic Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption may be to blame for the early opening of the ozone hole above Antarctica in 2023
