Blue inland waterways have turned into" milky orange juice", which is worrying scientists.
Rivers and streams in northern Alaska's BrooksRange are dramatically changing color because of minerals exposed(暴露) by melting permafrost— the permanently (永久地) frozen ground found around the North Pole and the SouthPole.
The color change has been recorded in a new study published in Nature Communications: Earth and Environment.
A team of researchers have studied the murk y (浑浊的) waters. They have found 75 places affected by the orange color. They are worried it could affect drinking water and the number of fish as the climate continues to change.
"The more we flew around, the more orange rivers and streams we started noticing, " said lead author Jon O' Donnell. "There are certain sites that look almost like a milky orange juice. Those orange streams can be toxic(有毒的), but might also prevent fish from swimming to spawning(产卵的) areas. "
Mr O' Donnell first noticed the issue in 2018 when he found a river that appeared rusty, which had been clear the previous year. From then on, he started collecting water samples in the area, where helicopters are often the only way to reach the rivers and streams.
Brett Poulin, an assistant professor of environmental toxicology at University of California, Davis, said one thing explained the size of the problem. "The orange rivers are so big we can see them from space, " he said.
What is the color of the rivers and streams like Just imagine what is usually seen with acid(酸)mine drainage(排水), although there are no mines in the area.
One theory is that melt ing permafrost is exposing rocks that include metals to water and oxygen, resulting in the release of acid and metals. One of the most dominant(首要的) metals is iron. That's what's causing the color change.
16.Where can permafrost be found (List at least two places)
17.Why are researchers worried about the orange water
18.What is the color of the rivers in Alaska similar to
19.What metal is believed to be causing the blue water to turn orange
20.Do you think the water problem is serious Why or why not

Scientists have found what they believe could be the deepest blue hole in the world
A team of researchers tried to measure the depth of the ocean hole known as Taam Ja' Blue Hole (TJBH), in Chetumal Bay off North America's Yucatán Peninsula.
They found the hole is at least 420 meters deep, but they failed to reach the bottom after the measuring equipment they were using became stuck. The measurements make TJBH at least146 meters deeper than the previous record holder, the Sansha Yongle BlueHole, or the Dragon Hole, in the South China Sea, which measures 302 meters to the bottom.
In a recent study published in the scientific journal, Frontiers in Marine Science, the researchers wrote that the bottom of the blue hole could be home to sea creatures that have never before been seen by humans. Blue holes are vertical (垂直的) marine caves that were carved over thousands of years by glacial (冰川的) run-off during the Ice Age, according to Discovery. com.
However, since these holes are filled with the gas hydrogen sulphide (硫化氢) and have very little oxygen in them, they can be dangerous for people to visit unless they have special diving equipment. The difficulty exploring these holes means not much research has been done on them.
While TJBH was first discovered in 2021, scientists only measured its depth down to 274 meters due to limitations in the echo-sounder technology, which used sound waves to measure speed.
During the latest expedition, the state-of-the-art device measures and sends water data to the surface in real time using a cable that goes down as far as 500 meters. But the cable stopped at 421 meters, possibly because it hit a ledge(岩架) or was affected by underwater currents, and the team wasn't able to hit the bottom of the hole. The scientists said they hoped to hit the bottom on their next excursion.
In the report, the researchers said they believed that the bottom might have a system of caves and tunnels that could possibly be home to undiscovered life forms.
21.How deep is the blue hole named TJBH
22.What is the blue hole
23.What dangerous gas can be found in blue holes
24.What could be at the bottom of TJBH according to the researchers
25.What do you think of the scientists' excursion to blue holes

What if you could change the plastic spoon you used at lunch into a cup for your water and then change it back to a spoon That is what researchers at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering had in mind. 31.
The magical material is made up of polymers (聚合物). The researchers heated the plastic only to low temperatures(around 60℃) and then cooled it rapidly. 32.
To test the plastic, they first made it into a spoon strong enough to scoop up peanut butter. 33. After that, the fork was changed into an adhesive(黏合剂), which then became a small claw to pick up objects.
The team published their study in the journal Science on February 1, 2024. The current plastic does have some limitations(局限). Its shape-shifting ability stops working after seven times. 34. But the engineers are unsure how long it remains suitable for reuse. However, they said that once ready, it would be extremely useful, both on the earth and in space.
35. Now plastic items have to be carefully sorted before recycling. If the pluripotent plastic is widely used in the future, all items could be processed together. This would make recycling a lot easier. More importantly, it could help reduce the amount of single-use plastics that end up in our landfills(垃圾填埋场) every day.
A. They created a material called "pluripotent(多能性的) plastic". B. The plastic holds its shape for at least a month. C. It allowed them to create different objects in no time. D. The spoon was then changed into a fork to pick up cheese. E. Also, it opens the door to different ways of plastic recycling. F. If you have this one material, you can turn it into many different things.
