    This all goes back to the hot water in my bath tub on a sunny day. Like the swimming pool water, but the hot tub water is hot, and the water more active. When I turned the faucet off and look at the flow of the hot water, u can see the water kneading itself like a flour dough. Some areas starts to form little cyclones for no reason

    @ArmChairMissions 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That is incredible!! I still don't understand, say heat and no wind causes a dustdevil. So, if someone started a fire mid day/clear/stale air-- would one be created?? It seems like the dust devil not only keeps the air dusty but if air doesn't really move, dustdevils are needed to circulate oxygen to the plants right? Or maybe it's nature's way of pulling in water because higher altitudes are cooler and cool weather brings down water and oxygen which animals/people and plants need?? And if dust is in the air then dust can hook to water otherwise dry heat and no dust creates no chance of life??? That's my theory

    • @ArmChairMissions
      @ArmChairMissions 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Or... It doesn't make sense for heat to create wind. What if hot areas suddenly hit water. Tornadoes are hot +cold so... What if super hot areas on the ground meet a giant ice cube that melts super fast. Could that make a dust devil???

      I'm Steve, the truck driver. We keep close track of wind direction, approach dust devils from the correct direction, have sensors out on booms and masts to remove any truck influence. But the fact is, most dust devils will pass over entire houses and not appear to be affected in the slightest. And terrestrial dust devils are EXACTLY the same process as those on Mars. But your hasty and shallow uninformed opinion is always, um, "valuable"...
