The future of the Earth

Already that decade, scientists all over the world are trying to predict with maximum possible fate of the Earth, taking into account the processes taking place there now. In doing so, modern researchers have to rely only on dry calculations and theoretical models, not having a good example. However, the team of astronomers NASA and the European Space Agency believes that in the future, our planet will be as two drops of water similar to the largest satellite of Saturn - Titan - in its current form . It is clear that Titan strikingly different from Earth today, but it can hardly be said about the Earth tomorrow.According to a specialist, stereoscopic images of the surface of the satellite, made this machine, show that there are at Titane mountains, and below them are twisting "drain" channels through which runs liquid methane falls as rain. But most interesting is that instead of the expected oceans on the surface of the satellite were found giant dunes, whose length on the plains reaches hundreds of kilometres.Rain in terrestrial deserts fall with regularity in several months. However for Titan, we can speak of hundreds and even thousands of years, which take place between the showers. Because the satellite is much farther from the Sun than Earth, it requires much more solar energy to evaporation and the creation of methane in the atmosphere semblance of rain clouds. The fact that a satellite of Saturn, there is methane cycle, similar of the water cycle in the Earth's atmosphere, according to scientists, makes Titan "in a sense, the best analogue of our planet.Basically, all the methane processes that we see on Titan, like the earthly processes, which are involved in the water. But it lacks Titan in the oceans, and one day suffer the same fate and our planet: high solar activity, coupled with global warming the planet Earth will make deserts.
