The plates are constantly spreading apart from each other at a rate of about two and a half centimeters per year. The friction from the shifting plates releases magma, which causes an incredible amount of heat to be released and work its way up to the surface. This is the catalyst to geothermal energy. ]]> 2023-01-14 07:35:16 UTC https://padlet.com/fededelv23/r3n87t1eki520jqj/wish/2444226120 fededelv23 https://padlet.com/fededelv23/r3n87t1eki520jqj/wish/2444226732 Iceland’s most popular tourist attraction is Gullfoss waterfalls (roughly 1,340,000 tourists in 2017). About 37,000 gallons per second come through there in the summer and about 21,000 gallons per second in the winter. There are over 10,000 waterfalls of all shapes and sizes throughout Iceland. Icelanders try to keep a balance between damming waterfalls for energy and also keeping them untouched for beauty, with 10,000 plus waterfalls and just ten hydroelectric plants. ]]> 2023-01-14 07:38:11 UTC https://padlet.com/fededelv23/r3n87t1eki520jqj/wish/2444226732 fededelv23 https://padlet.com/fededelv23/r3n87t1eki520jqj/wish/2444227569 In Iceland there are extreme geothermal activities going on under the surface throughout the entire country. The reason why Iceland gets the nickname of ‘the land of fire and ice’ is simply down to the volcanic and glacial terrains that continue to shape Iceland’s nature as well as heavily influencing Iceland’s culture.]]> 2023-01-14 07:42:16 UTC https://padlet.com/fededelv23/r3n87t1eki520jqj/wish/2444227569 fededelv23 https://padlet.com/fededelv23/r3n87t1eki520jqj/wish/2444228137 There are 4 main geothermal plants in Iceland. In the plants they convert the steam, that gets taken from the bore holes, in useful electricity. The steam enters the turbine and it starts to rotate, so that we can turn the rotation into electricity. Every turbine produces 45 megawatts wich is the amount that it takes to run 45,000 homes. The downside of this procedure is that the magma contains CO2 and also hydrogen sulfide; but in the plant they are taking most of this gasses and re-injecting them into the rocks, where it mineralizes, to form rocks. These plants make about 3% of what they would emit if they were run by fossil fuel.]]> 2023-01-14 07:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/fededelv23/r3n87t1eki520jqj/wish/2444228137 fededelv23 https://padlet.com/fededelv23/r3n87t1eki520jqj/wish/2444228686 Ljósafoss power station is one of 15 hydropower stations that all together generate 75% of Iceland’s electricity. It’s not about the strength of the initial it; turbines work with constant pressure ant that constant pressure produces electricity. The higher it falls down, the more you get out of it. ]]> 2023-01-14 07:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/fededelv23/r3n87t1eki520jqj/wish/2444228686 fededelv23 https://padlet.com/fededelv23/r3n87t1eki520jqj/wish/2444230360 The most typical food in Iceland involves fish, lamb, or Icelandic skyr (a type of yogurt).

Vatnajökull and Snæfellsjökull National Parks protect massive glaciers. Most of the population lives in the capital, Reykjavík, which is powered by geothermal energy. In Reykjavík are the National Museum of Iceland and the Saga Museum, which trace the Viking past of the island.]]> 2023-01-16 08:12:57 UTC https://padlet.com/fededelv23/r3n87t1eki520jqj/wish/2445336157 fededelv23 https://padlet.com/fededelv23/r3n87t1eki520jqj/wish/2825096550 The Magna Carta is a historic document, signed in 1215, that established the principle that everyone, including the king, is subject to the law. It was a response to King John's oppressive rule and aimed to limit the monarch's powers by establishing certain legal principles.
Despite it protecting only the nobles' rights and also being a failure, since the king couldn't keep his word, the Magna Carta is still considered a landmark document because of some of its clauses.
The main one, Clause 39, states that "no free man shall be arrested or imprisoned or disseised or outlawed or exiled or in any way victimized, neither will we attack him or send anyone to attack him, except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land." This clause emphasizes the principle of due process and protection against arbitrary authority, laying the foundation for subsequent developments in individual rights and the rule of law. Clause 39 is often quoted as a precursor to concepts like habeas corpus, emphasizing the idea that individuals have fundamental rights that cannot be violated without proper legal procedures.
That's why we can find its influence in other documents that are much more recent, like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen (1789), the American Declaration of Independence and Constitution or the European Convention of Human Rights (1950). Thus we can say that as much as the Magna Carta was not revolutionary for its era, it definitely set the tone for the declaration of subsequent laws.]]> 2023-12-14 11:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/fededelv23/r3n87t1eki520jqj/wish/2825096550 fededelv23 https://padlet.com/fededelv23/r3n87t1eki520jqj/wish/2841313569 In 1945, the United Nations Organization (UNO) emerged with a mission spanning international peace, human rights, and development. The evolving global landscape, marked by intricate political, social, and economic shifts, presents challenges and opportunities demanding a united, worldwide response. This collective effort must be anchored in the rule of law, a cornerstone for just societies and harmonious state relations.

For the UN system, the rule of law necessitates universal adherence to publicly proclaimed and equally enforced laws, encompassing respect for international human rights standards. This commitment entails measures ensuring widespread acknowledgment of legal supremacy, impartial application of the law, and transparent certainty.

Crucial to international peace, political stability, and socioeconomic advancement, the rule of law safeguards rights, curtails corruption, and checks power abuse. It serves as the societal contract between citizens and the State. Aligned with the 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), law-based societies are pivotal in achieving broader development objectives.]]> 2024-01-08 11:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/fededelv23/r3n87t1eki520jqj/wish/2841313569 fededelv23 https://padlet.com/fededelv23/r3n87t1eki520jqj/wish/2847336154 Sustainable Development Goal 16, focused on Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, urges United Nations member states to enact changes in national policies that not only advance Goal 16 but also contribute to progress on other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Emphasizing the significance of law reforms and a fair justice system, these elements play a crucial role in fostering trust in governments. This inclusive approach should address the diverse needs of individuals and marginalized groups. A vital aspect of sustaining peace is upholding the rule of law, necessitating a comprehensive UN approach that integrates politics, security, development, human rights, and gender equality. Strengthening the rule of law involves adherence to international norms, including those governing the use of force, with states recognizing their primary responsibility to protect populations from genocide, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes. Rule of law considerations extend to complex issues such as combatting hate speech, preventing radicalization and violent extremism, addressing climate change and environmental concerns, as well as navigating challenges posed by artificial intelligence and cybercrime.]]> 2024-01-12 20:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/fededelv23/r3n87t1eki520jqj/wish/2847336154
