Cloud Seeding May Help Sustain Ecosystem In Nevada's Red Rock Canyon

The video discusses the severe drought affecting Red Rock Canyon, impacting its ecosystem and wildlife. Efforts by Save Red Rock and the Desert Research Institute aim to increase precipitation using silver iodine crystals to help sustain the environment. Despite these efforts, the drought's long-term effects remain a challenge, but the initiatives may provide temporary relief for the ecosystem.

What is one of the main consequences of the mega drought on the Red Rock Canyon ecosystem?

• Expansion of marshlands

• Drying of Joshua trees

• Growth of suburban areas

• Increased rainfall

What is the primary goal of the cloud seeding efforts by Save Red Rock and the Desert Research Institute?

• To increase the number of clouds

• To create more rainbows

• To enhance snowpack for aquifer recharge

• To reduce the temperature

What method is being used to try and increase precipitation in the Red Rock Canyon area?

• Planting more trees

• Using silver iodine crystals

• Building more dams

• Drilling for water

Why won't the cloud seeding efforts completely solve the drought problem?

• They only work in summer

• They are too expensive

• They don't address long-term lack of storms

• They cause environmental damage

How can individuals contribute to the 'make it rain' campaign?

• By attending local meetings

• By planting trees in their backyard

• By donating through the Save Red Rock website

• By volunteering in the canyon
