In the reading passage, there are ample
support of the author's claim that there are three explanation about red rain
in india. However, the professor in the lecture gives several reason as
rebuttal to the author's point. First, the professor contends that it is
absurd that the reason of the red rain is bat's blood. five million amount of
the blood of bat will be need to have the red rain at the same time, but it is
not possible. Moreover, there are no remain such like bat's wing or bone. This
cast doubts about the reading passage's claim that bat’s blood is one factor of
red rain since many bats migrated over this area, and they were kill by natural
disaster.. Next, the professor insists that it is
problematic for red rain to cause by volcanic eruption in Philippines. If the
volcanic eruption in the Philippines that result in red rain in India, people
expect that Philippine would have been red rain. However it is not true, and
red rain only happen in India. This counters reading passage's claim that when
huge amount of cloud combined to acidic dust that carried by volcanic eruption,
it fell red rain because of the low PH. Finally, the professor argues that It is
highly unlikely that chemical pollution trigger red rain. This is because India
had a few factory, so they cannot have a lot of chemical things. Moreover, red
rain did not be seen in the major city that factories was concentrated. This
refutes the reading passage's suggestion that because of the factory that
having no filters, they had much more chemical pollution, and the pollutant
mixed with moisture, so eventually they became red rain. |
