Less expensive. The cost difference between building a roundabout and a traffic signal is comparable. Where long-term costs are considered, roundabouts eliminate hardware, maintenance and electrical costs associated with traffic signals, which can cost between $5,000 and $10,000 per year.Roundabouts are also more effective during power outages.here long-term costs are considered, roundabouts eliminate hardware, maintenance and electrical costs associated with traffic signals, which can cost between $5,000 and $10,000 per year.

THE EARTH'S MAGNETOSPHERE. The magnetosphere is the Earth's magnetic environment. The Earth is a huge dipole (2-pole) magnet. The Earth's magnetic field is probably cause by its molten iron-nickel core. This magnetic field is aligned with the north and south poles, and has reversed many times during geologic history.
The thermosphere is an outer layer of the earth âs atmosphere, a series of five layers of gases, primarily nitrogen and oxygen, surrounding the planet. The thermosphere lies beyond the mesosphere and beneath the exosphere, stretching from a point about 50 miles above the earth to between 300 and 600 miles above earth.he thermosphere is an outer layer of the earth âs atmosphere, a series of five layers of gases, primarily nitrogen and oxygen, surrounding the planet.
