TIERRA DEL FUEGO. WEATHER AND CLIMATE. In spite of its incendiary name, Tierra del Fuego -as well as the rest of Patagonia- has low temperatures and strong winds, sudden changes of weather, going from strong winds to complete calm, or from sunny to rainy conditions being very common.
Theories of Color Vision. 1  In 1802, Thomas Young proposed that all human vision occurred through the combination of sensitivity to red, green, and blue. This theory, modified by Hermann von Helmholtz in 1852, came to be known as the Young-Helmholtz or trichromatic (three-color) theory of color vision.
Cones are less sensitive to light than the rod cells in the retina (which support vision at low light levels), but allow the perception of colour. They are also able to perceive finer detail and more rapid changes in images, because their response times to stimuli are faster than those of rods.
