You may have interesting facts about Earth in your head if you've lived here before. This can include the planet closest to Earth, its age or even the highest point.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the Earth is that it's home to vast oceans filled with liquid water - 70% of its surface! This is not just a random coincidence. The oceans are an important component of Earth’s makeup. They are vital to life on Earth.
Earth is composed of an iron and nickel core, which extends to a mantle. The outer layer of the mantle is rocky and dense, while the inner part is very soft and thin.
Earth can still hold huge amounts of liquid water, despite its dense core and outer mantle. This is the only planet in our solar system that does this!
The Earth is also the only one with a powerful magnetic field that protects it against the sun's harmful radiation. This field is created by the nickel iron core of Earth as well its rapid rotation.
Earth's oxygen-rich air is another interesting fact. Plants need oxygen to survive. It is also the only planet with a layer that absorbs the majority of harmful UV rays from the Sun.
The Age of the Earth
Earth is thought to be around 4.5 billions years old. It's older than other planets that make up our solar systems. Scientists calculate this by dating the oldest rocks on Earth and meteorites that have been found on it, which formed when the solar system was forming.
Scientists have a few ways to determine an object's age, including radioactive decay. This is based upon the decay of 4 isotopes each of methane and nitrogen. Scientists can also determine the age of rocks by using the rock cycle, and plate tectonic processes.
Many rocks and sediments on our planet are recycled. This means they're broken down, and then pumped up again to the surface. This process is called plate tectonics and it helps shape our planet's terrain.
The most dominant features on the Earth are mountains, valleys. Canyons, plains and river. These are both natural and artificial.
Mount Everest stands at 29,028 ft above sea-level. The highest point of the Earth is Mount Everest.
The Earth's shape is an oblate (flattened) sphere. This is due the fact that the equator expands and the polar regions widen as it spins.
This is due to the Earth's rotation and the Moon's gravitational pull. The bulge is responsible for the rising and falling of sea levels when it's in full swing.
FAQ
Is there a Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list isn’t available for public viewing. We don't know the names. It matters because of this.
The secretive nature of the information is due to the fact that actors and directors on blacklist won't be in a position to find work. The studios would be out of business as they lose money. They would also cut back on their spending on movies. The blacklisted filmmakers would have fewer chances. This could lead to them going bankrupt.
This could lead to more victims.
If someone attempts to make an Oscar-winning movie, they may be asked to sign a contract stating that they will not speak out against their employers. For any producer or director that wants to be nominated, the same applies.
This is why you'll hear about directors being pressured by producers to take scenes out of their films. Or how directors threaten to walk away from projects that don't fit their vision.
This is why there is a Hollywood blacklist. If you make negative comments about your employer, it's likely that you will be unemployed. And that's not good for anyone.
The problem is that many people have been falsely accused. These people have had to fight to clear their names.
This kind of thing must stop before it can happen again. Everybody should be able to freely express themselves.
We need to get rid of Hollywood's blacklist.
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is full secret societies. There are many secret societies in Hollywood. Some are cult-like, where members adhere to strict rules and rituals. Others are clubs for people who share similar interests.
Some of the most powerful organizations in the industry are even more dangerous. There are companies like the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), who sets film ratings and the RIAA, which sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. Most major movie studios and television networks are owned by large corporations which own these various organizations.
The fact is that regardless of how secretive any group may be, someone somewhere knows exactly who they are. But that doesn't mean we should fear them.
Instead, we should embrace and celebrate them. Because they give us information that allows us to make better decisions.
They tell us what movies will likely succeed, what songs will be popular, and what books will best sell.
They allow us to make informed decisions about what we buy, watch and listen to.
We can trust them so we can ignore their advice when it doesn't suit our taste.
We choose to ignore them and they become even more powerful. They become the ultimate arbiters of taste.
They can be ignored if you don’t like what they have to say.
Let's now look at some lesser-known, but still very real Hollywood secret organizations.
And you'll understand why they're so crucial.
Which is the most secretive city in the world?
The answer to that question may shock you. You might be uncomfortable with the truth of it, as it may challenge your perception of reality. There is a reason this place exists and it's not as you might expect.
It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. It was called the City of Destruction by the Bible.
In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). It is called Novgorod (Russia).
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
A small community of 1200 people in western New York State vanished. A road sign pointing to the former location of the town was all that was left, except for a few bodies and cars.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some say it was swallowed up by the Earth. Others believe it was destroyed by a meteorite. Others believe that aliens took it.
Despite what may have happened, the people who lived in this once-thriving area are confident that their town will not be lost forever. They had just moved from one town to the other.
Even a website exists to help track down the disappearances of the lost city Zugspitz.
The question is, where did this place go? Well, it's in Switzerland!
Zugspitze is located on the border between Germany and Austria. The lake Lake Zugspitze is just beyond the mountain's summit.
It has always fascinated and astonished me to see how many towns have vanished but still exist. Why do some disappear while others survive? I decided that I would investigate.
I wanted to know more about the mysterious disappearing towns. What is the secret to a town's disappearance? What makes a place disappear?
It turned out that there are many theories about disappearing towns. One theory says that a town disappears when all the buildings are demolished. Another theory suggests that the town simply moves somewhere else. Another theory suggests that the town has never existed.
Theories aside, the fact remains that dozens of towns around the globe have been swallowed up by the ground. This video examines the past and present status of these areas.
What is the reason actors are blacklisted?
As an actor, rejection is much more common than for writers. If you're an actor, you'll probably get rejected a lot. It doesn't matter, because you will eventually find someone you love.
Actors have a lot of talent, so they can make a decent living almost anywhere. Actors don't really care about making money. Actors love to act and tell stories. If you are an actor, you will most likely put yourself out there.
Sometimes you may be told by the audition panel that you are too young, too old, or wrong for the role. Or you might audition for a movie and lose out to another person. It happens all the time.
Once you've been cast you might also be subject to criticism. Many people will tell you you look horrible or that you shouldn't be wearing make-up. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes your character isn't real or authentic and you will be criticised. Perhaps you play a homosexual man and everyone thinks that you're straight. Maybe you are a woman who is tough but cries often.
Maybe you are asked to change your vocal chords. Sometimes they ask for you to sound like a male or female. They will usually ask you to sound better.
It is best to ignore these criticisms. Actors feel like they've failed when told they did wrong. But they're not guilty of anything.
They were not born with the talent that would make them famous. They may not fit the bill sometimes, no mater how hard they try.
An actor can be blacklisted for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Some people think actors are lazy. Others believe actors cheat.
No matter the reason, it is important to remember that you will not be blacklisted if there are other jobs available. There are many roles available, and you will find them.
As long as you keep trying, you'll eventually succeed.
