FAQ
Is there a more mysterious place than the Earth itself?
Antarctica is one of the most mysterious places on Earth.
Why do we find this place so intriguing? Because it is unlike anything else on Earth.
It is remote and difficult to reach. This site has more to it than meets your eye.
You'll also find the strangest species of wildlife in this natural wonder.
So let's explore how this remarkable destination became famous for its mystery.
Antarctica: The South Pole
No one knows exactly why Antarctica was named Antarctica. Some believe it refers to "land of ice". Others believe it comes from Greek mythology.
In ancient Greece, Antarktis was the name given to the island where Zeus' twin brothers were born. According to legend, one twin was born in winter. The term antarctic is derived from this.
Others think the name came from the Greek words anti, meaning against, and tropos meaning turn. This would mean that the land was turned away by the sun.
Whatever the reason Antarctica holds a special fascination, people have always loved it.
It is the driest, windiest of all continents. It is too cold to support trees, plants, and animals.
Yet, the frozen desert is alive with life.
It houses approximately 90% of all Earth's living organisms. Here are approximately 50% of all the animal and plant species in the world.
What is Antarctica? Here, water is frozen into ice rather than vaporizing into the air.
This causes large masses to form of ice which float high above the ground.
These glaciers are responsible for covering 80% of the continent. These glaciers are getting larger each year.
The Antarctic Ice Sheet has grown 60 feet in the past 60 years.
The sea level will rise up to 200 feet if melting continues. This could lead to massive flooding across the globe.
Not everyone believes this is bad news. Some scientists believe that global warming can be beneficial. They suggest that rising temperatures could cause ice sheet melt faster, leading to floods that flush out toxic chemicals from soil and bodies.
Others, however, warn that this theory sounds almost like a plot for a science fiction film.
What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
It may surprise you to hear the answer. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is an explanation for why this place exists, and it's not what you would expect.
The ancient Greeks called it the City of God. In the Bible, it was known as the City of Destruction.
In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). It's also known as Novgorod in Russia.
It's called The Town That Has Disappeared here in America.
One small New York State town with just 1,200 people vanished. It was abandoned without any remains, including no bodies, cars, or houses. The only thing that survived was a road sign, which pointed to its former location.
The little village vanished, with no trace of its existence. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others claim a meteorite strike destroyed it. Still, others say aliens took it away.
The people of this once-thriving community, however, are positive that the town won't disappear forever. They had just moved to another town.
There is even a website dedicated to tracking the disappearance of the lost city of Zugspitz.
So where is this town? It's in Switzerland.
Zugspitze lies on the border between Austria and Germany. Lake Zugspitze can be found just beyond the summit.
I have always been fascinated by the fact that so many towns have vanished, but some remain. What is the difference between some towns that disappear and others that survive? I decided to investigate.
I wanted more information about the mysterious disappearing of towns. What is the secret to a town's disappearance? How can one place become extinct?
There are many theories to explain the phenomenon of disappearing towns. One theory holds that a town disappears if all its buildings are demolished. Another theory suggests that the town simply moves somewhere else. A third theory claims that the town never existed at all.
No matter what theories you may have, there is no doubt that many towns across the globe were swallowed by the ground. This video examines the history and current status of these places.
Have you ever wondered how much trash is produced worldwide each day?
The United Nations estimates that the average person generates more than 2.5 pounds of waste each day. This adds up to over 25 million pounds of garbage annually!
The majority of this garbage ends up in incinerators or landfills. But what happens when the dumpsters become full? It goes to the United States, where most of it is exported. The rest is dumped abroad, where it pollutes other ecosystems. Now, we know the exact location of all this garbage. His name is Mike Sexton. He owns a company called Waste Watchers. He spends his time watching trucks hauling trash around North America. He reports back to us about the next steps.
Sexton said he enjoys his job. CNN asked Sexton if he thought it was a lot of fun. "We often see large rigs passing through our town and we will follow them. "Sexton started following truck driver almost 20 years back.
"It's all I felt," he stated.
Sexton's favorite story was about a driver who stopped at an abandoned gas station in Los Angeles. "The guy was looking for someplace to put his load," Sexton recalled. "He drove along the road and saw this structure. So he backed up and went inside. "There were two enormous roll-off containers filled with stuff. The man got everything out of the truck and began filling it up again. "The man looked around the area and decided to unload all of it. There were a bunch of old tires, rags, furniture, mattresses, boxes, bottles, cans, and whatever else. "It was just an absolute mess. But it was cleaned out before he came. There wasn't any trash anywhere."
Why did this happen? Well, the answer is that this particular location used to be part of a recycling center.People who learned about this facility would drive here to recycle their trash. Sexton explained, "They would bring their household goods and take them here," and they would then empty the containers.
This can happen hundreds of times a week. It could happen hundreds of thousands of times a week. The truck eventually stops running because it has become so jammed with junk. The owner eventually abandons the vehicle.
Trash isn’t the only problem we face on the planet.
These tiny plastic particles make up the majority of the particles. Some end up in incinerators or landfills. Some are washed into rivers and oceans. Others end up with fish in their stomachs.
Experts warn of a possible global food crisis if nothing is done. Experts warn, "If you keep going like you're going," we could soon face a global food shortage. But most people don't seem to be worried, even though scientists are unanimous in warning us that the world is heading towards disaster.
How does the brain regulate the functions of the body?
The brain communicates with other organs to ensure their cooperation. Everything that happens within your body is controlled by the brain. It tells your stomach to digest food and your lungs to breathe air; it tells your arms and legs to move.
Your brain is composed of billions and billions nerve cells, connected in groups called neurons. Neurons communicate by sending electrical signals, called action potentials, on axons. Every neuron has a cell wall around its nucleus. Channels within the membrane allow ions such potassium and sodium to enter and leave the cells. The electric charge that causes the neuron's fire is created by ion movement.
Neurotransmitters, chemical substances that are released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters bind with receptors on the second nerve cell, opening ion channel channels to allow ions in and out. The second neuron also fires.
Neurotransmitter release occurs when the presynaptic neuron receives an impulse from another neuron. The impulse travels along the synaptic pathway that connects both neurons. The transmitter binds to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, triggering the firing of the postsynaptic neuron.
They are vital for the communication between nerve cells. They coordinate brain activity among different parts.
