Earth's Interesting Facts

By Anne Carpenter 29 June, 2023 2 mins read

If you ever lived on Earth, there are probably a number of interesting facts that you remember. Some of these facts can be the age, the nearest planet, or the highest point.

70 percent of Earth's surface is covered in vast oceans. This isn’t just a coincident, it is an essential part of Earth’s makeup.

Earth is composed of a dense core made from iron and nickel that extends into the mantle, crust, and outer layer. The outer layer of mantle has a dense, rocky surface while the inner layer is soft and thin.

Earth's oceans are able to contain an incredible amount of water, even though its core and mantle is dense. This is only one planet in the solar system to do so!

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.

The Earth's atmosphere is rich in oxygen, an essential component of plant growth. It is one of three planets that have this characteristic. 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's age is 4.5 Billion years, making it older than the other planets in our Solar System. Scientists determine this by dating rocks and meteorites on Earth which formed at the time the solar system began to form.

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. They also use the rock cycle and the processes of plate tectonics to find out the age of rocks.

On the planet, a lot of sediment and rock is recycled. This means that they are broken down and pumped again up to the top. This is called plate-tectonics, and it's what helps shape the terrain of our planet.

Mountains, valleys. canyons. plains. and rivers. are among the most striking features of our planet. Some of them are natural while others are created.

Mount Everest is the tallest peak in the world, standing at 29,028 feet above sea level. The highest point of the Earth is Mount Everest.

The Earth is shaped like an oblate spheroid (a flattened sphere). It is because the equator bulges out and the poles expand as the Earth rotates.

This is a result of the rotation of the Earth and the gravitational pull of the Moon. The bulge can cause the sea levels to rise or fall when in full motion.

FAQ

What is the most secretive location in the entire world?

This question might surprise you. You might be uncomfortable with the truth of it, as it may challenge your perception of reality. But there is an explanation for why this place exists, and it's not what you would expect.

It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. In the Bible, it was known as the City of Destruction.

It is called Kashi (Kashmir in India). It is also called Novgorod in Russia.

Here in America, however, it is called The Village That Disappeared.

One small community in western New York State with 1,200 residents vanished without a trace. With the exception of a road marker pointing to its former site, there were no remains: cars, bodies, houses.

This tiny community disappeared without leaving any clues as to where it went or when. Some claim the earth swallowed it. 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 just moved to another city.

There is even a website dedicated to tracking the disappearance of the lost city of Zugspitz.

The question is, where did this place go? It's actually in Switzerland!

Zugspitze lies on the border between Austria and Germany. Just beyond the summit of the mountain is a huge lake called Lake Zugspitze.

I have always been fascinated by the fact that so many towns have vanished, but some remain. Is it possible that some towns disappear and others are preserved? I decided to investigate.

I wanted to know more about the mysterious disappearing towns. What is the secret to a town's disappearance? How can a town disappear from existence?

There are many theories regarding the phenomenon of towns disappearing. One theory is that a city disappears after all buildings have been demolished. Another theory is that the town moves to another place. A third theory holds that the town did not exist.

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 dark secrets do Hollywood have?

Hollywood is filled secret societies. Some are cult-like groups where members follow strict rules and rituals, while others are simply clubs for those who share common interests.

There are also other, more evil organizations that control large parts of the industry. 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/guilds also represent actors and directors as well as writers, producers, and so forth. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.

It doesn't matter how secretive a group might seem, someone somewhere knows what they are doing. But we don't have to fear them.

Instead, we should embrace them. Because they offer us information that can help us make better decision.

These people tell us what movies and songs will succeed, and which books will sell best.

In short, they help us decide what we'll buy, watch, read, and listen to.

We can trust their advice and we can ignore it if it contradicts our values.

They are more powerful than ever because we chose to ignore them. They are the supreme arbiters of taste.

If you don't like their words, you can choose to ignore them.

So now let's look at some of the lesser-known but still very real Hollywood secret societies.

You'll see why they are so important.

Five interesting facts about your liver.

The liver is responsible of breaking down toxins and storing nutrients. It also regulates blood pressure, and maintains our body's temperature.

How often do we hear someone say, 'I feel sluggish today' or 'my head feels heavy'? These symptoms may be a sign of liver disease.

Some common signs include dark urine, yellowing skin, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, stomach cramps, jaundice (yellow coloration), and itching. But these aren't the only warning signs. These are not the only warning signs. Make an appointment immediately with your doctor if they occur.

The liver, an essential organ, is vital. It plays a role in detoxification, digestion, metabolism, immunity, and reproduction.

The average adult human liver weighs approximately 1,400 grams.
At birth, the liver of a baby can be half as big as an adult's. It can grow to four times the size of an infant's liver by the age 3.
The liver can be found on the left side of your abdomen, just below the lower rib cage.
The liver is divided into 16 major lobes. However, there are many smaller lobules that are within these lobes.
The liver is home to approximately 10 million red blood cell units.

How does the brain control the functions of your body?

The brain relays messages to other parts of the body to ensure their functionality. Your brain controls all that happens in your body. It tells you your stomach to digest food; your lungs to inhale air; and it tells you your arms and legs how to move.

Your brain is composed of billions and billions nerve cells, connected in groups called neurons. Action potentials on Axons are an electrical signal that neurons send to each other. Every neuron has a cell wall around its nucleus. Inside the membrane are channels that allow ions such as sodium and potassium to enter and leave the cell. The neuron fires when there is ion movement.

Neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that release neurotransmitters when a neuron fires up, can be found in the space between the neurons and the next one. Neurotransmitters attach to the receptors of the second neuron and open ions channels for ions to pass in and out. As a result, second neuron fires as well.

Neurotransmitter production occurs when a neuron in the presynaptic receives an impulsive signal from another. The impulse travels along an synapse between the neurons. The transmitter binds to the receptors on the postsynaptic neural cell, which triggers the firing of that neuron.

Neurotransmitters are important for communication within the nervous system. They also help coordinate activity between different parts of the brain.

Statistics

A 2012 paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reported that people blink about 15 to 20 times each minute, meaning, if you do the math, you spend about 10% of the time that you're awake blinking. (romper.com)
According to a 2018 study published in Free Radical Biology & Medicine, this is because blood pressure is regulated by our innate circadian rhythm and internal clock. (romper.com)
In fact, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, you make 15 to 30 gallons of tears each year, which is insane when you think about it. (romper.com)
It might not sound like something that's truly plausible — and it is quite rare — but according to a 2015 study published in the Asian Cardiovascular & Thoracic Annals, it's possible to hurt yourself and even break a rib just by sneezing. (romper.com)
In fact, nearly 24% of U.S. women are affected with one or more pelvic floor disorders, according to research funded by the National Institutes of Health. (romper.com)
