As we know from the state of our planet, there are still new things are discovered every day. In fact, on most of the oceans, still have not been explored at all. This was due to our limitations as human beings, the existence of technology that does not exist, so there is no limit to the depth of the ocean to explore. However, with ongoing research, every day we get hundreds of new species.
Rainforest animals and plants present new every human conduct exploration. Earth is constantly changing, shifting, and exposing new secrets for humans to marvel. It took many years and a lot of great ideas to solve the problem of the Earth's atmosphere much less space. All business, all the time, always giving new facts.
In this opportunity, I collected ten amazing facts about our home, maybe some of us do not / have not been realized.
1. Earth's atmosphere
Earth's atmosphere is very thin
Earth's atmosphere has many layers of coats, such as the mesosphere, ionosphere, exosphere, and the thermosphere. But the troposphere, which is closest to the Earth, which supports our lives, it has only the thinnest layer, which is about 16 km away.
2. desert
Sahara Desert
Believe it or not, most of the deserts on earth is not composed entirely of sand. Approximately 85% of the content is rock and gravel desert. Largest desert on earth, Sahara, fills about 1/3 of Africa (and growing) can fill almost covering the surface of the continental United States.
3. The earth is not round ..?
Bumi round
The fact, earth it turns out not true-completely rounded. This case is called oblate rounded the meaning it was slightly flattened on part top of and underneath.
4. ocean salt
vast ocean
If my friend could evaporate all the water from all the oceans and spread the resulting salt over all the land on Earth, then my friend would make a layer of salt as high as 150 meters.
5. Lakes or the sea ..?
Lakes such as sea
There is sea on the island is actually called a lake, but the lake is wide, the Caspian Sea is located on the border of Iran and Russia
6. highlands
Longest mountain in South America
Andes Mountains in South America is the world's longest mountain, which is 7,282 kilometers long range. Whereas the second longest mountain: The Rockies, Third: Himalaya; Fourth: The Great Dividing Range in Australia, Fifth: Trans mountain in Antarctica. For the record, for every 980 feet or 300 meters we climbed the mountain, the temperature will drop 3-1/2 degrees.
7. lakes in
Lake Baikal
Deepest lake in the world is in the former Soviet Union or the Lake Baikal. This lake has a length of 644 km, a width of about 48 km. Its depth was recorded over 1600 meters. Depth is sufficient to empty the water from the five largest lakes in the U.S. The Great Lakes
8. earthquake
A result Earthquake Bumi
If earthquake the earth occurred, severe damage can occur even up to deadly. Yet know comrade, every year actually occurs do not less than 1 million times the quake the earth, only a alone partially the magnitude of not was recorded.
9. The hottest on earth
Desert in Libya
Most people believe that Death Valley in California USA is the hottest place on earth. But the hottest temperature ever recorded apparently in Azizia Libya, temperatures have been recorded up to 136 degrees Fahrenheit (57.8 Celsius) on Sept. 13, 1922. Being in Death Valley, the highest temperature ever recorded up to 134 Fahrenheit (56.6 degrees Celsius) on July 10, 1913.
10.Dust in the wind
Dust storms
Experts from the United States Geological Bureau stated that approximately 1,000 tons of dust contained in the earth's surface wind rain falls annually.
Nah man, 10 facts above are part of the entire evidence in the earth. But actually the facts are still growing as the research progress achieved humans.
