The Sahara Desert
The Sahara Desert captivates our minds with its huge size and wilderness that has not been tamed as it seems that it is an ocean of sand across North Africa. It goes to an amazing extent of close to 9 million square kilometers making it the world's largest hot desert exceeding that of continuous United States. The name “Sahara” originates from the Arabic language which means “a desert” but it’s unbelievable that there is a complicated community sustained in these areas that seem like can’t be lived in.

What If the World Lost Oxygen for 60 Seconds
The Day the World Lost Oxygen: Alien Scenario A and Alien Scenario B Let us embrace ourselves and visualize every day in the morning, the familiar path along the street, when suddenly, our world around us starts to collapse. One building topples after another forming a pile of brick dust as if a house of cards was dropped, the sky is no longer impressive and livens but instead is ominous dark dulling, and the burning sensation literally is like breathing fire. This is the the all-out-apocalyptic end of the human race? The first thing you perceive is a quiz question. You struggle with the words trying to answer but suddenly, you are no longer there, you are gone with all the existence. Such a spooky scenario suggests what would be happening on Earth in the case of oxygen depletion for a minute and it does this perfectly.

The highest mountain in the world is not Everest
It turns out that there are two mountains, not one, that surpass Everest in height. Everest's towering height (8,849 m) makes the famous Himalayan mountain rank as the world's highest, however, in reality this is not the case, according toIFL Science. Mount Everest is the world's highest mountain above sea level, but there are several different parameters for measuring its height. Mauna Kea in Hawai'i is the tallest mountain from base to summit. Meanwhile, because the Earth's crust is slightly thicker at the equator, Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador is the highest if its peak is measured from the center of the Earth.
