Its most important protection is hidden beneath the surface: the shell material on the ventral side. This small creature is the ancestor of modern turtles, and its half-shell body provides important information about the sea turtle's body. Surprisingly, not one, but two separate shells emerge during sea turtle embryonic development; Both are derived from the animal's skeleton and are close to each other.

Surviving The Big Wave
A tsunami is a series of deadly ocean waves caused by an underwater earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteor impact. Any event that displaces a large amount of water will result in a tsunami. On average, the world will experience at least two of them causing minor damage to the coastal areas they hit with a devastating ocean-wide one occurring every fifteen years. They can happen in any ocean with 80% of them occurring in the Pacific Ocean around the “Ring Of Fire” region. Tsunamis kill more than 50,000 people in these minor events every year, and in some cases millions, if it’s big enough. November 5th is Tsunami Awareness Day, so here are some survival tips you can use to survive these gigantic waves.

A Journey to the End of the Universe
Our Universe is of an immense and inconceivable scale, marked by at least 70 sextillion stars, creating islands of light within the vast darkness. There are more stars in our Universe than there are grains of sand on every beach on Earth, a number so absurd it defies human understanding. Yet, in this universe filled with cosmic landmarks, there's an irony in the fact that concentrated matter is sparse and scattered.
