50 years ago, researchers discovered a leak in Earth’s oceans
Oceans may be shrinking — Science News, March 10, 1973 The oceans of the world may be gradually shrinking, leaking slowly away into the Earth’s mantle…. Although the oceans are constantly being slowly augmented by water carried up from Earth’s interior by volcanic activity … some process such as sea-floor spreading seems to be letting the water seep away more rapidly than it is replaced.

New discoveries are bringing the world of pterosaurs to life
n an eat-or-be-eaten world, flight conveys a bevy of benefits. A creature that takes to the third dimension can more easily escape earthbound predators, dine off a much broader menu or drop down on unsuspecting victims from above. Flying also allows an animal to cover distance more quickly, forage more efficiently and find mates more easily.

What are the benefits of reading books?
1. Mental stimulation Like other muscles in the body, the brain needs exercise to keep it strong and healthy.

What If An Asteroid COLLIDED with Earth ?
If an asteroid were on a collision course with Earth, what would happen? While hundreds of space rocks fall through our atmosphere every year, most are small enough to burn up on entry, so there is little noticeable impact. However, throughout Earth's history, there have been several large strikes, and NASA has been conducting tests to see how prepared we are. Unfortunately, the results show that we are not ready. NASA estimates that every day, more than a hundred tons of dust and small particles fall to the Earth. On average, a car-sized object enters the atmosphere once a year and burns up, creating a fireball that streaks across the sky. Objects as large as a football field collide with Earth once every two thousand years, while a potential extinction-level collision is expected to happen every few million years.

Understanding Climate Change
If you've ever spoken about climate change anywhere on the internet, you've probably heard something along the lines of "Smarty Pants" like this. Changes in the climate are inevitable. Do you know what an Ice-Age is? I was told once that Antarctica had palm trees. Climate change caused by humans has been proven false. Presently assuming you're like me, this remark makes your eye jerk in that specific manner that possibly appears to happen while you're thinking about exactly the way in which hard you can smack your own brow without giving yourself a blackout.

Earth Moans
APRIL 11, 2020 BY [email protected] EARTH MOANS I wrote this poem on March 14, 2020. The world has not only been turned upside down, but twisted in so many ways, I feel it is trying to tell us something. Of course, we are not listening or are unable to discern what it is exactly trying to say. We are so busy living our lives that we can’t see what is dying around us. This is a study in contemplation when death comes to visit so unexpectedly, it leaves you breathless and breathing in sobs and stutters.

"Mysterious White Crater Discovered Above Mexican Terrain"
"Mysterious White Crater Discovered Above Mexican Terrain" On January 23rd, 2014, a mystery emerged that would take investigators from the deserts of Mars to the birth of one of the greatest civilizations on earth. There is an obvious crater in the landscape in Mexico, but what catches the attention of investigators is what's inside the crater. This white patch, which looks like ice, is unusual as it remains present all year round in Mexico. The mystery white crater is part of a cluster known as the seven luminaries, which, when viewed from above, mirrors the Ursa Major constellation.

Can a Secret Facility be concealed within the Antarctic Ice?
Can a Secret Facility be concealed within the Antarctic Ice? In remote Siberia, an area containing 88 unmarked medieval graves was found. Experts believe that the people buried there are distant ancestors of the indigenous Nenets people. However, the Nenets have no knowledge of the gravesite. The bodies were positioned facing the river, which is a significant feature in many cultures. Researchers wonder what the significance of this place is, as there are no written records. The mummified Boy, his incredible grave goods, and the other 88 graves are all that's left to bear witness to this mysterious people.

A day at the beach
The day has arrived for our family’s day at the beach. My parents have been planning our family holidays to the beach ever since the summer holidays had started. Of course, I’ve been very elated when my parents had made the announcement that we were going to the beach this Sunday coming. So last Friday evening, my dad took some time off early from work so that he, mom and I can go to the grocery store and purchase everything that we are going to need on our trip to the beach on Sunday.

One of the World's Richest Nations; Ireland
The bursting of the U.S. housing bubble in 2007 had a significant impact on Ireland. With the largest real estate bubble globally, housing prices plummeted by 56 percent, leading to widespread defaults and bank crises. The Irish economy shrank by almost 25 percent, and the country was on the verge of total collapse. However, a bailout from the IMF worth 67 billion dollars helped prevent a complete economic breakdown.
