'Unbelievable' 13 strange facts about the Earth

The truth is that Earth still contains interesting facts that not everyone knows.

Some interesting secrets of the Earth

The immense earth always contains countless mysteries in life. With many years of research, experts have summarized the amazing facts about the Earth that many of you have to "stand up".

1. The weight of the entire Internet is as heavy as . a strawberry

With some math, researchers have calculated the weight of our unlimited Internet world just . 50 grams. This weight is equivalent to a large strawberry .

In addition, if you only take into account the data and eliminate the current needed to maintain the Internet, you believe, the measured weight will be much lower.

2. The total biomass of all ants on Earth is equivalent to the total biomass of humans

It sounds incredible but this is the truth. We are completely overwhelmed in quantity. The current world population is about 7-8 billion people, and the number of more than 12,000 ants worldwide (except Antarctica) falls into . 10 million billion.

Thus, in terms of "force correlation", each of us must compare with about 1.5 million ants. An average adult weighs 70kg, while every 150 ants weighs about 7gr. Please try it out!

It is known that biomass is the total weight of living organisms in the biosphere or the number of living organisms per unit area, volume area.

3. The driest region on Earth lies in Antarctica

In fact, 98% of Antarctica 's terrain is ice, the rest is rock. But there is a place in Antarctica called 'drought valley ' because there has never been a single raindrop in the past 2 million years.

4. Birds can be seen from the school

The Earth's magnetic field is invisible in our eyes, but is " visible " in the eyes of migratory birds.

Scientists have shown that molecules in migratory birds' eyes have an association with an area in the brain that has a function of orientation, enabling them to easily " see" the Earth's magnetic field and fly to where it is. avoid cold .

5. The largest living creature on Earth is . a fungus

This mushroom bears a beautiful name - honey mushroom , belonging to Armillaria. Honey mushroom is now considered the largest species on Earth, found in the Malheur National Forest (Oregon State) with a surface area up to . 8.9 km².

Honey mushroom is a species that is harmful because it invades and destroys many trees. In 1998, many large trees in the Malheur National Forest, Oregon, died and the main cause was the fungus.

6. The world's gold source comes from the universe

You believe, almost all gold on Earth originates from space . Golden rains pouring into the Earth 4 billion years ago have helped our planet have many precious metals.

Golden rain lasts for 200 million years because meteorites collide with the surface of the globe. Experts estimate that gold on the globe may have covered the entire ground with a thickness of 0.5 - 3.6m.

7. The Earth used to have two moons

A professor at the University of California hypothesized that a "twin" moon existed several million years ago and it disappears after our Moon collision today.

He said: "The second moon is smaller and only exists for a few million years, it circulates around the Earth with the same speed and distance, until it collides with a larger Moon. other'.

8. The Earth is not really a sphere, it has a flat sphere

Earth is spherical but due to gravity, our planet is not a perfect sphere. In fact, there is a bulge around the equator and creates a flattened sphere.

According to scientists' calculations, the Earth's polar radius is 6,320 km, while the equator radius is 6,341 km.

9. 99% of the living space on Earth is the sea

The ocean is much larger than we imagined. It is home to thousands of different marine animals on Earth.

10. The whole country on Earth is 4.3 billion years old

Even the country we drink every day is very "old".

The whole amount of water on Earth is now being rotated continuously according to the cycle of water. This process has been going on for 4.3 billion years. Even water in our bodies comes from this "ancient" water source.

11. There is a place in the world that still believes that the Earth is a plane

There is a Flat Earth Society organization today that insists on believing that the Earth is flattened rather than a flattened sphere as we know it.

12. Five Great Lakes contain up to 21% of the fresh water on Earth

One of the Great Lakes in the United States

The Five Great Lakes are five large lakes near the US-Canada border . It is the largest freshwater reserve on Earth. However, this title can be completely erased when . two polar ice sheets melt at the current high speed.

13. A small spoon of matter on the star Neutron weighs more than 1 billion tons on Earth

Supernova explosion forms neutron stars

Neutron stars formed by the collapse of the weight of a large star after the supernova explosion took place. After this process, neutron stars are formed with a relatively small radius - about 12 km but carry on themselves a tremendous gravity, 1.4 times the Sun. Scientists compare this to stuffing the whole Egyptian pyramid inside a grain of sand.

With this enormous density of material, a teaspoon of matter on why neutrons also weigh billions of tons.
