The Mediterranean Sea was once completely dry — about 5.6 million years ago, the connection to the Atlantic Ocean was closed by geological shifts, and the entire sea evaporated into a massive salt-floored basin two miles below sea level, which remained empty for roughly 600,000 years before the Strait of Gibraltar reopened and the Atlantic refilled it in what may have been the largest waterfall in Earth’s history
Why Do Coins Have Ridges?
For 400 years, sailors crossing parts of the Indian Ocean have reported patches of sea glowing pale white from horizon to horizon, until satellite imagery finally captured the phenomenon and suggested it is likely the light of trillions of microscopic bioluminescent bacteria switching on at once
Paleontologists in New Mexico have just dug up a two-legged, beak-mouthed reptile that looks almost exactly like a small dinosaur — except it lived more than a hundred million years before any dinosaur evolved that body plan, and it wasn’t a dinosaur at all, but a distant cousin of modern crocodiles
There are more trees on Earth than stars in the Milky Way. A major global estimate put the planet’s tree count at about three trillion, while NASA gives the Milky Way’s star count as roughly 100 to 400 billion.
The oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere is essential to almost every animal alive today — but when it first started accumulating in the air roughly 2.4 billion years ago, it triggered the most lethal pollution event in the planet’s history, wiping out the vast majority of species alive at the time, in what biologists now call the Great Oxidation Event

US degree now costs more than a 2BHK in Bengaluru and Gurgaon – How parents are prioritising
Everyone with ordinary inherited blue eyes appears to share a common ancestor, probably someone who lived around 6,000 to 10,000 years ago, when a tiny genetic switch near the OCA2 gene reduced brown pigment in the iris — meaning blue eyes, as we know them today, may trace back to one ancient mutation.
AI Is Reshaping Classrooms. Are India's teachers getting the support they need?
A rainbow is not actually located in any specific place in the sky — every person watching the same rainbow is seeing a slightly different one, formed by different raindrops, and if two people stood next to each other looking at the same rainbow, the rainbows they are seeing would be technically different, with no two viewers in the world ever sharing the exact same rainbow
