Interesting facts

East Africa is at a critical breaking point: the crust is only 13 km thick, plates are moving apart millimeters per year, tension accumulated over millions of years accelerates fractures and could pave the way for the Indian Ocean to split the continent.

Science and Technology

3.5-billion-year-old rocks in Australia reveal that Earth’s crust was already moving early in the planet’s history, with displacement comparable to current plates, and indications that the process that creates mountains, oceans, and sustains life emerged hundreds of millions of years earlier than could previously be proven.

Science and Technology

Tectonic plates have been deforming the Earth for millions of years in the planet’s deep interior, and scientists reveal how these ancient structures continue shaping the mantle to this day.

Science and Technology

Earth is “pulling” water from the oceans into the core at nearly 3,000 km deep, and scientists finally explain how this slow and invisible process may be completely transforming the planet from the inside over billions of years.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.

A city has planted 880,000 trees and 2.5 million smaller plants since 2016, reduced the temperature by up to 3°C in some areas, and won an international award for using vegetation to combat urban heat in Colombia.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.

Florida begins sending robotic rabbits to the Everglades swamps, where they mimic prey, use cameras, AI, and sensors to attract and locate invasive pythons hidden in the mud and vegetation.

Brazilian family creates machine that transforms seawater into fresh water, produces up to 130 liters per hour, facilitates routine on vessels, and boosts family business along the country’s coast.
