Earth contains fascinating marvels which never cease to arouse our curiosity. Through every finding, we come to realize the level of complex ecological systems all around us. Here, we will seek to learn more about our amazing planet and the nature that surrounds it!There is no other creature bigger than a Blue whale as it can reach up to 100 feet long and weigh over 200 tons.These marine giants consume many tons of krill each day during the feeding season. Their special sounds travel through water for miles making communication easier within an ocean.Trees communicate with each other through an underground network of mycorrhiza commonly known as “wood wide web.” This interesting system enables them to share nutrients as well as information on pests and environmental changes. Research has indicated that older trees which have been there for long periods would feed baby plants to ensure their survival.The good thing about honey is that it does not go bad. In ancient Egyptian tombs, honey jars were found that dated back to 300 years ago. Research realized that they are still edible. This ability to last so long is due to its low moisture content and natural acidity.

It also features huge wildlife diversity, with millions of species. Some species haven’t yet been discovered. For the sake of maintaining balance in global climate systems and saving numerous species from extinction, it is imperative that this largest rainforest be conserved.Octopuses boast three hearts as well as blue blood as they often survive in the deep sea. One heart pumps blood to gills while the others move blood around their body. They also make use of their high level of intelligence in order to solve problems which they come across while moving through complicated underwater landscapes so as not fall prey to predators.It may astound you that but a teaspoon’s worth of soil has billions of microorganisms. This shows how complex life is underground. The significance of these organisms lies in their involvement with nutrient cycling and decomposition. This naturally enhances fertility within soil.
