Did you Know the Earth’s Longest Mountain Range?

2 Comments / Earth Science, Oceanography, Science /

Big mountain ranges are on every continent, but the longest chain of peaks isn’t on any of these seven big pieces of land. Instead, it’s underwater. Called the mid-ocean range, this super long mountain chain follows the edges of Earth’s tectonic plates and stretches around the world like the stitching on a baseball. It’s about

Video: Orca’s Solo Attack on Great White Shark

2 Comments / Biology, Science /

This marks the first documented instance of a solitary orca hunting and consuming a great white shark. While orcas were previously observed hunting great whites in groups or pairs, witnessing an individual orca hunting alone is unprecedented. This discovery indicates the development of a novel hunting tactic. In 2022, reports surfaced detailing how a pair
