Trees may have more to them than meets the eye. Their roots are thought to be interwoven underground, forming a massive network that may be visually likened to the human nervous system. This network, according to experts, allows trees to communicate and aids in their behavior, defense, learning, and memory.

The ocean continues to be one of the most enigmatic and perplexing things to humanity. No matter how much we learn and tell about it, there is still much more to learn and reveal since we have only explored one-fifth of it. With a total volume of 1.35 billion cubic kilometers, it is safe to assume that we have a long way to go before we can unravel the endless mysteries that this mystery may be hiding.

According to a scientist from the University of Maryland, our globe used to be purple. Instead of chlorophyll, ancient microorganisms might have used different chemicals to digest sunlight. Because these chemicals may give microorganisms a purple hue, the entire planet might have been purple.

According to Water in Crisis: A Guide to the World's Fresh Water Resources from the United States Geological Survey, the seas hold slightly more than 96 percent of the total amount of water on the planet (USGS). However, that is mostly seawater. You must go to the poles to find the majority of the world's freshwater, as 68.7 percent of it is buried in ice caps, permanent snow, and glaciers.

Nobody has ever seen anything greater than 9.5 metres in length, and it was longer than the state of California. "A magnitude 13 earthquake is technically inconceivable since it would need a fault larger than the Earth."

The Arctic is largely made up of ocean, while Antarctica is mostly made up of land. While both are covered in sheets of ice, the water beneath the Arctic ice cap (which lies just about a foot above the sea) may retain heat and assist warm the surrounding air. According to Scientific American, "the surface of the ice sheet at the South Pole is more than 9000 feet in elevation—more than a mile and a half above sea level" in Antarctica. (Of course, higher elevations result in cooler temperatures.) The North Pole's average summer temperature is 32°F. It is -18°F at the South Pole.

Our oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth's land surface. With the ocean covering so much of the Earth's surface, it's clear how important these marine environments are to the planet and how much more there is to be discovered.

Aquatic life accounts for the vast majority of life on Earth. Because the oceans cover so much of the Earth's surface, it's no surprise that marine species outnumber those on land. However, the oceans are home to an astounding 94% of all living species on Earth.

The world's longest mountain range is submerged. The Mid-Ocean Ridge, the Earth's longest mountain chain, is almost entirely beneath the ocean and stretches for 65,000 kilometers. This mountain chain is said to be less explored than the surfaces of Venus or Mars.

Around half of the United States is submerged underwater. Not only does a large portion of the planet exist beneath the ocean, but so does the United States – roughly half of it.

Humans can only use a small portion of the water on Earth. We were taught in school that water covers the majority (71 percent) of the planet's surface. While this is true, according to National Geographic, humans can only use 0.007 percent of that water. This is due to the fact that only about 2.5 percent of the water on Earth is fresh water, and only 1 percent of that is accessible. The remainder is made up of glaciers and snowfields.

Prototaxites, a mysterious genus of creatures that lived between 420 and 370 million years ago, grew large trunks up to 3 feet (1 meter) wide and 26 feet (8 meters) tall. Scientists debated whether these were strange ancient trees for a long time, but a 2007 study concluded that they were fungi, not plants. In 2007, study author and paleobotanist C. Kevin Boyce told New Scientist, "A 6-meter fungus would be odd enough in the modern world, but at least we are used to trees quite a bit bigger."

Have you ever thought of a post office that is floating? But in this incredible world, we have it too. India has a floating post office in Srinagar. The post office is built on a houseboat and even houses a museum in it. Interesting, isn't it?

Yes, the tall, pleated white hat worn by cooks, known officially as a toque, has 100 folds for a purpose! According to Reclutant Gourmet, pleats were used to indicate a chef's level of experience, such as the number of ways he or she understood how to cook eggs.

In India, there are more vegetarian options and consumables influenced by Indian food on the McDonald's menu. The Veg Pizza McPuff, Maharaja Mac (select veg or chicken), McAloo Tikki (potato patty), McSpicy Paneer (cheese patty), and Masala Grill Veg are some of the distinctive Indian McDonald's options.

In reality, white and brown sugar are interchangeable. They differ in the use of molasses, which imparts a darker hue to the result. Brown sugar is frequently misunderstood as being healthier than white sugar since it is less sweet due to the higher water content of the former.

Dogs' ears, in addition to being able to move in a variety of ways, can hear considerably higher frequency noises than human ears. In fact, dogs can hear noises that are twice as far away as we can—and it looks that tiny dogs are even better at it. This is due to the fact that the smaller a mammal's head is, the more frequencies it can take up and compare in each ear. That is how they (and us) determine the source of noises.

Napoleon Bonaparte, the great conqueror, was once assaulted by...bunnies. The emperor had asked for a rabbit hunt for himself and his troops. His chief of staff organized it and had soldiers collect up 3,000 bunnies for the occasion. The hunt was set to begin after the rabbits were freed from their cages. That was the plan, at least! The rabbits, on the other hand, raced toward Bonaparte and his soldiers in a vicious and relentless onslaught. And we were told that Waterloo was the greatest defeat of the conqueror...

Do you believe that immortality is a pipe dream? It is, after all, for people. However, scientists have discovered that the Turritopsis dohrnii jellyfish may revert to its juvenile polyp stage after maturing, allowing it to continue in an unending cycle, making it the only officially immortal organism. Do you enjoy mind-blowing facts?

This scientist grabbed a young monkey and began raising it with his 10-month-old kid. It outperformed the boy in all academic tests but was unable to learn to talk. The experiment had to be halted because the scientist's kid began to emulate the chimp's conduct. He made monkey noises when he wanted to eat or drink instead of learning a language.

Earthworms each has both male and female sex organs, yet they are incapable of self-fertilization. Earthworms spend most of their life underground, where they build intricate burrow networks. They contribute significantly to soil fertility and so play a vital role in gardens and farmland.

Every flock of sheep has its own hierarchy, and the ranking is determined by a sheep's gender and age. Leaders have superior positions at the feeder or when resting and can influence the behavior of other sheep. The process remains unchanged until shearing, when it sparks a mini-revolution. Along with their distinguishing traits, look, and scent, sheep, lose their position and must compete to determine who is worthy of being at the top.

Russian scientists disproved the ancient concept of two-color vision. The experiment, which involved detecting full and empty food bowls of various hues, revealed that our pets are just as adept as humans are at recognizing the colors blue and yellow. Dogs, contrary to common perception, do not perceive the world in black and white. They, on the other hand, can't tell the difference between green and red.

These creatures, renowned for their peaceful lifestyle, like going for a swim. Even though a sloth travels 2 meters per minute on land, it can travel 5 times quicker in the water! Because of their sluggish metabolic rate, animals can go for extended periods without breathing.
