Do You Know That….

Woo, a different blog post this time! Here, I will be presenting some interesting facts you may not have known before

Without further ado, do you know that….

  1. The Mississippi River flows in the area where North America tried to sp-l-it itself apart millions of years ago?
  2. A giant fault system exists in Missouri because of this(its called the New Madrid Fault Zone), which if it ruptured, would be several times as devastating as an earthquake in California and would be felt as far away as the East Coast?
  3. A fault line would have to be 24,901 miles(40,075 kilometers) loooooooooong in order to generate a magnitude 10 earthquake? I mean, 24,901 miles is the circumference of the earth!
  4. Pistol Shrimp are one of the loudest creatures in the ocean? In fact, a small colony of them would be more than capable of disturbing sonar signals and waves, making them the perfect submarine hideout!
  5. If the universe was a googolplex meters long, and if you traveled far enough, you might find an exact duplicate of yourself!

That’s all folks! Stayed tuned for some more later!

  1. No way about the shrimp! Really? I could google that myself, but I’d love to see a hyperlink for the red text “Pistol Shrimp” for ease of satisfying a reader’s curiosity.

    Cool post :- )

  2. I am always impressed by these interesting facts you seem to get every week. I was amazed to here that you could possibly find an exact duplicate of yourself! Very interesting.

  3. I am fascinated with the fact about the universe. I would like to see a reflection of myself at the end of the universe. Did you know that scientists have discovered white holes (opposite of black holes)?
