* FACTS 73 (OCEANS)

Hi Friends!

1. For starters, did you know that 94 percent of life on Earth is aquatic? That makes us land-dwellers a very small minority.

2. About 70 percent of the planet is ocean, with an average depth of more than 12,400 feet. Given that photons (light) can't penetrate more than 330 feet below the water's surface, most of our planet is in a perpetual state of darkness.

3. Fifty percent of the United States (in terms of our complete legal jurisdiction, which include ocean territory) lies below the ocean.

4. The deep sea is the largest museum on Earth. There are more artifacts and remnants of history in the ocean than in all the world's museums, combined.

5. We have only explored less than 5% of the Earth's oceans. In fact we have better maps of Mars than we do of the ocean floor (Even the submerged half of the United States).

6. The longest mountain range in the world is under water. Called the Mid-Oceanic Ridge, this chain of mountains runs through the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and into the Indian and Pacific oceans. It runs more than comprises 23 percent of the Earth's total surface.

7. The Ocean boasts an array of unusual geographic features, such as pillars that reach several stories high and chimneys that send up sulfuric acid mark of the floor, along with underwater volcanoes that spew mud and methane, rather than lava.

8. These wonderful formation aren't barren, either. Underwater hot springs that shoot water that's 650 degrees Fahrenheit-hot enough to melt lead-boast a profusion of life, from 10ft tall tubeworms to giant clams that function without digestive systems.

9. Extreme temperatures aren't the only seeming barrier to life, but again, the laws below the surface differ from above. The immense pressure of the water on a human diving to greater depths is one of the biggest hurdles to exploring the deepest parts of the oceans- yet, at depths that would crush the Titanic like a Coke can, crabs, octopuses and tubewroms got about their business.

10. Another example is the male Squid, with turns a warm brown color to attract females, or white to warn away interloping males. Most intriguing is that the male never shows its white, aggressive side to the female. In a colorful show of marine multitasking, the male squid will turn the side facing his prospective mate the welcoming brown, while simultaneously turning sideways so that she can't see he's made his outward-facing flank white.

* FACTS 72 (AMAZON FOREST)

Hi Friends!

1. Around 80% of the food we eat originally came from rainforests. Some of the more popular examples include coffee, chocolate, rice, tomatoes, potatoes, bananas, black pepper, pineapples and corn. At the inside Track we basically live on coffee. That's enough to save the rainforest.

2. Tropical rainforests only cover about 6% of the Earth's surface, but they are home to more than half the word's total plant and animal species.

3. The forest floor is almost completely dark- with less than 1% of the available sunlight making it through the tree canopy above.

4. There are around 3000 fruits found in rainforests, and in the west we make use of around 200 of them. However, indigenous tribes make use of over 2000!

5. With deforestation continuing at such a fast rate, we've created the most rapid extinction rate in the history of the world. 137 rainforest species are exterminated completely every single day.

6. Over a quarter of the medicine we use today have their origins in the rainforests- and that's after only about 1% of rainforest plant have been examined for their medicine properties. Imagine what else could be there? It's not outlandish to think that our best chance of curing the diseases that plague our world could lie with the rainforest. But with so many species exterminated everyday, we may never find out.

7. The rainforests have begun to be destroyed in the last 100 years to make way for farm land. Today, the rainforests are being destroyed by 1.5 acres every second. That's not a typo.

8. Some people call the rainforests 'the worlds lungs', but decomposition of plant matter absorbs as much oxygen as the trees produce. It's probably more accurately to think of them as having a cooling effect on the global climate, as they absorb a huge amount of heat from the sun. About 30% of our carbon emissions come from one thing- burning the rainforests.

9. We often think that the soil in the rainforest is really fertile to support such a huge range of plant and animal life. But rainforest land is not really any good for farming. Once cleared, the soil is of such low quality that it can hardly be used to grow anything. After a year or  two of farming, the land is totally bereft of nutrients- leaving a useless patch of land.

10. If deforestation continues, we'll completely lose the rainforests with the next 40 years.
