A long time ago, there was a massive civilization in Illinois, way before Europeans ever arrived. It was called Cahokia, and at its peak, around 20,000 people lived there—making it bigger than London at the time! They built giant mounds, some as tall as a ten-story building, and had a complex society with trade, religion, and even sports. But then, something mysterious happened, and by the 1400s, the city was abandoned. Some say it was climate change, others think war or disease played a role, but no one knows for sure. Today, the mounds are still there, keeping the secrets of this lost civilization buried beneath them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Did you know the next supercontinent is already in the works? Scientists believe that over millions of years, Earth’s tectonic plates will shift again to create a massive landmass. They’re calling it Pangaea Proxima, or "Future Pangaea," and it’s set to form as the Atlantic Ocean shrinks while continents like Africa and Europe crash together. This isn’t happening tomorrow, though—it’s a process that could take 200-300 million years! When it does happen, it’ll totally change climates, ecosystems, and even the way we navigate the planet. It’s wild to think that Earth’s surface is constantly moving, slowly shaping the future world! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Did you know that Earth used to have continents that no longer exist today? Millions of years ago, there were massive landmasses that have since disappeared, either sinking beneath the ocean or breaking apart to form new continents. One of these lost continents is called Zealandia, most of which is now submerged under the Pacific Ocean! There’s also a famous one called Gondwana, which eventually split into Africa, South America, Australia, and Antarctica. These changes happen because of plate tectonics, where Earth’s crust moves over time. It’s like a giant puzzle that keeps shifting, and we’re still discovering pieces of this ancient history!

Scientists found evidence of a whole continent that vanished like, ages ago—like, 115 million years ago! It's like something out of a sci-fi flick, right? Apparently, it was this massive landmass, kind of like what we have now with Africa and stuff, but then poof! It just disappeared into thin air, or rather, deep into the ocean. They're calling it "Greater Adria," and it's got geologists buzzing with excitement about Earth's ancient history. Makes you wonder what other secrets this planet's hiding, huh?

Experts decoded the mysterious sounds coming from Antarctica’s icy waters, and the results are pretty wild. It turns out, these eerie noises are caused by shifting ice, underwater earthquakes, and even tiny sea creatures making sounds we can’t normally hear. The massive ice sheets creak and groan as they move, creating deep, rumbling noises that travel for miles. Some of the sounds are also linked to climate change, as melting glaciers release trapped air and water in strange bursts. Scientists are now using these sounds to track how fast the ice is melting and how the ocean is changing. So, what once sounded like something out of a sci-fi movie is actually giving us crucial clues about the future of our planet! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

NASA just discovered a massive hole under Greenland, and scientists are scratching their heads trying to figure out how it got there. 🕳️ This giant cavity is hiding beneath the ice, and it’s so big that it could change what we know about Greenland’s glaciers. Some researchers think it might have formed due to melting ice, while others believe it could be a sign of something even more mysterious. If the ice above it collapses, it could speed up sea level rise, which is pretty concerning. But for now, it’s just sitting there like a giant question mark under the frozen landscape. NASA is on the case, and hopefully, they’ll crack this icy mystery soon! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ever wondered why planes often fly over the North Pole but almost never cross the South Pole? It all comes down to logistics, safety, and practicality. The North Pole is surrounded by land and has plenty of emergency landing spots, while Antarctica is a frozen, isolated wasteland with almost no airports. Plus, airline routes are based on where people actually travel, and there’s just not much demand for flights over the South Pole. Extreme cold and strong magnetic interference also make navigation tricky down there. So while flying over the Arctic is common, the Antarctic skies remain mostly empty!
