This is because they are on different tectonic plates. * The worlds largest desert is the Sahara, it covers about one third of Africa! * Earthquakes that occur out at sea can cause huge tsunamis capable of reaching land and endangering people. * The earth isn't perfectly round, it is slightly fattened at the north and south poles. * The volcanic rock known as pumice is the only rock that can float in water. * Stretching out to an impressive length of 6696 kilometres (4160 miles) long, the Nile River is the longest river on earth. * Natural gas doesn't have an odour, strong smells are added to it by humans so it can be detected when there are leaks. |
