YOGYAKARTA - There are many wonders and uniqueness that we often do not realize in this world. Starting from the uniqueness of natural phenomena that occur to biological facts in living things. The unique fact of the world around us shows how wide our knowledge can still be learned.

By treating these facts, you will better understand how special the world is. Reporting from BBC Earth, below are ten interesting facts you should know about the world:

Even though it is called the highest mountain in the world, every year Mount Everest turns out to continue to grow as high as a few millimeters. Why is that? This is due to the movement of tectonic plates that are driving it higher.

The firestlecone pine tree in California turns out to be over 4,800 years old. This makes him the oldest living creature to still live on earth, much older than the Egyptian pyramid or Stonehenge.

The Atlantic Ocean is the center of ocean currents that help spread heat from the equator to other parts of the world. This phenomenon is known as thermohalin current and plays a major role in regulating the earth's climate.

Australia is indeed popular as a country that has many dangerous species, including tycoons and funnel-web spiders. In fact, some of them contain poison that is so deadly that it is very dangerous for humans in a matter of minutes.

The Amazon River not only has an extraordinary length but also the largest volume of water in the world. In fact, this river accounts for about 20% of the fresh water flowing across the sea around the world.

In Nunavut, Canada, there is an island called Victoria Island which has a lake on it, and in it there is another small island. This is a unique natural phenomenon that is rarely found elsewhere.

Antarctica, albeit ice-filled, has an area known as Dry Valleys or Dry Valleys, which hardly gets rainfall. Conditions in this place are even drier than the Sahara Desert.

Thousands of years ago, the Sahara Desert was not the desert it is known today, but the fertile grass. This changes as climate change gradually makes it the largest desert in the world.

It is said that the sea contains more than 200,000 different viruses, with various types contained in them.

This number is certainly very large and shows how diverse microbial life is in the oceans.

The viruses in the ocean have genetic uniqueness and biological properties that are not yet fully understood.

The Nile in Africa is designated as the longest river that crosses eleven countries, from Uganda in the south to Egypt in the north. The existence of this river is certainly very important for the people around it.

That's a review of the unique facts in the world that need to be known. Hopefully useful! Visit VOI.id to get other interesting information.
