Study Notes
Mysteries of Nature
- Nature holds many unsolved mysteries, some difficult for scientists to explain
- The Bermuda Triangle, or Devil's Triangle, is a region where ships and planes have disappeared mysteriously.
- One theory suggests unusual weather patterns, including sudden hurricanes, cause crashes and losses.
Bird Migration
- Birds migrate thousands of kilometers between the northern hemisphere's winter and southern regions to find food and breed
- Scientists believe birds sense direction with the sun, moon, stars, the land themselves, or perhaps other clues
- Birds return to the same places each year using a combination of these natural cues.
Whale Songs
- Humpback whales sing complex underwater melodies that last for about 15 minutes
- These songs include groans, moans, roars, and chirps, and both male and female whales sing
- The purpose of the songs remains unclear
Animal's Sixth Sense
- Some animals may have the ability to predict impending natural disasters (earthquakes, cyclones)
- Their behavior often becomes agitated and restless, and some animals run and make loud calls before the disaster strikes
- Some zoologists and pet owners believe animals possess an additional, "sixth sense" that allows them to detect environmental changes before humans can.
