You'd think that the Northern and Southern Hemispheres would be basically symmetrical -- that since our planet is a ball, the climate, temperature, and weather patterns would be the same on top as on the bottom. But there are some...

One reason the Bermuda Triangle has scared people for generations is the seaweed. And thanks to eutrophication and other human causes, that Sargassum seaweed is starting to travel the world. Here's how we're accidentally making more of...

Lots of people want to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and plastics have a huge impact on ocean environments. But marine wildlife are already adapting to our plastic waste, which means cleaning it up isn't as simple as just......

Whether it's solo or with a friend, young dolphins love to partake in a bit of play.

When you live in the ocean, it can be hard to find ways to keep hidden from predators, or from your own prey. But these three animals have found clever ways to stay hidden, by using light to their advantage. One of them even /makes...

Lots of geological forces need to come together for continents to form, but they all require one ingredient: water.

Most animals on earth are bioluminescent, but almost all of them live in the ocean - and scientists aren’t sure why.

Watch these amazing rewilding videos from our friends at Planet Wild, in which they’re saving Europe’s cutest bird from extinction or resurrecting a dying forest.

You might not think of a sea creature as helpful in the prevention of climate change, but sperm whales have been doing their part to cool the planet by doing what most animals do best: pooping.

For thousands of years, sailors have been telling stories of a mysterious phenomenon called dead water. Even after scientists figured out why it happens, it still affects swimmers today.

Researchers have found ancient communities of microbes that have been buried deep, for a hundred million years! This discovery might be the oldest living thing on Earth, and could even expand the search for life on other planets.

A volcanic eruption and series of earthquakes in 2005 were important not because they did a great deal of damage to humans, but because they’re geologic evidence of where Earth’s next ocean will most likely pop up.

Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, there's a fish that's . . . a little different. Join us for a new episode of SciShow where Hank will tell you all about the Pacific Barreleye Fish and what makes it so mysterious....

What on earth is a xenophyophore? It's a single-celled organism that unlike what you might think is NOT microscopically small. In fact, these ocean dwellers are a little heftier than that! Learn all about them in this new episode of...

One of the toughest materials known to science is made not by humans, but by nature... and it's inside of oysters.

On New Year's day, we said goodbye to George the Snail, marking the first extinction of 2019, and the way things are looking, it won't be the last.

Did you know that a massive ancient flood triggered a thousand year ice age? 13,000 years ago, North America seemed to be thawing from a 2.6 million-year ice age. Then, a huge swath of Earth was suddenly plunged back into the cold for...

Thanks to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and their research and technology partner MBARI for partnering with us on this episode of SciShow. They worked together on an exhibition, “Into The Deep: Exploring Our Undiscovered Ocean,” to give...

Today on SciShow we bring you a cool humanoid diving robot and insight into the evolution of the venus flytrap.

Monsoons are more than torrential rains. They come in wet and dry varieties, but both involve a lot of wind. And it turns out, those winds can help the Earth clean up some of the pollution mess humanity makes.

For the last hundred and fifty years or so, geologists have been trying to wrap their heads around the mystery: in some places, the geologic record just seems to jump by over billion years. And last week, a paper was published that may...

SciShow shares the latest developments in science, this week including new insights into the evolution of giant sperm, and the discovery of a whole new order of animal. ----------

In the future, we may see more continent-sized dust storms like the one nicknamed Godzilla, which crossed the Atlantic ocean in 2020. And since then, researchers have been looking into what caused such a colossal storm. If we can predict...

Did you know that last year we had 28 of the fastest days ever recorded? Earth's rotation can be affected by a number of things, and scientists think we might someday need an unprecedented adjustment: deleting a second!
