The Sahara Desert and the Amazon rainforest are about as different as two places on Earth could be. But they’re tightly linked together in a way you could hardly imagine. It all started 7,000 years ago, when the Sahara wasn’t a desert at all, but a land of huge lakes. The largest was the mega-lake Chad, bigger than all of our Great Lakes combined. The mega-lake was home to a huge number of diatoms, algae-like plankton that form the base of the food chain. After algal blooms, billions of dead diatoms would sink to the lake floor. When natural climate change caused the lake to shrink ...

In 2014, a landslide began above the Stillaguamish River in Washington. In less than 5 minutes, it had buried a rural neighborhood. Forty-three people died, while eight more were carried along and lived to tell the tale. The slide dammed the river, which created a lake 2-and-a-half miles long. As violent and frightening as landslides can be, they’re a natural part of the constant erosion and reformation of Earth. Most often, erosion is a very slow process—except about 400 times a year, when there’s a landslide. They can creep downhill at just a few inches a day. Or they can build up ...

If you took a flight from New York to Beijing, for 1,400 miles of it, you’d be flying over mostly unmapped ocean. We don’t know exactly how deep it is. We don’t know the shape of the ocean floor. It’s a mystery. In fact, we don’t understand the vast majority of the seafloor. Our maps of the moon, Mars, and even Venus are 50 times more detailed. Near the coasts and continental shelves, where waters are shallow and boat traffic is high, we’ve used sonar from ships to build high-resolution seafloor maps. But these cover just 10% of the ocean. The rest, with an average depth of 2.5 ...

Imagine you’re being chased by a T. rex. What would you hear? Some very big footsteps. Some very heavy breathing. Someone screaming—maybe that’s you. What else? Scientists have been trying to determine what the prehistoric world sounded like by studying the sounds of modern animals. Sounds of aggression, like roars and screams. Sounds of communication, like birdsong or a wolf howl. Perhaps most amazing, echolocation—used by bats and whales to find prey and avoid obstacles. The organs required to make, and hear, these sounds had to evolve sometime. So scientists went looking for them in...
