9 surprising facts about the Earth

The North Pole can not move any more "north" than it currently is. It can move any other direction other than north.

David Caldwell Like the fact they say, "Here are 10 incredible facts about the third planet from the sun." yet list only 9?

The earth reflects the wisdom, power and greatness of its creator, Jehovah God. Also shows despite man's attempts to ruin it by abuse, commercialism and pollution it's still maintain by it's creator!!!

What they have not said was. We have screwed the Earth up. And sometime down the road. IT's going to screw us up big time. Count on it!

Number 4 is wrong, it should read: the moon makes the earth habitable.

Norma Guirola de Ferracuti, i caught that too

Yes magnetic north pole. Not actual true north.

Oh no the climate will change in a billion years? Wow scientists are so smart!!! Smh!!!

William Laughlin, August 2022 They seem to have fixed that Now 9.

Bruce Hogan, Yes, it is wrong. What is speed of falling nobody knows.

Danny More, Climate has been changing since the beginning. The climate change summit makes more pollution than any other individual flying in private jet.

From the comments of years ago, I keep wondering why this quizz question didn't show up earlier on my browser.

There have been a number of times in earth's history where the north and south magnetic poles have swapped positions. We are 'due' f(in the next 2 or 3 thousand years for such a switch. Plus the moon would make the earth 'habitable' not 'inhabital'

Well then, if the Earth is the only planet not named for a Greek or Roman god, then who named the Earth, "Earth?"

William Laughlin,and nzscubadiver, It says "9."

With reference to the North Pole question it is the Magnetic pole that moves not True North! It is accounted for on maps and charts used for Navigation.

Surely the moon makes the earth HABiTABLE!

Some odd comments here 1. Habitable & Inhabitable are one in the same, whereas uninhabitable means unable to support life 2. Someone said there were 10 facts, there is only nine, as per the heading. 3. The hole through the earth needs a rethink. 4. Researching the oceans is important of course, but looking after them is much more important for Humans to survive. 5. Can the North Pole really move more north?? 6. The earth will be fine after we have screwed it up, all living beings will be obliterated but rest assured, the earth will keep spinning long after we’ve vacated it.
