Video - Nature's Astonishing Secrets: Underground Tree Networks, Record-Breaking Quakes, Scorching Heat, and More!
Trees have a secret social network underground! Through their roots and symbiotic fungi, trees communicate and share nutrients. This 'wood wide web' helps them support each other, showing that forests are more interconnected than we might think. The largest earthquake ever recorded struck Chile in 1960, registering a magnitude of 9.5.
