Sahara, the largest desert in our world, is the hottest place on the planet. A few million years ago, in this desert, the 'Tethys Sea' was how a sea turned into the largest desert in the world, so we will try to know today.
A large part of the world is desert. The region, which extends from China's' Gobi Desert to the Chihuahuan Desert of the Americas, is called the Desert Belt, the Sahara, the world's largest desert belt. It is almost three times larger than India's size in size. The Sahara Desert is home to 12 countries, with countries being Egypt, Morocco, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Algeria, the Moon, Eritrea, Niger, Sudan, Tunisia and the Western Sahara. The entire Africa continent is located on a tectonic plate in the world. In the past, the Tethys Sea was between Africa and Europe. As a result of the dynamics of the tectonic plate more than 10 million years ago, it moved north and united Africa and Europe. As a result, the northern part of Africa shrinks and rises above sea level. As a result, this area gradually becomes deserted and becomes desert. The name of a portion, just a half-kilometer from Cairo, the Egyptian capital, Wadi-al-Hitan, in Arabic, means the Valley of the Temi.
The extinct Dordan whale fossils were found here about 3 million years ago. The Wadi-al-Hitan, the largest province of the Sahara Magu Land, was once the sea. By far the largest fossil found here in the world. So even after being transformed from the sea, many times the Sahara vibrant. Every 20,000 years, the Sahar deserts becomes wetland and grassland. This is because the earth slopes slightly northward every 20 thousand years in its own axis path. As a result, the Earth's seasonal wind speed changes. And during that time, the area turned to green due to heavy rainfall in the Sahara sub-continent. The last 3 to 4 thousand years ago, people and animals lived in the Sahara Desert. It is thought that after 4 thousand years, the Sahara Desert will become green again. The Sahara Desert is the largest sand dune in the world. Through the desert sand, the entire earth can be covered by 5 inches. Once there is a sand storm, it can last up to 7 days. The sand is made up of small sand hills that make up many of the sand that comes with the storm. These sand hills can be almost as high as a 4-storey house. The sand hills caused by the desert storm are not permanent, they move up to about 5 feet a year. Al-Azizia in the Sahara Desert, Libya, has recorded the highest temperature at 5 degrees Celsius so far. As difficult as it is to live in the hottest place on our planet, it is impossible for any human to settle in Antarctica, the coolest place on our planet.
In the next article we will try to find out the mysterious Antarctica continent. Until then, stay with us. Thanks.
