It’s pretty typical for someone ignorant who doesn’t know what wind really is , rejoice .. at last came someone to explain it all for you , now you know what wind really is

He should've said as the pressure gradient gets steeper, the wind blows from areas of high pressure towards areas of low pressure.

Maybe because it was a relatively complex explanation for a banal phenomenon which every knows since the age of like 1. And because the name for the explanation was told at the end.

Yep, plants insert organics into the soil, which then increase soil aggregates and soil aggregate stability.

That will then cause the water to sink to the hard bedrock and drain to the lakes.

So would this affect the amazon

Songs of the Eons plants are our saviours

@@MrMisanthrope_ That's unlikely. Adding organics increases porosity when the soil is clay rich but does the opposite when its excessively sandy. So in effect, plants more or less push permeability toward an equilibrium as opposed to extremes.

South America's landmass wouldn't have made a difference.

Deserts usually form at a specific latitude on the west coast of continents. A true desert that stretches from coast to coast is actually unusual. The Andes mountains would probably halt whatever desert tried to stretch east, inland.

@@tylerdurden3722 Actually it`s the atmospheric hadley cell that`s beneficial in creating and maintaining desserts as these atmospheric packets create sinking air that prevents clouds to develop - The majority of our world desserts are under those Hadley Cells.

@@Cl4rendon yes, exactly. That's why a mountain range is what usually stops deserts from going further east. Because those mountains push up that air and causes relief rain. (Except for a short dry spot)

@@tylerdurden3722 In Australia we have the Great Dividing Range for that

The winds, also fertilise the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

But the great part of this cyclical understanding is that the Amazon can clearly survive and thrive (species wise) without such nutrients on their "regular" basis. They are clearly a less important factor and more incidental than we all first thought. The resiliency of nature and for ecosystem to adapt is the impressive factor here.

Although without the drying of the Sahara, human civilization might not have existed or taken longer to exist given the fact that Ancient Egypt, the world's first civilization was created due to it drying up.

Ghadafi was on his way to doing that until evil forces (Obama, the US, whoever ya want to say is evil) slaughtered him and ruined the water supply.

They build an irrigation system and then the bombing destroyed it.

Not sure if you could turn it into a grow zone so easily considering the fact that I seriously doubt sand is nutrient rich enough for plants. That being said with modern gmos, growing techniques and fertilizers, it might just be possible. Still it'd be better to invest all that tech into the parts of Africa we are sure are habitable already seeing as much of the continent's agricultural land has still not been realized to it's full potential due to a lack of wealth, infrastructure and stable governments, unfortunately

@@user-mq9yg5hs8b yeah yeah, we believe you. Go watch some Vox news

"The hour (apocalypse) won't happen until the land of the Arabs go back to being full of meadows and rivers." _Muhammad peace be upon him. More than 14 centuries, Muhammad, peace be upon him, had made two prophecies. First, that the land that the Arabs have known for tens of thousands of years to be a waterless desert was full of greenery and running surface water. Second, that that same unforgiving empty land will again be full of greenery and rivers. NONE at that time and geographical area could have known that. Especially that Muhammad, peace be upon him, was illiterate. NONE could have imagined such a thing let alone to predict it. Muhammad, peace be upon him, was called a magician, crazy and a liar, yet he was never apologetic and went with full force in what he believed in. He relentlessly preached the oneness of God and ridiculed the pagans despite all prosecution. He made all kind of unimaginable claims at his time, despite being laughed at, but it's all coming to be true. With global warming and a new ice age, the desert will again become full of life. But at that time the Quran yet again miraculously describes space as seamless fabric that at the end of times will rip open. Then nothing will help a human being but his good deeds. Or he will be recycled.

"Chad" means "lake" in the regional language there, so Lake Chad is also redundant in meaning. English loves these tautological place names.

More likely a result of sand deposits from catastrophically large tidal waves/flooding from the Younger Dryas Impact Event.

Well...sifting aside the mythological embellishments, it wasn’t a terrible theory? We kinda expect the same thing to happen (and have evidence of it) through directly human-related activity (like burning up fossil fuels and melting ice packs that bounce back solar radiation, and of course burning down massive forests and overgrazing/overfarming grasslands, and punching holes in the ozone layer which, you know, also deflected radiation)

@@anonymousfellow8879 The "holes in the ozone" are natural by products of lack of sunlight... do you think it's a coincidence they appear at the poles and worsen during the 6 months of the year when that pole is in perpetual winter? Ozone needs UV to be generated in the first place!

@@johnperic6860 Semiarid regions which support a mixture of shrubs, grasses and short trees. They're very common in the leeward side of mountainous tropical islands, and in continents at transition areas to warm deserts where external factors discouraging trees aren't as strong. These places get a lot more precipitation (15-30 inches or 375-700 mm per year) than true deserts (less than 10 inches or 250 mm per year), but the high evapotranspiration rates mean that most of the rain that does fall evaporates rather quickly. Some examples: Guánica dry forest, southwestern Puerto Rico media.metrolatam.com/2018/10/11/14965610422b3b2eb84db-4fdde950f89531908eb3db04857cd430.jpg Hawaii has multiple dry forest areas, and they hold the bulk of Hawaiian biodiversity www.sscnet.ucla.edu/geog/tdfpacific/hawaii.html The bulk of forests in Australia qualify as dry--either tropical to the north or Mediterranean to the southeast and southwest www.ecolsoc.org.au/hot-topics/australias-seasonally-dry-tropical-forests-need-attention Mediterranean forests and scrublands are present in the warm temperate latitudes on the western sides of continents. Areas like these include the western USA (especially California), southwest South America (mainly Chile), South Africa, the Maghrib (coastal areas of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia), southern Europe (a nearly continuous belt from Portugal to Turkey), and various pockets in Australia. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/ba/Nahkealehtinen_kasvillisuus.png

Yeah! Sahara is Arabic for desert and guess what the Arabic for Savannah is.... Its Savanna Savanna Savanna

From "Online Etymology Dictionary": Savannah: "treeless plain," 1550s, from Spanish sabana, earlier zavana "treeless plain," from Taino (Arawakan) zabana. The Tainos were a Native American people.

@@kevinbyrne4538 Could be that the Arabs got the word from the Spaniards. Not very surprising since the Iberian peninsula has a history of Islamic conquest. Interesting etymology. Anyway, the Arab word is also Savanna.

@@arjunsatheesh7609 -- In Europe, the Taino word "zavana" became the Latin word "zauana" (in old writing, u and v were often written and printed using the same letter) in 1516 and then that became the Spanish word "çavana" in 1519. So the word would have to have been introduced into Spain after the last Arabs were driven out of the Iberian peninsula (1492). The Arabic word for savanna is "alsaafana", which is very close. Unfortunately it appears that no etymological dictionary of Arabic exists.

Lions were native to Greece

Alexander the Great's army were the first Greeks to encounter Elephants in India. And most probably the Tigers.

So that's why Greeks probably knew about Lions.

This would be very hard to research with accuracy

Hippos lived in islands in the Mediterranean at one point, they were much smaller though and this may have been before what we call Greek or Hellenic civilisation existed. Can't remember. But it was due to a phenomenon we call insular dwarfism, where species are smaller on islands
