After the scientists' exploration, do you know what the birds can sing?
Animals are a group of living things. They generally feed on organic matter, can feel, can move, can move autonomously, or can move things. Animals also have a variety of behaviors that can be seen as animal responses to stimuli. Behavior is the science of animal behavior. One of the more famous behavioral theories is the instinct theory proposed by Conrad Lorenz. The following is a detailed introduction to it, so take a look!

Revealing the genesis of the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau
As the "roof of the world", the formation and evolution of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, especially the internal crustal deformation, thickening and uplift, and outward expansion, are the main focus of research in the field of earth sciences. For the special geological phenomena on the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, such as large-scale slip faulting, significant crustal thickening, and lack of Cenozoic crustal shortening, three classical geological models have been proposed, namely, rigid block extrusion, continuous lithosphere-scale deformation, and large-scale middle and lower crustal flow. Among them, the large-scale (>1000 km) middle and lower crustal flow has received wide attention and support from many scholars in the last 20 years. This model suggests that the crustal thickening at the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau is caused by the eastward flow of crustal material from the interior of the Tibetan Plateau (the North Tangential Massif) at a depth of 25-40 km to join the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. Geophysical observations show that there is an extensive low-velocity, a high-conductivity layer at the eastern margin and interior of the Tibetan Plateau that supports the flow of middle and lower crustal material that can occur. However, some scholars have questioned this, arguing that the model lacks geological evidence and that some recent findings do not seem to support the existence of such large-scale crustal flows.

One third of the Earth is made up of liquid water
To gain a deeper understanding of the universe and find a future second home for humanity, scientists have been exploring a wide variety of celestial bodies, using ground-based and space-based equipment such as the Hubble Telescope and the Chinese FAST eye to make discoveries.

What is it like in a Hurricane?
Honestly, a hurricane is a lot of anxiety. First you see a storm brewing. You have days to worry about it, pouring over the estimated track, wondering when you should start to panic. You check the weather twenty times an hour in the days leading up to the storm. And every hour, every update matters. The track can change at any moment. You have a small window of a couple of days to make the very important decision of how much you are going to panic and prepare. If you wait too long, it is too late.

Ecological damage and pheasant proliferation
In recent years, to maintain the ecological environment, the implementation of a series of national policies has indeed brought certain effects. With the policy of returning farmland to forest, the ecological environment of rural areas has become better and better.

A most mysterious place, but also a place you can never know, at the same time!
Einstein's general theory of relativity is like a magnificent palace that looks imposing. He summarized the universal laws of the universe with only a few simple assumptions. For example, the bending of light has been measured and is almost identical to the calculations given by general relativity. The cosmic microwave background radiation also verifies the Big Bang. With the intervention of the cosmological constant, the accelerated expansion of the universe has also been rationalized. Einstein's theory of relativity has a nearly perfect explanation for the macroscopic universe. But as we mentioned earlier, general relativity explains the general laws of the universe, but the universe is not only general, it has many dualities. Today, let's talk about the ultimate mystery that haunted Einstein's like - black holes.

The 'smart gene' that Determines victory
Neanderthals, our closest relatives to modern Homo sapiens, split up about half a million years ago. Since then, they have migrated out of Africa and crossed paths and even exchanged genes in Eurasia. In the end, modern Homo sapiens won the battle for survival, while Neanderthals were eliminated.

The Earth has high mountains and deep oceans, so why do scientists still say that the Earth is a near-perfect sphere?
That the Earth is round is a scientific truism known to modern humans. So how round is the Earth? The answer given by scientists is: The Earth is very round and can be described as a nearly perfect sphere.
