    よくある質問

    In geography, a desert is defined by its aridity and lack of precipitation rather than its temperature or the presence of sand. Because Antarctica is the driest place on Earth and receives very little moisture, it fits the scientific definition of a desert, surpassing the Sahara in total size.

    This is a mechanical quirk of human biology caused by gravity. Throughout the day, gravity compresses the cartilage in your spine while you are standing or sitting; when you sleep at night, your spine "rebounds" and decompresses, allowing you to regain that height by the time you wake up.

    In 1932, the Australian military was deployed with machine guns to manage a massive emu population that was destroying crops.
