1) What are they?

#According to traditional Japanese lore, the Oar fish rise to the surface and
beach themselves to warn of an impending earthquake – and there are
scientific theories that bottom-dwelling fish may very well be susceptible
to movements in seismic fault lines and act in uncharacteristic ways in
advance of an earthquake – but experts here are placing more faith in their
constant high-tech monitoring of the tectonic plates beneath the surface.


2) Really? but why?

#Since 2009 the European Space Agency’s Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) has been mapping the Earth’s gravitational field, and the agency released its most detailed model of the geoid to date. More potato-shaped than spherical, this latest model shows just how different gravity can be at different points on our planet.

3)Where Why What?

#At 9:30 a.m. on March 20, 2010, precisely on time, the Plastiki, a "boat made of 12,000 plastic bottles," and the brainchild of banking heir David de Rothschild, set sail from a berth in Sausalito, Calif., just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, on its way to Australia. The Plastiki was not just the world's first boat made buoyant by discarded soda bottles. It was also a statement about the world's garbage problem, and the fact that most plastic bottles are thrown away rather than recycled. The goal was to sail 11,000 nautical miles to Sydney, Australia.

4)History?

5) First of its kind?
