The climatic phenomenon known as El Niño is a disruption of the ocean-atmosphere system in the tropical Pacific that impacts weather and climate around the globe. An El Niño occurs every four to twelve years, causes die-offs of plankton and fish, and affects Pacific jet-stream winds, altering storm
Warm water fuels the tropical storms that ultimately form hurricanes. In this video segment adapted from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, learn how El Niño events—climatic anomalies that occur periodically in the Pacific Ocean—alter the course of atmospheric circulation and lessen hurricane forma

According to one of the scientific theories of the origin of the Earth, the planets were formed in the distant past by a collision of billions of small celestial bodies - with the element gold as a component in the building material of the galaxies. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Mirror TV/Jens Nicolai/Olive
A river flows because water always follows the natural gradient on the earth's surface. All flowing waters follow the line of least resistance. River curves have developed naturally over thousands of years. They are called meanders. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Bilderfest/Florian Breier, Christian Stiefenho
"Playing is the highest form of research," Einstein is said to have said. Nowadays, gaming also happens in video games, and teachers use it in class or for homework. For this video, we teamed up with the folks at G2A – the world's largest gaming marketplace. We'll learn about the three dimensions of
Operant conditioning, also known as learning from success, is based on the assumption that we can reinforce or decrease a certain behavior by adding a consequence. For example, if a dog makes a pile on the carpet, we can either reinforce the behavior so that the dog does it again. Or we punish him
