Fossils are the preserved remains of an animal or plant in a rock. Many of the fossils discovered so far are the ancestors of organisms that are alive today. The study of fossils is called paleontology. Much of what we understand about evolution comes from studying fossils. When organisms die, t
The theory of evolution states that individuals within a species show wide degrees of variation, and those individuals with characteristics best suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. This theory grew from studying the variations and similarities in living animals and
How are fossils actually formed? And why are they formed in some places and not in others? Author: ZDF/Terra X/Spiegel TV/Jens Nicolai/Oliver Roetz/Hauke Ketelsen/Richard Sako Translation and dubbing: alugha Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/TerraX
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
In this video segment from NOVA: "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial," paleontologist Neil Shubin recounts a fossil discovery that added another compelling piece to the body of evidence that supports evolution. Shubin's find of a well-preserved skeleton, a "fishapod," represents a transitiona
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
Fossils discovered within rocks led scientists to begin to change their ideas on the creation of life on earth. JOIN our platform at www.fuseschool.org This video is part of 'Chemistry for All' - a Chemistry Education project by our Charity Fuse Foundation - the organisation behind FuseSchool. The

Stromatolites are calcareous deposits. The stones can be up to 3.5 billion years old. For a long time they were known only as fossils, until 1956, when a "living" colony of stromatolites was discovered off the west coast of Australia. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Viking Film/Iris Gesang/Andreas Kieling, Fra

For around 200 years, humans have been a driver of climate change - fueling earth-warming processes through fossil fuels. Increased average annual temperatures are already leading to an increase in weather extremes worldwide. Author: 3sat/nano, mirror TV, Christine Voges, R. Engelke+S. Karm+F. Guts
Is more information really the solution? Whether Jens Spahn, Philipp Amthor or Friedrich Merz - they all openly say what they are up to and make no secret of their connections to the Trump administration, billionaires and the fossil fuel lobby. What is the point of transparency in times of authorita
