About 70% of the surface is covered by water, with much of the continental shelf below sea level. If all of the land on Earth were spread evenly, water would rise to an altitude of more than 2500 metres. The remaining 30% not covered by water consists of mountains, deserts, plains, plateaus, etc. Currently the total arable land is 13.31% of the land surface, with only 4.71% supporting permanent crops. Close to 40% of the Earth's land surface is presently used for cropland and...

Most galaxies are gravitationally bound to a number of other galaxies. Structures containing up to about 50 galaxies are called groups of galaxies, and larger structures containing many thousands of galaxies packed into an area a few megaparsecs across are called clusters. Clusters of galaxies are often dominated by a single giant elliptical galaxy, which over time tidally destroys its satellite galaxies and adds their mass to its own. Superclusters are giant collections containing tens of thousands of galaxies, found...

The genus includes the main edible fruit native to North America. They are understorey trees of yawning fertile bottomland soils. The name, also spelled paw paw, paw-paw, and papaw, most likely derives from the Spanish papaya, perhaps due to the superficial resemblance of their fruit. Pawpaw is in the same family Annunciate as the custard-apple, soursop, sweetsop, and cherimoya, and it is the only ...

At the Earth's surface, earthquakes may manifest themselves by a shaking or displacement of the ground and sometimes tsunamis, which may lead to loss of life and destruction of property. Earthquakes may occur naturally or as a result of human activities. In its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event—whether a natural phenomenon or an event caused by humans—that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes occur on a daily...

It is a European rare species which is resident in the milder parts of its range, but birds from northern and central Europe winter further south and west. It is 61–72 cm long with a 175-200 cm wingspan. It is an elegant bird, soaring with long wings held at a dihedral, and long forked tail twisting as it changes direction. The call is a thin piping, similar to but less mewling than Common Buzzard....

The term is a neologism, combining the term bluestocking, a perjoritive term for intellectual women, with "red", for its relationship with the revolutionary left. http://redstockings.blogdrive.com/comments?id=1
