SCIENCE TRIVIA--MAKE FUN WITH IT ;)
1. Olympus Mons on Mars is the largest volcano in our solar system. All the moons of the Solar System are named after Greek and Roman mythology, except the moons of Uranus, which are named after Shakesperean charcters. Source: "PiT"

2.  Scientists define deserts as areas which have less than 250mm (10in) of rain a year. They include not only the hot deserts, but also cold deserts such a Greenland, Antarctica and northern Russia. A third type, known as edaphic desert, is one where, despite an adequate rainfall, the soil is too poor to support plants. Edaphic deserts occur on some volcanic islands, in parts of Iceland and on the Colorado plateau in the USA. Cold deserts cover 16% of the world's surface. Hot and edaphic deserts account for a further 18%; a total of 34%, or just over a third of the world's land. Source: "Reader's Digest Book of Facts"
