Discover Extreme Points of Earth Highest point accessible by land vehicle The highest point accessible by land vehicle is an elevation of 6,688 m (21,942 ft) on Ojos del Salado in Chile, currently a high-altitude record for a four-wheeled vehicle. Highest of any volcano on Earth Furthermore, with a summit of 6,983 m (22, 615 ft), Ojos del Salado on the Argentine-Chile border is the highest of any volcano on Earth. The unnamed crater lake on Ojos del Salado is also the highest natural lake.  Farthest point from the axis of Earth The farthest point on Earth (the point furthest from the axis of Earth) is the summit of Cayambe, in Ecuador. This also means its summit rotates the fastest as Earth spins. Highest point on Earth’s surface The highest point on Earth’s surface measured from sea level is the summit of Mount Everest, at 8,848 m (29,029 ft). Highest glacier Khumbu Glacier on the southwest slopes of Mount Everest is the highest glacier, at an elevation of 7,600 to 8,000 m (24,900...

India has imposed a ban on export of wheat citing the soaring price of the farm products due to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.   Issuing a notification on Friday, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, India, restricted the export of four variants of durum wheat under the Harmonized System Code of 1001. The Indian government took the measure in order to provide for the food security requirements of India, neighboring and other vulnerable developing countries which are adversely affected by the supply chain disruption as a result of Russia-Ukraine war and are unable to access adequate wheat supplies, reads the notice of the Indian authority. According to Reuters, supplies dropped from Ukraine and Russia, which together used to account for about 29 percent of global wheat exports. After the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, the price of wheat has soared by around 40 percent in the international market. In India alone, the pri...

https://funnysparrow880.blogspot.com They are all more powerful than the bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of WWII. The United States and Russia now have thousands of nuclear weapons each, with China, France, the United Kingdom, India, Pakistan, North Korea and Israel also having nukes. The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine has sparked fears that such nuclear weapons could end up being used.  Here, Live Science takes a look at the most powerful nuclear weapons ever detonated — specifically explosions that exceeded 10 megatons. In comparison, estimates for the Hiroshima bomb are around 15 kilotons. Documents from the U.S. Department of Energy and the Russian Federation's Ministry of Defense revealed plenty of high-energy blasts. Even so, there are a number of nuclear weapon detonations whose yields are uncertain, so only those detonations whose yields are known with confidence are included here. All of these behemoth blasts are many times more powerful than...

https://funnysparrow880.blogspot.com The Pentagon is pushing back on reports that U.S. intelligence helped Ukraine target and sink Russia’s Moskva warship in the Black Sea in mid-April.  In a statement late Thursday, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said "the Ukrainians have their own intelligence capabilities to track and target Russian naval vessels, as they did in this case."  "We did not provide Ukraine with specific targeting information for the Moskva," Kirby added, "We were not involved in the Ukrainians' decision to strike the ship or in the operation they carried out."
