How Earth's Rotation Affects Our Oxygen | SciShow News

The video explores how Earth's rotation influenced oxygen levels, enabling life evolution. It discusses a study linking day length to oxygen production by cyanobacteria, verified through fieldwork at a sulfur-rich sinkhole. Additionally, it highlights an evolutionary trap for sea turtles, whose adaptive behavior now leads them to ingest harmful plastics, posing a survival threat.

What are the potential dangers of plastic ingestion for juvenile sea turtles?

How might the adaptation of sea turtles to head out to the open ocean be harmful now?

What are the implications of the research findings on the behavior of sea turtles and human actions?
