13. A school bus versus a mining dump truck
Found in: Global Estimate. Expensive: $4–$7.5 million*
A massive mining dump truck can cost as much as $4 million, whereas a regular-size dump truck might cost anywhere between $100,000 and $200,000. This dump truck dwarfs a standard-sized school bus, making it appear like a toy vehicle.
Depending on their specifications, some mining trucks can even cost as much as $6–$7.5 million. Given that these vehicles are capable of towing up to 450,000 metric tonnes (900 million pounds) of cargo, the price makes sense.
14. A tornado is heading towards wind turbines.
Found in: Global Estimate. Cost: $229 million in annual damages in the United States
With propellers as long as 110 yards, wind turbines are enormous pieces of machinery. A tornado dwarfs these wind turbines, despite the fact that they dwarf any human standing next to them.
When you take into account the distance from the funnel’s tip to the storm cloud’s base, these enormous natural disasters can reach heights of up to 5,000 feet. In America, tornadoes inflict $229 million in damage annually on average.
15. Australia in Relation to Pluto
Found in: Extraterrestrial Estimated Cost: *$1.553 trillion (total GDP of Australia)
Pluto is one of the smaller planets, despite the fact that we prefer to think of planets as enormous structures. Pluto is a minor planet that appears to be narrower than Australia and less massive than Eris.
Australia in comparison to Pluto ()
Because Pluto’s average temperature is -387 degrees Fahrenheit, no human could survive there, leading scientists to believe that no life exists there. Pluto’s frigid atmosphere would cause any liquid, gaseous, or water to instantly freeze to ice.
