Let's say you live in, say, Toronto. Suddenly, the Earth explodes. Does Toronto disappear? So what then was Toronto? And if a small comet hits Canada and obliterates half of the city, do you have Half a Toronto left? i.e., can half of a place disappear?

We tend to measure places by area, so, how deep down or high up does a place begin or end? Is the tip of the CN Tower the top end of the city, or is it the stratosphere? Does the Toronto Municipality have any jurisdiction 2 miles under the ground??

Are sound waves always present in the air even though we might not be able to hear them? For example, if nothing is making noise in a room that we can hear, are there still inaudible sound waves in the room nonetheless? Also, what is the electromagnetic spectrum? I've been trying to find this out on my own, but I haven't found anything that has answered my question.

I understand the reasons behind getting physically tired, i.e. burning off food and using up energy but why do we get mentally tired? I'm talking about when we are concentrating on something for a long period of time and we find it draining. What bodily resource are we using up for us to get tired? I hope my question makes sense!
