Saltwater crocodiles enjoy catching a wave and can travel hundreds of kilometres by "surfing" on ocean currents, a study suggests. Australian researchers used sonar sensors and satellite transmitters to monitor 20 reptiles' movements. They found the crocodiles undertook numerous trips of over 1 Okm (6.2 miles) , but only when a current flowed in their direction of travel. Estuarine or saltwater crocodiles are the world's largest reptiles and can grow up to 5.5m in length. They are poor swimmers and despite their name, they inhabit fresh water as well as estuaries. Their "home" range, however, spans over thousands of kilometres of South-East Asia. Researchers have long been puzzled by how crocodiles managed to spread themselves so widely. "Of all the amazing things animals can do, the abil ity of certain species to migrate significant distances across formidable geographical barriers is one of the most remarkable," write the authors of the recent study. Although the crocodiles spend most of their life in salt water, they are not considered marine animals as they rely on land for food and water. During the research, a team led by Dr Hamish Campbell, from the University of Queensland, captured 20 crocodiles living in the North Kennedy tidal river in Queensland, northern Australia, and tagged them with satell ite transmitters. They found that during the period of study, eight of them ventured out into the open ocean. One travelled from the river mouth all the way to the west coast of the Cape York Peninsula, in Queensland's far north. That amount to a total of 590km covered over 25 days. To do that, the ocean trotter hitched a ride on a current within the Gulf of Carpentaria (that separates Cape York from Arnhem Land, to the west). This current occurs seasonally, during the rainy season. "These crocodiles can survive for long periods in saltwater without eating or drinking, so by only travelling when surface currents are favorable, they would be able to move long distances by sea," commented Dr Campbell. Dr Campbell said that the results of the study gave important clues to understanding the evolution of the world's largest reptiles. "This not only helps to explains how estuarine crocodiles move between oceanic islands, but also contributes to the theory that crocodil ians have crossed major marine barriers during their evolutionary past," he said. Adapated https://www. bbc.comlnews/1 0260382 "Of all the amazing things animals can do, the ability of certain species to migrate significant distances across formidable geographical barriers is one of the most remarkable". What does the sentence mean? (A) To hibernate during the hard season. (B) To carry out mating season. (C) To compete with other estuarine crocodiles. (D) To overcome natural obstacle. (E) To confirm the belief that saltwater crocodiles are poor swimmers and despite their name, they inhabit fresh water as well as estuaries.

In the mid-nineteenth century, the United States had tremendous natural resources that could be exploited in order to develop heavy' industry. Most of the raw materials that are valuable in the manufacture of machinery, transportation faci lities, and consumer goods lay ready to be worked into wealth. Iron, coal, and oil-the basic ingredients of industrial growth-were plentiful and needed only the application of technical expertise, organizational skill, and labor. One crucial development in this movement toward industrialization was the growth of the railroads. The railway network expanded rapidly until the railroad map of the United States looked like a spider's web, with the steel filaments connecting all important sources of raw materials, their places of manufacture, and their centers of distribution. The railroads contributed to the industrial growth not only by connecting these major centers, but also by themselves consuming enormous amounts of fuel, iron, and coal. Many factors influenced emerging modes of production. For example, machine tools, the tools used to make goods, were steadily improved in the latter part of the nineteenth century - always with an eye to speedier production and lower unit costs. The products of the factories were rapidly absorbed by the growing cities that sheltered the workers and the distributors. The increased urban population was nourished by the increased farm production that, in turn, was made more productive by the use of the new farm machinery. American agricultural production kept up with the urban demand and still had surpluses for sale to the industrial centers of Europe. The labor that ran the factories and built the railways was recruited in part from American farm areas where people were being displaced by farm machinery, in part from Asia, and in part from Europe. Europe now began to send tides of immigrants from eastern and southern Europe - most of whom were originally poor farmers but who settled in American industrial cities. The money to finance this tremendous expansion of the American economy still came from European financiers for the most part, but the Americans were approaching the day when their expansion could be financed in their own "money market". According to the passage, what was one effect of the improvement of machine tools? (A) A reduction in industrial jobs. (B) Lower manufacturing costs. (C) Better distribution of goods. (D) More efficient transportation of natural resources. (E) A lower production of merchandises.

As far back as our collective memory extends, we've been mesmerized by the dance of the planets across our skies. Even now, despite all our knowledge and technology, their bq.sic movements can still surprise and captivate us. The waltz between Earth and Venus around the Sun has been doing just that, for centuries - and it certainly does make a stunning pattern. The beautiful animation is based on data from University of Wisconsin geoscientist Steven Dutch, who created an interactive graphic in 201 2, demonstrating how Venus's closest orbital points to Earth, over eight years, map out the points of a "remarkable, but not perfect" pentagram in the sky. "The orbits are approximated as circles, so this animation cannot be used for accurate predictions," Dutch stated. In a measure of eccentricity - how much an orbit deviates from a circle - Venus scores 0.007, whereas Mercury, with the most elliptical planetary orbit in our Solar System, has an eccentricity of 0.21 . This measurement is the ratio between a planet's farthest and nearest orbital point from the Sun, and gives a sense of how elongated the ellipse is. Earth's eccentricity is 0.01 67, and the Sun isn't central to this ell ipse - it's closer to one end. Modern technology now allows us to visualize these orbital patterns across much greater stretches of time, like the pretty and chaotic examples. But the only thing these gravity-bound planetary movements reflect is that patterns are a fundamental part of nature and beautiful to look at, too. https://www.sciencealert.com/the-celestial-dance-between-earth-and-venus-draws-a-stunning-pattern-th rough-space "The orbits are approximated as circles, so this animation cannot be used for *accurate* predictions,".
