Movement Episode 2.

Part 2.

There are limitations to movement in almost every part of the world. Some people want to explore movement through rivers, oceans, and to the tops of mountains and skyscrapers, but it's important to remember that such places may have restrictions, and safety should always come first.

Things That Aid Mobility:

Ladder
  • Ladder: We are under gravitational pull, so there is a limit to how high we can reach. For example, replacing an outdoor electric bulb requires a ladder.
  • Manlift: For those working in manufacturing or construction, a manlift is useful for tasks at height.
Manlift
  • Bridges: Bridges are constructed over water bodies, such as rivers, to ease movement from one place to another.
Bridges
  • Vehicles and Aircraft: Long-distance journeys are made easier by using vehicles, trains, and jets.
Elevators
  • Climbing: The use of a rope and hook can ease movement when climbing mountains.
Access Control
  • Ferry, Speedboats, and Canoes: For water travel, these vessels facilitate movement as walking on a river or sea is not possible.

Safe Working Load — Of the Human Body Author: Razzak Osemobor Safe Working Load — Of the Human Body There is an aspect of safety that many often overlook, and that is the safe working load . Where is this taking us? Could I be referring to the safe working load for cranes and other lifting equipment? No, please! This is far from that.

Termite

Why Termites Emerge After Rainfall Termite There is a time when people in the southern part of Nigeria witness the flight of termites after a few rains prior to the wet season. The flight takes a period of one to three days— then they are gone after shedding their wings. What is this all about? Nothing other than termites—why they emerge after a few rains, their economic importance (pros and cons), and what to do when they emerge. Termites emerging after a long dry season is a natural phenomenon. This is typically due to a swarming behavior, where reproductive termites, "alates," leave their colonies to establish new ones. Here's why it happens: Why Termites Emerge After a Few Rainfalls Moisture activation: After a prolonged dry spell, rain softens the soil, making it easier for termites to move and form new nests. Reproductive cycle: Rainfall often triggers the annual reproductive cycle, sig...

Soil Episode 2.

Soil: Characteristics and Benefits to Humans Colors of soil can be red, pale brown, dark brown, black, white, or gray. Soils from different countries and regions vary in color; iron oxides result in red soils which are common in tropical regions while salt and calcium carbonate in soils result in white soils. Soil as a Natural Resource Soil is a natural resource found all over the world. Even small islands have dry land covered with sand. Beneath water bodies, different kinds of soil exist. Mountainous areas are also surrounded by sand. Rocks break down into smaller particles due to land degradation, mining, weathering, and natural events such as rainfall and volcanic eruptions. This process enables plants to grow even in mountainous areas and on concrete surfaces. Benefits of Soil to Humans...
