Movement.

Understanding Movement - Part 1

Part 1.

Movement occurs when there is a change in position. It is an activity that happens in almost every aspect of our lives. The metamorphosis from the fertilization of the human egg to the development of a baby is achieved through movement. The planets rotate in orbit, and the Earth spins around an imaginary axis running from the North Pole to the South Pole. This takes approximately 24 hours, which is why we experience a complete cycle of day and night within that period.

Things That Move

All living things move except plants, which are somewhat stationary because their roots are fixed in the ground. Water moves from the roots through the stem to the leaves of plants; some leaves fold and open, while branches and leaves are whirled by the wind. Animals move in search of shelter and food, as well as for other reasons behind human movement.

Things That Don't Move

Certainly, inanimate objects are lifeless and don't move—examples include books, plates, and wooden beds.

Mountains.

Razzak Osemobor Razzak Osemobor July 10, 2025 There are moments while traveling that truly take my breath away. I often find myself lost in such moments, trying to capture the beauty of nature. We’ve heard it said that the Earth is spherical—a theory supported by science and geographers. But when you travel through certain parts of Nigeria and see uneven landscapes, with valleys, hills, and mountains, it can feel like a contradiction to that idea. These uneven lands—especially the hills and mountains—are mostly found in the northern parts of Nigeria, though some can also be seen in the south. For travelers, these features are more than just landmarks. They are sources of wonder, resources, and sometimes even places of settlement. When visiting mountainous regions, it’s not uncommon to see people staring up at the peaks in awe. Some feel the urge to climb to the top to see how the world looks from above...

My Daily Time Table.

My Daily Timetable My Daily Timetable Life is a journey filled with many treasures. How do we grasp all these treasures with a daily plan? The bedrock of any achievement is the foundation. While personalities like Elon Musk may now enjoy more sleep, it is likely due to the solid foundation he laid earlier in life. So, should we continue to sleep and wake up with unfulfilled aspirations? A daily plan can be as simple as visiting a restaurant for a burger and a drink. However, a single event in your daily routine is not enough to keep you healthy, creative, and progressive. Tools That Help My Daily Timetable These tools help keep us on track and make progress with our daily plans: Clock: Setting an alarm helps those who wake up late to start their day early. Calendar: Calendars assist in planning events. Some people prefer paper calendars, while others use digital versions for reminders. ...

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: 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. Bridges: Bridges are constructed over water bodies, such as rivers, to ease movement from one place to another. Vehicles and Aircraft: Long-distance journeys are made easier by using vehicles, trains, and jets. Climbing: The use of a rope and hook can ease movement when climbing mountains. ...

Climate

Climate in Nigeria Climate in Nigeria Nigeria, a country in West Africa, is made up of six geopolitical zones: South-South, South-West, South-East, North-East, North-West, and North-Central. Weather conditions vary across these regions due to several factors: Factors Influencing Nigeria's Climate Latitude and location: Nigeria spans from the tropical rainforest in the south to the semi-arid Sahel in the north. This variation in latitude affects temperature, humidity, and rainfall levels. Proximity to water bodies: The Atlantic Ocean influences the climate of coastal areas like Lagos and Port Harcourt, bringing frequent rainfall and humidity. Altitude: Higher-altitude areas such as the Mambilla Plateau and Jos Plateau have cooler and more temperate climates compared to lowlands. Vegetation and land use: Different vege...
