Sleep

Sleep is a state of body and mind such that it is relaxing and allows us to get refreshed. Without sleep, life is impossible. Every living thing sleeps. It mainly relaxes the body and mind. But does it do another thing as well? Here's what I think:
Sleep acts as a protector. It protects us from somewhat dangerous things that we cannot live through if we were awake. Some reasons are:


  • According to Mr. Allan Zullo , author of "World's Dumbest Crooks and other true tales of bloopers, botches & blunders" states that a 37 year old man ,who was camping one night, was found 70 feet (12 metres) below, at the base of a cliff. Amazingly he wasn't seriously injured! A police spokesman informed that he was only alive because he was sleeping.
  • After an accident or some serious incident, we often go into coma, a state of deep sleep. This protects us from dying right away.
  • A theory suggests that we sleep to be protected from attacks of predators.
This suggests that sleep protects us. However there is no study to prove it. But it hopefully it turns out to be true so that we'll be getting more sleep to protect us!

Poem Review: Judge Me Not

Image
I found this really awesome poem online which very inspiring and perfect for a child's recitation. It's written by Audrey Coatesworth. Judge me not by my face, My colour or my hair. Judge me not by my appearence As that would not be fair. I came to Earth as I am. No discussion of my look. Let it be by all my efforts. The use put to my hand. The courage in bad times, Endurance getting through. Kindness to another, so please judge me by what I do.          Thank you. Actually there are supposed to be a few more lines but I put for a kid's recitation so I guess this is enough.

Sea waves Erosion and Deposition

Image
Most of these waves form from wind blowing over the water; sometimes steady winds that blow and sometimes from a storm that forms over the water. The energy of waves does the work of erosion when a wave reaches the shore. The highest part of a wave is called the   wave crest. The lowest part is called the   wave trough. The vertical distance from the highest part of a wave to the lowest is called the   wave height. The horizontal distance between one wave crest and the next crest, is called the   wavelength.    Wave-cut cliffs form where waves cut into the bottom part of the cliff, eroding away the soil and rocks there. First the waves cut a notch into the base of the cliff. If enough material is cut away, the cliff above can collapse into the water. Many years of this type of erosion can form a   wave-cut platform   .I f waves erode a cliff from two sides, the erosion produced can form an open area in the cliff called an   arch. If the material above the arch eventual
