Into the Sea What Is Erosion? Have you ever made a sand castle at the beach? You must pick a good spot for it. If it is too close to the water, waves will quickly wash it away. Ocean waves and wind can also wash away land. They can change the shape of an island, which is land circled by water. When wind and water change the shape of Earth, it is called erosion. Waves are the biggest cause of erosion at the beach. Ocean waves are always active and moving onto the shore. They carry the sand away bit by bit. Strong waves are one of the properties of big storms. These waves explode as they crash onto the beach. Storm waves can move a lot of sand quickly. Erosion of Beaches. Some people build houses near the ocean. Waves take away the sand between the houses and the sea. As the beach disappears, the water gets closer to houses and other solid buildings on the beach. Some buildings can even be washed away. Erosion of Rocks. Erosion also happens on steep, rocky cliffs or sharp slopes. First, waves smash into the bottom of the cliffs. Then they carry away tiny pieces of rock. Over time, many small pieces of rock wash away from the bottom of the cliff. This makes the top of the cliff weak.The cliff can crumble and fall into the sea. Stopping Erosion. Some local communities work to stop erosion to nearby beaches. These towns have built sea walls of large boulders or rocks. The rocks are placed in a row in the sea. When waves hit the sea wall, they slow down. Then the waves can't pull sand away.Some towns make rules about buildings on the beach. New buildings must be far from the water. Then they won't wash away like a sand castle.

Parts of Microscope 1. Arm It is in the back of the microscope and supports the objectives and ocular. Also, it is the part that we use to carry or lift it. 2. Base It’s the bottom of the scope. In addition, it houses the light source and the back section of base acts as a handle to carry the scope. 3. Course Focusing Knob We use it to adjust the position of objective lenses. Also, this should be done keeping in mind that the objective should not hit the slide. In addition, it should be stopped when the object is completely visible through the ocular. 4. Fine Focusing Knob We use it to bring the specimen in perfect focus once the specimen is visible through the course-focusing knob. Also, focus slowly to avoid contact between the objective and the specimen. 5. Illuminator It is the light source of the microscope. 6. Numerical Aperture or Objective lens It is found in a compound scope and is the lens that is closest to the specimen. 7. Ocular Lens This is the lens closest to the viewer in a compound light microscope. 8. Oil immersion Lens This is a 100x (100 times) objective lens. Also, this lens is small in order to attain high resolution and magnification. Furthermore, due to its size, it is important for the lens to get as much light as possible. Moreover, by immersion of lens in oil it eliminates the refraction of light, it happens because the glass and oil have almost the same refractive index. Most noteworthy, in this way the light is maximized and gives the clearest image. Besides, It oil immersion lens is used without oil then the produced Image will become unclear and has a poor resolution.

Cricket A Fun Sport. People around the world play an exciting sport called cricket. In cricket, a batter hits a ball with a large flat bat. The ball is about the same size as a baseball. The Basics. Two teams play a game of cricket. Each team has eleven players. They play on an oval field with an area in the middle called a pitch. The teams take turns batting and bowling, or throwing a ball. Two batters on the batting team stand on each end of the pitch. The team that isn't batting plays in the field. One player on each team is the bowler. The bowler throws a ball to a batter on the other team. The bowler tries to hit three small posts in the ground near the batter. These posts are called stumps. At the top of the stumps are two small pieces of wood called bails. Together, the stumps and bails are called wicket. If the bowler's ball knocks the bails off the wicket stumps, the batter is out. The batter protects the wicket by hitting the ball with his or her bat. If the batter hits the ball, he or she runs down the pitch. If the batter swaps places with the other batter, he or she scores one point. The point is called a run. Nine players on the bowling team play in the field. Their job is to get the balls that the batter hits. They can get the batter out by catching the ball. They can also throw the ball and hit the wicket to get an out. After ten outs, the bowling team gets their turn at bat. At the end of the game, the team with more runs wins. The History of Cricket. In the 1500s, children in England played cricket. By the early 1700s, adults started playing as professionals. In 1788, people created the cricket rules still in use today. Soon, cricket teams formed outside England as well. Then, people created longer cricket matches called Tests for world championships. Cricket teams played once at the Olympic Games in 1900. Some fans hope cricket teams will one day play in every Summer Olympic Games. Cricket Around the World. Today, people play cricket around the world. Ten countries have teams that play in Test matches. That's Cricket! Since its start as a children's game, cricket has been popular. Today, it is followed by billions of fans around the world. You can enjoy cricket, too!
