path to the top of Africa's tallest mountain has many cabins for climbers to use Well other routes have caves where people can camp Unlike other Mighty Mountain such as Everest and K2 in the Himalayas Kilimanjaro can be climbed even by novices For this reason A growing contingent of people who are fond of Adventure Are coming to Tanzania Still Not every Optimus dreams will come true and several be forced to turn back mid hike What impairs some climbers and makes others successful Kilimanjaro is only for people who are sufficiently prepared If you become ill there is

no ambulance to take you to the hospital Instead your guys will have to haul you down the mountain if you break her ankle Or have difficulty breathing the thin Mountain Air For this reason burning calories by exercising before the trip is vital Healthy nutrition is also strongly recommended In order to ensure you have ample energy under a strong as possible Some people exert themselves too much by attempting to rush to the top Acting as if they were trying to meet a deadline These inpatient climbers Often turned back due to exhaustion and sickness Instead those who

dinosaurs really died Many scientists and intellectuals think the dinosaurs died when an asteroid smashed into the Earth millions of years ago However recently there has been some controversy over this Theory Some scientists think that it isn't accurate They think that a tiny insect may have been the biggest factor in the death of these huge creatures That insect what's the mosquito These scientists do think that an asteroid hit the earth in the time of the dinosaurs But that wasn't what killed all of them At that time Insect including the mosquito we're beginning to evolve Today we

can regulate the number of mosquitoes with pesticides But that was impossible millions of years ago The mosquitoes multiplied quickly And they were certainly not idle Since they were so many mosquitoes it was easy for them to bite many of the dinosaurs When they bet another living thing the mosquitoes pass along a deadly disease So the dinosaurs were stricken with the disease The vast majority of them From the vegetarian to the meat eaters Died To reinforce this idea scientist dress how gradually the dinosaurs died If an asteroid killed them they would have died very quickly But

the number of dinosaurs decreased slowly In addition Scientists have found genetic material of mosquitoes in fossils This material proves that mosquitoes existed back then Although there may have been other factors the dinosaurs died mainly because of disease the scientist say No matter how it happened The dinosaurs death had a major impact on other living things Many dinosaurs ate mammals After the dinosaurs died mammals were able to evolve and produce offspring Birds also evolved Scientists have analyzed the genomes of birds And I've discovered that birds have identical genetic material to some dinosaurs So there may still

danger of disappearing But little is being done to save them These forests are located at the tops of mountains Generally near the equator These humid wooded mountaintops are mainly in African and Central and South American countries They are cold Cloud forests Because their height allows for the formation of clouds among the trees Rainforests produce large amounts of oxygen Cloud forests produce comparative amounts of water The trees in these forests pull water out of the clouds The moisture gathers on the leaves When it drifts it is deposited into streams The streams flow into Towns at the

bottom of the mountain Then the water is distributed to people The yearly cumulative rainfall in these areas is 173 to 198cm Cloud forest can pulling up to 60% of that This water is crucial to the plants and the people in the area It helps them survive Cloud forests are also the birthplace of countless species of plants that can't be found anywhere else One small cloud forest has the capacity for as many types of plants as there are in all of Europe There are so many in fact that scientists haven't made a comprehensive list of them

yet These forests are being destroyed with increasing frequency Trees are being cut down And roads are being built in their place Some people have an objective to get Federal money to protect the forests But they have had little success Another strategy is to replace the destroyed plants That too has been difficult because the plants are so unique There's plenty of work to be done But saving the cloud forest is still a possibility Avail Avail Avail is help or benefit His study was to no avail because he failed the test Define Define To Define means to

very crowded as the population expanded Then a horrifying disease broke out People summons doctors But it was to no avail because no one understood how the disease spread It seems random They didn't know that it was an organism instead they defined disease as a punishment from there Are gods Thucydides was incredulous that the gods caused the plague but he explained what others believe There was an old long verse which predicted the disease to paraphrase it The verse said the gods would send it as he's during a war As a result Large crowds gathered at shrines

to ask the gods to stop the plague but the situation Only worsened Because these people were so close to each other they became sick That's how they learned a fundamental lesson about the plague It spread from person to person People wanted to leave the crowded City but they dreaded with the Army outside would do to them At this time Lucidity is got sick too He quickly scribbled down notes Because he thought he would soon die His writing shows the stark contrast between people's behavior before and during the flag There were riots and people ignored laws

they didn't think they live long enough to be punished Many sick people were left to die in solitude because no one wanted to be near them The plague lingered for two years But luckily thucydides survived Without his writing we would know much less about ancient Greece and the plague of Athens Automobile Automobile An automobile is a car The first automobiles were very different from the ones that exist today Candidate Candidate A candidate is a person who is competing to win something such as a job Alice is the best candidate for the job Confidential Confidential If
