What happened to Titanic Ship actually..?

Tweet

You see... metals undergo yielding till some point. But brittle ones break when impact is there just like glass. Titanic was travelling in very cold waters which made the metal (ship made up of) kinda brittle in nature. When it hit the ice berg, it got shattered like glass and water kept coming in. Eventually it sank. Understanding these phenomenon helped people to manufacture materials which can overcome this kind of problem (brittleness).

Plantation on mountains.. very high

Tweet

There is frequent rainfall and soil erosion on very high mountains and very cloudy.. Because of these reasons the plantation on very high mountains contains of very small plants ... some grass families... People in such areas use the same plants to build boats... Believe it or not..!!

Plantation in cold or icy places

Tweet

I came to know recently that the trees in icy places like himalayas etc.. have very dark leaves. As the sunlight is rare, and the place is cold, they evolved in such a way that they have to take as much heat as possible (the amount they require) from the environment (sun). Hence the leaves are dark to absorb more heat...

Ever wondered about this matter ..?
