#Oxalis plant goes ‘ballistic’ when touched
Seeds are catapulted up to 4 metres away on what plant ‘wants’ to be animal that agitated it, for wide dispersal
Stored strain energy releases the seeds consecutively like dominoes

#Lotus leaf is #ultrahydrophobic, #water beading up and rolling straight off
Its surface has nano-structures covered with epicuticular #wax crystals, these protrusions and the air trapped between them stops water from adhering

Aviation at its best🛫✈✈✈
An Airbus 350 is lined up for take off and another Airbus 380 is cleared to land on the same runway !!!
Wonderful, Sensational View.
Under the deep shade of a forest canopy begonia pavonina leaves glimmer an iridescent blue
This colour originates from specialised chloroplasts, an adaptation to extract the most energy from the dim light reaching forest floors, for photosynthesis 1/🧵
Saint-Malo, Brittany, has the highest tides in Europe, with water that can rise 13 m over. These houses (here seen during storm Ciara), are built as a sea wall and 4 layer glass on the front windows [full video, HD, Easy Ride: https://t.co/tHTXvcBD1y] https://t.co/VI994vSIog
LUNGS OF THE SEA
🌿Seagrasses are known as the "lungs of the sea" because 1 sqm of seagrass can generate 10 liters of oxygen every day through photosynthesis.

Indian Pipe or Ghost Plant: This fascinating plant is one of nature’s weird wonders. It has no chlorophyll & doesn’t depend on photosynthesis; this ghostly white plant is able to grow in the darkest of forests.
Not a fungus at all, it's actually a member of the blueberry family.
perspective - how immense the Great #Pyramid of #Giza truly is. To build the Great Pyramid it took more than 2,300,000 limestone and granite blocks with each block of stone in the pyramid weighing at least 2 tons. https://t.co/DhCECeztxI #funnlearn#funnlearn22

#Newton's 1st law of motion, object remains in same state of motion unless acted upon by a force. Huge winds act on this waters natural propensity to follow gravity. The magnitude of the two forces are equal, and their directions are opposite #naneghat#funnlearn#funnlearn22
