Tides are created because the Earth and the moon are attracted to each other, just like magnets are attracted to each other. The moon tries to pull at anything on the Earth to bring it closer. But, the Earth is able to hold onto everything except the water. Since the water is always moving, the Earth cannot hold onto it, and the moon is able to pull at it. Each day, there are two high tides and two low tides. The ocean is constantly moving from high tide to low tide, and then back to high tide. There is about 12 hours and 25 minutes between the two high tides.Tides are the periodic rise and falling of large bodies of water. Winds and currents move the surface water causing waves. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon. Another bulge occurs on the opposite side, since the Earth is also being pulled toward the moon (and away from the water on the far side). Ocean levels fluctuate daily as the sun, moon and earth interact. As the moon travels around the earth and as they, together, travel around the sun, the combined gravitational forces cause the world's oceans to rise and fall. Since the earth is rotating while this is happening, two tides occur each day

Ice cream headache is the direct result of the rapid cooling and rewarming of the blood vessels in the palate, or the roof of the mouth. A similar but painless blood vessel response causes the face to appear "flushed" after being outside on a cold day. In both instances, the cold temperature causes blood vessels to constrict and then experience extreme rebound dilation as they warm up again.In the palate, this dilation is sensed by nearby pain receptors, which then send signals back to the brain via the trigeminal nerve, one of the major nerves of the facial area. This nerve also senses facial pain, so as the nerval signals are conducted the brain interprets the pain as coming from the forehead—the same "referred pain" phenomenon seen in heart attacks. Brain-freeze pain may last from a few seconds to a few minutes. Research suggests that the same vascular mechanism and nerve implicated in "brain freeze" cause the aura (sensory disturbance) and pulsatile (throbbing pain) phases of migraines

Besides meaning "snout", "soc" also means "plowshare", since a ploughshare roots through the soil like a pig. If you go far enough back in the language, "soc" actually meant the whole pig. Old Irish "socc" and Welsh "hwch" (pig, sow) come from Common Celtic *sukko- (pig, snout, ploghshare), from the Indo-European root *sû- (pig), which gives us Latin "sus" and English "sow" and "swine".

The term cold-blooded might lead you to believe that a cold-blooded animal would be cold all the time. In fact the body temperature of the animal is dependent on the temperature of its surroundings. Warm blooded animals remain at almost the same temperature all the time, no matter what the air temperature is. To avoid losing body heat they need large amounts of food, and have to maintain layers of fat, feathers or fur.Cold-blooded animals depend directly on sunlight for body warmth. When there is no sun, and the air is cold, the animal gets cold. When its sunny and hot, the animal gets hot, and generally more active.
