The Rainman of Rajasthan

I have just learned that 3,000,000 people in other parts of the world have no access to clean and healthy water, and instead they have walk around to far distances just to collect disgusting water that has been covered in filth by humans and animals. The Water Project’s goal is to provide clean water to those who don’t have access to it. They work around the world in places where they can produce the water, They have achieved so many things from providing clean water so that people can have a better and more hygienic life, they’ve even provided reusable toilets that prevented killer diseases like diarrhea from spreading.

QUICK WRITE

T’was dawn at the great house. The rooms and hallways were ghostly, and as I took step closer to the mysterious library,  the sunlight shone through the glass above all the books. I had already calmed down. The ghastly winds outside had blasted through the library, The books merged from the shelves and unfolded a fluorescent light lit across the whole room it was like a protection spell from all the ghouls and demons and sins that lurked in the darkness. Thank you for reading and hope you enjoyed my blog post.

Mass Extinction Events

The common causes of mass extinctions are usually natural disasters like volcanoes and Extinction events can cause species of animals to evolve to more better versions of themselves. For Example dinosaurs evolved into birds and the homosapians evolved into humans. Though mass extinctions are deadly, they open a door for new species of creatures from the  tallest of Dinosaurs the Breviparopus, to the smallest primate the pygmy Marmoset.  There were different kind of mass extinctions in Earth’s History like the biggest mass extinction in the world, it was in the Permian Triassic period, this was the extinction before the dinosaurs.
Hope you learned some facts about the world's history and hope you enjoyed my blog post today see you next time.
