			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Caterpillar is an insect but actually it is a stage in the life of butterflies and moths. This stage is also called as larval stage. Skin of caterpillar shed many times through the process of development of insect. Here are some facts about caterpillars.<span id="more-2040"></span></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Life span</strong>: Life span of a caterpillar is usually 3 to 4 weeks before it enters in the next stage, which is called pupation. However, variation can be seen in some animals.</li>
<li><strong>Physical appearance</strong>: They have no bones but they have more than one thousand muscles. Usually 3 pairs of legs and 5 pairs of pro legs are present in caterpillars. They have the senses of touch, smell and taste.</li>
<li><strong>Diet</strong>: Usually caterpillars are herbivores and they feed on leaves. However, they can eat other parts of plants as well. Fungi, other caterpillars and dead animals are also part of their food.</li>
<li><strong>Habitat</strong>: caterpillars are found in almost every environment, sandy beaches, mountains and forests, they are found all around the world. Caterpillars are also found in arctic areas.</li>
<li><strong>Threats:</strong> Caterpillars also face different threats like birds and parasites, but biggest threats for them are wasps. Human can also damage them, unknowingly.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are different types of pollution; one of them is Ocean pollution. Ocean pollution is not limited to oceans, it affects the marine life and in return it affects the human health. Here are some eye opening facts about ocean pollution. <span id="more-2034"></span></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Sources of Ocean pollution</strong>: There are different sources of ocean pollution, oil spills; waste dumping and toxic wastes are just few of them. Agricultural runoff and plastics are also play a major role in ocean pollution.</li>
<li><strong>Developmental activities and ocean pollution</strong>: A lot of developmental activities are always take place near oceans like construction, mining, fisheries, tourism and aquaculture, which leads to ocean development.</li>
<li><strong>Ocean gyres</strong>: Plastics and other materials are discarded in oceans; these wastes concentrate in some areas, which are called as gyres. The North Pacific Gyre is larger than the American State Texas.</li>
<li><strong>Threat for ocean life:</strong> Toxic wastes accumulate in the body of marine life and when these animals are consumed by human, they cause different kinds of diseases. In some cases, deaths can also occur.</li>
<li><strong>Prevention</strong>: Limiting the recreational activities in oceans and putting a ban on waste dumping in oceans can reduce the ocean pollution to some extent. Moreover, authorities should make sure that only treated water is dumped into the oceans.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The world is filled up with large number of crystalline materials like diamonds, quartz and snowflakes. The role of crystalline materials in our life is very important. Here are some interesting facts about crystals. <span id="more-2029"></span> </p>
<p><strong>1. </strong><strong>Definition</strong></p>
<p>Crystals are such solid materials in which atoms and molecules are necessarily arranged in regular or well-defined and repeating pattern. All crystals have a common specialized feature which is the flat surfaces of surfaces. Salt crystals, diamond, rubies, emeralds, snowflakes and quartz are some common types of crystals.</p>
<p><strong>2. </strong><strong>Crystallization</strong></p>
<p>Crystallization is the name of crystal formation process which occurs naturally. In crystallization process, the liquid cool down and then solidify slowly. If the rate of solidification is such that, the molecules and atoms arrange themselves in regular pattern, the resultant substance is called crystal.</p>
<p><strong>3. </strong><strong>Shapes of Crystals</strong></p>
<p>The liquid could solidify in either shape during crystallization, but the common shapes of crystals are seven. These shapes are trigonal, hexagonal, cubic, triclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal and monoclinic.</p>
<p><strong>4. </strong><strong>Rocks</strong></p>
<p>Rocks are the largest naturally existing example of crystals. Rocks are mostly formed by cooling down and slowly solidifying the magma.</p>
<p><strong>5. </strong><strong>Diamonds</strong></p>
<p>Diamonds are an interesting example of crystals, as they consist of only one molecule made by repetitive orientation of lots of atoms.</p>
