These metals were used as a medium of exchange and a store of value. For example: - The word "pound" in the British Pound Sterling originally referred to a pound weight of silver. - The word "dollar" comes from the German word "Thaler," which was a large silver coin first minted in the 16th century. 📌Over time, as paper money and non-precious metal coins became more common, the connection to specific weights of precious metals became less direct. However, the historical association with weights and measures has persisted in the names of many currencies. . . . 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁. @FACTSJUNKIES

𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗗𝗼 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘀❓ ✅Elephants live in warm climates and need to get rid of excess body heat. Their large ears help them cool down by flapping them to create a breeze, and by dilating their blood vessels to increase blood flow to their ears. 📌Hold an ice cube in your palm. It will begin to melt. Heat moves from one location of high heat to another of low heat. The ice cube does not make your hand cold. In reality, the heat from your hand warms the ice cube. So this is why it melts. This is exactly what happens in an elephant's ears when his body temperature exceeds that of his surroundings. Heat is emitted from the ears. 📌Elephants can hear very soft sounds with their large ears, which helps them escape predators . . . 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁. @FACTSJUNKIES

𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗹𝘆❓ ✅ A long time ago, birds that would eventually become penguins had wings that were suited for flying. Over time, these wings changed and became better for swimming instead of flying. 📌 As penguins spent more time in the water, their bodies adapted to this new environment. Their wings became flippers, which are perfect for swimming and diving. Eventually, it became too much work for penguins to try to fly, so they stopped trying. Instead, they focused on becoming amazing swimmers! . . . 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁. @FACTSJUNKIES

𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗗𝗼 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝟱 𝗕𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘀 𝗔𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺❓ ✅Most of the soft drinks or soda bottles are pressurized by filling gas; so the plastic bottle must be able to withstand the pressure. It should also absorb the shocks when you accidently drop down the bottle.Bottled water is not carbonated (it is not filled with gas) so there is no need for a pointed bottom. Hence it has a flat bottom. A flat bottom uses less plastic, and holds up better in drop testing. 📌Soft drinks are served chilled. When a liquid is cooled, its volume changes and the bottle must not buckle because of this change in volume. The corner or the tip of the bump can slightly expand/contract without breaking which takes care of the change in volume of the liquid.Hence, soft drink bottles have 5 bumps (corrugations) which increases the strength of the bottle.And it's able to withstand the pressure of the gas inside it. This also increases the stability of the bottle. . . . 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁. @FACTSJUNKIES

𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗱𝗼 𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲❓ ✅In space, astronauts are far away from the Earth's gravity and are moving at high speeds, which means that time passes more slowly for them compared to people on Earth.This effect is known as time dilation.According to Einstein's theory of relativity, more the velocity then more will be the time dilation. 📌The difference in the rate of time passage is very small, but over long periods of time, it can add up. For example, astronauts on the International Space Station for six months will have aged slightly less than people on Earth during that same period. However, this time dilation effect is only significant at very high speeds and in very strong gravitational fields, and is not noticeable in day-to-day life. . . .

𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮❓ ✅China is tremendously interested in global sports, yet it doesn't play or watch cricket. But do you understand why? 📌China is a strong supporter of the Olympics and works hard to ensure its success, which is why Chinese athletes have won the majority of Olympic medals. Cricket does not receive special attention in this country because it is not an Olympic sport. 📌The second reason behind not playing cricket is that The British invented cricket and pushed it throughout their colonies. By increasing the game's popularity, they brought it to an international level by forming teams of themselves and colonies.

As it turns out, this is not coincidental, but does have some scientific basis to it. 📌It’s actually a bodily reflex known as the Palmar Grasp Reflex which is typically observed in infants.

WHY Railway tracks have crushed stones ❓ ✅ The crushed stones on railway tracks are called Track Ballast.

There are many reasons to use them, let's take a look. 📌 They provide a base support for railway tracks, They don't allow vegetation to grow on railway tracks which could weaken the ground on which the railway lines run, it also prevent water from reaching the track on a regular basis and softening the ground.It doesn't completely seal off water from the railway tracks but it facilitates proper drainage beneath or around the track to ensure that the water doesn't stay on it. They absorbs vibration and reduce the expansion of railway tracks due to heat. . . . If you like it then share it. @FACTSJUNKIES
