Five Amazing Forests in the World

            Five Amazing Forests in the World


1. Crooked Forest, Poland



This grove of oddly-shaped pine trees just outside Nowe Czarnowo, West Pomerania, is a man-made wonder, but nobody is quite certain how or why. Some believe that some sort of tool or technique was used when they were planted in the 1930s so that they could be used in ship building.


Others speculate that the young saplings were crushed by tanks during the Second World War and that’s what made them grow this way. Whatever the reason, the result is one of the strangest forests you are ever likely to see.


2. Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve


Named after the nearby town of Monteverde, this 26,000 acre forest reserve sits high in Costa Rica’s legendary cloud forests.

The Reserve consists of 6 ecological zones, 90% of which are virgin forest. With over 2,500 plant species (including the most orchid species in a single place), 100 species of mammals, 400 bird species, 120 reptilian and amphibian species, there’s bound to be something that catches your eye.


3. Redwood National Park


California redwoods are the tallest trees on the planet and the Redwood National and State Parks are where you’ll find 45% of them. The last of their kind, these old growth giants are spread across four parks and cover 158 square kilometres.

Growing up to 116 metres tall, just looking up at these natural skyscrapers will make you feel tiny. You’ll probably get a little damp too. Fog accounts for up to one-fourth of the precipitation needed so the mighty coast redwoods can survive. Remember, fog drip is a good thing!


4. Sagano Bamboo Forest

A short train ride from Kyoto, this magnificent bamboo towering forest in the district of Arashiyama has become a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike.

Visually, the forest is stunning. But stop for a moment and listen to the wind rustling through the creaking bamboo. That sound has been declared one of the  "100 Soundscapes of Japan" by the Japanese government, a selection of everyday noises intended to encourage locals to stop and enjoy nature's music.


5. Great Bear Rainforest

The last large expanse of coastal temperate rain forest on the planet, the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia is a vast land of ancient cedars, mossy waterfalls and ‘Spirit Bears’, the rare, cream-colored Kermode bear considered sacred by the local T'simshian people.

Roughly the size of Ireland, the forest is also home to coastal gray wolves, grizzly bears, Sitka deer, cougars, mountain goats, orca, salmon, sea lions, sea otters, humpback whales. It is ethereal and magical and teeming with wildlife.

Complement of a Number

Subtraction of Binary Numbers  ;  Octal and Hexadecimal Number  ;  Convert Decimal to Binary Complements Complements are used in digital computers for simplifying the subtraction operation and for logical manipulations. There are two types of complements for each base-r system: (1) the r’s complement and (2) the (r-1)’s complement. When the value of the base is substituted, the two types receive the names 2’s and 1’s complement for binary numbers,  10’s and 9’s complement for decimal numbers. The r’s Complement Given a positive number N in base r with an integer part of n digits, the r’s complement of N is defined as r n   - N for N is not equal to 0 and 0 for N = 0. The following numerical example will help clarify the definition. The 10’s complement of (52520) 10 is 10 5 – 52520 = 47480 The number of digits in the number is n= 5 The 10’s complement of (0.3267) 10 is 1 – 0.3267 = 0.6733 No integer part, so 10 n = 10 0 = 1 The 10’s...

Rules of divisibility part -1

Rules of divisibility In Vedic mathematics, it can be determined whether any part of any other number can be given completely without dividing it by several methods. These methods are based on the law of divisibility. By using these rules, calculations related to factors, parts etc. are simplified. Law of divisibility by number 2 :- If unit digit of given number is divisible by 2 then the given number is divisible by 2 also.                                                                 or  If unit digit of given number is 0,2,4,6 or 8 , then given number is divisible by 2. Example :- 10 ,32 ,74 ,108 ,2058 etc. Law of divisibility by number 3 :- If the sum of digits of given number is divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3 also. Illustration 1:-  In 546532 sum of digits=5+4+6+5+3+2=25 25 is not divisible...

mathematics skills

Are you ready to give your mathematics skills a boost? These simple math tricks can help you perform calculations more quickly and easily. They also come in handy if you want to impress your teacher, parents, or friends. 01 The Answer Is 2 Think of a number. Multiply it by 3. Add 6. Divide this number by 3. Subtract the number from Step 1 from the answer in Step 4. The answer is 2. Same Three-Digit Number Think of any three-digit number in which each of the digits is the same. Examples include 333, 666, 777, and 999. Add up the digits. Divide  the three-digit number by the answer in Step 2. The answer is 37. Six Digits Become Three Take any three-digit number and write it twice to make a six-digit number. Examples include 371371 or 552552. Divide the number by 7. Divide it by 11. Divide it by 13. The order in which you do the division is unimportant! The answer is the three-digit number. Examples: 371371 gives you 371 or 552552 gives you 552. A related trick is to take any three-di...
