Due to its anthropogenic origin, the spoil tip is a site where primary ecological succession has occurred. Vegetation – initially low, later becoming more tree-like – gradually expanded from the south and southeast. The tree species found on the spoil tip include wych elms, linden trees, silver birches, rowans, and dwarf-growing Scotch ...
The largest iceberg in recent history, named B-15, was measured at nearly 300 by 40 kilometres (186 by 25 mi) in 2000. [6] The largest iceberg on record was an Antarctic tabular iceberg measuring 335 by 97 kilometres (208 by 60 mi) sighted 240 kilometres (150 mi) west of Scott Island , in the South Pacific Ocean, by the USS Glacier on November ...

Land plants evolved from a group of freshwater green algae, perhaps as early as 850 mya, [3] but algae-like plants might have evolved as early as 1 billion years ago. [2] The closest living relatives of land plants are the charophytes, specifically Charales; if modern Charales are similar to the distant ancestors they share with land plants, this means that the land plants evolved from a ...
These pictures were taken about six hours after the SS Titanic hit the iceberg. Looking at the picture of the iceberg, you can see the deep gash across the end of the iceberg.'"

The fossil history of flowering plants records the development of flowers and other distinctive structures of the angiosperms, now the dominant group of plants on land.The history is controversial as flowering plants appear in great diversity in the Cretaceous, with scanty and debatable records before that, creating a puzzle for evolutionary biologists that Charles Darwin named an "abominable ...
