Hi! I do have some information about x-rays! X-rays work by sending energy through a material like tissues in the human body. Different tissues absorb different amounts of this energy. So, when a special machine takes a photo of the body, the tissues appear in different shades and brightness of white.

Hello, Issa. People called the Titanic unsinkable because they thought it would never sink! The ship had 16 compartments in the bottom that could hold water if the ship got a leak. However, those compartments didn't seal all the way to the top. So, when the Titanic hit the iceberg, water flooded into several compartments. Then those compartments overflowed into other compartments, causing the ship to sink.

The RMS Titanic struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912. The crew members tried to steer the ship away, but they reacted too late. The ice tore holes in the side of the ship, and water started pouring in. As the compartments filled up, the ship tilted, sank, and even broke in half.

That's a great question, Makynlee. Some experts think that science has an important job. It can bring back creatures that have gone extinct, ESPECIALLY if humans are what caused the creatures to disappear. Others worry about how that might affect humans and the environment. Dire wolves died out more than 10 thousand years ago, so there's still a lot about the creatures that researchers don't know. However, scientists ask big questions just like yours every day! 🐺

That depends on how fast you're walking! A marathon is 26.2 miles (42.2 km) long. Let's say you're walking at a speed of 3 miles per hour (4.8 kph). That is about the speed of an average adult. In that case, it would take you nearly nine hours to finish the marathon! 🦶 🦶
