Elephants in Thailand

Thailand is a beautiful country which is especially famous for tourism. It is an island country. An island is a tract of land surrounded by water on all sides. The earth consists of 70% water. Together all the inhabitable land mass of earth is divided in 7 continents. The United States of America is a big country in the continent of North America. The USA is a global superpower because it has the biggest war machine in the world. The USA navy operates 11 gigantic ships (among other ships) which can carry up to a hundred military aircrafts each. They are called aircraft carriers. They are powered by nuclear reactors so they are called nuclear powered carriers. Nuclear energy is a clean source of energy which has been around for 80 years. It works on the principle of fission between an electron and a proton. Electrons and protons are subatomic particles. They were first discovered by a scientist named Rutherford. Rutherford was born in a New Zealand which is also an island state near the continent state of Australia. Australia is home to the amazing species of kangaroos. Kangaroos are mammals who keep their young in a pouch in their bellies until they are old enough to survive in the wild. Mammals are animals who feed their young by milk produced in their mammary glands. Milk is an important nutrient for the growth of mammals. It contains calcium which is especially essential for the development of bones. There are many other important minerals. Minerals are useful components of soil found in the earth. There are huge reserves of minerals in Afghanistan. These reserves are especially useful in manufacturing of weapons. Weapons are intelligent devices humans invented to harm each other. The Russians wanted to gain access to the warm waters of Indian Ocean so they attacked Afghanistan with air and ground forces. Air forces consist of aircrafts equipped with weapons to attack from the air. They use powerful engines called jet engines which enable them to gain speeds of upwards of Mach 2. Mach number is the ratio of speed of object to speed of sound in air. Air consists of 71% nitrogen. Nitrogen is an important part of plants growth. They use it in the process of photosynthesis. Process industries are industries which use different processes to manufacture an end product. Product is also defined as the result of multiplication between two numbers. The number of elephants in Thailand ranges between 4000-5000.
