1. The most important information about dinosaurs are provided by their

tracks. The first featured is that they sink while walking in beachs
sands. Second, young dinosaurs walked nearby the old ones. Third,
scientists are able to calculate their stride and speed, since the tracks
are in sequence. Finally, depth of the tracks are different regarding
their characters, scientists would determine their weight and tall with
this feature.
2. When attacked by pests, trees changes their nutrition with the

respectively. He says that if you is stopped on the bike and took your

you are running on the bycicle and turns faster, for example for avoid
crashing in something or somebody, you will keep stable, whereas if
you do the same while running on the tricycle you will crash. Thus,
bicycle are stable when moving, on the other words, are dynamic
stable.
