through the microphones in handset. The sounds of
caller’s voices the diaphragm to vibrate. As it vibrates, it

telephone line to the receiving telephone. When it
receiving telephones gets the signals, the diaphragm in
the earpiece loudspeaker also vibrates and creates the

snow, covered with fur and skins, serves as the family
bed during the cold, arctic night, the entire family sleeps
together for warmth. Cooking is done on a stone stove or
lamp that burns seal fat or blubber. A small opening at

Petroleum products, such gasoline, kerosene,
home heating oil, residual fuel oil and lubricating oils,
come from one source. Crude oil is found below the
Earth surface, as well as under large bodies of water,
from a few hundred feet below the surface to as deep
as 25.000 feet below the surface into the Earth interior.
Crude oil is obtained by drilling a hole trough
the Earth, but sometimes more dry holes are drilled
than those producing oil. Pressure at the source, or
pumping forces the crude oil to the surface.
Crude oil wells flow at varying rates, from ten
to thousand of barrels per hour. Petroleum product s
very greatly in physical appearance: thin, thick,
transparent or opaque. Their chemical compositions are
made up of only two elements : carbon and hydrogen
which form compounds called hydrocarbon. Other
chemical element found in the union with the
hydrocarbon are few and are classified as impurities.
Trace element also found but these are of such minutes
quantities that they are disregarded.
The various petroleum products are refined
from the crude oil by heating and condensing the
vapours of crude oil. These product are called light oil
such as gasoline, kerosene, and distillate oil.

Honey is the sweet, thick fluid made by bees from
flower nectar. Nectar is thin, watery liquid. Bees sip it
from the blossoms and carry it to their hives. Each
worker bee has a pouch its body, called a honey
stomach where the nectar is stored. In the pouch, the
sugar and nectar are broken down by a process called
inversion into two simple sugar, fructose and glucose.
After bee deposit the nectar in the hive, they allow most
of the water to evaporate and liquid thickness. They also
add enzyme that enhance the flavor.
Honey is excellent energy food because it
contains simple sugars that can be used quickly by the
body. Its differ chemically from cane sugar, which is also
an energy food. Honey contains mineral salts and other
materials needed by the body. It is only form of sugar
