One of the famous city in Italy is Venice. It gets its popularity because Venice is a rich and
interesting city. It has a lot of history documentations and offers a lot of attractive things to visitors.
Venice has been established over 2000 years ago when waves of barbarians drove people out
of their homes in various Roman cities. Around years 800-1100 AD, Venice underwent a period of
growth, and became more centralized. It gradually developed into a city state, which is essentially
a self-governed region of a country that trades freely among others.
As Venice gradually developed, it became a prominent player in the sea trade of the time. It
was set upon by many different threats. Pirates became the hugest problem. Fewer and fewer
shipments were making it through the treacherous water. It happened when the Republic of Venice
decided to move the operations to the eastern shores.
When we think of Venice, the first thing which comes to mind are canals. They are
considered the trademark of the city. Canals are mostly recognizable for providing the main form
of transportation throughout the city. Visiting Venice brings a rich aura of history and culture.
Floating through the canals for an afternoon makes for a memorable experience, and it’s one that
any travelers commonly enjoy.

collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere.The charged particles
originate in the magnetosphere and solar wind are directed by the Earth`s magnetic field into the
atmosphere. Most auroras occur in a band known as the aurora zone which is typically 3 to 6 in latitudinal

Tyrannosaurus rex, sometimes just called T-rex, is believed to be the largest and most fearsome predator on
Earth’s land ever to have existed.
This dinosaur once lived in the Creataceous period approximately 68 to 65 million years ago. The
T-rex lived in a humid, semi-tropical environment, in open forests with nearby rivers and in coastal
forested swamps. The seasons were mild.
Tyrannosaurus rex was up to 40 feet (12.4 m) long, about 15 to 20 feet (4.6 to 6 m) tall. The arms
were only about 3 feet (1 m) long. Tyrannosaurus rex was roughly 5 to 7 tons in weight.
As a carnivorous dinosaur, this giant predator most likely ambushed their prey, and devoured them
with jaws full of white sharp teeth. With its fast ability to run at an astonishing speed of 32 mph (50 kmh),
a perfect slim and stiff tail that gave it an excellent balance and allowed it to make quick turns, equipped
