WHY METHU VADA HAS HOLE?

     In India one of the famous snacks is vadai. Nearly 42 variety vadas such as masal vada, medu vada, rava vada, amai vada, keerai vada… Among these vadas medu vada is the most sought-after dish at any South Indian restaurant. This medu vada also named as ulundu vada, uzhunnu vada, garelu vada in different languages.
     This medu vada is slightly different from other vada. As this vada has hole at its centre. Based on this these are many comedy scenes were created in films. But the reason is the dense of dough prepared for medu vada is more and water content also slightly more compared to other vada dough. If we fry the dough without hole for medu vada the centre portion will not cook well. 
     In case we try to fry that center portion also the outside get deep fry which make the vada to dispose i.e. unable to eat. So the hole is made at the centre , this help the vada to fry fast and well cook.

WHY ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEAN ARE NOT MIXED?

Nearly 72% of the earth is filled with water and it is present with different names- oceans, seas, rivers. Why are they named differently? There are five oceans namely Artic ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian ocean and Antarctic ocean . All the oceans are different in their physical and biological character called ocean clines. When we look at the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean junction, they do not mix. Is there any invisible Wall in between them? Many scientists have conducted research to solve this mystery. The Atlantic and Pacific Ocean have different chemical composition. The salinity of the water in the Atlantic Ocean is five times more than the Pacific Ocean. The density of water is also different, so even marine animals in Atlantic Ocean will not go to the Pacific Ocean. They cannot survive in other oceans. Atlantic and Pacific Ocean meet at Cape Horn. The narrow straight line formed by the water bodies is called Drake Strait. The Pacific Ocean is ...

Why is the Pacific Ocean shrinking and the Atlantic Ocean is getting wider?

Twenty million years ago there was no Atlantic Ocean. But then, thanks to plate tectonics, the South American and North American continents were separated by a rift valley that eventually turned into the Atlantic Ocean. The complementary shapes of the South American and African continents have long been noticed, but it wasn't until the 1960s that the theory of plate tectonics became accepted as the explanation. These days, the Atlantic Ocean is growing at a rate of five centimetres per year, as new sea floor is created by volcanic activity along its mid-ocean ridge.        On the other hand, the much older Pacific Ocean is currently estimated to be shrinking by two to three centimetres each year. Again, this comes down to plate tectonics because the Pacific Ocean has subduction zones on three sides - where the Pacific plate submerges beneath other plates.  Since there are very few subduction zones in the Atlantic, Indian and Arctic oceans...
