Dimples

Almost everyone is attracted to people with dimples. It is estimated that only 20% of the population are born with dimples, so that leaves the rest of us with the desire to have them too.

Dimples on cheeks have a proper name in the dictionary. Gelasin is the word. It was derived from the Greek word ‘Gelaein’ which means “to laugh” because dimples specifically form on the cheeks when one smiles.
These beautiful and cute-looking dimples appear because of Genetic Deformity. But it’s quite normal. Not only in the cheeks, but dimples can occur anywhere in the body.
People with Dimples are told they look younger than their age.
Dimples definitely signify fitness and youth. Have you ever noticed babies have temporary dimples? No doubt they are the cutest. It is because babies have too much fat in their cheeks. 
It is highly possible if your parents have dimples you might get them. But sometimes it has been seen among various people, to inherit this common abnormality from their grandparents. While their parents don’t have any Dimples.
Dimples may appear and disappear over an extended period. Dimples are usually located on mobile tissues, and are possibly caused by variations in the structure of the facial muscle known as zygomaticus major. Specifically, the presence of a double or bifid zygomaticus major muscle may explain the formation of cheek dimples.

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...
