Potassium is the 19th element on the periodic table and is represented with the chemical symbol K. Purified potassium is a silver metal that reacts violently with water. Potassium is found in many natural sources as a component of ionic salts (commonly referred to as potassium salts). The main source of potassium production comes from potash. This term is used for any salt that contains the water soluble form of potassium. The most common of these salts is potassium chloride. This potash must be processed to extract the pure potassium.

Of course, in reality it doesn’t sound plausible that an animal weighing up to 10,000 kg (22,000 lbs) could be scared of a creature that weighs a few hundred grams at most. However, let’s take a look at this question and find out if elephants really are scared of mice.
A democratic government is basically defined as a government where all people have an equal say in the decision making processes. As Abraham Lincoln so elegantly put it, democracy is “government of the people by the people for the people.” There are many types of democracy, but many countries, including the United States, now use one form of this system of government. Although democracy has been around since approximately 500 BC, it wasn’t until the 20th century that it began to be adopted by numerous countries. Let’s take a look at the first country to use this system of government.

The theory of relativity is one of the most important scientific advances of all time. It is broken up into two separate theories called special relativity and general relativity. It was such as revolutionary theory because it showed that time is not uniform or absolute. For example, there are two 25 year old twins and one travels through space at 90% of the speed of light for 20 years. They would arrive back on Earth as a 45 year old, but the twin who stayed on Earth would be 71 years old! It is very hard topic to understand, and explain, so I have posted a video at the end of this article with a fairly simple explanation.

Cotton is a soft fiber that grows to provide protection for the seeds of the cotton plant. It is native to many tropical and subtropical regions of the Earth. It’s earliest use dates back to at least 5800 BC. Today, it is grown commercially throughout much of the world. The top producers are China, India, United States, Pakistan and Brazil. Cotton is susceptible to a range of pests and disease, which means that cotton farmers must use heavy chemicals such as pesticides. Recently, scientists have genetically modified the cotton plant to reduce the reliance on these chemicals.
