When you are invited to a meal in Thailand, the words of invitation literally mean “come and eat
rice”. Indeed, nearly all Thai dishes are eaten with rice, which grows there very easily as the climate
is warm and there is plenty of rain.

The food is always served in neatly cut up pieces, so there is no need to use knives and forks but,
instead, special forks and spoons are used. The Thais used to eat with their hands and there are still
some people who eat this way. There is a particular way of doing it. First, they wash their right hand
in a bowl of water – they only eat with their right hand. They are careful not to let the food touch
the palm of their hand. Afer the meal, the hand is again carefully washed.

The meal is usually made up of several different dishes, all of which are spicy. They are served in
bowls which everyone shares, though each prson has their own bowl of rice. As Thailand has a long
coastline, it is not surprising that fish and shellfish play an important part in Thai cooking.

Throughout Eorupe, and also in other areas of the world such as India, China and parts of America,
forests are being destroyed. According to one prediction, 90% of Germany’s forests will have
vainished by the end of the century. This destruction is caused by air pollution. Power stations and
cars are mainly responsible – they emit gases into the air which, after a series of chemical changes,
turns into toxic acids. These acids fall as “acid rain” raising the level of acidity in the soil, in lakes
and in rivers to dangerous levels, and destroying not only trees but also fish and other wildlife. The
industrialised world is slowly waking up the fact that ugent action is needed to reduce air pollution,
otherwise our environment will be damaged beyond repair.

There are several ways in which animals and plants may become fossilised. First, it is essential that
the remains are buried, as dead animals and plants are quickl destroyed if they remain exposed to
the air. Plants rot, while scavengers, such as insects and hyenas, eat the flesh and bones of animals.
Finally the few remaining bones soon disintegrate in the hot sun and pouring rain. If buried in
suitable condition, however, animal and plant remain will be preserved. The same chemicals which
change sand and silt into hard rock will also enter the animal and plant remains and make them
hard too. When this happens we say that they have become fossilised. Usually only the bones of an
animal and the toughest part of a plant are preserved.

The soft body parts of an animal or the fine fibres of a leaf may occasionally become fossilised, but
they must be buried quickly for this to happen. This may sometimes occur with river and lake
sediment but is much more likely to happen with volcanic ash.
