Surface area the measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies (3D) object.
The surface area of a polyhedron is found by finding the sum of the area of all of the faces.
The surface area is found between many three-dimensional shapes using formulas.
The surface area is useful because it tells you how much material is required in order to cover the object—for example, how much paint is needed to paint a table.
Surface area is the sum of the faces, or surfaces, of a three dimensional shape.
Surface area and evaporation
Surface area increases rate of evaporation because there are more molecules touching the surface.
There the surface molecules can draw heat energy from the surroundings, which makes the molecules heat up faster and escape faster.
This process is also known as evaporation.
For example, a bowl filled with water will evaporate much faster than a flask filled with the same amount.

A Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (or M.A.S.H. or MASH) was a medical center used during wars, to care and fix injured soldiers who got hurt in the fighting.
They were an alternative to field hospitals and real hospitals which were used in World War II.
During the Korean War, thanks to these kinds of hospitals, soldiers had a 97% chance of surviving an injury.
They were also used in the Vietnam War and the first Gulf War, but were gradually replaced by Combat Support Hospitals or CSHs which are used today.
Many people know about these places due to a well-known movie and later TV show called M*A*S*H, which was set was a hospital like this during the Korean War.

Tuvaluan is an Austronesian language spoken in Tuvalu.
It is closely related to Tokelauan language.
Tuvaluan has over 11 000 speakers.
The language is divided into two main dialects.
Tokelau is a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean.
It is made of three atolls.
These atolls have a surface area of about.
About 1500 people lived there in 2016.
The territory belongs to New Zealand.
The atolls are Alatufu, Nukunonu, and Fakaofo.
Together with Swains Island (which is part of American Samoa now) they are known as the Union Islands.
Swains Island is about 180 km to the south of Fakaofo.
Less than 50 people live on Swains Island.
Tokelau is about half way between New Zealand and Hawaii.
Tokelau does not have an official capital.
The most important languages spoken in Tokelau are English and Tokelauan.
The people live in four villages: Two of them are on Fakaofo.
The islands Atafu and Nukunonu each have one village.
The most common language is Tokelauan, about half the people are able to speak English.
Tokelau is among the most remote areas in the Pacific: There are no airports; the islands can only be reached by ship: there are also no sea ports, which makes travelling difficult, even between the atolls.
New Zealand pays for a ship, which connects Tokelau with the next bigger seaport (Apia, on Samoa).
The trip from Apia to Fakaofo takes about a day, reaching the northernmost atoll Atafu will take another three to four hours.
There is no large pier on any of the islands, which means that smaller boats (called barges) are needed to reach the shore.
The ship reaches Tokelau about once every two weeks.
In 2004 there was a vote to change the status of Tokelau: Rather than being a dependent territory of New Zealand, the proposal was to be "in association with" New Zealand, much like Cook Islands and Niue.
At the time, the people of Tokelau voted against this independence.

A communist state is a state whose constitution claims to follow the principles of communism, despite following the ideology of Marxism–Leninism.
Its form of government has only a single political party, the communist party.
The governance of the state is guided by the principles of Leninism, Marxism, Maoism, or any other form of socialist ideology.
Technically, "communist state" is a contradictory term.
In principle, a communist society is a stateless society.
In practice, communist states do not actually refer to themselves as "communist states".
They do not consider themselves to be communist societies at present.
Instead, their constitutions call them socialist states or workers' states.
During the 20th century, a "communist state" came to be understood as any country ruled by a single party and guided by a Marxist–Leninist or Maoist ideology.
These countries would also have a planned economy.
The ruling class is the working class (the proletariat).
As of February 2018, there are five countries that are called communist states.
They are China, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam and North Korea.
North Korea does not follow Marxism–Leninism but rather the ideology of Juche.
Nonetheless, it is otherwise still considered to be in the same category.
Historically
There were, at one time, many countries that followed some type of Marxism.
One of the most famous is the Soviet Union.
However, many of these are now no longer regarded as socialist.

Optics is the science of light and how it interacts with the world.
Optics explains how rainbows exist, how light reflects off mirrors, how light refracts through glass or water, and what splits light shining through a prism.
In addition to visible light in the standard "spectrum" of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, optics also deals with invisible parts of the whole electromagnetic spectrum of which visible light is only a small part.
Optics is both a science and an area of engineering.
It has been used to make many useful things, including eyeglasses, cameras, telescopes, and microscopes.
Many of these things are based on lenses, which focus light and can make images of things that are bigger or smaller than the original.
While optics is an old science, new things are still being discovered in it.
Scientists have learned how to make light travel through a thin optical fiber made of glass or plastic.
Light can go long distances in a fiber.
Fibers are used to carry phone calls and the Internet through cities and around the world.

Jamaica is an island country in the Caribbean; it is part of the Greater Antilles.
The island,  in area, lies about  south of Cuba, and  west of Hispaniola.
Its capital city is Kingston; other towns include Montego Bay, St. Ann's Bay and Spanish Town.
The island is divided into three counties – Cornwall, Middlesex and Surrey – which are subdivided into 14 parishes: Kingston, St. Andrew, St. Catherine, Clarendon, Manchester, St. Elizabeth, Westmoreland, Hanover, St. James, Trelawny, St. Ann, St. Mary, Portland and St. Thomas.
Jamaica is the third-largest island country in the Greater Antilles.
Its Taíno name is Xaymaca, meaning "Land of Springs".
Jamaica is part of the West Indies.
The Taino indigenous people, originating in South America, settled on the island between 4000 and 1000 BC.
When Christopher Columbus arrived in 1494, there were more than 200 villages ruled by caciques (chiefs of villages).
The south coast of Jamaica was the most populated, especially around the area now known as Old Harbour.
Christopher Columbus, during his second voyage to the Americas, claimed Jamaica for Spain after landing there on 5 May 1494 and his probable landing point was Dry Harbour, now called Discovery Bay.
There is some debate as to whether he landed in St. Ann's Bay or in Discovery Bay.
St. Ann's Bay was named "Saint Gloria" by Columbus, as the first sighting of the land.
In 1503, during his fourth voyage, Columbus had to spend one year on the northern coast of the island, and he named the island Isla de Santiago (by Sant Iago Apostol, in Spanish Santiago).
In 1509, the new Governor of the Hispaniola, Diego Columbus, sent Juan de Esquivel, a Conquistador born in Seville, Spain, with 70 men to Jamaica to complete the conquest of that island.
They first lived in the St. Ann's Bay area and soon Esquivel founded a town, Sevilla La Nueva (in English, "The New Seville") on the north coast, one mile to the west of St. Ann's Bay.
Sevilla was abandoned around 1524 because it was deemed unhealthy.
The capital was moved to Spanish Town, then called Saint Jago de la Vega, in the south around 1534.
British rule
In 1654 Oliver Cromwell decided to break the Spanish control of the West Indies and he sent a fleet in an expedition) led by William Penn and General Robert Venables.
The fleet arrived to the Santo Domingo island on 13 April 1655 but the British lost in two battles on 17 and 25 April and they decided to move to Jamaica.
On 10 May 1655, Penn and Venables led a successful attack on Jamaica.
The Spanish surrendered to the English, freed their slaves and then fled to Cuba.
It was this set of freed slaves and their descendants living in the Jamaican mountains who became known as the Maroons.
After a long period of direct British colonial rule, Jamaica gained a degree of local political control in the late 1930s, and held its first election under full universal adult suffrage in 1944.
Jamaica joined nine other U.K. territories in the West Indies Federation in 1958 but withdrew after Jamaican voters rejected membership in 1961.
Jamaica got its independence in 1962, remaining a member of the Commonwealth.
Jamaica is a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy, with Queen Elizabeth II serving as the monarch.
However, as Elizabeth II is shared as head of state of fifteen other countries (the Commonwealth realm) in addition to the UK and resides mostly in the United Kingdom, she is thus often represented as Queen of Jamaica in Jamaica and abroad by the Governor-General of Jamaica.
The governor-general is nominated by the Prime Minister of Jamaica and appointed by the monarch.
All the members of the Cabinet are appointed by the governor-general on the advice of the prime minister.
The monarch and the governor-general serve largely ceremonial roles.
The Parliament of Jamaica is bicameral.
This means that it consists of two Houses, the Senate, also called the Upper House, and the House of Representatives, also known as the Lower House.
The members of the House (known as Members of Parliament or MPs) are elected by the people of Jamaica.
The leader of the political party with most members in the House of Representatives is appointed by the governor-general to be the prime minister.
Senators are nominated jointly by the prime minister and the parliamentary leader of the opposition and are then appointed by the governor-general.

Prime Minister Holness acts as head of government of Jamaica.
Jamaica has traditionally had a system of two parties, with power often alternating between the People's National Party and Jamaica Labour Party (JLP).
The party with current administrative and legislative power is Jamaica Labour Party, with a two-thirds Parliamentary majority as of 2016.
In 2011 (last national census), there were 2,697,983 people living in Jamaica: 1,334,533 men and 1,363,450 women.
There were 1,453,438 (53.9%) living in towns and cities.
The population density was 245.5 persons/km².
Jamaica is between latitudes 17° 42"N and 18° 31"N and longitudes 78° 22"W and 76° 11", that is between the equator and the Tropic of Cancer.
Jamaica is the third-largest island country in the Greater Antilles, after Cuba and the Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic); it is larger than Puerto Rico.
The island is  from east to west; the width, from north to south, varies between  to .
The country is composed mainly of the mainland, but near the coast there are a few isolated small islands.
The Blue Mountains are the longest mountain range in Jamaica.
They include the island's highest point, Blue Mountain Peak, at .
The Rio Minho is the longest river in Jamaica at .
It rises close to the island's geographic centre, flows generally south-southwest and reaches the Caribbean Sea at Carlisle Bay in the central south coast, to the west of the island's southernmost point, Portland Point.
The Black River is one of the longest rivers in Jamaica.
At a length of , it was believed to be the longest until it was discovered that the Rio Minho was longer.
It was originally called Rio Caobana.
The island is known for the Rastafarian movement, as well as reggae artist Bob Marley.
The popular sprinter Usain Bolt is also an asset from the country.
Usain Bolt won gold in the 100 and 200 races in Rio 2016.

Denver is the capital and largest city in the U.S. state of Colorado and a county named Denver County.
For this reason, Denver is the county seat of Denver County.
It is at the foot of the Rocky Mountains on the South Platte River, and was founded in 1858.
A nickname for Denver is The Mile High City, because Denver is very high above sea level.
It is at least 5,280 feet (or 1,609 meters) above sea level at a point in the city's state capitol building.
The dome at the top of the capitol building is covered in gold.
Denver City was founded in November 1858 during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush as a mining town in western Kansas Territory.
That summer, a group of gold prospectors from Lawrence, Kansas, started a settlement  on the banks of the South Platte River.
They called it Montana City.
This was the first settlement in what was later to become the city of Denver.
The settlement faded quickly.
By the summer of 1859 it was abandoned in favor of Auraria (named after the gold mining town of Auraria, Georgia), and St. Charles City.
The Colorado Territory was created on February 28, 1861, Arapahoe County was formed on November 1, 1861, and Denver City was incorporated on November 7, 1861.
Denver City served as the Arapahoe County Seat from 1861 until consolidation in 1902.
In 1867, Denver City became the Territorial Capital.
With its new-found importance, Denver City shortened its name to just Denver.
On August 1, 1876, Colorado was admitted to the Union.

Bleach is the name for a number of chemical substances which can be used to remove colors, or to make things white.
Very often, they act through oxidation.
Bleaches on the base of sulfur have been in use for thousands of years.
Modern bleaches are usually based on chlorine or on oxygen.
Many bleaches can kill bacteria easily.
For this reason, they are often used for disinfecting or sterilisation.
Dangers of using bleach
Mixing bleach with some things commonly found at home, like vinegar or even fruit juice can produce chemicals like chlorine that are irritating or even dangerous.
Bleach should also not be mixed with ammonia because a hazardous chemical reaction will occur.
This effect can kill people.
Certain types of bleaches produce toxic waste.
Some of them produce dioxins..
Examples of bleaches
Sulfur dioxide, one bleach that is a reducing agent
Sodium hypochlorite, household bleach
Bleaching powder
Bleach made from hydrogen peroxide is used to make hair lighter in color, orange, blonde, or even white.
It is often used by dark-haired people to make highlights, and most hair dyes contain it.

A polygon is a closed two-dimensional shape.
It is a simple curve that is made up of straight line segments.
It usually has three sides and three corners or more.
It could also be referred to as 'A closed plane figure bound by three or more straight line segments'.
It has a number of sides, also called edges.
A square is a polygon because it has four sides.
The smallest possible polygon in a Euclidean geometry or "flat geometry" is the triangle, but on a sphere, there can be a digon and a henagon.
If the edges (lines of the polygon) do not intersect (cross each other), the polygon is called simple, otherwise it is complex.

Kazakhstan is a country in the middle of Eurasia.
Its official name is the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan is the ninth biggest country in the world, and it is also the biggest landlocked country in the world.
Before the end of the Soviet Union, it was called "Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic".
The president of the country from 1991  through March 2019 was Nursultan Nazarbayev.
Nur-Sultan is the capital city of Kazakhstan.
Almaty was the capital until 1998, when it moved to Nur-Sultan, which was called Astana at that time.
The Kazakh language, which is a Turkic language, is the native language, but Russian has equal official status for all administrative and institutional purposes.
Islam is the largest religion- about 70% of the population are Muslims, with Christianity practiced by 26%; Russia leases (rents) the land for the Baikonur Cosmodrome (site of Russian spacecraft launches) from Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan is a transcontinental country mostly in Asia with a small western part across the Ural River in Europe.
It has borders with the Russian Federation in the north and west, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in the southwest, and China in the far east.
The northern border is mostly with Siberia, Russia, so Russia has the longest border with Kazakhstan.
Basically, Kazakhstan runs from the Caspian Sea in the west to the mainly Muslim Chinese autonomous region of Xinjiang.
Kazakhstan has no ocean shoreline, but borders the Caspian Sea, which boats use to get to neighboring countries.
The Caspian Sea is an Endorheic basin without connections to any ocean.
Kazakhstan has plenty of petroleum, natural gas, and mining.
It attracted over $40 billion in foreign investment since 1993 and accounts for some 57% of the nation's industrial output.
According to some estimates, Kazakhstan has the second largest uranium, chromium, lead, and zinc reserves, the third largest manganese reserves, the fifth largest copper reserves, and ranks in the top ten for coal, iron, and gold.
It is also an exporter of diamonds.
Kazakhstan has the 11th largest proven reserves of both petroleum and natural gas.
Kazakhstan is divided into 14 regions.
They are divided into districts.
Almaty and Nur-Sultan cities have the status of State importance and are not in any region.
Baikonur city has a special status because it is leased to Russia for Baikonur cosmodrome until 2050.
Each province is headed by an Akim (provincial governor) appointed by the president.
Municipal Akims are appointed by province Akims.
The Government of Kazakhstan moved its capital from Almaty to Nur-Sultan on December 10, 1997.
The population of Kazakhstan is 17,165,000.
It takes the 62th place in the List of countries by population.
Average density is one of the lowest on earth with almost 6 people/km2  ( List of countries by population density).

A sign is something you see (or hear) which means something.
A sign may be natural or man-made.
A natural sign shows something significant.
Leaves turn brown and fall off deciduous trees in the autumn.
Temperatures drop, daylight hours shorten.
It suggests winter is coming.
Many birds migrate and some mammals hibernate in response to natural signs like these.
Humans, as usual, are a bit different.
They make their own signs.
A man-made sign is called a signal or symbol.
It is an artificial thing, which people decide means something in their society.
For example, the stop sign on the road tells the person that they must stop their car there.
So does a red traffic light.
They are signals with a legal meaning, and people learn what these meanings are.
Sometimes a person may not know what a sign means.
Feeling a cold wind could be a sign that someone left a door or window open.
In medicine, a sign is something seen, whereas a symptom is something felt, like a pain.
A sign might be something like high blood pressure, which can be measured.
Road signs
A road sign or traffic sign is something that gives information by means of a symbol, or in only 1 or 2 words.
It helps people in their vehicles on the road.
Some signs include: Give way, Stop, Keep left, No U-turn, no parking, Zebra crossing and much more.
Signs are very useful.
Without signs and traffic lights there would be many accidents and arguments on the road.

Barley is a member of the grass family of plants.
Its seeds are a cereal grain.
It is a staple food of humans and other animals, and it is one of mankind's oldest crops.
It can be made into flour or beer.
Its Latin name is Hordeum vulgare.
Barley is an annual plant.
Mount Vesuvius (, ) is a stratovolcano on the Gulf of Naples, Italy.
It is about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) east of Naples.
It is the only volcano on the mainland of Europe that erupted in the last 100 years.
The last major eruption was in 1944.
Two other important active volcanos in Italy, Etna and Stromboli, are on islands.
Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption in A.D. 79 which destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
They were never built again.
The towns were buried in ash so completely that later people who lived there forgot about them until they were accidentally discovered in the late 18th century.
The eruption also changed the way the Sarno River flowed, and raised the sea beach.
Because of this, Pompeii was not on the river nor next to the coast anymore.
Mount Vesuvius was also greatly changed.
Many of the plants there died, and the top of the mountain looked different because of the strong eruption.
Vesuvius has erupted many times after that.
Today, it is one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world.
About 3 million people live near this explosive volcano.
More people live near Mount Vesuvius than any other volcano in the world.
Vesuvius has a long tradition of history and literature.
A serpent (snake) called "Vesuvius" has been used in frescos of many lararia (household temples) from Pompeii.
In Capua, the words "IOVI VESVVIO" (Jupiter Vesuvius) show that he was worshipped as a power of Jupiter.
The historian Diodorus Siculus said that there was a story that Hercules once passed through the country of Cumae when he was going to Sicily.
There, he found a place called "the Phlegraean Plain" (phlegraion pedion, "plain of fire").
It said that it was "from a hill which anciently (from a long time ago) vomited out  called Vesuvius."
Giant "sons of the Earth" lived inside it.
With the help of the gods, he helped the people there and went on.
An ode by Martial in AD 88 suggests that Venus and Hercules were worshipped in the place that was destroyed by the eruption in AD 79.
The volcano was often called "Vesuvius" in the late Roman Republic and the early Roman Empire.
It was also called Vesaevus, Vesevus, Vesbius, and Vesvius.
Writers in ancient Greek called it "Οὐεσούιον" or "Οὐεσούιος".
Many scholars think the word Vesuvius was related to the Greek word "οὔ" (not) and σβέννυμι (I quench), so that it would mean "unquenchable".
Others think it might come from ἕω "hurl" and βίη "violence", "hurling violence".
Vesuvius has a large cone (Gran Congo) which is partly surrounded by the top of a caldera which was made when an earlier and much higher structure called Monte Comma collapsed.
The Gran Congo was made during the eruption of AD 79.
For this reason, the volcano is also called Comma-Vesuvius or Somme-Venezuelan.
Eruption of 79 AD
Before Mount Vesuvius exploded in 79 B.C.E people who lived nearby did not even know that it was a volcano, because it had not erupted for 600 years.
At about 1 PM, on August 24, AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted violently.
It showered ash and pumice on the town of Pompeii, which was 5 miles away.
Today, people think the eruption of 79 AD lasted more than 19 hours.
It was noticed by Pliny the Younger who described the mushroom cloud from the volcano as being in the shape of umbrella pine, a tree commonly found in the region.
Pliny the Younger was the only person to write the story down.
There were many ways that people died.
One was that the smoke that they breathed in was deadly because it dried in their lungs and formed glass.
They also were buried by powdery ash from the volcano, which was all over them.
Over time this ash turned to a sort of rock, protecting the bodies and the city from the weather and from robbers.
Vesuvius erupted 50 more times after the eruption in 79 AD.
Vesuvius was named a national park in 1995.
