Bottom-up processing is not thought to be a very efficient way to approach a text initially, and is often contrasted with top-down processing, which is thought to be more efficient. Example. Asking learners to read aloud may encourage bottom-up processing because they focus on word forms, not meaning.
Had Titanic hit the iceberg head on, it is likely that there would be massive crushing of the fore part of the ship, which may have prolonged its end, since theoretically while it may have begun to go down by the bow, the center and aft compartments would have stayed dry for a longer period of time.
Titanic sideswiped an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. on Sunday, April 14,1912, and was badly damaged. The 882-foot (269-meter) long liner,whose eight decks rose to the height of an 11-story building, sanktwo hours and forty minutes later. Of the 2,227 passengers andcrew, 705 escaped in 20 lifeboats and rafts; 1,522 drowned.
