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.
This suggested that, instead of just causing gashes to the Titanicâs side, the iceberg may have ripped open the bottom of the hull. Another expedition in 2005 revealed these to be a large portion of the hull, which had been torn away from the ship as it sank.
