Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Why is Psittacosaurus named after a parrot?
The name Psittacosaurus means "parrot lizard" because its sharp, curved upper beak closely resembles the beak of modern parrots.
How does a cogwheel railway ascend steep mountains?
A gear wheel beneath the train meshes into a third cogged rail between the tracks, providing mechanical grip that prevents slipping on steep slopes.
