 Bridges

The picture shows three different kinds of bridges

3
 Introduction - Overview

The pictorial diagram illustrates the architectural design of three kinds of bridges.

- Overview
- Longest: concrete girder bridges
- Highest: suspension bridges
- Shortest and lowest: arch bridges

Overall, while concrete girder bridges’ span has the potential to be unlimitedly
extended, suspension bridges are the highest. In contrast, arch bridges are the shortest
and lowest.

Arch bridges which have no piers are built to connect two sides of a lake. Their maximum length
and height are 200 metres and 100 metres, respectively. Their structure only allows smallest size
boats to sail through the arch.

Concrete girder bridges, which are built over a river, are potentially the longest bridge contingent
on the number of piers. Unlike arch bridges, a series of piers is constructed to hold the load of the
bridge with a distance of under 200 metres from each other. Additionally, the permissible height is
up to 300 metres to facilitate only medium water vehicles to travel underneath.

Finally, suspension bridges are built on deepest water from which a large pier is placed on each
shore, distanced from 400 to 2000 metres. Moreover, suspender cables are anchored from the top
of the piers to the bridge. Their wide overhead and extensive length enable largest ships to pass
through. (191 words)

 Horses

The diagrams below show the development of the horse over a period of 40 million years.

8
 Introduction - Overview

The infographic illustrates the horses’ evolution from over forty million years ago until
the present day,
- Overview
- Body: bigger
- Toes: fewer
- Legs: longer

Overall, the most noticeable changes are the expansion of the body, the reduction in
the number of the toes and the elongation of the legs.

The picture shows how a horse has evolved over millions of years. Overall, the most noticeable
changes are the expansion of the body, the reduction in the number of the toes and the elongation
of the legs.

Comparing the oldest horse, Eohippus, from 40 million years ago to the one 30 million years back,
Mesohippus, it had a bigger body size, with a longer tail, and some hair on its back. The toes
reduced from four to three and they became thicker; especially the middle one.

The appearance of the Merychippus was around fifteen million years ago. Its body grew even larger,
its tail was even longer, and the mane was more clearly formed. It still had three toes, but the middle
one became even bigger.

Finally, today’s horses have a bulkier body and a bigger furry tail. They also have a full mane and
four elongated legs as well as full round hooves. (151 words)
