When the slope of a landform increases, a greater amout of soil is eroded than when the slope is 0. **This is because water is moving faster and has a stronger effect on the ground it's traveling on. More soil is going to erode if it's raining buckets compared to if it's only a light drizzle.

The cactus uses food and water to make flowers. Its white flowers open at night. Bats and doves come to sip the nectar. They have to work fast. The flowers close during the day. In late June, the flowers dry up. Fat fruit grow in their place. The fruit look like spiky red crowns. They split open under the sizzling sun. Insects and birds feed on the sweet pulp. Some fruit fall to the ground. Javelinas, which look like hogs, come to eat the fruit. Their strong jaws and tusks tear into the pulp. After the javelinas, other animals come.

Diana (a biologist who studies life in caves) heads into the cave. High above, bats hang from the ceiling. The poisonous gas is heavy. It stays near the ground. It doesn't harm the bats. There is not much oxygen in the milky stream at her feet. Small fish live here. Their blood holds as much oxygen as possible. Lots of spiders crawl over the cave walls. Diana aims her flashlight at them. She sees one spider catch a tiny fly called a midge. Midges eat plants. Diana doesn't see any plants in the cave. Make an inference: How can midges be in this cave if there aren't any plants? The text says midges eat plants, but Diana doesn't see any plants in the cave. Maybe...
Maybe the midges go out of the cave to eat and then come back after. Maybe the midges have found some other food source inside the cave besides plants. **Actually, midges in this cave are able to survive on a slimy bacteria. The bacteria uses the toxic gas to make food and the midges eat this.
