White pizza is made in almost the same way as red pizza: the dough rises and is rolled out, toppings are applied, and it is cooked in an oven—but the key difference is that white pizza does not have any tomato sauce on it. Instead, a white pizza may have olive oil or no sauce at all.

Hummingbirds have many unique flight habits that distinguish them from other bird. The hummingbird is the only bird capable of backward flight.

They can also fly upside down and move about very rapidly. Once you've seen a hummingbird in flight, it's unlikely that you'll mistake them for another bird.

Cause and Effect
You might think that all automobile fuels are the same, but they aren't. Automobiles can run on one of three types of fuel: gasoline, diesel, and biodiesel. All these fuels are burned inside of the engine, which creates the heat and energy that is used to power the car. But there are important differences between these fuels. Gasoline and diesel are more common than biodiesel. But each burns differently. Diesel fuel is heavier and less flammable than gasoline, so it has to be compressed before it will burn. Gasoline may be lighter than diesel. Biodiesel fuel is made from vegetables. Both biodiesel and diesel fuels must be burned in diesel engines, which only use diesel fuel. Gasoline can not be used in a diesel engine. These fuels may look pretty similar at the gas station, but remember that there are important differences between them or it may cost you big time.
