Use the paragraph to answer the question.
The platypus is an Australian mammal that is not easily classified. It is one of only two mammals (the other being the echidna) that bears young by laying eggs. In some respects, the platypus resembles a duck; both have webbed feet and bills. The platypus has a tail like a beaver’s and a furry body similar to an otter’s. Its unusual hybrid of body parts makes it well-suited for its largely aquatic life. The platypus uses its webbed feet to paddle through water, and its tail serves as a kind of rudder for steering. While underwater, the platypus uses its bill to scoop up bits of food, such as insects and shellfish, from the water’s bottom. The platypus also scoops up bits of gravel, which grind up the food, as the platypus is toothless. The platypus stores the food and gravel in its cheeks until it reaches the water’s surface. Once the platypus surfaces, it consumes its meal.

It happens way too often: oil leaking from wells beneath the ocean or tankers spilling their cargo into the waves. One disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, called the Tyler spill, has been leaking hundreds of barrels of oil per day into the ocean for the past 14 years. While safety has not been made a priority, something can be done to clean up oil spills that does not involve pouring chemical cleanup agents into the already polluted waters. The question is, when will the oil industry embrace this effective, safe method?

You may not think earthquakes and volcanoes can go together, but they are unlikely friends, creating sensations under the earth’s surface. Most earthquakes occur because of the movement of tectonic plates previously described. Sometimes earthquakes happen below a volcano. This happens because magma, which is hot molten rock beneath the earth’s surface, pushes on rock until it breaks the rock and seeps into it. Then, the magma builds more pressure until it leaks more magma into the crack. Little earthquakes happen each time the rock breaks and lets in more magma. These little earthquakes are too small to feel. They are called harmonic tremors, perhaps because of their constant release of energy, like one long song played underground.
What does the analogy "they are called harmonic tremors, perhaps because of their constant release of energy, like one long song played underground" from the paragraph mean?

Use the paragraph to answer the question.
The crowd gathered around a chain-link fence and waited for the show to begin. The artist approached the large tree stump and powered up his chainsaw with a loud roar. Everyone was startled even though they knew the sound was coming. Swinging the saw in rhythmic motions and lunging forward to make quick stabs at the wood, the artist began to create an image. The people in the crowd turned their heads and squinted their eyes, trying to make out what shape the sculpture would take. Time passed quickly and the buzz of the saw dominated the scene for most of the afternoon. Then, just as the evening light softened the forest, the artist set down his saw and touched the face of the giant grizzly bear with his bare hand.

Please provide Step by step instructions to take apart and clean a Nintendo entertainment system
Please note that taking apart and cleaning a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) requires technical knowledge and skills. It is recommended to have prior experience with electronics and thorough research before attempting to disassemble and clean it. Follow these general step-by-step instructions at your own risk, and ensure you have the necessary tools and materials:
1. Preparation:
- Gather all the required tools: small Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, cotton swabs, rubbing alcohol, compressed air can or air compressor.
- Set up a clean and well-lit workspace, preferably with an anti-static mat.
- Make sure the NES is powered off and unplugged before starting.
2. External Cleaning:
- Use a soft cloth or microfiber cloth to gently wipe the exterior surfaces of the NES, removing any dust or debris.
- If there are stubborn stains, you can lightly dampen the cloth with water or rubbing alcohol to clean them.
3. Opening the NES:
- Locate and remove the screws holding the NES console casing together. They are usually located on the bottom, back, or sides of the console.
- Carefully separate the top half from the bottom half of the NES casing, ensuring you don't strain any internal cables.
4. Cleaning the Cartridge Slot:
- Remove the cartridge slot connector by gently unplugging it from the circuit board, if possible.
- Use compressed air or an air compressor to blow any dust or debris out of the cartridge slot. Be careful not to accidentally touch any exposed circuitry.
5. Cleaning the Circuit Board:
- Inspect the circuit board for any visible dirt, dust, or corrosion. Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove loose debris.
- Moisten a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol and gently clean the edge connector pins, contacts, and surrounding areas to remove any buildup or oxidation.
- Allow the circuit board to completely dry before reassembling (wait at least 15 minutes).
6. Reassembling and Testing:
- Carefully reattach the cartridge slot connector to its original position, ensuring a secure connection.
- Align the top and bottom halves of the NES case and screw them back together with the previously removed screws.
- Once assembled, reconnect the NES to a TV or monitor, insert a game cartridge, and power it on to ensure it is working properly.
Please note that these instructions are a general guideline and might not cover all the specifics for every NES model. It is strongly advised to refer to detailed NES disassembly guides or video tutorials for your specific model to ensure a safe and proper cleaning process.
