Most of the Nacirema travel to the edges of their land during the warm period of the year. They pack their vehicles with large sacks that contain food, drinks, odd-looking tools, and shiny boards. When they arrive to the edges of their land they can see water; lots of it. There are also trillions of really tiny rocks that are between the Nacirema's driving path and the water. When the Nacirema walk on rocks, they feel soft.

As Wagga Wagga is 147m above sea level, the altitude difference can affect the young athletes’ performance as it is initially less efficient due to them not being able to get a sufficient amount of oxygen to work the muscles throughout the body. The thinness of the air can increase chances of altitude sickness including headaches, dizziness and nausea. As the team only arrived 20 minutes before the scheduled start of play, they may not have had enough time to acclimatize and properly warm up before the game, causing players to become fatigue a lot quicker and possibly injuring themselves. There is less air resistance due to the air being thinner, allowing the ball to move faster and further through the air, increasing chances of direct injuries

The earth has lots of energy sources such as nuclear energy, fossil energy, and renewable sources. Solar, wind, geothermal, and water are renewable sources of energy. These energy sources are clean. They do not produce any pollution. But the most reliable energy source is the sun. The sun is an important part of living things. It produces an energy called solar energy. Solar energy is the earth’s main source of energy which can be transformed into heat and electricity. Its energy was used to heat and to light homes during the earliest centuries. Without the sun, living things on earth would not surely survive because it would be extremely cold and dark. According to the article “Solar Energy,” every year the sun carries an average of 1.5 kilowatt-hours of energy to the earth in the form of visible light, X-ray, ultraviolet, and infrared radiation (Solar Energy). Solar energy can be converted into electricity in two ways. The first one is with the use of solar thermal or electric power plants that creates power by concentrating the sun’s energy to heat the liquid and produce steam which is used to power a generator. (Solar Explained). This is mostly similar to coal and nuclear power plant.
