An ant colony is an underground lair where ants live. Colonies consist of a series of underground chambers, connected to each other and the surface of the earth by small tunnels. There are rooms for nurseries, food storage, and mating. The colony is built and maintained by legions of worker ants, who carry tiny bits of dirt in their mandibles and deposit them near the exit of the colony, forming an anthill. Ant colonies are eusocial, and are very much like those found in other social Hymenopterans, though the various groups of ...

A burrow is a hole or tunnel dug into the ground by an animal to create a space suitable for habitation, temporary refuge, or as a byproduct of locomotion.

Rodents are perhaps most well-known for burrowing, especially the prolific gopher and groundhog (one expert estimates that a single groundhog burrow occupies a full cubic meter, displacing 320 kilograms of dirt). Other examples of burrowing animals include a number of insects, fish, amphib ...

Creeping Barrage is a military tactic in which massed artillery support an infantry advance by firing continuously at positions just in front of the advancing troops.

The technique was forgotten, but then re-discovered during World War I and first deployed by Sir Henry Horne, 1st Baron Horne for the Battle of the Somme in August 1916. Eventually the technique beco ...

Nearly all tracks are oval and less than a mile in length with most being 1/2 mile or less. The most common increments in the U.S. are 1/2 mile, 3/8 mile, 1/4 mile, and 1/8 mile. With the longer tracks, the racecars achieve higher speeds and the interval between cars increases. This decreases the chance of crashes but increases the damage and chance of injury when cars do crash. The track surface may be composed of any soil, but most racers prefer a track with a clay base. The track operators usually try to keep the surface tacky and may sprinkle water on it if it begins to dry. Some oper ...
