Bottom-up processing is not thought to be a very efficient way to approach a text initially, and is often contrasted with top-down processing, which is thought to be more efficient. Example. Asking learners to read aloud may encourage bottom-up processing because they focus on word forms, not meaning.
Had Titanic hit the iceberg head on, it is likely that there would be massive crushing of the fore part of the ship, which may have prolonged its end, since theoretically while it may have begun to go down by the bow, the center and aft compartments would have stayed dry for a longer period of time.
The Titanic was only built to stay afloat with four compartments flooded. It is thought that had Titanic hit the iceberg head on, it would have stayed afloat. Within 2 Â½ hours, Titanic disappeared below the waves, taking the lives of approximately 1,517 persons. Another weather theory has also recently appeared. A British historian, by the name of Maltin, theorizes that the Titanic might have hit the fatal iceberg because of a rare weather condition which created a âfake horizon,â leaving the crew unaware of the threat until it was too late.
