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.
Q. Where did the RMS TITANIC actually hit the iceberg? A. The RMS TITANIC hit an iceberg on the evening of 14 April, 1912 and sank early in the morning of 15 April, 1912. TITANIC's CQD or SOS (distress call) position was 41-56 degrees North and 50-14 degrees West.
