What is the difference between terrarium and aquarium?
terrarium and aquarium are microcosms of the natural world, re -created in a clear glass or plastic. Terrarium and aquariums usually have a rectangular shape, but it can be virtually any shape. The basic difference between the terrarium and the aquarium is water. The aquarium is full of water and contains fish and other water life. On the other hand, the terrarium may contain water, but is generally not filled with water. Terraria usually have soil, rocks and plants and are built for earthly life such as snakes, lizards and frogs.
Modern terrarium and aquarium can watch their history directly with Dr. Nathaniel Ward, English doctor and amateur botanist. At the beginning of the 18th century, Dr. Ward accidentally created a terrarium. He collected cocoons and samples of plants and placed the cocoons in a covered glass container. After a few days he noticed that small plants were growing in the container, next to Cocoon. Overmight of what he saw began to construct terrariums to study ecosystems in a miniature.
Today, the terrarium and the aquarium are as popular as always. There are so many different styles of every small world. It is possible to re -create almost any ecosystem, with a possible exception of the Alpine climate. The aquarium can be freshwater, salt water or brackish water (water that has a level of salinity somewhere between fresh and salt water). Terrarium and aquariums are full of environmentally suitable flora and fauna. Chopsticks, branches, leaves and other plants are generally included in terrariums, while things like false castles, aquatic plants and coral or coral objects fill the aquariums. There are large and small terrariums and aquariums, terrariums in a container, aquariums on the wall and everything between them.
Studies have shown that terrariums, and especially aquariums, evoke a feeling of peace around. Our heart rate was measured to decrease noticeably when we are in a room that has an aquarium. The process of creating a terrarium said it has a calming effect on the creator.
