What are the key points?

Hello everyone! Welcome to another post today I will be sharing you the key points of a text I have read for reading. It is called ‘Underground Explorers’ it is talking about a cavers point of view of how they do things in the caves. The text is set in Mount Owen in the South Island’s Kahurangi National Park. Our task was to list the key points of the story and post it on our blogs. I hope you like my post and leave any feedback for me so I can improve in my work.

Title: Underground Explorers

KEY POINTS

  • It is a non-fiction story - meaning it is real, not fictional.
  • They are at Bulmer Cavern (in the belly of Mount Owen).
  • They were doing an experiment about the streams in the cave.
  • The experiment is about putting some dye in the stream of Bulmer Cavern.
  • They had a theory that water/stream in Bulmer Cavern was flowing through the mountain to Blue Creek Cave.
  • During their experiment, they give us knowledge about what Bulmer Cavern was like. 
  • They talked about moon milk which is a type of substances that form in limestone caves.
  • For the experiment, they poured in some fluorescent dye into the faraway stream. 
  • After less than 48 hours the dye flowed out and appeared in Blue Creek Cave. 
  • They are suggesting the mystery water is steep and fast flowing.
  • It also gives us a little explanation of what cavers feel after getting out of a cave.
  • It also tells us what cavers do if bad weather hits.
  • To summarise it up the story is about how the Bulmer Cavern is like and how they discovered the mystery stream the flows through the mountain.

Well, I hope you enjoyed and learned something about cavers. Have a great day!
