This discovery directly led to G R Carey, an American inventor, (57) _ up with the first real television system in 1875 His system used selenium to transmit a picture along wires to

a row of light bulbs This picture was not very clear, however

Land that is covered with trees, grass and other plants wears away very slowly, and so loses very (62) _ of its soil The roots of plants help to (63) _ the rocks and soil in place Water that falls on grasslands runs away more slowly than water that falls on bare ground Thus, forests and grasslands help to slow down erosion

Even where the land is (64) _ covered with plants, some erosion goes on In the spring, the (65) _ snow turns into a large quantity of water that then runs downhill in streams As a stream carries away some of the soil, the stream bed gets deeper and deeper After thousands of years of such erosion, wide valleys are often formed
