The hottest place on earth was located in California, USA, the ‘Death Valley’,  the hottest temperature recorded in the valley was 134°F (56.7 °C) and that’s super hot it’ll burn your skin not only it burns you, it also causes heatstroke if unlucky even death. Even though it’s super hot in the there’s still there’s life lurking on the valley. Despite all of it, Death Valley is one of the best tourist spots in the world, it has an amazing view it also has a park. Link

The coldest place on earth was inhabited and it was called Antarctica, Antarctica is

covered 98% of ice Antarctica is much colder than you what you think, it has an average annual temperature of -10°C and -57°C at the interior part. Because of its extreme climate, no one lives there except for the scientist who’s studying in there or some certain animals such as penguins, antarctic fishes, albatross, and seals. Link

Such extreme places on earth also had similarities, both of them is human inhabitants due to its weather, but some of the certain animals live in these places. The differences between both of them are the temperature and climates.

Respiration and Combustion

Respiration 
- Respiration is an Energy releasing process in which the glucose is oxidized with the help of oxygen and the breakdown of glucose releases the energy. In animals, there are special organs for respiration, in plants gaseous exchange occurs by diffusion method. Link

  Combustion

- Combustion is the process of burning something to get energy. During combustion, the heat is supplied on to Sugar the sugar first chars and then gives the flame. The sugar releases energy in the form of heat at a time. From this, we can define combustion as a process of Burning the sugar to get energy. Link

 Similarities
- Both respiration and combustion require oxygen and both produce energy.  Energy is released in the form of heat in both respiration and combustion.  Heat is required for both respiration and combustion to carry on the process. Link

Difference 
- Respiration is the process of oxidation of food materials like glucose, Amino acids, fatty acids to water and carbon dioxide. Respiration does not require any external heat to carry on the process. Combustion is only done by applying external heat to the sugar molecule to burn. Link
