As you read the excerpt below, think about how the author has organized or structured the information. Think of a bottle of soda pop. Before it is opened, there is no sign of bubbles. As soon as the bottle is opened, though, bubbles suddenly appear. In fact, they can foam all over the place. That is because there is a gas, carbon dioxide, dissolved inside the liquid soda. The soda in the closed bottle is under pressure. When a liquid is under pressure, it can dissolve more gas than when it is not under pressure.
