seemingly intricate things in nature can be understood in terms of relatively straightforward mathematical relationships. These mathematical relationships are a recurring concept in the fields of Kinematics and Dynamics which focuses on ways in which objects/matter move whilst evaluating behaviours like displacement‚ acceleration and velocity (Wise Geek‚ 03-13). Kinematics derives its name from the Greek word for “motion” (kinema) (Sparknotes‚ 2011). This field is centred under a sub branch of mechanics

Like the setting in the story‚ they seem to form a snake-like‚ “quasi-subterranean stream that curved across the country” (Norton 2‚ 1234).
