10 Things That Started From The Bottom And Are Now Here

Drake is apparently not alone in his successful trek from the bottom to the top.

1. Sequoia Trees

These mighty pines can grow up to 329 feet high and can live 1200-1500 years.

2. Potatoes

This important crop is planted four inches deep and can grow to be 24 inches or taller. In the end you can make baked potatoes, french fries, potato soup, potato chips...

3. The Stock Market

The Dow Jones plummeted to 557.50 in December of 1974. As of July 23 it closed at 15567.74.

4. Crabs, Shrimp, Scallops and other yummy bottom feeders

Many species of crab, shrimp and scallop live at the bottom of the ocean before they are (gulp!) caught, cooked, and served.

5. The World's Tallest Flower

The garden of the world’s tallest flower located in Niagra Parks Floral Showcase is full of flowers that reach around 15 feet in height. All from an inch-long seed!

6. Space Craft

The Voyager 1, an unmanned space craft, started from Earth and is now 11.7 billion miles away and counting.

7. Sea Turtles

Mature female sea turtles create nests on shore about 16-20 inches deep and deposit 50 -200 eggs. Once hatched, the baby turtles use their snouts to dig toward the sandy surface and find their way to the ocean.

8. Diamonds

One of the most opportune environments for a diamond to form is 87 to 120 miles deep within the earth’s lithospheric mantle. Also known as waaaaay down there.

9. Hot Magma

Volcanoes erupt due to heat, density and pressure. Gas causes the magma to rise until it oozes from the opening at the top of the volcanic mountain as lava.

10. Drake

Aubrey Drake Graham was born in October of 1986 in Toronto, Ontario. He received his first star gig as Jimmy Brooks on Degrassi: The Next Generation and is now the front running rapper on the Young Money Entertainment label. There is some confusion as to whether he perceives Ontario or Degrassi as “the bottom.”
