Answer: Fold Flood

A fold, sheepfold, pen, or shelter is the name given to an enclosure surrounded by a fence, wall, or other materials so that flocks of sheep or goats are protected from predators and thieves. "Fold" is a term in use since the 12th century.

A flood happens when water soaks or overflows land that is normally dry. It can be caused by heavy rainfall, storm surge, snowmelt, and dam releases. There are two types of floods: riverine and flash. The riverine flood occurs when, due to excess water, rivers, and channels break their banks and inundate adjacent areas. Flash flood occurs when, in a short period of time, there is heavy rain in a certain area. In urban areas, if the drainage system can't cope, flash floods create a lot of problems.

Our system is located in the Milk Way Galaxy.

Answer: Meter Meteor

A meter is a basic unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It was defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the Equator to the North Pole along a great circle. Over the years this value was redefined several times. A meter is equivalent to 39.37 inches.

In space, there are thousands of space rocks circling which are called meteoroids. When a space rock enters the Earth's atmosphere at high velocity and burns up it creates a fireball or a bright tail of light that can be seen in the sky. These objects are called "meteors", shooting stars, or falling stars. When the object does not disintegrate and hits the ground it's called a meteorite.

In the 19th century, the situation changed with the discovery of opal mines in Australia and later in other countries.
