Obstruction is when something gets in the way and stops another thing from moving or working properly.
Imagine you're trying to push a toy car across the floor, but there's a big block right in front of it. The block doesn’t move, but it stops the toy car from going where it wants to go, that’s obstruction!
Like a Blockade
Obstruction in Real Life
Sometimes, when you're trying to walk through a crowd, people are like little blockades. If someone is standing right where you want to go, they’re causing an obstruction, you might have to wait or take a different path.
Obstruction isn’t magic; it's just something that gets in the way and makes things harder for other things to move!
Examples
- A toy car can't move because a block is in its way.
- You can't see the TV because someone is standing in front of it.
- Water can't flow through a pipe because it's clogged.
