2. Definition of Explanation Text is a text that contains about processes related to

creation of something that occurs naturally, or the process of the workings of
existing social phenomena, besides this text also provides clear information to the

reader so that they can understand about a phenomenon that is happening .

occurred in Indonesia was caused by the geographical location on two continents and
two samdra, then the movement of the plates, Indonesia was surrounded by Pacific
Ring of fire and a chain reaction of volcanoes.
