How does Rain Fall?

Rain is one of the main sources of fresh water for almost all people in the world. It provides
suitable conditions for diverse ecosystems. It is also used as hydroelectric power plants and
crop irrigation. But, do you know how rain happens?
The rain’s phenomenon is actually what we often call as “water circle.” The concept of the
water cycle involves the sun heating the Earth’s surface water and causing the surface water
to evaporate. Then the water vapor rises into the Earth’s atmosphere.
The water in the atmosphere cools and condenses into liquid droplets. The droplets grow
bigger and heavier and fall to the Earth as precipitation.
However, not all rain can reach the surface of the earth. Some evaporates while failing
through dry air. This is what we call as “Virga”, a phenomenon which is often seen in hot,
dry desert regions.

Tsunami
Tsunami occurs when major fault under the ocean floor suddenly slips. The displaced rock
pushes water above it like a giant paddle, producing powerful water waves at the ocean
surface. The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the earthquake source and move
across the ocean until they reach the coastline, where their height increases as they reach the
continental shelf, the part of the earth crust that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor up to the
land.

A tsunami washes ashore with oftendisastrous effects such as severe flooding, loss of lives
due to drowning and damage to property.

A tsunami is a very large sea wave that is generated by a disturbance along the ocean floor.
This disturbance can be an earthquake, a landslide, or a volcanic eruption. A tsunami is
undetectable far out in the ocean, but once it reaches shallow water, this fast traveling wave
grows very large.

Water pollution has been increasing at a worrying rate. If consumed in a contaminated state,
it may prove fatal to both – human beings and the environment. Let us find out how this
pollution affects the ecological balance and poses a threat to our lives. First, it is agricultural
pollution. Excess fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides used for agricultural procedures often
get discharged in water bodies right from streams to lakes and seas. Another way water
pollution happens is mining activities. During mining, the rock strata is crushed with the help
of heavy equipment on a large scale. These rocks are often composed of sulfides and heavy
metals, which when combined with water from sulfuric acid and other harmful pollutants.
Next, it happens through the so-called sewage water. The leftover or excess water that is left
after carrying out domestic and industrial activities is called sewage water which consists of a
lot of chemicals, and is left untreated. People flushing medicines and other chemical
substances down the toilet has been a cause of concern for the developed countries today.
Also, the burning of fossil is another source.

10. The main idea of the text is ....

A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land. In the sense of “ flowing
water”, the world may also be applied to inflow of the tide. Flooding may result from the
volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake , which overflows or break
levees, with the result that some of the water escapes its unusual boundaries.

While the size of a lake or other body of water will vary with seasonal changes in
precipitation and show melt, it is not a significant flood unless such escapes of water
endanger land areas used by man like a village, city or other inhabited area.

Floods can also occur in rivers, when fl ow exceeds the capacity of the river channel,
particularly at bends or meanders. Flood often cause damage to homes and businesses if they
are placed in natural flood plains of rivers. While flood damage van be virtually eliminated
by moving away from and other bodies of water, since time out of mind, people have lived
and worked by the water to seek the sustenance and capitalize on the gains of cheap and easy
travel and commerce by being near water. That humans continue to inhabit areas threatened
by flood damage is evidence that the perceived value of living near the water exceeds the cost
of repeated periodic flooding.

     B. Place in natural flood plains of rivers
     C. Inhabit the areas threatened by flood damage

A tsunami is a series of ocean waves that sends surges of water, sometimes reaching heights
of over 100 feet (30.5 meters), onto land. These walls of water can cause widespread
destruction when they crash ashore.

These awe-inspiring waves are typically caused by large, undersea earthquakes at tectonic
plate boundaries. When the ocean floor at a plate boundary rises or falls suddenly, it displaces
the water above it and launches the rolling waves that will become a tsunami.

Most tsunami, about 80 percent, happen within the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of Fire," a
geologically active area where tectonic shifts make volcanoes and earthquakes common.

Tsunamis may also be caused by underwater landslides or volcanic eruptions. They may even
be launched, as they frequently were in Earth's ancient past, by the impact of a large
meteorite plunging into an ocean.

Tsunamis race across the sea at up to 500 miles (805 kilometers) an hour — about as fast as a
jet airplane. At that pace they can cross the entire expanse of the Pacific Ocean in less than a
day. And their long wavelengths mean they lose very little energy along the way.
A tsunami's trough, the low point beneath the wave's crest, often reaches shore first. When it
does, it produces a vacuum effect that sucks coastal water seaward and exposes harbor and
sea floors. This retreating of sea water is an important warning sign of a tsunami, because the
wave's crest and its enormous volume of water typically hit shore five minutes or so later.
Recognizing this phenomenon can save lives.

A tsunami is usually composed of a series waves, called a wave train, so its destructive force
may be compounded as successive waves reach shore. People experiencing a tsunami should
remember that the danger may not have passed with the first wave and should await official
word that it is safe to return to vulnerable locations.

Some tsunamis do not appear on shore as massive breaking waves but instead resemble a
quickly surging tide that inundates coastal areas.

Globalization has been around for a long time in one shape or another. Trade routes have
been operating between different part of the world since ancient times. Now, globalization
has extended into other sectors. However, people view its merits differently. The followers of
globalization believe that productivity grows in countries that open up their markets and
integrate with outside economies as they gain access to wealthy economies where they can
sell their goods and services. Next, lesser developed nations benefit from the increase in
investment from foreign countries both financially and through jobs. Finally, through
globalization, countries can specialize more in what they produce and what they do best. The
opponents of globalization have their views, first, wages and working conditions everywhere
are pushed downwards as companies gravitate towards countries where the wages are the
lowest and the workers’ rights are the worst. In addition, the environment suffers, as
production moves to places where they have less strict rules and regulations about controlling
pollution and deforestation. Most seriously, globalization undermines national sovereignties
and national governments as individual countries become increasingly at the mercy of
international markets, and multinational corporations grow more powerful and influential.

18. How can globalization potentially damage environment?

     A. Production of good pays little attention to natural balances
     B. Foreign investment tends to put heavy economic benefit
     C. Lands of developing countries are excessively cultivated
     D. Irresponsibly mutational factories dump the sewage
     E. Industries tend to occupy areas with weak laws 

Snow

The snowfall is always exciting, isn’t it? In the snowfall you can crunch through the snow,
make a snowman and play snowballs with your brother. Have you ever wondered how snow
is made, through?
Snow occurs when water vapors in the air freeze before they can turn into water. This
happens when the temperature in the clouds is very cold. Snowflakes are made up of crystals
of ice that have formed around bits of dirt in the air. The snowflakes start out very small and
grow. Each snowflake is different and might contain up to 200 crystals.
19. Snow happens in the air because ….
a. the evaporation is failed
b. the weather in the cloud is too cold
c. there is no condensation
d. the atmosphere layer is too thin
e. there is no adequate precipitation
