Why Summer Daylight is Longger than Winter Daylight

In the summer, the amount of daylight that we get is more than we get in
winter. This is not because as much people think we are closer to the sun but
because of the tilt of the earth.The earth is actually closer to the sun in
winter than it is in summer but you would beforgiven for thinking that this
can not be true after looking out of your window on a cold andfrosty
morning.It seems strange that as the earth get closer to the sun during its
orbit then the amount of daylight that we get decrease. But that is the case.
It is the tilt of the earth that determine theamount of daylight that we get
and so the length of time that for us the sun is above thehorizon.
The Process of Rain
Water in the earth is kept in many places like the ocean, the ocean, the river
and the lake. Butdon't be wrong, the plants leaves and the land also kept
water.Each day, this water will evaporate with help of the sun. The process
where water evaporatesfrom plants is called transpiration. Afterwards the
vapour will experience the process of condensation where the vapour will
condense and turn into a cloud. The form of the cloudalways changes
according to weather conditions.The clouds will move to different locations
with the help of wind that bellows vertically or horizontally. The movement
of the vertical wind results in the cloud forming big 'lumps'.After that, the
wind increases the size of the cloud and each cloud will overlap. Finally
thecloud will reach the atmosphere that has a lower temperature. Here the
particles of water andice is formed.Eventually, the wind can not support the
weight of the cloud and so the cloud that is full withwater will experience a
process called precipitation or the process where rain or hail falls toearth.







































































































































Tsunami
The term of tsunami comes from the Japanese which means harbour
("tsu") and wave("nami"). A tsunami is a series of waves generated when
water in a lake or the sea is rapidly displaced on a massive scale. A tsunami
can be generated when the sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically
displaces the overlying water. Such large vertical movements of the earth's
crust can occur at plate boundaries. Subduction of earthquakes are
particularly effective in generating tsunamis, and occur where denser
oceanic plates slip under continental plates. As the displaced water mass
moves under the influence of gravity to regain its equilibrium, it radiates
across the ocean like ripples on a pond. Tsunami always bring great damage.
Most of the damage is caused by the huge mass of water behind the initial
wave front, as the height of the sea keeps rising fast and floods powerfully
into the coastal area.
How Earthquakes Happen
Earthquake is one of the most destroying natural disasters. Unluckily it often
happens in several regions. Recently a horrible earthquake has shaken West
Sumatra. It has brought great damages. Why did it occur? Do you know how
an earthquake happens?
Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks
along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves. It
make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing
against each other, they stick a little. They don't just slide smoothly. The
rocks are still pushing against each other, but not moving. After a while, the
rocks break because of all the pressure that's built up. When the rocks break,
the earthquake occurs.
During the earthquake and afterward, the plates or blocks of rock start
moving, and they continue to move until they get stuck again. The spot
underground where the rock breaks is called the focus of the earthquake.
The place right above the focus is called the epicenter of the earthquake.
