What Causes Weather?
Weather is the physical condition of the atmosphere at a particular time and place. It
includes temperature, air pressure and water content.
Weather is produced when air moves from place to place. This moving air is known as wind.
Winds are formed when the cooler air moves in to replace the rising warm air. Warm air is usually
less dense than cool air: therefore, it creates low air pressure.
Cool air is more dense and creates high air pressure. Usually we have fine weather when the
air pressure is high and there are clouds. rain and snow when the air pressure drops.

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 snowflakes
is different and might contain up to 200 crystals.

E. People
9. This happens whwn the temperature in the clouds is very cold (p.2) the word “cold” has the
antonym....
A. Hot
B. Bitter
C. Neat
D. Dirty
E. Crowded

The conditions needed to produce lightning have been known for some time. However, exactly how
lightning forms has never been verified, so there is room for debate. Leading theories focus around
separation of electric charge and generation of an electric field within a thunderstorm.
A moving thunderstorm gathers another pool of positively charged particles along the ground that
travel with the storm. As the differences in charges continue to increase, positively charged particles
ascend to taller objects such as trees, houses, and telephone poles. A channel of negative charge,
called a "stepped ladder," will descend from the bottom of the storm toward the ground. It is
invisible to the human eye, and shoots to the ground in a series of rapid steps, each occurring in less
time than it takes to blink your eye. As the negative leader approaches the ground, positive charges
form on the ground and in objects on the ground. This positive charge "reaches" out to the
approaching negative charge with its own channel, called a "streamer." When these channels
connect, the resulting electrical transfer is what we see as lightning. After the initial lightning stroke,
if enough charge is left over, additional lightning strokes will use the same channel and will give the
bolt its flickering appearance.
10. To explain how a thunderstorm is formed

To describe what lightening looks like

To argue about thunderstorms
To discuss lightening
11. When can we see the electrical transfer as lightning?

A. When the negative charge descends from the bottom of the storm toward the ground
B. When the negative charge channel connects with the positive charge channel
C. When the negative charge shoots to the ground in a series of rapid steps
D. When the positive charge approaches the negative charge
E. When the positive charge gathers along the ground
12. Which statement is TRUE according to the text!

A. Lightning strikes twice at one time
B. Positive charge channel descends on lower objects
C. A streamer is the negative charge with its own channel
D. Negative charge collects on the ground and in objects on the ground.
E. we cannot see the negative charge channel that goes down to the ground
Grand Canyon is the result of a combination of geologic events. The term "canyon" is a type
of erosional valley with extremely steep sides, frequently forming vertical or nearly vertical cliff
faces. The term "gorge" is often used interchangeably with "canyon" and generally implies a smaller,
particularly narrow feature.
The story begins almost two billion years ago with the formation of the igneous and
metamorphic rocks of the inner gorge. Above these old rocks lie layer upon layer of sedimentary
rock, each telling a unique part of the environmental history of the Grand Canyon region.
Then, between 70 and 30 million years ago, through the action of plate tectonics, the whole
region was uplifted, resulting in the high and relatively flat Colorado Plateau. The uplift of the
Colorado Plateau was a key step in the eventual formation of Grand Canyon. The action of plate
tectonics lifted the rocks high and flat, creating a plateau through which the Colorado River could cut
down.
There are two currently favored hypotheses which are called shallow-angle subduction and
continued uplift through isostacy. Shallow-angle subduction allowed for deformation to move
further inward from the plate margin. Different from the theory, some scientists believe that uplift
of the Colorado Plateau continued into the middle to late Cenozoic. This is the theory of continued
uplift. Finally, beginning just 5-6 million years ago, the Colorado River began to carve its way
downward. Further erosion by tributary streams led to the canyon's widening.
What does the writer want to do through the text?
A. Describe a place called Grand Canyon.
B. Explain about the formation of Grand Canyon.
C. Explain the procedure of visiting Grand Canyon.
D. Describe the physical characteristics of Grand Canyon.
E. Persuade the readers that Grand Canyon is a natural phenomenon.
13. It can be understood from paragraph 3 that ...

A. The action of the plate tectonics created the Colorado River.
B. Grand Canyon was formed because of abrasion in Colorado River.
C. Colorado Plateau was resulted by the formation of Grand Canyon.
D. Colorado Plateau was formed after the formation of Grand Canyon.
E. The uplift of Colorado Plateau generates the formation of Grand Canyon.
14. What causes the Grand Canyon to expand?

A. Erosion by tributary streams
B. Shallow-angle subduction
C. Action of tectonic plates
D. Rock sedimentation
E. Continued uplift
