Explanation Text (SNOW)

Snow occurs through a process of water vapor condensation and freezing. Water vapor gathers in clouds in the atmosphere until the clouds become heavy enough for the water particles to fall to earth. For snow to form, the falling water particles must freeze into ice crystals before reaching the ground. This freezing process is sped up when the pure water particles come into contact with contaminant particles in the air, known as nucleators, which allow the water to freeze into ice crystals at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius. These ice crystals fall as snowflakes, each with a unique shape, creating the soft white substance we see on the ground in winter.

SNOW

Snow is one of interesting phenomenon when winter comes. Snow become interesting because
the ice crystals are so soft and white like cotton. Snow just fall in countries that has four seasons or
in high place like Jayawijaya mountain in Papua, Indonesia.
Do you know about snow ? Can you tell me how snow occurs ? Well, let me explain it. Snow
begins from water vapor that gathered in the Earth’s atmosphere. A bunch of water vapor then
cools to the point of condensation (the point at which the gas turns into liquid or solid form), then
coagulates and form clouds. At the beginning of forming the clouds, its mass is smaller than the
mass of the air, so the clouds float in the air. But, once the water vapor continue to gathered in the
clouds, its mass also increases. So, at some point the air can no longer hold it mass. Then, the
clouds broke and the water particles fall to the earth.
The water particles that fall is pure water (not contaminated by
other particles). The pure water doesn’t freeze directly at the 0 degree of Celcius,
to make the pure water freeze required lower temperature than 0 degree of
Celcius. However, low temperature doesn’t enough to form snow. The particles of
pure water need to contaminate with other particles in the air that will make the
freezing process faster. Then, the pure water will turn into ice crystals.

The contaminated particles that involve in this process called nucleator, not
only has function to make the freezing process faster but also to tied the water
vapor. So, the water particles (contaminated one) that gathered with the other
water particles will form bigger ice crystals. These ice crystals that fall to earth
which we call snow. Snow has a unique structure because there is no snow crystal
that has the same shape, just like our fingerprint
