What is Air Pressure? Imagine a group of acrobats at the circus. One climbs up and stands on another's shoulders.

The weight of the acrobat on top puts more pressure on the one below. Then another acrobat climbs up and stands on the second acrobat's shoulders. Now there's even more pressure on the acrobat on the bottom because he is under the weight of the two acrobats above him. It's the same with air. Yes, air has weight, and probably more than you think. In fact, the weight of the air on your desk at school weighs about 11,000 pounds. That's about the same weight as a school bus! Since air pressure pushes in all directions, the air pressure pushing up from under your desk balances out the air pushing down on it, so the desk doesn't collapse under the weight. Just like an acrobat with two people stacked on his shoulders would want to move to where there wasn't so much pressure on him, air moves from areas where the pressure is higher to where it is lower. What causes Air Pressure? Air pressure depends on the density of the air, or how close together its molecules are. You know that a hard rubber ball is denser than a Styrofoam ball and that ice cream is denser than whipped cream. Air lower in the atmosphere is more dense than air above, so air pressure down low is greater than air pressure higher up. (Remember those acrobats; there's a lot more pressure on the one on bottom than on the one on top.) Temperature also makes changes in air pressure. In cold air, the molecules are more closely packed together than in warm air, so cold air is denser than warm air. Rising and Sinking Air Since warm air is less dense and creates less air pressure, it will rise; cold air is denser and creates greater air pressure, and so it will sink. When warm air rises, cooler air will often move in to replace it, so wind often moves from areas where it's colder to areas where it's warmer. The greater the difference between the high and low pressure and the shorter the distance between the high and low pressure areas, the faster the wind will blow. Wind also blows faster if there's nothing in its way, so winds are usually stronger over oceans or flat ground. Meteorologists can forecast the speed and direction of wind by measuring air pressure with a barometer. Wind Direction Although wind blows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, it doesn't blow in a straight line. That's because the earth is rotating. In the northern hemisphere, the spin of the earth causes winds to curve to the right (to the left in the southern hemisphere). This is called the coriolis effect. So in the northern hemisphere, winds blow clockwise around an area of high pressure and counter-clockwise around low pressure.

Metakognitiv at Kognitiv na Estratehiya tungo sa kritikal na Pagbasa

Kognitiv-ang pagkatuto ay tinatayang isang pangyayaring kognitiv sapagkat ito ay nagpapakita ng mga taglay na kaalaman kapag ang mga taglay na kaalaman ay nagamit tulad na lang halimbawa kung pinagbubuti ng isang bata ang kanyang pagbabasa at pilit na inuunawa ang kanyang binabasa,ipinapakita niya ang kanyang kakayahang kognativ.

Metakognitiv-ang metakognitiv naman ay kung habang nagbabasa ang isang bata, ay natanto niya na kailangan niyang matandaan ang kanyang binabasa,ipinamamalas niya ang kanyang kakayahang metakognitiv.Ang metakognitiv kung gayon ay tumutukoy sa ating kamalayan sa mga proseso sa pag iisip habang gumagawa tayo ng pagkakahulugan ang isang mapanuring pagbabasa,pagkukuro at pamamatnubay sa mga hypotesis,pagtatanong sa sarili malalim na analisis sa teksto habang nagpapakahulugan ay gawaing metakognitiv.

Lyrics of Buko Jireh Lim

Chorus: Kung inaakala mo Ang pag-ibig koy magbabago Itaga mo sa bato Dumaan man ang maraming pasko Kahit na di mo na abot ang sahig Kahit na di mo na ko marinig Ikaw pa rin ang buhay Chorus: Verse: Naalala ko pa Nung pinapangarap pa lamang kita Hahatid, susunduin Kahit mga bituin aking susungkitin Chorus: Bridge: Araw-araw kitang liligawan Haharanahin ka lagi Kitang liligawan Haharanahin ka lagi

Verse: Naalala ko pa Nung nililigawan pa lamang kita Dadalaw tuwing gabi Masilayan lamang ang yong mga ngiti At Ikay sasabihan Bukas ng alas siyete sa dating tagpuan Buo ang araw ko Marinig ko lang ang mga himig mo Hindi ko man alam kung nasan ka Wala man tayong komunikasyon Mag hihintay sayo buong magdamag Dahil ikaw ang buhay ko

"A Thousand Years" Heart beats fast Colors and promises How to be brave? How can I love when I'm afraid to fall But watching you stand alone? All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow One step closer [Chorus:] I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more Time stands still Beauty in all she is I will be brave I will not let anything take away What's standing in front of me Every breath Every hour has come to this One step closer

[Chorus:] I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more One step closer One step closer [Chorus:] I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more
