How does Rain Happen?

Rain is the primary source of fresh water for most areas of the world, providing suitable
conditions for diverse ecosystems, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and
crop irrigation.
The phenomenon of rain is actually a water circle. The concept of the water cycle
involves the sun heating the Earth's surface water and causing the surface water to
evaporate. The water vapor rises into the Earth's atmosphere. The water in the atmosphere
cools and condenses into liquid droplets. The droplets grow until they are heavy and fall
to the earth as precipitation which can be in the form of rain or snow.
However, not all rain reaches the surface. ome evaporates while falling through dry air.
This is called virga, a phenomenon which is often seen in hot, dry desert regions.
How Earthquakes Happen
Earthqua!e is one of the most destroying natural disasters. "nluc!ily it often happens in
several regions. Recently a horrible earthqua!e has sha!en #est umatra. $t has brought
great damages. #hy did it occur? %o you !now how an earthqua!e happens?
Earthqua!es are usually caused when roc! underground suddenly brea!s along a fault.
This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves. $t ma!e the ground sha!e. #hen
two bloc!s of roc! or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stic! a little. They
don't &ust slide smoothly. The roc!s are still pushing against each other, but not moving.
'fter a while, the roc!s brea! because of all the pressure that's built up. #hen the roc!s
brea!, the earthqua!e occurs.
%uring the earthqua!e and afterward, the plates or bloc!s of roc! start moving, and they
continue to move until they get stuc! again. The spot underground where the roc! brea!s
is called the focus of the earthqua!e. The place right above the focus is called the
epicenter of the earthqua!e.
How Venus Eclipse Happens
(n )ay *+, ,-*-, people in most regions in the world have seen a very rare natural
phenomenon. $t was .enus eclipse. $t was very rare ama/ing natural event. $t was
reported that the .enus eclipse will seen again in the future in ,-0-. %o you !now how
this rare .enus eclipse happens?
#ell, actually .enus eclipse is li!e un eclipse. .enus eclipses occurs when the position
of the earth, moon and .enus is parallel. .enus planet will slowly disappear for a moment
because it is covered the surface of the )oon. .enus planet seems to move to the bac!
side of the )oon.
The moon and planets are sharing a similar apparent path in the s!y. That is why, it is not
unusual for the moon to appear to pass close to .enus. $n fact, the moon appears
somewhere near it about once a month. However, most people don1t see these events
because they are visible in the evening s!y only half the time, and then only for a short
period after sunset. The apparent closeness varies from month to month as well.
How 2ell 3hone #or!
' cell phone is a great gadget in this modern world. #hat is a cell phone? ' cell phone is
actually a radio in certain way. 4i!e a radio, by a cell phone we can communicate to other
people in real time. )illion people use cell phone for their communication. Even
nowadays, people use cell phones to communicate in voice, written and data. 'le5ander
6raham 7ell is the person who ma!e great change in the way people communicate to
each other. He invented a telephone in *89+. #hile wireless radio was formally !nown in
*8::; presented by 6uglielmo )arconi. 7y these two technologies, then a cell phone
was born. However do you !now how actually cell phones wor!?
This short e5planation on how a cell phone wor! is really wonderful. ' cell phone or in
long term <cellular telephone' wor!s by transmitting signals of radio to towers of cellular.
The towers are networ!ed to a central switching station. The connection usually uses
wire, fiber optic=cables, or microwave.
Then the central switching station which handles calls in certain given area is directed
connected to the wire=based telephone system. 2ellulars are pic! up by the towers and
relayed to another cellular telephone user or the user of wire=based telephone networ!.
the towers vary in the capacity and capability to receive signals. ome can receive the
signal from short distance and the others can receive more distance. However, there are
usually more than one tower in certain given area so that the system can handle the
increasing telephone traffic.
