Weather Patterns

Today I am going to discuss about weather patterns.

Layers of Atmosphere

First I am going to tell about the layers of the atmosphere. The atmosphere has an altitude of about 1000 km. The first layer is the troposphere, this the layer where weather happens. The next layer is the stratosphere, this is where airplanes fly to avoid harmful weather. The next is the mesosphere. Then it is the thermosphere it is very hot and its temperature may rise to 1700 degrees celsius. Last but not least is the exosphere. 

Convection Currents

Convection are like moving currents of convection. It is a boundary of hot and cold air. Hot air is less dense than cold air that's why hot air rises. The particles of cold air are a bit closer than hot water. If you put hot water and cold water it will also make a convection current.

Severe Weather

Severe weather such as thunderstorms may be created. Thunderstorms are made if all air currents move upwards until their mixed. When they get mixed the currents will move down and make a thunderstorm. Another severe weather is tornadoes. When air rolls like a log. One current might move the other side up the clouds. The other side gets pushed down and creates a wind funnel. When the wind funnel reached the ground it creates a tornado. The last one  is hurricanes. It is very destructive. It gets power from warm oceans and will weaken when it reaches land. It creates waves and may move vehicles.

Weather Tools

One of the weather tools is a barometer it measures air pressure. It is used to predict severe weather. Another one is the anemometer it is used to measure wind speed. The last one is the rain gauge. It measures how much rain has fallen for a certain time.

Weather and Climate

What is weather and climate. Weather is the condition of the atmosphere day by day. Climate is the average of weather for a long time. It could be about 30 years. Weather may include rain, sleet, and precipitation. Climate may include sunlight and more.

Walking Dead: Who is Negan?

In the Walking Dead TV series you might be asking who is Negan?  I am not just talking about the Saviors saying we're all Negan. So if you haven't read the comics he is a pretty scary villain. He killed neumerous people. He was the leader of the gang the Saviors. He owns a very brutal weapon. Which is a baseball bat with barbed wire wrapped around it, it is named Lucille. So he is a person that is very brutal. In the TV series we already know that he is part of the Saviors. Another thing we know is that he is played by Jeffery Dean Morgan. We also know he is the leader of the Saviors. We don't know what Rick and his group is against, but one thing for sure he'll defienetly bring a lot of deaths!

Minecraft 5 Things You Don't Know

Minecraft is full of surprises. So today I am going to tell you things you don't know in Minecraft.  1. Pigmen can be created if a pig is hit by lightning. If you spawn lightning and hits a pig it will turn into a pigman. You need a command to do it. Once turned into a pigman they will now have fire resistance and will attack if provoked. 2. If leaves are destroyed with shears it will drop a leaf block. Shears are useful for obtaining leaf blocks. Leaf blocks could be used as a decoration for the house. Though the leaf blocks may despawn so put it on dirt. Remember shears are also useful! 3. Useless emeralds? In PE emeralds cannot actually be traded though it can be found in blacksmiths. Emeralds can also be mined but still rendered useless since you can't trade with it. So I recommend to find emeralds for the next update of PE. 4. PE beds from PC beds. In PE you don't need to sleep at the same time instead you just need to sleep with your friend to skip the night. While yo...

My Watery Christmas

This Christmas we went to Caliraya Lake. The view was so beautiful. First I played some games like Jenga with my cousins. I didn't really get to play with gadgets because electricity was quite low. In fact our gadgets like went off on the first day of the trip. When I was bored I went kayaking with my father. I jumped out of the kayak and cold water splashed around me. I swam around having fun. After we swam around we ate dinner. It was so yummy! The next day we celebrated Christmas. We gave gifts to my cousins. After that we went to the boat house looking at the view. Me and my friends relaxed there. After we went swimming but this time the water is shivering cold. Like at first jump I was already shivering. We still had some fun jumping around. We took a video of our jumps. Then my father gave us a ride on the kayak. Then we pretended to be soldiers and played some gun fight, don't worry the guns are also fake! After that we ate some snacks and spaghetti. I woke up early then...
