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.

A Fun Vacation in a Great Island: Cannonball!

This day is my favorite day of them all! We went to two islands! The first one was called Starfish island the second is Luli island. Starfish island we didn't stay there for long but we sure did see a cool sand castle. We also played some real life Pokémon, a game we created! It was too rocky and some of us actually got wounded by rocks. In Luli island I saw a lot of puddles and some structures built up high. I didn't mind them and went snorkeling on the beach with my brother and cousins. We saw small amounts of fish. Then one of my cousins said "Diving board". We looked up high and saw a big diving board. When I asked my dad he said I should wear a life jacket if I want to. We went to the rented cottage and saw why Luli island is called "Luli". Lu means "lumolubog" which means it sinks with the current and only the man-made structures are visible. Li mean "lilitaw" which mean floats. That must explain the structure being built up high an...

Before you go to the end go to the nether. Here's a tutorial on how to go to the nether http://gyle-francisco.blogspot.com/2015/10/minecrafthow-to-get-to-nether.html. Once you went to the nether go to a nether fortress and kill a lot of blazes for blaze rods. Craft all of the rods to blaze powder. Fight lots of enderman to ender pearls. I recommend a full stack of blaze powder and ender pearls. In your crafting table craft eyes of ender. Throw them in to the sky and follow it until it keeps falling to the same place. Dig one block wide and two block long hole on the spot where the eye of ender keeps falling. You'll see a stronghold and a spawner. Disable the spawner and kill all the silverfish. Put the remaining eyes in the ender portal frames and jump in. WARNING: You won't be able to...

Minecraft: How to Make an Item Farm

An item farm is a machine that is used to get different and cool stuff. This item farm is very easy and may be used to get arrows, iron, armor, or even weapons! Today I am going to tell you how to make an easy to make item farm. First, make a big room about 10 by 10. In the center of the room dig a hole that will kill mobs. In the hole put droppers and chests below. Put dispensers that shoot snowballs or just water so that the mobs will get knocked in the hole. If you're going to spawn in zombies or skeletons make a roof. If you put dispensers connect all of with redstone. Put a lever so that you'll activate the dispensers. Make a way to get to the chests and droppers so that you'll collect all the loot.  Enjoy your item farm!
