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!

A Fun Vacation in a Great Island: Cowrie Island

The next day we went to a cool island. Somebody drove us at the boats. The boat went to Cowrie island. Once we got to the island I was excited to swim. We got a cottage, ran to the water, and swam. We used the snorkels that we brought. We swam and tried chasing fish. We also saw weird-looking mollusks. We discovered some places. We then ate lunch. The food was very yummy and I liked it so much.  After that I rushed back to the beach we swam again and again. We even saw something that might be a big clam.  Tommorow might do something very fun!

First make a 40 by 40 wall that is 10 blocks high. Make the wall fire resistant you'll see why later. Make a floor for the base. Third put a ceiling for the base you may want to put the ladders or stairs first before you make the ceiling. Next decorate the room put sword make brewery stands or even a place you could shoot targets with a bow.  If you want with a second floor make ladders that will lead to the second floor surround the second floor with ridges. Make a huge room in the second floor with some weapons this will be the weapon room and if you want add a bit more of the rooms. Make a door leading outside in the second floor put some chests with bow and arrows in it this will be the archer tower. Make ladders to the third floor but don't put any rooms there. Make ridges surrounding it and put ench...
