How do seasons happen?

Seasons come to us regularly. We have probably noticed that it gets warmer in

summer or dry season while it get colder in the winter or wet season. However
do we know how these seasons change?

Seasons happen and change every year. This happens because the earth tilts
back and forth as it goes around the sun. During the summer, the earth tilts
toward the sun. It makes half of the earth hotter. this condition is what we call
summer. During the other half of the year, the earth tilts away from the sun.
As a result, it makes that half of the earth cooler. This cool condition is then
what we call winter.

The different parts of the world have the same season at different times. In the
northern half of the world , winter happens during the months of December,
January and February. The regions are such North America and Europe. In the
other hand, the southern half of the world have winter during the months of
June, July and August.The regions are like South America and Australia. How
does this difference happen? The same season happens at different times
because the top and bottom halves of the earth tilt away from the sun at
different times.
 How chocolate is made
Have we wondered how we get chocolate from? Well this time we will enter
the amazing world of chocolate so we can understand exactly we are eating.

Chocolate starts a tree called cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions,
especially in place such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree
produces a fruit about the size of a small pine apple. In side the fruits are the
tree's seeds. They are also known as coco beans.

Next, the beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun. After that
they are shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts by
roasting the beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans from different
places have different qualities and flavour. So they are often shorted and
blended to produce a distinctive mix.

The next process is winnowing. The roasted beans are winnowed to remove
the meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then the nibs are blended. The
blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called chocolate
liquor. It tastes bitter.

All seeds contain some amount of fat and cacao beans are not different.
However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground nibs from liquid. It
is pure bitter chocolate.
 How Does a Kite Fly?

A kite is an object which is made from a light material stretched over a frame.
Due to its light material a kite will lift off the ground and fly when it is tilted
into the wind.

To fly, a kite is uses wind to make it fly because it is heavier than air. When
wind travels over the surface of the kite, it is split into two streams of air. One
stream of the air goes over the kite while the second stream goes under the
kite. The upper stream creates an area of low pressure above the kite. The
lower stream hits the kite at a shallow angle and creates an area of high
pressure. The high pressure area has a pushing effect while the low pressure
area has a pulling effect.

The combination of push and pull can creates enough force to lift the kite into
the air.
 Why Eiffel Tower was Built?

If we talk about the Wonders of the World buildings, then we will see Eiffel
Tower as one of them. However many of us do not know the tower’s past
history on why it was build. Everything has the reasonable background,
especially for the tower which is to be one of the most recognized buildings in
the world.

Primarily, the Eiffel Tower was built for the World Exhibition. It was called Paris
Exposition in 1889. The exhibition was organized to celebrate the 100th
anniversary of the French Revolution. The purpose of building Eiffel Tower in
such structure was to show to the world France’s advancement of technology
and beauty. The Eiffel Tower was designed by Gustave Eiffel. It seemed that
then the name of the tower was derived from the designer’s last name, “Eiffel”

Another reason on why the tower was built was for scientific progress.
Although few realized it, the Eiffel Tower would become the prominent
structure in terms of science and technology. Many experiment with
temperature, pressure and pendulums were performed atop the unique
famous building. Additionally the Eiffel Tower was used for radio transmission
tower. Many experiments were conducted atop the Eiffel Tower for radio
transmission advancement.

Once the Eiffel Tower was proposed to be demolished but it was spared
because the tower had the promising future as a radio tower.
 Why Seawater is Salty?

Most of our planet’s surface is covered in water – salt water. The oceans that
support so much of Earth’s life are around 3.5% sodium chloride – 50 million
billion tonnes of salt.

But where does it come from? While some of it comes from volcanic vents or
rocks on the seabed, most of it is actually from the land around us. Every time
it rains, tiny amounts of mineral salts are washed into rivers, which eventually
flow into the sea.

The salt in rivers is less than 1/200th the amount usually found in seawater. It
becomes more concentrated in the ocean, as the Sun’s heat causes water from
the surface to evaporate, leaving the salt behind. Extra salt added every year
from rivers is balanced by salt which returns to the sea floor.

But salinity isn’t the same everywhere. Towards the poles, water is not as salty
because it’s diluted by melting ice, while the extra heat in the tropics makes
water there saltier – and denser.
 Bagaimana Layang-layang Terbang?

Layang-layang adalah sebuah benda yang terbuat dari bahan ringan yang
membentang di atas sebuah bingkai. Karena ringanya bahan, layang-layang
akan terangkat dari tanah dan terbang ketika dihadapkan dengan angin.

Layang-layang menggunakan angin untuk membuatnya terbang. Ketika angin

bergerak di atas permukaan layang-layang, angin tersebut terbagi menjadi dua
aliran udara. Satu aliran udara bergerak di atas layang-layang sementara aliran
kedua bergerak di bawah layang-layang. Aliran angin yang bergerak ke atas
membuat sebuah area di layang-layang dengan tekanan rendah. Aliran udara
yang bergerak ke bawah membentur layang-layang di sudut permukaan dan
menciptakan daerah dengan tekanan tinggi. Daerah tekanan tinggi memiliki
efek mendorong sementara daerah tekanan tekanan rendah memiliki efek
menarik.

Kombinasi efek dorogan dan tarikan tersebut dapat menciptakan kekuatan

yang cukup untuk mengangkat layang-layang ke udara.
