Teks Report Aurora

Jangan lupa membaca artikel tentang bisnis di > Informasi bisnis terbaik.

An aurora is a natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions, caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere (thermosphere). The charged particles originate in the magnetosphere and solar wind are directed by the Earth`s magnetic field into the atmosphere. Most auroras occur in a band known as the aurora zone which is typically 3 to 6 in latitudinal extent and at all local times or longitudes.

Aurora is classified as diffuse or discrete aurora. The diffuse aurora is a featureless glow in the sky which may not be visible to the naked eye even in a dark night and defines the extent of the aurora zone. Discrete aurorae are sharply defined feature within the diffuse aurora which vary in brightness from just barely visible to the naked eye to bright enough to read a newspaper at night .Discrete aurorae are usually observed only in the night sky because they are not as bright as the sunlit sky .

In northern latitudes ,the effect is known as the aurora borealis (or the northern lights ),named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora , and the Greek name for the north wind ,Boreas ,by Pierre Gassendi in 1621.Its southern counterpart , the aurora australis (or the south lights), has almost identical features to the aurora borealis and changes simultaneously with the changes in the northern auroral zone and is visible from high southern latitudes in Antarctica , South America and Australia.

Teks Report Natural Disaster

Jangan lupa membaca artikel tentang bisnis di > Informasi bisnis terbaik.

A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It usually causes great suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured or died. Some people are homeless and need medical care.

Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour onto the surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a brief can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding land is flat and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood adjacent lowland.

In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away by water pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.

When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the pumps were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from to hand to be poured on the flames.

The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks and neighborhoods before being controlled.
