What Causes Weather ?

Weather is the physical condition of the atmosphere at a particular time. It includes

temperature, air pressure and water content.
Weather is produced when air moves from place to place. This moving air is known as wind.
Winds are formed when the cooler air moves in to replace the rising warm air. Warm air is
usually less dense and creates high pressure.
Usually we have fine weather when the air pressure is high and there are clouds, rain and snow
when the air pressure drops.

There are several positive and negative Impacts of the internet on education. One of the
positive impacts of the internet on education is that when you are curious about something, you
can find out the information you need immediately from the internet to satisfy your “hunger for
learning”. If you are curious about the ants in your backyard, or if you want to know more about
 dinosaurs or any other prehistoric animals, there is an abundance of information at your
fingertips and you can improve your knowledge.
On the other hand, some would argue that the internet degrades the quality of research,
throwing people into areas where the answers they find are low-quality guesses, at best. Since
the internet allows anyone to publish any kind of information, finding high quality information is
sometimes difficult. The internet can also be huge distraction, like many other things that distract
us from serious research.

The water cycle is the never-ending movement of the earth’s water. Water goes from the
ocean to the air, to the land and back to the ocean again. For that reason, its movement is
called a cycle.
This cycle begins when heat from the sun turns ocean water into water vapor. Water vapor
is water that has become a gas. The water vapour rises high into the sky, where it cools off. The
cooled water vapour changes into tiny drops of water. The drops are held up in the sky by rising
warm air. When billions of these drops of water cluster together they from a cloud.
 The water in the clouds eventually falls to earth as rain. If the water vapor is cold enough, it
turns into ice and falls as snow. Most rain and snow falls into the ocean, but some falls on land.
In time, this water also flows back to the ocean, but to the ocean and the cycle stars again.
