Have you ever wondered why the moon is shiny at night in the dark sky?
I'm going to explain how the moon shines at night. The sunlight from the sun hits the moon. Then the moon reflects the sunlight back to earth. The moon is like a shiny mirror in the sky.

How A Tsunami is Formed.
A tsunami creates lots and lots of damage.
An earthquake is caused by large plates underground which smash together to make a massive earthquake. The pressure from the earthquake forms teeny waves in the deep ocean. Soon as the tsunami gets close to shore it forms a large wave.
An amazing fact is that a tsunami can move a thousand kilometres a hour.
A tsunami creates extensive damage to towns and cities,

How Meteors Are Form?
Meteors start as small pieces of dust, ice and rock that are called meteoroids . Meteoroids are found in a tail of a comet.
As the comet passes by the sun, the sun begins to melt the comet. Pieces of rock shatter and left floating in space.
As Earth's travels around the sun , meteoriods go into the path of Earth. Some meteoriods are pulled closer to Earth because of the Earth's gravity. As meteoriods enter through Earth's atmosphere they are called "meteors'. When meteoriods start to fall through the Earth's atmosphere they start to become burning hot. Soon they will get so hot they start to glow and burn.
Sometimes meteors are mistaken for shooting stars .

Explanation -How Are Meteors Made?

Meteors begin as little chunks of rock and dust they are called Meteroids. These fragments of dust and rock are mostly located in a tail of a comet. When a comet zooms by the sun, the heat from the sun begins to melt the comet. Pieces of rocks breaks down and depart from the comet. These left over portions of rocks float in space, as the comet speeds on.
As Earth orbits the sun, Earth journeys by many meteoroids. Most of meteoroids are pulled closer to Earth because of the Earth's gravity. As meteoroids begin to travel through the Earth's atmosphere they become very, very hot. They are so hot they burn up and glow. Meteors are mostly mistaken for a shooting stars. However shooting stars are meteoroids that hit Earth's Atmosphere and burn up and glow.
How Meteors Are Formed

Meteors begin in small chunks of rock and dust,they are called Meteoroids.These fragments are sometimes found in the long tail of a comet.As the comet goes by the Sun,the warmth from the Sun melts the comet.Chunks of rock shatter and they are left in space.These rocks are called Meteoroids.
These left over chunks of rocks float in space.As the Earth spins around the Sun,it passes through paths of Meteoroids.Some of the Meteoroids are pulled towards Earth because of Earth's gravity.As the Meteoroids enter Earths atmosphere they are called ''Meteors''.As meteors begin to pass through Earth's atmosphere they became hot and glow. Some meteors can be mistaken for the shooting stars. Shooting Stars are actually Meteors.

As earth spins around the sun it passes through many paths of meteoroids. Some meteoroids are pulled closer because Earth's gravity, as the meterorids shoots through Earth's atmosphere the meteoroids begin to become very hot. The meteoroids are so hot they begin to burn and glow. Some people see shooting stars but they are actually meteors passing through our atmosphere.

How Tornadoes are formed -Explanation Writing

A tornado causes a lot of damage. Tornadoes are formed in thunder clouds. Within the thunder clouds air hurls against each each other, forming a funnel . When the funnel touches the ground the funnel sucks up dirt , dust and every thing else into it's centre this makes the funnel darker. Tornadoes can travel at 500 kilometers per hour.Funnels can be over 100 meters in height. Tornadoes can last up to five minutes to five hours. Scientists do not no why tornadoes stop.
How are tornadoes formed- Explanation Writing
Most people don't know how tornadoes start. Tornadoes start in thunder clouds.Air within the clouds starts spinning really fast causing a funnel . When a funnel touches the ground the tornadoes turn dark because it sucks up dirt , dust and everything else high into the sky. Tornadoes are known to be hundreds of metres high . Tornadoes can last from fifteen minutes up to five hours . Scientists do not know how the funnels of tornadoes stop.
How Tornadoes are formed -Explanation Writing
Tornadoes scare people and can cause lots of serious damage.
A tornado starts in thunder clouds they form in warm moist air. When the wind hurls into each other from different directions the air begins to form into a funnel. Then the funnel touches the ground and sucks dirt and dust causing the funnel darken. Tornadoes can be hundreds of metres high and can speed around at 500km per hour. Tornadoes can last for fifteen minutes to five hours. Scientists do not know how funnels of tornadoes stop. Although tornadoes are dangerous we are learning more about them.
