For 3 weeks we have been learning about weather. We had to make an information report about a weather feature of our choice. The weather feature I chosen was thunderstorms. We needed to do 6 to 10 paragraphs. Today was the last day to finish it. Please give me some feedback and I will use it.
Thunderstorms
One of the deadliest weather features ever is the thunderstorms. Thunderstorms can make powerlines fall and if power lines fall that means you won’t have any power.
Thunderstorms are most likely to happen in the spring and summer months and during the afternoon and evening hours. There about 10,000 thunderstorms in the world each day
Air is a very poor conductor of electricity and gets extremely hot when lightning passes through it. In fact, lightning can heat the air it passes through to 50,000 degrees celsius that 5 times hotter than the surface of the sun. Lightning can get to 30,000 kelvins which is 29726.85 in celsius.
There are about 16 million thunderstorms a year, and at any moment there are about 2,000 thunderstorms right now. There are about 100,000 each year in the U.S alone About 10% of these reach severe levels.
A thunderstorm is a storm with lightning and thunder. It's made by a cumulonimbus cloud, usually producing gusty winds, heavy rain and sometimes hail. The basic ingredients used to make a thunderstorm are moisture, unstable air and lift. You need moisture to form clouds and rain.
You know that thunder is only a sound but do you know how it is caused. Thunder is caused by lightning. When a lightning bolt travels from the cloud to the ground it opens up a little hole in the air, called a channel. Once the light is gone the air collapses back in and creates a sound wave that we hear as thunder.
I like thunderstorms because I can watch them outside threw the window. My favourite thing about thunderstorms is the colour of the sky when all of the blue sky get taken over by the black and grey storm clouds.
Hope you learned something from my information report. Please read my story and leave some feedback and I will probably use that feedback in a different information report
