Snow

Snow is...

Snow

Snow is a piece of ice crystals and soft white that falls from the clouds. Snow usually found in north and south poles. In addition, snow can be found in the region that enjoys four distinct seasons. Exactly when winter arrives. Although it was hard snow occurs in tropical areas, but snow can be found in high places like the top of the mountain. Examples are found in the snow in Puncak Jaya Wijaya (Papua, Indonesia). Such snow is usually called the eternal snow.
Indirect snow falling from clouds in the form of pieces of pieces of ice crystals. But the form of drops of pure water drops that have not been contaminated by other particles (impurities), which spread through the air. Then, under the cloud temperature is lower than 0 degrees Celsius, freezing drops of water drops. Of course, the freezing process is accelerated by the particles of impurities called "nukleator". Without nukleator, drops of water drops are not going to be a piece of snow crystal pieces. If the air temperature is able to keep the ice remains frozen, the pieces of the snowflakes will fall to earth and there was heavy snow. If lower, sometimes pieces of snowflakes can form small balls of ice balls. And there was hail. But if the crystals of snow crystals through a very hot temperature, the crystal and the crystal will melt down to earth in the form of water (rain). Not infrequently, the rain event began with the formation of snow.

Very Unique

The shape and structure of snow crystals are very unique pieces. Not a single snowflake has the same structure. Everything was different. In fact, snow is a natural phenomenon that occurred since the time of formation of the earth. Although different, all have the ability to reflect light in all directions. Therefore, when there is snow and snow-covered surface of the earth, then only white where visible everywhere. As if the earth is white and shiny.

Tornado

A tornado is a funnel-shaped wind vortex that formed in or on the cloud base and extends cumullusnimbus like proboscis to touch the ground. At the end surrounded by dust, water, or debris (depending on where the tornado formed) that come round. Color is affected by the tornado formation. For example, if a tornado is formed in the desert region is a golden brown color and the edges surrounded by dust and sand.
The word tornado taken from the Spanish "tronada" which means lightning storm. Another version says the word tornado comes from the Latin "tronare" which means to turn. There is also a saying that the word tornado comes from a combination of both. Meanwhile, another term for a tornado is "twister".
Very large pressure difference in the areas of local scale occurred under or near the cumullusnimbus cloud causes the formation of a tornado. In the process often begins with the appearance of funnel-shaped cloud vortex (funnel cloud). This causes a funnel cloud is often regarded as a tornado. Funnel cloud is a manifestation of the condensation funnel, without any wind on the surface. While a tornado is a vortex of strong winds. Water vapor that condenses causing a tornado funnel cloud looks like.
Tornadoes frequently reported appear to form a single vortex. Besides being a single vortex, a tornado also appeared with the same two large whirlpool better known as the twin vortex tornado. Sometimes, also comes with a large whirlpool surrounded by 2 (or even more) smaller vortex. Small vortex tornado is called a satellite.
With the wind swirling speed between 40 mph to 110 mph and range up to 250 feet (of about 75 m), is clearly damaging tornadoes. Moreover, a tornado can move up to miles and miles away. Whatever its path would be damaged and destroyed. Several tornadoes have some turbulence speeds up to 300 mph, range up to 4 km, and moved up to 219 miles. Scientists classify tornadoes based on damage caused. There are 3 types of scale used to classify tornadoes. There Fujita Scale (F) and Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF) made by Dr. T. Theodore Fujita. Scale for the weakest tornadoes are F0 and EF0, while for the strongest tornado F5 and EF5. Weakest tornado can damage trees, whereas the strongest can destroy homes and even permanent damage to a skyscraper. Similar scale is the Torro Scale with a longer range. T0 to T11 tornadoes for the weakest and the strongest tornadoes. Torro scale created by the Tornado and Storm Research Organization.
Tornadoes can occur anywhere except in Antarctica. Greatest frequency is in Tornado Alley, United States. While the smallest frequency in the tropics.

Waterspout

Waterspout is a tornado is relatively small. Usually formed in water. Twister speed between 60 to 90 km / h and lasted for 5 to 10 minutes. Though formed in the water, waterspout could move up to the land and destroy everything in its path. Waterspout usually accompanied by a fairly heavy rain. In fact, often accompanied by ice. This phenomenon often occurs in tropical regions.

Valentine's Day

My inside all turn to ash (so slow)
And blew away as I collapse (so cold)
A black wind took them away (from sight)
And held the darkness overday (that night)

And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
But heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

I used to be my own protection (but not now)
Cause my path had lost direction (some how)
A black wind took you away (from sight)
And held the darkness overday (that night)

And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
And the ground below grew colder
As they put you down inside
But heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

So now you're gone
And I was wrong
I never knew what it was like
To be alone...

On the Valentine's Day

Opening and Closing Notes

Time passed. No one can stopped it. Nothing seemed, finally arrived at the end of 2009. All of you have experienced in the 2009 has been stored and recorded in memory and notes, along with the memory and notes of the years before. So what was the most memorable thing for you in the 2009 ? Or do you like in general from the year 2008 ? Is there something can be in the year 2009 ?
Calm down for a moment, let yor body and mind relaxed. Do not engaged in activities that are less useful for a while. Because at the end of this year is a good time to reflect, remember, and rethinking everything we have done, naturally, and gain in 2009. We have our own self-correting-each and take advantage of everything that happens. Especially every mistake we make and the failures that we experience. Then, we prepare a plan for 2010 to live with ripefor the past mistake are not repeated in 2010. With this we can look in 2010 with great joy, hope, enthusiasme, and optimism.
Tomorrow should be better than yesterday.

Happy New year 2010

Lightning

Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity accompanied by thunder, which typically occurs during thunderstorms, and sometimes during volcanic eruptions or dust storms.In the atmospheric electrical discharge, a leader of a bolt of lightning can travel at speeds of 60,000 m/s (130,000 mph), and can reach temperatures approaching 30,000 °C (54,000 °F), hot enough to fuse silica sand into glass channels known as fulgurites which are normally hollow and can extend some distance into the ground. There are some 16 million lightning storms in the world every year. Lightning can also occur within the ash clouds from volcanic eruptions, or can be caused by violent forest fires which generate sufficient dust to create a static charge.

How lightning initially forms is still a matter of debate: Scientists have studied root causes ranging from atmospheric perturbations (wind, humidity, friction, and atmospheric pressure) to the impact of solar wind and accumulation of charged solar particles.Ice inside a cloud is thought to be a key element in lightning development, and may cause a forcible separation of positive and negative charges within the cloud, thus assisting in the formation of lightning. The fear of lightning (and thunder) is astraphobia.
