Explanation Text

This document defines explanation text and provides an example explaining tornadoes. Explanation text aims to describe how and why natural, social, scientific, and cultural phenomena occur. It generally includes a general statement about the phenomenon followed by a sequenced explanation of the steps. The example text describes different types of tornadoes like multi-vortex and satellite tornadoes. It then explains the sequence of how tornadoes form, from warm moist air rising and colliding with cold dry air to form a vortex from the cloud to the ground.

DEFINITION OF EXPLANATION TEXT
Explanation is a text which tells processes
relating to forming of natural, social, scientific
and cultural phenomena. Explanation text is
to say ‘why’ and ‘how’ of the forming of the
phenomena. It is often found in science,
geography and history text books.
GENERIC STRUCTURE

General statement: stating the


phenomenon issues which are to be
explained.
Sequenced explanation:stating a
series of steps which explain the phenomena.
LANGUAGE FEATURES

– Featuring generic participant; sun, rain, etc


– Using chronological connection; to begin with, next, etc
– Using passive voice pattern
– Using simple present tense
EXPLANATION TEXT ABOUT

TORNADOES
Tornado
Tornado is a fast rotating column of air that forms
the relationship between a cumulonimbus cloud or in
the rare event of a cumulus cloud base to the ground.
Tornadoes come in many sizes but are typically in the
form a visible condensation funnel, whose narrow end
touches the earth and is often surrounded by a cloud of
debris.
Types of Tornado
Multi-vortex tornado
Multi-vortex tornado is a type of tornado in which two
or more columns of air which clot rotating around the
center. Multi-vortex structure can occur in almost any
circulation, but it is often observed in the devastating
tornado.
Satellite tornado
Satellite tornado is a term for a weak tornado formed
near large powerful tornado that occurrs in the same
mesosiklon. Satellite tornado appears on the “orbit” of
massive tornado (as the name implies), which shows a
form of multi-vortex. However, a satellite tornado is a
distinct funnel, and is smaller than the main funnel.
Tornado
Tornado is officially described briefly by the US National Weather
Service as a tornado that crosses the waters. However, researchers
generally characterize waterspout “the weather is” derived from the
tornado tornado. Tornado weather is a little destroyer but it is far more
common and has a dynamic similar to dust devils and landspout. They
are formed as the rows of towering cumulus clouds congestus in tropical
and semitropical waters. These winds have relatively weak winds,
smooth-coated walls, and generally drove very slowly
SEQUENCES of
EXPLANATION
The air layer change is the trigger birth of
Tornado in this case if a layer of cold air is
above a layer of hot air, hot air rises at a
speed of around 300 km / h, air infiltrating
from the side which causes the swirling wind
to form a tornado, and when it is perfect
then a tornado can have speeds up to 400
Km / h and the width of the chimney
between 15-365 meters. See the pictures
below
Tornadoes are among the most violent
storms on Earth with the potential to cause
very serious damage
The storm quickly developed – with rain,
thunder and lightning. When the soil
temperature increases, hot and humid air
starts to rise.
When the temperature is warm, moist air
meets cold dry air, it lifted up, enter the
upper air layer. A thunder cloud began to
be created in this phase.
Air movement upwards very quickly. The
wind from the side leads in different
directions and forms a vortex.
A cone of air is twisting round that results in
starting to form and looks from the cloud to
the ground.
Vortex winds is vary in size and shape, and can be reaching hundreds of meters wide. Tornadoes can last
from a few seconds to more than an hour and may move up to miles and miles away to leave damage.
As with the earthquake that can be calculated the magnitude of its passing scale Mercalli and Skala
Richter, Tornado can also be calculated but based on the level of damage it, because his speed is
relatively difficult to count, Level Tornado counted by using a scale Fujita.
