A drought begins with a disruption to the
water cycle, lhe circulation of water lrom tha
EeÛh's atmosphère to ils surface. Sometimes
this disruption happens naturally, such as
during a heat wave. Most droughts are
temporàry, and can occur in all climates. Some
climateü are permanenlly dry, or arid, such as
deserts.
A drought is a shortage of precipitation
over a peûod of time. Droughts get worse when
rivers and straams dry up, leaving people
without water to drink and to grow food.
Droughts should lfalls
little precipitation ot beyearconfused
round. Awith arid
drought
happens when a specific geographic region
receives much tess precipitation than normal.
Conditions that are thought to be drought-like in
North America might not considered drought-
like in Africa or parts of Australia. In arid
climates,
people have developed ways of surviving with
very lit\Ie water. They also conserve what li\\Ie
water they have.

Tomadoes are among the most violent
storms on eanh, with the potential to cause
very serious damage.
Although no two tornadoes are the same,
they need certain conditions to form — particularly
intense or unseasonable heat. As the ground
temperature increases, moist air heats and
starts to rise when the warm, moist air meets
cold dry air, it explodes upwards, puncturing the
layer above. A”thundercloud may begin to

movement of air can become very rapid. Winds
from diflerent directions cause it to rotate. A

The following is how rain is formed. The air
is filled with tiny particles known as vapour.
Vapour is actually the gaseous form of waler.
The air around us is constantly moving because
the air near the surface of the Earlh is
hotter and lighter. This is why this air rises.
The air higher up in the sky is cold and
heavy, so it sinks. The rising of air and the
sinking of cold water cause the air to move.
When the hot of air rises to a certain level,
the vapour presents in it, cools and changes to
water. This is known as condensation. When
the water particles are too heavy for the air to
carry, the air is said to be oversaturated. The
water particles then lall as rain.
