Week 25: Under The Weather With The Weather
This week we
have been dealing with vocabulary related to the weather and I have chosen 2
news in which this vocabulary (highlighted) is used:
The first one is
from https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/powerful-storm-to-cross-us-this-week-with-snow-rain-high-winds-and-severe-weather/70007908
about a powerful storm to cross US this week with snow, rain, high winds and
severe weather:
A storm from the Pacific
Ocean will gain strength and threaten the heartland with high winds, severe thunderstorms and blizzard conditions as it
crosses the United States during the middle of this week. This potent storm is scheduled to
arrive in Northern California and southern Oregon early this week. As this storm crosses the country,
it will pack a punch in many areas with strong winds, but there will also be the potential for
heavy snow, severe thunderstorms and perhaps
even aggravated flooding
in some locations.
The second one
is from https://weather.com/news/news/2019-04-01-china-wildfire-sichuan-mountain-deaths about
a Lightning Sparked Wildfire That Kills 31 People in China:
Lighting
sparked a forest fire in mountainous western China last month that killed 27
fire fighters and four local helpers in one of the country's deadliest days for
first responders, investigators said. Acting on accounts of eyewitnesses in
Sichuan province's Muli county, investigators located an 18-meter pine tree
split by lightning
that they identified as the fire's
origin point. They said that after igniting the tree, the fire spread to the thick layer of decomposed plant
material on the ground
known as humus lying in a remote area at an altitude of around 3,800 meters. The 31 died after
wind, dry air and combustible material
creative an explosive effect. A surviving fire fighter said the fire advanced so quickly
that trees on the ridge were consumed within seconds, with flames rocketing up as if
"someone triggered a huge flamethrower."
On the other
hand, I have looked out 2 graphics about the amount of population in both Spain
and France in order to interpret and compare them. The graphics are quite easy
to interpret since we have the population, male and female, of Spain and France
in 2000; we can observe how old and how many people were. The difference
between them comes from how the information is given. The Spanish graphic show
the population in millions depending on how old they were and the French
graphic show the population in percentage. Here are the graphics:
