MISS DROPLET:THE WEATHER FABLE

In the following pages our "meteorological" friend Miss Droplet helps us to discover and understand the natural phenomena commonly called the "weather".





Even though our planet is called "earth", almost all of its surface is covered by water.










We know that air exists, but we cannot touch, see or feel it. Without air airplanes couldn't fly, parachutes wouldn't open.... Thanks to air our small paper airplanes can also fly!!!!!!





In any case, life begins in water. During the first nine months of our lives we could swim like "fish" inside our mother's womb.





When the heat from the sun reaches the seas, lakes and rivers, water is evaporated and condensed into tiny droplets. These droplets combine and become clouds and then divide into groups of different sizes and shapes. When these cloud droplets hit against colder air they begin to combine into larger drops and become heavier than air, which causes them to fall or rain down upon us. Rain is commonly coupled with wind, which is simply air that is in motion and which moves seeds and clouds, and changes the weather.





Wind gives voices to things such as to the rustling trees. In the beginning wind is clear natural energy, free of charges.








But the air is continuously in movement, the lowest air particles try to climb, the highest cold air tries to descend. When different air types such as a cold air mass hits against a warm air mass, rain clouds with electricity form. Next you get storms and the resulting lightning and thunder. Water continues to transform itself yet; into the clouds, the fog, your breath, water vapour, and into ice with very cold weather.






Air is composed of water vapor and other gases. The most important gas is oxygen which we must have to breath. Nitrogen, the ozone and carbon dioxide are also vital for earth life.









To live better we have to keep our wonderful little planet clean. We must preserve the world in which we live, breath and play and we must respect nature.
