Explanation Text

Hallo everyone welcome back to my blog. How are you guys? I hope you are in good condition and take care of your health. I want to share my learning this time about "Explanation Text" which was taught by Ms. Fatma. Let's read to the end.

What is Explanation Text

1. Definition :

Explanation text is a text that explains about a procces or saquence of phenomena there are 2 types of explanation text : sequential and cause and effect 

2. Purpose :

An explanation text is written to explain how and why something (natural or vociocultural phenomena) in the world happen. The text contains the process or sequence of the phenomena. 

3. Generic Structure :

• Explanation : states a series of steps that explain the phenomenon.

4. Language Features : 

• Focusing generic 
• Using present tense
• Using chronological connectars
• Using passive voice

5. Example :

Lightning

Lightning is a bolt of electricity between the sky and the ground. A single bolt has enough power to light hundreds of lamps for a day. Lightning can strike people and even kill them. Lightning also starts hundreds of forest fires every year.

Inside the big dark thunderclouds on a stormy day are millions of tiny droplets of ice. These collide with each other all the time, creating an electric charge (a small amount of electricity). 

In no time, they could get filled up with charges.

Electric charges are neither positive nor negative. When negative charges from the bottom of the could and positive charges of the ground meat, a flash is seen. This flash is actually the path of the electrical charges. All this happens in a fraction of a second.

Lightning heats the air around it to temperatures up to 30,000 degrees Celcius. This is more than five times hotter than the surface of the Sun. When air is heated so quickly, it expands and contracts violently, much like a balloon bursting. The explosion is heard as thunder. Lightning and thunder happen at the same time, but why do we always see lightning first and hear thunder later? This is because light travels almost a million times faster than sound.
