Tsunamis are huge waves that sometimes hit land and harm nearby towns and people. Usually they begin with an earthquake under the sea. The ocean floor moves and changes shape due to the force of the earthquake. As a result, some of the water above the ocean floor gets suddenly pushed upward. A very strong earthquake can move a lot of water and is more likely to lead to a tsunami.

Farmers have many worries when growing their crops. Weeds can steal water, sunlight, and nutrients from crops. The crops can get sick with diseases, just like people. Sometimes dirt is blown away by the wind or washed away by rain. One way farmers fight these issues is with "cover crops." Farmers plant these special crops, but they don't harvest them. The right cover crops can hold dirt in place. They can also stop weeds from growing and even fight diseases. Cover crops help farmers keep their fields healthy.

You don't often see a goose flying by itself. The trouble is that it's hard work for a goose to fly alone. The wind pushes back against it as it flies. More commonly, you'll see a group of geese flying in the shape of a "V." When they do, the geese in front block some of the wind. This makes it easier for the geese flying behind. The geese take turns doing the hard work at the front of the "V." Using this plan, they are able to fly farther without getting as tired.

You've probably heard that water turns to ice at 32°F. Here's how it happens. Water, like everything, is made up of tiny molecules. When water gets colder, this makes the water molecules move more slowly. At 32°F, the molecules move very slowly. So, the molecules are able to lock onto one another. Because of this, the molecules form cold, hard ice. If the water gets warm again, the molecules will speed up again, and the ice will melt.

Which would you rather see, a big earthquake or a big snowstorm? Either one can harm people and buildings. One difference is that a snowstorm can be tracked. You'll probably be warned if a large snowstorm is on its way. An earthquake, on the other hand, is always a bit of a surprise. Big earthquakes don't happen very often, though. Snowstorms are more common, showing up every winter. In places where either event is likely, communities are usually well prepared.

Towns near the ocean must take steps to prepare for big storms. One danger they face is that water could get into homes during storms. To keep people safe, many towns have a rule that houses must be raised above the ground. New homes are built on stilts, or tall sticks or boards. Some houses are raised twenty feet above the sea. That's more than two stories! People living in these houses have to climb many stairs. But when storms come, they'll be happy to be high and dry.

If you like applesauce, why not try making your own? It's not hard, although it takes time. To start, cut up about eight fresh apples and take out the seeds. Next, put the apple pieces into a pot. You can add lemon juice, nutmeg, cinnamon, or sugar if you like. Then, heat the apples at low heat for about fifteen minutes. At the point when they are soft, stir the apples. Use a fork or potato masher until you have a smooth paste. Don't worry about a few lumps. Enjoy!

The United States Constitution divides the government into three branches. One branch is Congress, the group of people that passes laws. Another branch is made up of the courts. The most important court, the Supreme Court, can decide whether Congress's laws go against the Constitution. Finally, the president, vice president, and the cabinet make up the third branch. They make sure the laws get carried out.
