β›½ How is gasoline made?

Gasoline comes from deep underground! 🌍 It starts as crude oil, which is like a thick, black liquid. Big machines called oil rigs pump it out of the ground. Then, it goes to a refinery, where it is heated and turned into gasoline. πŸš—πŸ’¨

Finally, the gasoline goes to gas stations so cars can use it to move!

β›½ Where do oil and gas come from?

Oil and gas come from deep under the ground! 🌍 Long, long ago, tiny plants and animals lived in the sea. When they died, they sank to the bottom and got buried under sand and mud. Over millions of years, they turned into oil and gas! πŸ¦•βœ¨

Now, people dig deep wells to bring them up so we can use them for cars, heating, and making toys!

✨ Why can’t we see stars during the day?

During the day, the Sun 🌞 shines so brightly that its light fills the sky and makes it blue! The stars are still there, but the Sun's light is too strong, so we can't see them. It's like trying to see a tiny flashlight when someone turns on a big, bright lamp! 🌟

At night, when the Sun goes away, the stars become visible because the sky gets dark.

🌲 Why are fir trees green all year round?

Fir trees stay green all year because they have special leaves called needles! 🌲 These needles are tough and covered with a waxy coating, which helps them keep water inside even when it's cold or dry.

Unlike other trees that lose their leaves in winter, fir trees keep their needles for many years. That's why they always look green and happy! πŸŽ„

🌳 How is birch sap made?

Birch sap is like a special juice that comes from birch trees! 🌿 In spring, when it gets warmer, the trees wake up from their winter sleep. The roots drink water from the ground, and this water travels up the tree. People can collect this sweet water by making a tiny hole in the tree. It's like the tree is sharing its juice with us! 🍢

Remember, we must be gentle with trees and not take too much sap, or the tree might get sad. 😊

🌬️ Why does the wind blow?

The wind blows because the air likes to move around! 🌬️ When the sun warms up the Earth, some places get hotter than others. The warm air goes up, and the cool air rushes in to take its place. That's what makes the wind blow!

Imagine you have a balloon full of warm air. When you let it go, it flies up! The wind is like that, but all around us.
