Some places have more pollution because there are more cars π, factories π, and people there! When cars and factories make smoke, it goes into the air and makes it dirty. π«οΈ
Also, sometimes people throw trash on the ground instead of putting it in the bin. That makes the ground dirty too! ποΈ
Some people live in igloos because they live in very cold places like the Arctic! π₯Ά Igloos are made of snow and ice, which keeps them warm inside. It's like a cozy snow house! π βοΈ
People who live in igloos are called Inuit. They are very smart and know how to build strong igloos to stay safe from the cold wind.
Some people live in boats because they love the water! π Boats can be like tiny floating houses. They can move around and see new places every day. It's like having a home that can travel on the sea or a river!
Living on a boat is fun because you can see fish π and waves every morning. Some people also live on boats to be close to nature and enjoy the calm water.
Some places have more sunlight because of where they are on Earth! π The Earth is round and tilts a little, so some parts get more sun than others. Places near the middle (like the equator) get lots of sun all year round! βοΈ
Other places, like the North and South Poles, get less sun because they are far from the middle. Sometimes, they even have days with no sun at all! βοΈ
Geysers are like nature's water fountains! π They shoot hot water and steam high into the air. Here's how they work:
1. Underground water gets very hot from rocks deep inside the Earth. π₯
2. The hot water turns into steam, which pushes up through cracks in the ground.
3. When the steam and water can't stay underground anymore... WHOOSH! They burst out in a big, exciting spray!
π Polar day is when the sun doesn't go to bed at all! It stays up in the sky for many days or even months! This happens in places very far north or south, like where Santa Claus lives! π
π Polar night is the oppositeβthe sun takes a long nap, and it's dark for many days or months. Brrr, that sounds cold! βοΈ
This happens because the Earth tilts like a spinning top, and some places get extra sun or extra darkness.
Electricity is like magic power that makes lights shine and toys work! β‘ It comes from big machines called power plants. Some power plants burn coal or gas to make heat, and that heat turns water into steam. The steam spins a big wheel called a turbine, and that makes electricity!
Other power plants use wind or sunlight to make electricity. Wind spins big fans (wind turbines), and sunlight is caught by special panels (solar panels).
White nights are when it stays light outside even at night! π It happens in places near the North and South Poles. The sun doesnβt go down completely, so itβs never really dark.
Imagine playing outside at bedtime, and itβs still sunny! Thatβs what white nights are like. Some people even have parties because itβs so special!
π The Earth looks flat because it's so big! Imagine standing on a huge ballβit would feel flat under your feet. That's what happens with Earth! π
When you look around, you can't see the curve because the Earth is much bigger than you. It's like being a tiny ant on a big beach ballβyou can't see the whole ball at once!
Long, long ago, people thought the Earth was flat like a pancake π₯. But smart people noticed that when ships sailed far away, they slowly disappeared from the bottom up! If the Earth was flat, the ships would just get smaller and smaller, but they don't! π
Also, when there's an eclipse (when the Moon covers the Sun), the shadow on the Moon is round. That's another clue that the Earth is round like a ball! π
