If concluded, explanatory text is a type of English text that contains about how or why something happened. Generally, this type of text describes the process of something happening.

Characteristics of Explanation Text The following are the characteristics of explanation text. 

1. Using the Simple Present Tense The use of the simple present tense is because the explanation text contains the facts of an event or action. 

2. Using Passive Voice In an explanation text there must be a passive voice sentence. Why? because this text aims to explain an event or action (object) rather than the subject. 

3. Using Chronological Connectors Almost all text uses chronological connectors. Examples of chronological connectors: first Second After that Next Then Finally etc.

Closing (Conclusion): A paragraph that summarizes the entire content of the text. This section is optional, you can use it or not.

How a Tsunami Happens?

General:

We all know that tsunamis are a series of powerful and destructive waves. Tsunami is the deadliest wave because the wave speed is incredibly fast. But do you know how a tsunami happens?

Explanation:

Tsunami originated from Japan, “tsu’ meaning harbor and “nami” meaning wave. They are normally caused by earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions in, or close to an ocean. After some sort of underwater disturbance, this causes energy to rise up to sea level pushing the water high into the air. Gravity kicks in and pulls it down again and then consequently causing the water to filter out into many different directions.

When a tsunami begins to approach the shore the energy in the wave is compressed. As a result, the water is pushed up into the wave, resulting in a powerful tsunami. If the trough hits the shoreline first, it then causes the tide to drastically retreat.

Conclusion:

So, tsunamis happen because of natural disasters such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. People who live near the shoreline have to be careful because they are threatened by tsunamis whenever there is an earthquake.

  Teks Explanation  Acid rain is rain that is highly acidic because of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other air pollutants dissolved in it. Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of 6. Acid rain may have a pH value as low as 2.8. Acid rain can severely damage both plant and animal life. Certain lakes, for example, have lost all fish and plant life because of acid rain. Acid rain comes from sulfur in coal and oil. When they burn, they make sulfur dioxide (SO2 ). Most sulfur leaves factory chimneys as the gaseous sulfur dioxide (SO2 ) and most nitrogen are also emitted as one of the nitrogen oxides (NO or NO2 ), both of which are gasses. The gasses may be dry deposited–absorbed directly by the land, by lakes or by the surface vegetation. If they are in the atmosphere for anytime, the gasses will oxidize (gain an oxygen atom) and go into solution as acids. Sulphuric acid (H2 SO4 ) and the nitrogen oxides will become nitric acid (HNO3 ). The acids usually dissolve in cloud...
