First, we saw a video about how different people are affected by the availability of water in different regions. Here is my feedbackabot that    The video vividly portrays a comparison between the living conditions on water poor and water rich countries. In the water rich country a boy wakes up and after breakfast, he fills his bottle; it can be seen how easily he can access to it, by just pressing a button.

Depending on its location and strength, a tropical cyclone is referred to by different names. They are: • Hurricanes: are composed over the North Atlantic Ocean and Northeast Pacific • Typhoons: are composed over the Northwest Pacific Ocean • Cyclones: are composed over the South Pacific and Indian Ocean Firstly, storms were given random names. But then, meteorologists decided to introduce a more organised and efficient system, taking names instead from a list arranged alphabetically. The original list had only women's names until 1979, when men's names were introduced. Actually, they alternate each year. Six lists are used in rotation, so the list for 2016 will be used again in 2022. Tropical cyclones are formed when warm and wet air rises, creating a low pressure zone. Ascending warm air ...
