Question

Hailstones

Hailstones are bundles of layered ice that form in air that is rising with in thunderstorms, known as updraughts. The formation of hailstones starts when the water vapour turns into little water droplets in the updraught. The temperatures around the top of the thunderstorm clouds are usually around - 50 to - 60 °, including in summer. When the droplets are swept into this area and encounter substances like a dot of dust or dirt, they freeze into small lumps of ice, which are called 'hail embryos'.
 
When these small lumps enter the 'hail growth zone', in which the air temperature is a round - 10 to -25 o c, they became fully developed hails. These embryos freeze when they bump into chilled water droplets. The more impacts they receive, the bigger their sizes are. Once they are heavy enoug h to be pulled down by gravity, they beg in to fall.

It is possible for hailstones to occur at a ny time of the year. However, in Australia, hailstones usually occur during spring and early summer due to the temperature d ifference. During that time, temperatures are warm enough to stimulate the occurrence of thunderstorms, and the upper atmosphere's temperature is cold enough to encourage the formation of stronger storms.

The size of the hailstones is determined by the strength and size of the updraught. Hailstones are usually smaller than 25 mm. Nevertheless, it is also possible that the hailstones resemble the size of golf-b a l l s or cricket b a l l s in an intense thunderstorm. It may happen due to the updraught's rapid air movement.

Hailstones can be destructive to some degree. The most destructive hailstorm in Australia occurred in Sydney on 14 April 1999. Thousands of houses and cars were badly damaged. The cricket b a l l sized hailstones hit the city at a speed of 200 km/h. The hailstones also affected the area of the southeast suburbs of Kensington, Kingsford, Botany, Mascot, Randwick, and Paddington.

Halo Okedia O, kakak bantu jawab ya.

Jawaban untuk soal di atas adalah "The areas badly affected by the Australia's hailstorm were Sydney and the southeast suburbs."

Soal ini menanyakan dimana daerah yang paling parah terkena dampak badai es Australia.

Pada paragraf terakhir disebutkan "The most destructive hailstorm in Australia occurred in Sydney on 14 April 1999", yang artinya "Badai es paling merusak di Australia terjadi di Sidney pada 14 April 1999."

Kemudian terdapat kalimat "The hailstones also affected the area of the southeast suburbs of Kensington, Kingsford, Botany, Mascot, Randwick, and Paddington", yang artinya "Hujan es juga mempengaruhi daerah pinggiran tenggara Kensington, Kingsford, Botany, Maskot, Randwick, dan Paddington."

Berdasarkan kalimat tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa daerah yang paling parah terkena dampak badai es Australia adalah Sidney dan daerah pinggiran tenggara.

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah "The areas badly affected by the Australia's hailstorm were Sydney and the southeast suburbs."

Semoga membantu ya.
