Tornadoes
I'd like to share some information about tornadoes with you. Tornadoes are quickly rotating columns of air that form within storms. These columns connect with the ground through a funnel-shaped cloud and can cause significant damage to both life and property. Despite extensive research, much remains unknown about how tornadoes form. The conditions that lead to one tornado may not necessarily cause another. Nonetheless, we have learned a great deal since people first began recording tornadoes, such as how to recognize the signs of an impending tornado. Would you like to learn more about them?

Volcano
In February of 1942, a Mexican farmer named Dionisio Pulido thought he heard thunder coming from his cornfield. However, the sound wasn’t coming from the sky, the source was a large, smoking crack that was emitting gas and ejecting rocks. This fissure would eventually become known as the Paricutin volcano, and over the next nine years, its lava and ash would cover over 200 square kilometers.

The Philippine History
The history of what is today the Philippines started with the arrival of its first humans. It is believed that they used rafts or boats around 60,000 years ago, with groups of diverse people settling in the archipelago. Some of these groups started to develop and expand into bigger settlements, and in the next thousands of years, they evolved into what some scholars believe to be considered early states. Austronesians and, afterwards, speakers of the Malayo-Polynesian languages began to arrive in successive waves beginning about 4000 BC. According to the existing evidence, a jade culture existed on these lands starting with the Neolithic era. By 1000 BC, it is believed that the inhabitants of the archipelago had developed into four distinct kinds of people: tribal groups, warrior societies, the petsy plutocracy, and the harbor civilizations.

The Sun's Dark Side:
Alex was an astronomer who had a passion for studying the sun. He had spent years observing and analyzing the solar activity, hoping to find clues about its origin and evolution. He was especially intrigued by the possibility that the sun had a twin star, a dark companion that lurked somewhere in the outer reaches of the solar system.

Stacking stones is a fun and visually appealing activity.
Stone stacking is a fun activity that looks cool. However, there is more to know about this pastime. Did you know that people in ancient times also stacked stones? They used them as a first foray into building structures. For instance, Mongolians used them in burial monuments, while in Tibet, they were used in ceremonies to summon good fortune and balance out contradicting energies. Additionally, people use them to mark their environment so that they don't get lost. Remember, back then, getting lost was probably easier since there were no phones to share locations.
