Trees help prevent flooding

When plants grow in an area, the roots of plants dig deep in to the soil and
create space between soil particles. When it rains in highlands, water that flows downhill
gets drained into the space created by the root system of plants. Due to this, chance of
flooding is greatly reduced. When plants are absent, especially in rocky areas, rocks
prevent water from seeping into the ground. This phenomenon is also observed in
paved roads. Since there is no room for water to seep, flooding occurs in nearby water
bodies. When a layer of water runs off a rocky surface, it reduces friction and the
following layers of water will run more freely as there is less friction. If more water is
dumped into rivers and lakes than they can handle, these water bodies tend to overflow
and the banks burst and cause flooding. If there are more trees in an area that is prone
to water runoffs, the root system of trees can create space between these rocks and
hence reduce the amount of water being dumped into lakes and rivers.

Questions

1. What particular part of the tree helps prevent flooding?

2. Where does the water in highlands flow when it rains?
3. How do trees in an area that is prone to water runoffs help in flooding?
4. Explain what is the purpose of the selection?

 Write About It
Exercise. Distinguish if the following selection aims to explain something. Write down 5
sentences from the selection that expresses explanations.

What is an earthquake?

An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another.
The surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane. The location below the earth’s
surface where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter, and the location directly above it
on the surface of the earth is called the epicenter.

Sometimes an earthquake has foreshocks. These are smaller earthquakes that happen in the
same place as the larger earthquake that follows. Scientists can’t tell that an earthquake is a
foreshock until the larger earthquake happens. The largest, main earthquake is called the main
shock. Main shocks always have aftershocks that follow. These are smaller earthquakes that
occur afterwards in the same place as the main shock. Depending on the size of the main
shock, aftershocks can continue for weeks, months, and even years after the main shock!
Talk About It
Distinguish if it is an explanation. Why?

Remember
Explanation is the kind of text- type that shows how things work and why things happen.
Day 3
Think and Tell

Observe the picture below.

Ask.
1. What can you say about the picture?
2. If you will do your assignment which between books or computer will you use? Why?
3. What are their similarities? Differences?
Find Out and Learn

Ask:
1. What is comparing? Contrasting?
2. What are the signal words that we used in comparing? In contrasting?

From online reference we gather the following information:

1. Comparing is citing the similarities and contrasting is citing the differences.

2. In comparison we use the signal words like; similar to, alike, same as, not only, but also,
as well as both.
3. In contrast we use the signal words; different from, however, although, on the other
hand, as opposed, to more than, less than.
Figure2. Study the pattern on writing a paragraph showing comparison and
contrast.

Base on the pattern let us write a paragraph about this illustration.

 Apples or Oranges

Apples and oranges are both fruits. They have similar shapes. Apples have
seeds as well as the oranges. They are not only sweet but also nutritious. They are both
growing from trees.

However, apples and oranges differ in their skin. Apples have thin, smooth

differ in color. Apples have red, green, yellow or even multi – colored on the other hand
oranges has only one color, orange. Not only that, apples are crispy but oranges are
pulpy.
