How chocolate is made

Have we wondered how we get chocolate from? Well this time we will enter
the amazing world of chocolate so we can understand exactly we are eating.
Chocolate starts a tree called cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial
regions, especially in place such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The
cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a small pine apple. In side the
fruits are the trees seeds. They are also known as coco beans.
Next, the beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun. After that
they are shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts
processing by roasting the beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans
from different places have different qualities and flavour. So they are often
shorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix.
The next process is winnowing. The roasted beans are winnowed to remove
the meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then the nibs are blended. The
blended nibs are grounded to make it liquid. The liquid is called chocolate
liquor. It tastes bitter.
All seeds contain some amount of fat and cacao beans are not different.
However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why they ground nibs from liquid.
It is pure bitter chocolate.

How a kite flies

A kite is an object which is made from a light material stretched over a frame. Due to its
light material a kite will lift off the ground and fly when it is tilted into the wind.
A kite is uses wind to make it fly because it is heavier than air. When wind travels over
the surface of the kite, it is split into two streams of air. One stream of the air goes over
the kite while the second stream goes under the kite.
The upper stream creates an area of low pressure above the kite. The lower stream hits
the kite at a shallow angle and creates an area of high pressure.
The high pressure area has a pushing effect while the low pressure area has a pulling
effect. The combination of push and pull can creates enough force to lift the kite into the
air.
Kites have been known for thousand of years. They are used for military or scientific
purposes. Todays kites are much used for leisure and competition.

Why summer daylight is longer than winter daylight

in the summer, the amount of daylight that we get is more than we get in winter. This is
not because as much people think we are closer to the sun but because of the tilt of the
earth.
The earth is actually closer to the sun in winter than it is in summer but you would be
forgiven for thinking that this can not be true after looking out of your window on a cold
and frosty morning.
It seems strange that as the earth get closer to the sun during its orbit then the amount
of daylight that we get decrease. But that is the case. It is the tilt of the earth that
determine the amount of daylight that we get and so the length of time that for us the
sun is above the horizon.

How fuel light works

Many cars, motorcycles and other modern vehicles have fuel warning light devices. the
warning light is usually red which switches on automatically when the level of fuel in the
tank is very low. The warning light gives the driver information about the amount of
petrol in the tank. When the light switches on red, it tells the driver that the petrol in the
tank is almost empty. Therefore he have to put more fuel into the tank. However do you
know how the fuel warning works?
Well this is the way the fuel warning light work and gives the driver information about
the accurate amount of the petrol in the tank. When the level of the fuel falls, the float
inside the tank moves downwards. When this condition happens, the arm also moves
downwards and it make the lever touch an electrical contact. This switches on the fuel
light in the car dashboard.
The red light which appears in the fuel panel of the dashboard tells the driver that he
needs more petrol for his car. When he pours more petrol into the tank, this condition
makes the fuel level rise and it pushes the float upwards. In return it disconnects to the
electrical contact and makes the red light switch off.

How does rain happen

Rain is the primary source of fresh water for most areas of the world, providing suitable
conditions for diverse ecosystems, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and
crop irrigation.
The phenomenon of rain is actually a water circle. The concept of the water cycle
involves the sun heating the Earths surface water and causing the surface water to
evaporate. The water vapor rises into the Earths atmosphere. The water in the
atmosphere cools and condenses into liquid droplets. The droplets grow until they are
heavy and fall to the earth as precipitation which can be in the form of rain or snow.
However, not all rain reaches the surface. Some evaporates while falling through dry air.
This is called virga, a phenomenon which is often seen in hot, dry desert regions.
