Dear Nanang
Hi, Nang how are you? I am doing fine here in Arizona. It has been a month since my family
moved to the USA.
I missed Indonesia so much. Arizona is basically a large dessert. It`s hot and the air is dry.
Summer time is the hottest. Sometimes the temperature reaches forty degrees celcius. I live in a
small town called sierra vista. It`s about three hundred miles from phoenix, the capital city Arizona.
Luckily, we did not move to phoenix. There a lot of mountain in sierra vista. Our house lies next to
miller peak. It`s the higgest mountain in the area. I love going there for hiking with my father. We
can see a lot of of bird and deer
Ok, Nang. I will write to you again sometimes. Say hi to your family from me.
Sincerely,
Jaini

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 cycle. The concept of the water cycle involves
the sun heating the Earth's surface water and causing the surface water to evaporate. The water
vapor rises into the Earth's 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.
