Hello everyone wellcome to my blog today I will explain about Explanation Text

Definition of Explanation Text

Explanation is a text which tells processes relating to forming of natural, social, scientific and cultural phenomena. Explanation text is to say ‘why’ and ‘how’ of the forming of the phenomena. It is often found in science, geography and history text books.

Generic Structure of Explanation Text

– General statement
General statement; stating the phenomenon issues which are to be explained.
– Sequenced of explanation
Sequenced explanation; stating a series of steps which explain the phenomena.

Purpose of Explanation Text

– Explanation is a text which tells processes relating to forming of natural, social, scientific, and cultural phenomena.
– To explain how or why something happens.

According to Mark Anderson and Kathy Anderson (1997: 82) says that the explanation text type is often used to tell how and why thing (phenomena) occur in nature.

– Using Action verbs
– Containing explanation of the process 

Examples of Explanation Text

Rain

Rain is an event of falling fluid from the atmosphere which is liquid or frozen to the surface of the earth. Rain requires the thick layers of atmosphere to meet temperatures above the melting point of ice and above a surface of the earth. Rain is a process of condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere into a grain that is heavy enough to fall to the earth and will fall ashore. Rain comes at a certain time because it can have a negative or positive impact on the lives of living things.

Rain has several stages so that the rain process can run optimally. The process of rain, namely sunlight that shines on the earth causes evaporation in the oceans, lakes, rivers, and other water sources. So that it will produce a vapor of water. This water vapor will increase and there will be a condensation event. This event is caused by the temperature around water vapor lower than a dew point of moisture.

Then these water vapor will form clouds, then the wind (where there is a difference in air pressure) will carry a grain of water. In the grains of water will combine and increase due to air turbulence, these points will be pulled by the gravitational force of the earth so that it falls to the surface of the earth. And when it falls to the surface of the earth, these grains will pass through a warmer layer below. So that a small portion of the water evaporates again and some fall to the surface of the earth called rain.

Some of the benefits of rain are to make healthy hair, rain contains H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) which can be used as treatment therapy, rainwater contains elements of Nitrogen which is beneficial for plants. Rainwater can also eliminate fishy odors, can eliminate toxins (toxins) in the body, etc. Therefore, it can be said that rain has many benefits for the life of living things.
