rainbow The forces of nature are always at work all around us. They are very strong and they never stop. We can see and feel their power in the world. Think about the wind on your face, plants growing, rain falling, the seasons changing, dry deserts and icy lands, volcanoes erupting, earthquakes shaking, and rivers flowing. These things all happen because of the forces of nature.

自然的力量总是在我们周围起作用。 他们非常强壮，从不停止。 我们可以看到并感受到他们在世界上的力量。 想想你脸上的风，植物的生长，雨水的落下，季节的变化，干旱的沙漠和冰冷的土地，火山的爆发，地震的震动，河流的流动。 这些事情的发生都是由于自然的力量。

Earth The Sun is a strong force of nature. It makes night and day on Earth. As Earth spins around and around, the side facing the Sun is in daylight. The side that faces away from the Sun is in Earth's shadow. It is night time there until it turns around into the sunlight again. One part of Earth has daytime while the other part is in darkness.

太阳是一种强大的自然力量。 它创造了地球上的黑夜和白昼。 当地球不停地旋转时，朝向太阳的一面是在日光下。 背向太阳的一面处于地球的阴影中。 那里是夜晚，直到它再次转向阳光。 地球的一部分是白天，而另一部分是黑暗。

Sunlight is the force of nature that warms Earth and makes plants grow. If there was no Sun, there would be no plants on the land or in the sea. There would be no animals, insects, birds, fish, or people because there would be no plants for them to eat. If there was no Sun, the world would be a cold, dark place with no living things.

阳光是大自然的力量，它使地球温暖，使植物生长。 如果没有太阳，陆地上和海里就不会有植物。 没有动物、昆虫、鸟类、鱼类和人类，因为没有植物供它们食用。 如果没有太阳，地球将是一个寒冷、黑暗、没有生物的地方。

tornado Sunlight is also the force of energy that makes the winds blow. The Sun warms the air and makes it move. The wind is moving air. A breeze is a light wind. We can fly kites and sail boats in a breeze. But sometimes the wind becomes stronger and blows much harder. Strong winds can make sandstorms and snowstorms, hurricanes, and tornadoes. Hurricanes sink boats, blow down houses, and knock over trees.

阳光也是产生风的能量。 太阳使空气变暖并使其运动。 风是流动的空气。微风是一种微风。 我们可以在微风中放风筝和划船。 但有时风会变得更大，吹得更猛烈。 强风可以形成沙尘暴、暴风雪、飓风和龙卷风。 飓风击沉船只，吹倒房屋，吹倒树木。

eruption Sometimes the forces of nature work from under the ground. A volcanic eruption starts from deep inside Earth, where there is red-hot melted rock called magma. The magma pushes up through cracks in the rock under a volcano. Then suddenly it erupts, with gas, lava, ash, and steam flying into the air. Rivers of red-hot lava run down the sides of the volcano.

有时，大自然的力量从地下起作用。 火山爆发始于地球深处，那里有炽热的熔化岩石，称为岩浆。 岩浆从火山下岩石的裂缝中喷出。 然后突然爆发，气体、熔岩、灰烬和蒸汽飞向空中。 炽热的熔岩河流从火山的侧面流下。
