It's AumSum Time!
2

3
I form them.
4
I am the Masquer of Thunder.
5
Oh, Umsum.

7
Hurricanes form only over warm ocean waters near the equator.
8
This warm water evaporates resulting in the formation of warm, moist air over the ocean surface.
9
This air rises up, creating an area of low air pressure below.
10
air from surrounding areas pushes into this low pressure area.
11
This air also becomes warm and moist and rises.
12
This cycle keeps on continuing.
13
Now as the warm moist air keeps on rising, it cools off and forms clouds.
14
Even big stormy cumulonimbus clouds are formed.
15
Now as the warm air continues to rise upward, winds start blowing in a circular pattern around the center.
16
The storm is officially classified as a hurricane.
17
Earthquakes.
18
What causes earthquakes?
19
I, me and myself.
20
Yes.
21
You show off.
22
An earthquake is violent shaking of the earth's crust.
23
The earth's crust is a hard outer covering made up of many pieces called tectonic plates.
24
These plates are always moving.
25
However, the motion is very slow.
26
In a year, they move only 2 to 5 centimeters.
27
My hair grows faster than their movements.
28
Absolutely.
29
Mostly when these tectonic plates move, they brush against each other without causing great damage.
30
However, sometimes they get stuck and cannot easily slide against each other.
31
But the plates still keep pushing, thus creating pressure.
32
Eventually, the pressure builds up so much that one of the plates suddenly moves above the other.
33
Or they may crash into each other, causing the crust to shake violently.
34
creating an earthquake.
35
Oh!
36
Why do volcanoes erupt?
37
Don't worry, AumSum will stop them from erupting.
38
Oh, AumSum.
39
Deep inside the earth's temperatures are so high that some rocks start melting.
40
Now as the rocks melt, their mass remains the same but their volume increases.
41
As a result, they get converted into magma, which is less dense as compared to the surrounding as well as overlying rocks.
42
Now, because of buoyancy, this lighter magma starts rising towards the surface of the earth and gets collected in magma chambers.
43
Eventually, this magma pushes through the vents and fissures and erupts through the earth's surface.
44
What makes ice clear or cloudy?
45
At home, we generally use room temperature tap water to make ice.
46
At room temperature, water has many dissolved minerals, gases etc. which are invisible to our naked eyes.
47
On freezing this water, its temperature starts dropping and ice starts to form from outside.
48
The gases no longer remain dissolved.
49
But, as they cannot escape out, they get pushed towards the unfrozen center.
50
Eventually, when the center freezes, the trapped minerals and gases become visible.
51
Making ice cloudy.
52
Will it rain from the cloudy ice?
53
Oh, just listen.
54
Now, to avoid this situation, some specialized ice makers make ice slowly layer by layer.
55
In this technique, water is made to continuously flow over the surface of a cool container.
56
Thus, water begins to freeze from the bottom of the container, layer by layer, giving the minerals and gases time to escape from the top, making ice clear.
57
What is a tsunami?
58
I don't know.
59
Tsunami is a series of giant waves.
60
In Japanese, tsunami means harbor wave. And in Chinese.
61
Oh, just listen.
62
A wave is created when energy passes through water.
63
Moving air or wind provides energy to water, forming regular waves.
64
While on the ocean floor, when a tectonic plate suddenly slides beneath the other.
65
The resulting earthquake releases a tremendous amount of energy.
66
This energy spreads outward from the point of earthquake, triggering waves that can form tsunami.
67
Initially, these waves are small in size but they travel at great speeds.
68
However, when the waves approach the shore, The rising seabed obstructs the energy of waves.
69
This slows down the speed of waves.
70
But the energy flux must remain constant, leading to an increase in the height of waves, thus resulting in tsunami.
71
Ha ha ha ha ha.
72
Buoyancy.
73
Can you drown in the Dead Sea?
74
Your answer must be yes, right?
75
You must be thinking that anyone who cannot swim will obviously drown.
76
Whether it is a swimming pool or the Dead Sea.
77
However, that is not 100 % true.
78
Confused?
79
Let me explain to you.
80
When an object is partly or wholly immersed in a fluid, an upward force is exerted by the fluid on that object.
81
This tendency of the fluid to exert an upward force on the object is called buoyancy or up thrust.
82
This upward force is called buoyant force.
83
So, do you finally get it?
84
Place a piece of wood in water and push it downwards.
85
What do you observe?
86
It seems like something is pushing the piece of wood upwards, right?
87
Water exerts an upward force on the wood.
88
That is why the wood is getting pushed upwards.
89
This force is called buoyant force and the tendency of water to exert that buoyant force is called buoyancy.
90
Ocean.
91
The presence of this salt increases density of water present in the Dead Sea.
92
Higher density leads to greater buoyant force.
93
As the Dead Sea has very high density, it exerts enough amount of buoyant force to make us float on it.
94
So, if we can float on the Dead Sea, we are definitely not going to drown in it.
95
Why do we have seasons?
96
Because of season fairies.
97
No. It is mainly because of our earth's axis.
98
Our earth's axis is tilted at an angle of about 23 .5 degrees.
99
Hence, as the earth revolves around the sun.
100
Sometimes the northern hemisphere points towards the sun.
101
While sometimes the southern hemisphere.
102
This causes seasons.
103
Alright, let us observe the northern hemisphere to learn more about seasons.
104
When the northern hemisphere points towards the sun, the sun rays directly strike the northern hemisphere.
105
Thus, the temperatures are high, resulting in summer season in that region.
106
However, when the northern hemisphere points away from the sun, the sun rays fall slanting on it.
107
Thus, the temperatures are low, resulting in winter season.
108
But when the northern hemisphere is neither tilted towards nor away from the sun, the temperatures are moderate, resulting in spring and autumn season.
109
Ear.
110
How do ears help with balancing?
111
They really do.
112
You don't believe me.
113
How do you think you are able to maintain your balance?
114
Do you know why you can't balance yourself anymore?
115
Wait.
116
I have to say that.
117
I have to say that.
118
I have to say that.
119

131
I have to say that.
132
I have to say that.
133
I have to say that.
134
I have to say that.
135
I have to say that.
136
I have to say that.
137
I will tell you.
138
This happens because there is a connection between our ears and body balance.
139
Our ear consists of 3 parts.
140
Outer ear, middle ear and inner ear.
141
Our inner ear works in sync with our eyes and muscles.
142
Helping us maintain balance while we are doing various activities.
143
Posterior semicircular canal and a lateral semicircular canal.
144
The three semicircular canals are arranged in three different positions.
145
Each of these canals has a fluid called endolink.
146
And hair cells called cilia at the base.
147
Whenever we move our head, the fluid moves, resulting in the movement of the cilia as well.
148
When the cilia moves, it sends signals to the brain informing which direction our head has just moved in.
149
Each canal has different functions as per the movement of our head.
150
When we move our head up and down, the superior semicircular canal helps our brain to understand the yes motion.
151
When we tilt our head towards our shoulders, the posterior semicircular canal helps our brain to understand the tilting motion.
152
The lateral semicircular canal helps our brain to understand the no motion.
153
It was too complicated, right?
154
Ok.
155
Don't worry about it.
156
Relax.
157
Why don't you go on a merry go ride?
158
Hey.
159
Why were you not able to maintain your balance?
160
When it started rotating, the fluid in the semicircular canals also started to move.
161
After a while, it was moving at the same rate at which you were moving.
162
However, when the ride stopped and you got down from the ride, the fluid was still in motion due to inertia.
163
Hence, even though you were not moving, the moving fluid gave your brain false information telling you that you are still in motion.
164
Thus, you were not able to maintain your balance.
165
Mmm!

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
