Tornado
A tornado c s of winds w g
very quickly and looks like a dark, spinning f l hanging down from a
dark thundercloud. It is so strong that there is no wind meter that can w d its force. Although much
smaller in size than h s, tornadoes are the most violent
storms known to man. Except for the p
r regions, they occur
nearly everywhere, mostly east of the Rocky Mountains, east of the Andes
mountains and in eastern India, and they are most c n in the Unites States. About 150 or
more tornados occur every year. They usually occur in the late afternoon or
early evening, and from March through October in the case of the Northern H e. In the United States, they are
called t s,
which usually occur in March through June.
The Parthenon
The Parthenon is a temple
made of white m e
which was built by the ancient Greek and has been praised as the most perfect
building in the world throughout history. It housed the statue of the g s known as Athena
Parthenos and decorated with s s of important
events of her life such as her m s birth and competition with
Poseidon. It was originally r t with colors.
Now it is a colorless r n
and most of the f s
marble figures are in the British Museum in London, and those few that remain
are badly m d,
although its appearance is still a
e-inspiring even today. It is very wisely built. The base, for
example, looks straight but is actually curved and this curve s s its harshness, making
it so pleasing to the e e.
