scare away predator or to attract animals they like to eat.

Gold is a precious metal. Gold is used as ornaments or as money. Gold is found in many places, but in a
small supply. It is often found on the surface of the earth. Since gold is a heavy substance, it is
sometimes found loose on bottom of rivers. The gold is found together with sand and rocks, and must
be separated from them. It is simple to search for this type of gold. It is not usually necessary to drill for
gold, but when a layer of gold is located deep below the surface of the earth, it is possible to drill a hole
into the ground. Engineers have developed modern process for removing gold from rocks. Since gold is
not very hard, it is sometimes melted and added to other substances for making rings, coins, and art

                                                                        Tornado

The word tornado comes from Spanish language and means to twist or turn. A tornado is a whirlwind
produced by atmospheric conditions, mainly extremely low pressure, during a severe thunderstorm.

Tornadoes usually turn counterclockwise. They appear as funnel shaped columns of violently rotating
winds that reach down from a storm and touch the ground. Although a tornado is not always visible to
the eye, tornado conditions can still be picked up on radar, or the tornado may become visible once
debris and dirt are pulled into it.

A tornado may also be referred to as a funnel cloud, but this is technically not a correct term. While the
two words are sometimes used interchangeably, a funnel cloud is different, not in its make up, but in
the fact that it does not touch the ground. Another name that is often used to describe a tornado is
twister, due to its violent twisting motion.

The tornado is one of the most unpredictable and destructive forces of nature, often destroying
everything in its path. A tornado is usually preceded by severe storms, which may include lightning, high
winds, and frequent hail. It can change course without notice, and is usually accompanied by a roaring
sound, or as some describe it, the sound of freight train.
