Snowflakes are formed by water droplets freezing onto bits of dust in the atmosphere, but they come in many different shapes. The most well-known is the six-pointed, star-like snowflake. But some snowflakes are simple six-sided discs, and others are tiny six-sided columns. Two main factors determine the shape of an individual snowflake crystal: the temperature and level of moisture in the air. Colder temperatures, below -22°C, produce simple discs and columns. The familiar star-shaped crystals form in warmer temperatures. And moister air gives rise to more complex shapes with more branches and details.Which organisational structure does this text primarily use?

Solution

The text primarily uses the cause and effect organizational structure. It first presents a phenomenon or fact about snowflakes and their different shapes, then explains the causes (temperature and level of moisture in the air) that lead to these effects (the different shapes of snowflakes).

Snow globes are filled with liquid – a thick mixture of water and antifreeze – and small plastic flakes. Identify whether the plastic flakes become suspended in the liquid when the globe is shaken.

Plants of snowy regions mainly include conifers like deodar and pine. These trees are conical in shape due to their sloping branches. In the heavy snowfall and extreme cold in these regions, their conical shape prevents the snow from accumulating on the tree and the thick bark helps the tree to withstand the cold.
