In today's blog we will discuss explanation text. 

Does anyone know what an explanation text is?, 

here is the explanation......

Explanation text is a text which explains how and why a phenomenon happens. It includes both natural and social phenomena. 

Type of Explanation Text ;

1. Sequential Explanation Text

This text describes a process based on sequence and time.

Example: How seawater becomes salty

2. Cause and Effect Explanation Text

This text explains the cause and effect of the phenomenon.

Example: Why do people feel sleepy after a meal

Structure of Explanation Text ;

1. Titles

The first structure is the title or title. The title of the text gives an overview of the contents of the text.

2. General Statements

In the second part, namely the general statement, the general description of the things described in the text will be explained.

3. Explanation

This section provides a series of processes about how and why something happens or causes and effects that are explained through the sequence of events. This explanation section can consist of more than one paragraph

4. Conclusion

Finally, there is the conclusion section, which contains the conclusion of the entire process described earlier.

The difference between Explanation Text and Procedure Text ;

1. Differences in Purpose

Explanation text aims to explain how and why something can happen so that readers can find out about the process.

if the procedure text aims to explain how to make or do something so that the reader can carry out these steps.

By reading explanation text you will know how something can happen, but if it is procedure text you will know how to make something.

2. Structural Differences

Besides the different purposes, the structure of explanation text and procedure text is also different. The structure of the explanation text consists of a title, general statement, explanation, and conclusion. Meanwhile, the procedure text structure consists of goals, materials, and steps.

Example of Explanation Text

Title:

How Seawater Becomes Salty

General Statement:

Two-thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered in water, and 97% of that is salty seawater. Only 3% of our planet’s water is fresh such as water in rivers, lake, and streams. This fresh water plays a big role in explaining how the sea becomes salty. Water moves around our planet in a cycle powered by the sun: from the sea, to the sky, to the land and then back to the sea.

Explanation:

When the sun heats the water in the sea, it changes into gas called water vapour and rises into the air, through a process called evaporation. After that, the water vapour turns back into liquid water while floating in the air, forming clouds through a process called condensation. Then this water eventually falls from the clouds in the sky as rain, sleet, hail or snow in which the process is also called precipitation. When these flows into streams and rivers, and eventually makes its way back to the sea.

Furthermore, the rain that falls from the sky contains small amounts of chemicals called carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide which makes the rain slightly acidic. This acid can absorb small amounts of mineral salts, including sodium and chloride. These mineral salts are dissolved from the rocks which then enter the water.

Conclusion:

Thus, the main salt in seawater is sodium chloride. The rain water flows off the land and into the rivers and streams that lead all the way to the sea, carrying the dissolved salts along with it that makes the seawater salty.
