Polar Vortex-Mini Research

Polar Vortex

Polar Vortex are extreme cold wind which came from the Arctic(north pole) whipped United States this year. Right now our world is getting so cold caused by Polar Vortex. However, the most effect went on Mid-East of the world which is United States. The temperature went like about -37C to -52C. People in United states have to take good care of their skin because they could freeze. Even Egypt snowed, that was a big surprise. U.S was this cold!!, the bubbles can be frozen when you blow into the air. The hot water you boil it just now freezes and changes it into a snow soon as you throw outdoor. The egg represents our skin. They experiment how many minutes will take to freeze the egg, it took only 5 minutes! So, this shows that when you stay more than 5 minutes outdoor, your skin will be dangerous. One of the three waterfalls Niagara Falls froze from -52C temperature. About 190 million people have been affected from the weather of Polar vortex.
