    The document provides two examples of explanation texts. The first example explains the process of natural and non-natural flooding, describing how rainwater is absorbed into the ground and flows to lower areas, causing flooding. It also explains how human activities like littering can clog water flow and cause flooding. The second example explains what triggers sleep, describing how brain cells called astrocytes release the chemical adenosine, which accumulates over time and induces sleep along with increased sleep pressure the longer one stays awake.

    Examples
    Flooding is a disaster which commonly happens in large and densely populated cities. In
    Indonesia, the floods hit Jakarta very often and cause many victims. Then, do you know
    the process of how flood happens? Pay attention to the following explanation.

    The process of natural flooding is preceded by rain which falls to the surface of the earth.
    Then the rain water is absorbed by the ground surface and flows to the lower place.
    Once that condition happens, evaporation and the water appear to the surface of the
    land. Flooding can be disastrous for humans when floods happen in an area that people
    live because the water carries along objects like houses, bridges, cars, furniture and
    even people.

    On the other hand, the process of non natural flooding is usually caused by bad habits of
    humans who do not care about the environment, such as littering that can make water
    flow clogged. This makes the water deposited in landfills which gradually becomes more
    common. When water reservoirs can no longer hold water discharge, the water then
    overflows out theland and cause flooding.
    Examples
    Scientists know we need sleep, but it is not easy to find that what exactly make us
    sleepy. Hers is some explanation.
    The brain cells called astrocytes fuel the urge to sleep by releasing adenosine, a
    chemical known to have sleep-inducing effects that can be inhibited by caffeine.
    The longer a person or animal is awake, the stronger the urge to sleep becomes. This is
    known as sleep pressure. Prior studies pointed to adenosine as a trigger for sleep
    pressure. The chemical accumulates in the brain during waking hours, eventually helping
    to stimulate the unique patterns of brain activity that occur during sleep.
