It is not possible for people to have the same personality. People can be like you but not exactly the same as you. Your personality can not change, so you will have the same personality as you have now.

Peyton, Cody, James, Harper

When dry air and moist air meet, a tornado starts. The winds push at each other and start swirling. When warm air rises into the clouds and then the condensation falls back on the ground it rains or snows. When water evaporates and freezes it turns in to snow. When little chunks of ice in the clouds bump each other it makes lightning. When high wind surrounds a country it causes a hurricane

When plates under the ground move around they bump into each other and that causes an earthquake.
