Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons with relevant.
The diagram details the various components of a hot
air
balloon
and describes its mechanics. As is evident from the diagram, the three key parts of a hot
air
balloon
are the
envelope
, the
basket
and the
burner
.
In addition
, the hot
air
balloon
’s mechanism for ascending and descending revolves around the thermal regulation of
air
. The main part of a hot
balloon
is a large
envelope
which has an inverted teardrop shape. At the top is the ‘parachute valve’ which is a self-sealing flap used to regulate the pace at which hot
air
escapes. The large vertical sections below the valve are called ‘gores’, which are made up of smaller panels. The
envelope
tapers into a small base called a ‘skirt’. The skirt is attached to the
basket
using ropes, and the
burner
hangs above the
basket
. Inside the
basket
are propane tanks which are used to power the
burner
. Regarding the function of the hot
air
balloon
, the
burner
combines regular
air
with propane to heat the
air
trapped inside the
envelope
, which
then
becomes lighter and
thus
makes the
balloon
buoyant.
To begin
a descent, the
air
is cooled and effectively becomes heavier, pulling the hot
air
balloon
downward.
