Which type of text structure answers the questions what happened and why?

There are almost 400 different kinds of sharks. Each kind of shark looks different, has a unique
diet, and behaves differently. There are sharks in the four oceans of the world. Some sharks are longer 
than a school bus, while others are so small they can live in fish tanks. Sharks come in all kinds of colors. 
Most of the time, their skin color helps them blend in with their surroundings. But, some sharks that live 
in the deepest part of the ocean actually have parts that glow in the dark. Most sharks live in salt water, 
but some can live in fresh water.

Why do you need to get exercise? It is good for your body. It makes your heart, muscles, and bones strong. It makes you feel better if you have a bad day. If you exercise, you will stay at a healthy weight.

Some dogs and cats do not have homes. People started animal shelters to take care of these animals and solve the problem of homeless animals. At the shelters, dogs and cats get food and water. They get to play with other dogs and cats. Sometimes, people bring a lost animal to the shelter. Some of these dogs and cats get a new home! People come to animal shelters to get a new pet.

Due to the recent economic crisis and the increasing pressure on schools to boost math and science scores, many schools are allocating less money to arts and music. While these are important subjects, some school districts just don’t have enough money to fully fund those programs. One solution to this problem is a community foundation. Community foundations are established by community members interested in helping schools maintain programs that are no longer supported by direct funding. Foundations raise money through donations and special events and allocate that money directly to the school for the programs they’ve identified.

In the last election, fewer than half of all Americans of voting age actually voted.The lack of participation in the voting process has led to many unintended consequences. Politicians are more likely to campaign directly to narrow factions of the public and to stress very specific issues relevant to those factions. As a result, issues that concern the greater, non-voting public may never be addressed. Second, when politicians do not hear from voters, they have no way to know what the majority cares about. Without clear direction from their constituents (the people who voted for them), politicians may not be able to make choices that best serve their communities.

My closet is a cavern of mystery over run with empty shoe boxes and plastic dry cleaners’ bags. On the left side, a wall of shelves (designed for someone far more organized) seems to regurgitate a collection of sweaters. Dresses, dusty at the shoulders, hang at the back of the closet with their hems sweeping the floor. Also in the back, behind a row of empty plastic storage boxes, sits an ever-growing pile of clothes that need mending, such as a new button or a hem.

Wild chimpanzees are rapidly disappearing. Some people are trying to solve this problem. Otherwise, chimpanzees may one day exist only in zoos. People are trying to save the rain forests and woodlands where the chimps live from being cut down. It will take many people working together to solve this problem.

Chimps live in groups and like each other a lot, but sometimes they fight. Because they don’t want to stay angry at each other after a fight, they make up by holding a hand out to the other. They show they are sorry with pats and hugs. Then the anger goes away.

The earth's crust is made up mostly of hard, rocky substances, though some of these substances have crumbles into dirt from years of exposure to wind and rain and roots of plants. That crust is many miles thick (though the part under the ocean is thinner than the part on land). Underneath the crust is a layer called the mantle. The mantle is about 1,800 miles thick. Below the mantle is the earth's core, which is made up of two layers called the inner core and the outer core.

How do mountains like these disappear? The process begins with rain. As it rains, water seeps through cracks and joints in the stone. Chemicals in the water dissolve small grains of rock. Later on, the water freezes and thaws, prying loose bigger pieces of rock. These rocks grind against other rocks as they slide downhill. The wind carries away particles of dust behind by these grinding rocks. In the end it can be said that wind, water, and gravity have hauled away these mountains.

We observed the crocodile as it stalked a raccoon moving through the moonlight toward the edge of the water. As a result of a noise we made, the raccoon bolted.

One problem to resolve in crocodile watching is transportation. How can an observer get close enough to watch without scaring it away or being attacked?

Others, too, are hungry, including bands of timber wolves, which sometimes follow the musk oxen. In spring, when the calves are born, the wolves become particularly menacing. The musk oxen form a defensive ring, with calves and young animals in the middle. Even a dozen wolves attacking together stand little chance against the circle of lowered heads and sturdy horns.

When Americans settled the Midwest, they were challenged by tough soils that resisted their cast iron plows. The Midwest contains some of the richest soil in the world, yet many settlers concluded that the soil was unsuitable for farming because they couldn't break ground. John Deere's steel plow changed all of that. Deere's plow was stronger and lighter than the iron plows people had used up until then. This allowed settlers to open up the tough but rich soil in the Midwest and unlock its agricultural potential. His invention became known as "The Plow that Broke the Plains," and it helped American farmers feed the world.

The ice-cream shop around the corner has the best ice-cream in the city. When you first walk inside, there is a long counter with matching stools alongside the far wall. Right where the counter stops, the booth seating begins. There are lots of old knickknacks on the walls and chrome napkin holders on the tables. My favorite part is behind the counter glass, where they keep all of the ice-cream flavors. A rainbow of delicious sugary flavors is kept cool and delicious.
