Have you ever thought “why do earthquakes happen and how they happen”?Well to begin with they are caused what the earth’s crust breaks up into pieces called tectonic plates and when they collide that strong energy causes earthquakes.

This is important because a lot of people can get hurt if they are walking while an earthquake is happening.Also you can get hurt if your in a building and the building is falling or about to fall.

A lot of people never know when an earthquake is coming so they just keep on doing whatever they want not knowing their in danger.Also a lot of people sometimes survive earthquakes if they are far away even just a tiny bit away you can survive.

Well if an earthquake happens where you live a lot of people might just scream but try to stay calm and maybe go in your house and try to hide somewhere safe for example, under your table, under your bed, or any other place that’s safe for you.

Also earthquakes don’t just hurt people and break houses they also break land because since earthquakes can happen on land they can destroy some parts like the grass which is important because some animals can’t survive without grass.

And when I say grass I also mean the road too.Well the road is really important because when cars drive on the road they can get in a accident.

They are many effects with tsunamis I’m going to began with the safety list.listen to a tv if you are in bad whether and live near an ocean make evacuation plan it well help. If you see unusual movement then move to a higher place fast.this is important because what if a REAL tsunami happens here are some ways to help people when a tsunami happens you can make a help center and if you are up to a point that say a tsunami warring then have a emergency kit

Tornados can happen anywhere in the world. But tornados happen mostly in America,Australia and New Zealand . But a place I’m America called the tornado ally gets the most tornados. Some states in the tornado ally are Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, South Dakota and Texas but there is not a tornado every day so don’t go expecting a tornado

There are many famous tsunamis.

One of the most famous tsunamis , is the Boxing Day tsunami on December 26 2004. The 2004 tsunami killed 230,000 Indonesians.

Another famous Tsunami is the Japan Tsunami in March 2011 11. The 2011 Tsunami killed an estimate of 18,000 people.

Another Japanese tsunami killed 130,000 people, Japan’s population went down a lot after that tidal wave hit.

In other words, this means, tsunami’s can have a really big impact at places that have a border with water like, Hawaii,New Guinea, Indonesia,Papua and Portugal.

Tsunami’s are even more popular in Hawaii and Indonesia.

When I was in Hawaii, the people at the beach where testing out the tsunami sirens and my family friends and I freaked out because we thought it was a real tsunami ,but my mom told us that they where just testing.

This shows, a tsunami can kill an estimate of 1 billon people, or maybe a whole population!

there are many places to got during an earthquake.

During an earthquake you need to get under a shelter

And protect your head and neck. Because something might be thrown at you and it will hurt you really bad cause your head is the most important part of your body. So you need to protect your head. And you need to be under a shelter cause a lot of things will be thrown at you. So it’s gonna hurt really really bad and u would like things being thrown at you cause what if something metal got thrown at you then its gonna hurt really really bad.

So you need to protect your head.

On December 26 2004, a powerful tsunami hit multiple countries. Indonesia and Thailand were probably the hardest hit because they were closer to the epicenter of the earthquake. In Indonesia, nobody noticed until it was to late because they had no prediction devices and they weren’t prepared.but Indonesia wasn’t the only one hit, 15 other countries were to, killing an estimated amount 300,000 people. While there were worse tsunamis, the one caused by the Indian Ocean in 2004 was pretty deadly, and is really recent. But. Remember, other countries were hit too. For example, in Sri Lanka 35,000 people were killed including 800 of them that were on a train. In conclusion, the 2004 tsunami was a very, very deadly tsunami, killing many in its path through different countries, a tragedy making many lose loved ones.

To begin with the San Francisco earthquake was one of the strongest earthquakes ever. It destroyed almost everyone’s homes, it killed at least 525 people with a 8.7 on the Richter scale. Around 300 people were injured. They had to rebuild almost everything even the statue of Abraham Lincoln which they had built just a few years before it happened. The earthquake later started a fire that destroyed the whole city of San Francisco. Many residents of San Francisco were left homeless after the earthquake and fire, many people lost their lives and loved ones.

There are many was to Survive a Hurricane.But here are some ways to survive a Hurricane . Firstly contact the weather Chantal’s like The National weather service for further news on the Hurricane.This is important because you mite not know how high the wind speeds are and if or if not the Hurricane recks your house because you mite know when it strikes.Secondly before the Hurricane starts run away to any under ground shelter that a lot of people can go in, but don’t go in one if someone owns it this is because you don’t wanna get in trouble after the storm and before the storm starts pack, healthy food, and lots of water. This is because you do not want to starve to death in conclusion, these are three ways how to survive a hurricane.

# data[].attributes.body
To begin with hurricanes form by the warm ocean water and warm air that rises. The rain and wind can form tropical storms and when a hurricane is happening it moves in a spiral. Also when a hurricane move in a spiral it rotate around a central point where air pressure is very low. Whenever a hurricane starts at is the most damaged part the hurricane. Hurricanes happen if the warm moist air above the ocean’s surface rises.

This can also be a storm surge when suddenly the ocean water level and hit the ground like a big, and powerful wave that cause very big floods. Hurricanes can happen if the warm water was at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Hurricanes can also knock down so many trees in one area.

Thank you for reading about causes and effects of a hurricane, I hope you learn a lot about hurricanes.

What happens when an earthquake occurs? When an earthquake happens, people can get injured, landslide can happen, and rocks can fall off mountains. The more buildings in the location of the earthquake, the more damage the earthquake would cause. P&S waves affect the different types of earthquake that will happen. P waves are squiggly while S waves are just the Tectonic plates moving. Aftershocks are mini earthquakes that happen after a big earthquake. After shocks can happen minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months after an earthquake. Earthquakes can cause gas tanks or lines to break or explode.earthquakes can cause power lines to collapse and fall on roads to cause crashes. Also if the power lines fall down it would cause the power to go out and all our appliances would stop working. Earthquakes don’t usually hurt people but big ones can hurt people. Earthquakes usually only cause damage during them, they can cause damage after them too. Earthquakes can make buildings fall on roads and cause crashes. Some water and food may not be accessible or safe to eat or drink after an earthquake. If an earthquake breaks a water way, the will cause a flood. A flood can damage many things like buildings, roads, and homes. This shows how earthquakes are always changing our planet.

Have you ever heard of an Ef scale before? Ef scales measure how bad tornados are. The worst tornadoes are Ef5. They can lift somebody over a 1,000 ft imagine if that happened to you. Ef4 and Ef5 are when the most deaths occur.

Let’s talk about Ef0 and Ef1. Ef0 has winds of 65-85 that’s as fast as a car. They’re both the most common tornadoes. Ef1 has winds of 86-110.

Ef2 doesn't do much damage. Its winds are 111-136 it can kill about 60 people which is still a lot of people.

Ef3 can dig up roots so it can basically lift a trees off the ground. The winds are 136-165. I can’t imagine how it would feel like if you were in the middle of it.

Ef4 has winds of 166- 200 I wonder why I am scared of heights when I should be afraid of tornadoes. Ef4 can pick up trains and destroy them. In other words it can kill hundreds of people.

I know I’ve already told you about Ef5. It has winds over 200 imagine that. It can kill over 700 people.

Now that I have told you about tornados you should get to your shelter as fast as you can.

You can know when a hurricane is coming if you use the radar app on your cellphone or you can buy a radar and see where hurricanes are at. There were just a big hurricane 9 days ago and it name was Hurricane Mellisa and it was hitting Jamaica. A other hurricane was going south near Florida on October 28 2025.

Their are many causes of tsunamis

The first step to cause a tsunami is the tsunami formed by the underwater tectonic plates shift back to forth.

Then the water starts to fizz or bubble at the bottom of the ocean to form hot water.

The water causes a foam looking texture to form on the shore.

After waves start to build up on the shore and get bigger and bigger as they come closer.

Then the tsunami hits the land! The effects are really horrible and tragic!

There is a lot of earthquakes in the world. But some are famous/popular some are not famous or popular. I will tell you about famous/popular earthquakes.

Haiti is a famous area because they have bad earthquakes, deadly earthquakes, and some are even big. Like one time there was a massive earthquake in Haiti. I think Haiti is the most popular place for earthquakes. I did not know what Haiti was until I readied about it.

China is not really popular about earthquakes but oh boy they have a lot or earthquakes some really deadly and bad.

California in the other hand is popular for earthquakes. Some being bad some big tiny it can be deadly but not common. A lot of them were in the past. But I think the earthquakes are common still.

The ring or fire… yikes its the most popular one because 90% of earthquakes happen there so basically all of them its deadly bad and more. I feel bad for fisher men honestly.

Most Earthquakes happen along the RING OF FIRE . Faults are fractures or cracks in the earth crust.These fractures happen at plate bound . When the pressure becomes too great. And results on Earthquake’s.

THE RING OF FIRE is best to the Pacific Ocean. Most of the Earthquake’s happen around the Pacific Ocean. And the RING OF FIRE.

Some faults can be called surface faults they can be seen under ground. Others called blind faults lies. Beneath the surface during an earthquake . One side of a fault are divided into categories

The Ways to Protect Yourself From Tornados 

# data[].attributes.body
there are many ways to protect yourself in a tornado. Like if you stay outside during a tornado even in a car you will get swept away. If you try to out drive it you will get swept away again. If you hide in ditch you might be safe but your best way to stay safe is stay inside and don’t go out to watch it happen because your car could block the rode for emergency response to get to other people who need help. Also make a list of things you will need like phone, flashlight, emergency kit, food, water, and keep away from glass you could get cut, bruised and concussed by falling debris. Also hide low and put your hands on your neck , crouch and put your head on the floor and keep that position if you can’t a ditch if you’re outside run to the nearest house and ask to get inside. Keep out of cars, planes and bikes of all kinds.this shows you how to keep you safe in a tornado.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many shelters to get under during an earthquake

When an earthquake happens get under a shelter.A table is the safest shelter to get under. A table is safe so you should get under a table. A table is a really safe shelter to get under. Because you get under a chair the chair will fly away by the earthquake. And you will get really really hurt and that’s not good cause you would want a shelter to be safe So get under a shelter cause then you will not get hurt!

It’s very hard o Survive Tsunamis. To begin with you have to be prepared and faster than 2 minutes. Try to go as you can from water. If you don’t then your chances of getting caught in the wave is higher. If the streets have traffic run,bike,or speed walk. If you don’t you are going to get swept away. People Should always carry an emergency kit if your in a high risk area. In that kit you need a pocket nife,flash light,meds,and more… If a tsunami hits run stop whatever your doing and run. This is importent because people should always be aware in an area with tsunamis. For example in Indonesia tsunamis hit there are lot’s of tsunamis hit there like the Boxing Day tsunami. If you’re in school And A tsunami hits know Every escape route. I used to Think tsunamis Weren’t that dangerous but now I think tsunami’s are very dangerous because they come in lots of waves. Always remember if you’re in a righ risk area. Tsunamis are dangers always know if you’re in a high risk area and know your emergency route and always carry an emergency kit/bag in a high risk area.

Have you ever wondered when or where earthquakes happen? Well I’m here to tell you! The places where tectonic plates shift a lot is where a lot of earthquakes happen. Earthquakes happen a lot in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Japan, and Alaska. It’s hard to predict when earthquakes will happen, but scientists use a tool called a seismographs to help predict when an earthquake will happen. Most earthquakes do not cause a lot of damage only a few cause a lot of damage and distroction.

Have you ever heard of the Joplin Tornado. It’s one of the most tragic stories ever and it was an Ef5.

It all started when the sirens rang. Most people ignored it because they have been having a lot of false calls it also was sunny out. Then it hit people screamed and ran for their shelter.

The Joplin Tornado killed 161 with winds of 250 mph. It destroyed 7,000 houses.

A simple map of were  these tsunamis happened.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many different times in time, were tsunamis were made. For example, in 2004 multiple countries got hit by a deadly tsunami, killing about 300,000 people who were just enjoying a day at the beach. This horrific tsunami is recent and well recorded. Also, it was the biggest one in quite some time. Another important tsunami was in May 22 1960, powerfully hitting chile. This tsunami wasn’t as deadly as the 2004 one, but it still killed 2,000 people from chile, 122 Japanese people and 61 people in Hawaii.

While some tsunamis are deadly, others are just plain enormous. For example, in Lituya Bay Alaska, on July 9 1958 a wave peaked at 1,720 feet while it only killed 2 people. This is important because the tsunami of 2004 killed many more people but only peaked at a 110 foot wave. One of the more old tsunamis include the tsunami of June 15 1896 in Japan. It killed more than 27,000 people, which is pretty devastating. One of the oldest tsunamis though is the tsunami of August 1883. It was a deadly one as well, killing 36,000 people, also making the island of Krakatoa Indonesia lose most of its land.

I hope by now you know this, but in case you don’t, tsunamis can happen anytime, but not anywhere, as they happen in places near huge bodies of water, including both islands and continents. Hope you learned more about tsunamis!

tornados are powerful they can brake glass, doors and houses. If a tornado is in water it can make a rain storm .tornado Can destroy stuff in the air too not just the ground .tornados can destroy power lines so even if you’re house is fine your frozen food is not. And you will have to go to a store but the store is probably destroyed too. Tornados can lunch stuff into other things .tornados can destroy forests , cars and tees an ef5 tornado can basically destroy everything in its path.even after a tornado is gone there is still issues you’re house is broken you have no power stores are probably broken and you have no food and water you can’t just buy food and water. just because you survived doesn’t mean you are safe .

Scientist also use seismographs to find out where the Earthquake is so we know if it is near us.

The Mercalli scale measures how the Earthquake affects people,damage to homes and buildings they also measure what places need the most help.

The moment magnitude scale does a better job measuring big earthquakes because it has no upper limit however it has trouble measuring small earthquakes.

there are many scary things about hurricanes. This is one and where hurricanes form. For starters hurricanes can form only if it is 80° in the water and sky. For hurricanes to form it has to be May 15 through November 30. Hurricanes Can’t go far on land, but can go very far on water. Hurricanes can only form on an ocean. I’m beginning to wonder how does the National weather service know that hurricanes can only occur from May 15 through November 30. That was where and when hurricanes can form.

These are some tips on how to survive tsunamis.

If you are at the ocean and you see foam looking water on the ocean shore,RUN! It means there is a tsunami headed your way! If traffic, run or bike as fast as you can!

Fun Fact: the first people who die are the people who go right back to the beach after the first wave. When tsunamis strike, there is normally more than one wave. It normally takes 30min-2hr for another wave to hit.

Don’t look back while you are running, it will just slow you down.

The next tip is to not pack all of your things first, because you wont have anofe time

More About The San Francisco Earthquake 

# data[].attributes.body
The San Francisco earthquake was a major earthquake because it was over 8 on the Richter scale 2 or lower are not felt. 5 can cause minimum damage while 8 or higher cause major damage to towns, cities and villages and all other communities.

Many buildings were built poorly so it would be easy for a natural disaster to destroy them. The earthquake caused a lot of damage and killed people but the fire destroyed most of the city it only killed about 15 out of 525 residents many firefighters were killed while trying to help people get out of buildings.

The strongest earthquake ever recorded had a 9.3 on the Richter scale it was in China in 1554 it killed an estimated 550 people.

there is only one way a tornado is formed and this is it explained. Okay so when cold dry air meets warm and moist air it spins round and round people hear alarms they go to cellars and basements to keep safe .but if you watch this is what happens so it spins faster and faster .then it looks like a cone driving a invisible car then it gets faster destroying thing throwing things around town like cars, bikes, skateboards and other loose things . making more and more rubble making a city a graveyard for things. so always go inside during a tornado

Imagine if that was your house what would you do?

Another Famous tornado is the Tri-state Tornado it is known to be the worst Tornado ever. It went through Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. It was also was an Ef5.

The people of Missouri were worried because the sky was looking dark grey then the sirens rang. Everyone was screaming trying to get to their shelter.

767 people died this is important because that’s like 6 times as many as the Joplin Tornado. The winds were 300 mph that is way faster than a car! 15,000 houses were destroyed now that’s a lot. It traveled 219 miles that’s a 3 hours worth of driving.

Now that I taught you about famous tornados you should think twice during a tornado.

There are many steps on how to be safe in an

Earthquake. If you are out side during an earthquake.Stay far from tall structures. They may collapse like trees or buildings. This important because. It’s for your safety. And the trees or buildings could fall on you and that’s really really dangerous because. If it falls on you then you’ll get hurt and imagine if a tree fell on you or a whole building fell on you. Then you would not be able to breathe and it would be really scary and u would not be able to go to hospital cause a hospital is a tall structure and a building so don’t go next to tall structures. Because this might happen to you

So you need to be safe just in case it happens to you.

Have you ever been in an earthquake? Well if not this is all about safety for an earthquake. If you are in an earthquake then take cover under a table right away. But your should never be near an outside door or a window because it can fall on you. If you don’t know what to do Then Duck your head cover your Hands over your head and Go to a crawling position.

You should also still be careful when earthquake is done because there are after shocks. And crack walls and floors can still break plus Ceilings And buildings.

If you live in an area with earthquakes or you just wanna be safe, here is a list of things you need for an earthquake. Here is an earthquake kit. You need three bottles of water for each person can food and dry food Hand operated opener Battery operated radio, flashlight, whistle extra batteries, first aid kit, dust mask, plastic sheets, duct tape, moist towelettes Trash bags ties wrench or pillars, local maps, special medication or eyeglasses, baby or pet supplies, sleeping bags, clothes for each person sturdy shoes for each person fire extinguisher.

None of those are really necessary, but helpful. If you have time, that will be nice.

If you get a warning for an earthquake, then you should go outside without any buildings because it can fall.

People say that under a door frame is the best area to go when an earthquake happens and some MythBusters decided to try it for themselves and it’s really good. Basically the best area to go in an earthquake just go under the door Frame.

If you’re in the earthquake go under a door frame, Table, Chair, Or Outside. All of these are for safe.

These are the things to be safe in an earthquakes but most earthquakes happen In ring of fire so don’t worry too much.

The effects of Hurricane Katrina were very bad. Hurricane Katrina was a category 5 hurricane with wind speeds up to 155-miles per hour.Back in 2005,the people of New Orleans we’re devastated when there homes got recked by Hurricane Katrina.And when the Hurricane settled the people of New Orleans swam to a football feld to live in since there homes were flooded.In other words the people of New Orleans used a kayak to get across into the unflooded football feld were it was safe to stay in for the hurricane. Imagine staying in a football field on days on end,if I were them I would hate every day Because the football field was closed and you couldn’t go on it so if you brought a football, you couldn’t even play with it.I’am beginning to wonder how long is hurricane Katrina and why do floods happen during a hurricane? In conclusion Hurricane Katrina was one if not the most strongest hurricanes in history

# data[].attributes.body
This is the differences of hurricanes. For starters The levels of hurricanes aren’t called levels they’re called categories. The different categories are based on the wind speed. In 1992 there was a hurricane that was category 5 that killed 23 people. The hurricane Katrina killed more than 2500 people. This proves that the category sometimes doesn’t matter. This is the different categories of a hurricane.
