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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

Earthquake If you are outside during a earthquake

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 different

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

I hope you know this by now but in case you don’t, tsunamis can happen anytime, just not anywhere, because tsunamis are made of water, meaning if you aren’t that close to a huge body of water, likely a tsunami won’t hit you. Hope you learned more about tsunamis!

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.

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.

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.

Richter scale- is used to find a earthquake

Seismograph- is used to measure earthqaukes

Tectonic plates- areas that rub together to cause an earthquake

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.
