__ what do we use to classify disasters? __

week 6

__week 6 - what i have learned:__
==This week I have learned about the different types of volcano's. There is the Composite, Shield, Cinder cones, Spatter cones and Complex. I also found out how the moon gets its shape. It gets its shape from the shadow of the Earth from the suns sunlight. I also found out that a tsunami is not a wave it is just a gush of water.==

=__ week 10 big question __= ==i think humans are more dangerous to the world than natural disasters because humans are destroying the ozone layer and the disasters of the weather are coming from the ozone layer. natural disasters can make a lot of disasters that humans can't make, but humans can make some disasters that are worse disasters that nature can't make like bombs and oil spills.==
