What I learnt about Natural Disasters: I learnt about the earth and why at certain times of the year its winter, spring etc.

Questions:
 * How are twisters made?
 * Why is the earth round?

How to upload a picture: To upload a picture you have to go to file and in file you find it and upload it to your page. Once uploaded you can make it bigger or smaller and you can put messages underneath it describing the picture. How to upload a video: To upload a video you have to g to widgets and go into videos. From there you on youtube broadcast yourself or whatever websiteit is from and then you type in the video's name/code. Before doing this you have o have watched the movie and have clicked the embed button on the website and you copy it onto the space in the widgets toolbox.

Reflection week 2  This week I learnt that when on the discussion page you are only meant to talk about school stuff (:D) and I learnt how to get a voki as you can see at the very top of the page. To upload a voki you go to home and find the voki on the home page then underneth it is says something like 'get a voki now' and you click it. Once clicked it goes to the voki website and from there on it tells everything you have to do! Also I learnt how to make a slideshow and put pictures in it insted of using up all my room with pictures on my page.

<span style="color: #04b5c3; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">What I learnt about Natural Disasters: <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">I learnt a little bit about twisters and that there can actually be very similar things called water twisters.

<span style="color: #04b5c3; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 108%;">What is a disaster? <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">A disaster is something that people classify as really bad. It isn't always something really bad from some people's point of view but everyone has different opinions.A natural disaster is something that happens naturally and doen't include anything man made. A man made disaster is something that humans make and it might envolve natural things but it is still man made.

<span style="color: #04b5c3; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 117%;">What are some types of disasters? Some types of disasters are:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 97%;">Tidal Waves <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">[[image:Heart_tornado.jpg width="299" height="253" align="right" caption="Love is literally in the air..."]]

 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Volcano


 * No. || Top 5 Natural Disasters || Why ||
 * 1. || Earthquakes || Because Earthquakes are what makes a lot of other disasters so its like the one that starts all the other Natural Disasters and because when they happen they make a lot of damage and kill lots of people and can happen anywhere. ||
 * 2. || Tsunamis || Beacuse Tsunamis are made from Earthquakes sos they are just as bad and because when they happen its bascially impossible to stop them and its very hard to get away from them because they break everything in their way. ||
 * 3. || Bushfires || Because Bushfires can start from stupid kids playing with matches but also because they can be started natually and burn everything in their was and every time they burn a tree thats less and less oxygen we have. ||
 * 4. || Volcanos || Beacuse despite the fact that they only happen in some places, when they happen they can be very dangerous and can kill lots of people. ||
 * 5. || Floods || Beacuse they happen a lot and happen everywhere and also kill people and wreck everything in their path causing a lot of damage. ||

<span style="color: #04b5c3; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">What is the most dangerous natural disaster? ==<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Well...I think that an earthquake is the most dangerous natural disaster because they can happen anywhere in the world. They can be big or they can be small but they still can make anything collapse/break (e.g a building). Also earthquakes have a big tendancy to kill people when they happen. ==

<span style="color: #04b5c3; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Info about earthquakes: <span style="color: #04b5c3; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> ==<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">To us an earthquake is when the earth moves and sometimes splits and everything around it falls over but that is all that an earthquake is. An earthquake is when the earth releases a suden burst of engery. Sometimes if its a really big earthquake happens it can cause tsunamis, landslides and volcanic activity. Earthquakes often happen in places that have a volcano. ==

==<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">One of the reasons earthquakes happen is because of the moving magma (the stuff in the volcano) inside the volcano which can sometimes be a warning of when a volcano is going to errupt. Sometimes after having an earthquake there will be another earthquake which is called the aftershock. There can sometimes be earthquake swarms which is when you have a sequence of earthquakes in a short period of time. These are different to an aftershock. == ==<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Every year there are about 500,000 earthqaukes and only 100,000 of them can be felt. Little earthquakes constantly happen around the world but happen a lot in places such as California, Alaska and the U.S but larger earthquakes occur not as much. Shaking of the ground or rumbling is usually the result of an earthquake with usually ends in more or less damage to everything around them. An earthquake nearly always creates something from it such as an Tsunamiand a fire because if an earhquake happens under the sea it can cause a Tsunmai and if an earthquake knocks over a power line and lands on a tree it can cause a fire becvause of the electricity. The largest earthquake in the world was recorded to happen in Chile in the 1960's. ==

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;"> Reflection week 4 <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 108%;">This week I have learnt how to put a table in and learnt that we should only really colour the headings and leave the rest of the work black to make it easy to read. Also I learnt that most people think that a Tsunami is the worst Natural Disaster but it isn't an E <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 108%;">arthquake is because they make Tsunamis. I think people think that Tsunamis are the worst because they are basically unstoppable and will destroy everything in their way.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">How do we classify disasters and what do we use to measure them? <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">We use heaps of things to measure and classify disasters such as how big it is and how much damage it made.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">What are tectonic plates? <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 108%;">In class we learnt about tectonic plates and what they are. Tectonic plates are plates very close to the middle of the earth. They sit like a layer around the core of the earth and when they collide together they create earthquakes which usually create volcanic eruptions because below the Tectonic plates there is lava so when the Tectonic plates collide they move further away leaving room for the lava to come through.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Facts
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">The core of the earth is hotter than the surface of the sun
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Lava is extremely hot and people don't die from touching lava, they die from the heat surrounding them.

<span style="color: #ffac00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Reflection week 5 <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> This week I learnt a lot about the earth and planets. I learnt that some planets are HUGE and some planets are small and that earth is the 3rd closest planet to the sun which is huge compared to everything else and earth is in a really good spot in order of the plants (according to Mr Farrell ) because its not to close to the sun so its not to hot and its not to far away so its not to cold.

<span style="color: #ffac00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> What are the layers of the earth?media type="youtube" key="3xLiOFjemWQ" height="385" width="480" align="right" <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">The layers of the earth are the earth's crust, the mantle, the tectonic plates and the core. The picture to the right shows each part more clearly.

<span style="color: #ffac00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 108%;">What resources do we use from beneath us? <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">We use heaps of things like different types of gases, oil, petrol etc.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 144%;">Reflections week 6 <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;"> <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">This week learnt I learnt a fair bit about the earth. Did you know that their once was an volcano in Pompeii that got really bad and it started raining ash all over the people and so they ducked for cover but the ash burnt them and there was like a sculpture of a person made out of ash which are now on show at an exhibition. Also that there are five different types of volcanos. They are Composite, Shield, Cinder Cone, Spatter and Complex.

media type="youtube" key="s2i4XS0Esks" height="385" width="480" align="right" <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">What are the atmospheric layers? <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">The atmospheric layers are Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Exosphere.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">How does the sun and moon affect the earth? <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">The sun gives us light and warth. Our calendar is based on the moon and the moon affects everyone.

This video is not of Pompeii!

<span style="color: #ec0e0e; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Reflection Week 7 <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">This week i learnt a fair bit about the earth such as, that there is a layer calle the Ozone layer hich usually stops meteors from hitting the earth but do sometimes let them through. I also learnt that the Ozone layer stops sun beams or something from coming through and burning us.

<span style="color: #ec0e0e; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 108%;"> How can what is in our solar system affect us? <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">It could affect us by giving us heat or light e.g the sun. It could affect us by putting things such as stars in our night sky. Lots of things i our solar system affect us in different ways. <span style="color: #ec0e0e; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">

How can comets, asteroids and meteors affect us? <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">They can affect us by coming through our atmosphere and crashing into us and everything around us.

<span style="color: #c30467; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 108%;">Reflection Week 8 <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;"> This week i have learnt a lot about space and everything in space. I learnt that the in the order of planets following the sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Then the Asteroid Belt comes afterwards followed by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Nepture and Pluto. All of these Planets rotate around the sun and each other.

<span style="color: #c30467; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 108%;">How do humans affect nature? <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;"> Humans affect nature by cutting down trees which wrecks the environment and gives us less oxygen. Humans pollute the environment by using plastic bags which damage the environment ans animals.

<span style="color: #c30467; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">How has human use of land caused problems? <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Humans are wrecking habitats of all different land. We are polluting when we use some machinery. So we affect the land in all of different ways most being bad.

<span style="color: #19e162; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Reflection Week 9 <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> This week i have learnt a little bit about Natural Disasters. I learnt that each planet is named after either a Roman or Greek god or godess. Some planets are named after gods or godess' like the godess of love etc. <span style="color: #19e162; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;"> How are Humans reducing their effect on nature? <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> We are starting to use more recycled things which reduces our effect on nature and a whole lot of other stuff.

=<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> Well. . . . . I say no we aren't more dangerous to the world than natural disasters because we have only been around for like not long at all and if you think about the planet, it is true to say that its has been around a lot longer then we have meaning that there have been more natural disasters than there have been man made disasters. Yes, the man made disasters have been quite bad but so have the natural disasters and there has been more natural disasters so they're just as bad as each other but there has been more of the natural disasters so that makes them worst. = = = =<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">If you look at all the damage that natural disasters has done over the time that it has been, sort of like, alive and you compare that to the amount of man made disasters over the time that humans have been alive, I believe that the natural disasters catergory will be a lot higher/worse than the man made catergory. This doesn't mean that I don't think that man made disasters aren't bad but comparing them to natural disasters I think that natural disasters are worse. =

= And that is why i think that we aren't more dangerous to the world than Natural Disasters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =
