= __​​week1__ = =This week i have learn't how to get a wiki page up and a lot of different disasters that i didn't even knew excist like cyclones or terribly high floods i didn't even know they could get so high and i did not know what a cyclone was. A lot of things have done bad to a lot of countries including Australia. I have watched some movies of lightnins, storms including dust storms and floods. I have learn't that a lot of people die and loose their houses and all their furniture and belonings. I have also learn't that disasters have happened to people i know.= = Week2 = =Thisweek we have made posters. Sian and i made a poster about floods, other people made other posters about other different disasters. I have also learn't to make a voki. We also made volcanos and made them erupt.= = Answers = =1. a natural disaster is somthing that happens and destroys alot of things and can kill alot of people and animals. somtimes it hardly does anything somtimes it does alot of damage.= =2.there are a lot of disasters in the world so i have put them into catagories, there are weather patterns- storms floods cyclones hurricanes and tornadoes. there is weather climate conditions- drouts, bushfires and avalanches. last there are changes in the earths crust- volcanoes earthquakes and tidalwaves/tsunami.= =3.i think a tsunami is the most dangorous disaster because it can take out many really large buildings= = week 3 = == =the grade 5's were on camp= = week4 = =this week i have learned about plates under the earth and if they crash they= = = =make an earthquake which can make a volcano erupt.= = Answers = = week5 = =This week i have learned that planets are more than just= =rotating balls they are part of our solar system and= ==

=that 5 planets are rock planets and 4 are metal planets. mostly this week we have been talking about planets so far i have learn't that jupiter is the biggest planet and earth is like a speck to it and mercury and pluto look like they don't exsist.= = Answers = = 1.the earths structure has 5 layers the crust the tectonic plates the upper mantle the lower mantle the outer core and the inner core = = 2. dimonds from uderneath the ground that have been crushed for millions of years and that makes us rich and gives us money = = =

= = = = == = = == = = = = = = = = = week 6 = =This week we have done dictation on volcanoes and i have that there were 5 different volcanoes the spatter cone the sheild the cinder cone the complex and the composate volcano=

[] = Week7 = =This week we have mostly learned about planets where they are whats inside them and satilites to show us pictures to acctually see the planets in real life.= ==

= week 8 = =This week we have done a test on the planets to see if we all new were they were and i got 2 wrong i mixed up uranis and neptune but everything else i dot right. After when we were correcting mr farrell showed us the coulors of the planets on a really good website it had every thing from the sun to the stars to the planets to the moons in space. also this week i have learnt that we only see 5% of the stars inthe sky and most stars ha planets around them and that we are only in 1 milky wat when there are hundreds out there.= = week9 = =this week we hvae done more of our portfolio project and i have learned that each day/year on other planets isn't the same as our days/yea and that each have their own day. (neptune year is smaller than its day)= = = = TOP QUESTION = =Q.Are we more dangourus to the earth than mother nature= =A. I think we are not because we don't cause most of the natural disasters we can't cause earth quakes, cyclones and many more. yes we may cause some bush fires but that doesn't mean we caused the whole lot.= media type="youtube" key="7u5APs_G2W0" height="385" width="480" =These are just a few of the natural disasters that have been caused and there are many more. Tornadoes:March 18th-20th 2003 from Texas to Georgia, March 27th 2003 6 tornadoes hit Florida. Floods:1997 April-May North Dakota Minnesota and Southern Manitob, 1993 America Midwest. Volcanoe:79AD pompii 24th August. Cyclone: 1899 4th March Queensland, 1780 North Atlantic. Thunderstorm:22nd March Pearth. Hurricane:May 16th-19th 1956 Barisal and Noakhali, May 9th Bagerhat and Khulna. And there are many many many many many more natural disasters all over the world. A **natural disaster** is the effect of a natural hazard (e.g. flood, tornado, hurricane, volcanic eruption, earthquake, or landslide) that affects the environment and human losses. The resulting loss depends on the capacity of the population to support the disaster. This understanding is concentrated in the formulation: "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability. A natural hazard will never result in a natural disaster in areas without vulnerability, e.g. strong earthquakes in abandoned areas. A **natural disaster** is the consequence of the combination of a **natural hazard** (a physical event like a volcanic eruption, an earthquake, a landslide ) and human activities.Only if humans are there where the hazard happens and if they have no sufficient emergency management, there will be human losses. Therefore one can say "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability " . A natural hazard will therefore have no natural disaster as a result in areas without vulnerability, that means if for example a strong earthquake is in deserted areas.Australia experiences a range of 'natural disasters' including bushfires, floods, severe storms, earthquakes and landslides.=

=In conclusion we have caused bush fires and drouts ect. but that doesn't add up to all the natural disasters in the world that have been caused by mother nature so I think mother nature causes most damage to our earth.=
