= week one = = on week one i learnt all about the different disasters and what counterys are effected by them.Some volcanos are found in Iceland, New Zeland and Japan. Earth quakes can happen around China.Tsunamis can happen in Thailand. = = = = week **two** = = This week i learnt about disaster and how they are caused. Tsunamis are huge waves, when they get closer to shore the tsunami slows down but it is still very dangerous. There are a lot of different types of disasters like tornados, earthquakes,volcanos,sand storm,storms,sink holes, bush fires and tsunami. I think the most dangerous natural disaster is earthquakes because it can kill a lot of people and houses and buildings get destroyed and the more it shakes the more buildings and houses get destroyed. =


 * week four **

**This week i learnt that richta scales are used to classify earth quakes the higher the number is on the richta scale the more the earth quake will shake and the more dangerous it will be. Numbers for the richter scale range from 0 to 9, though no real upper limits exists. An earth quake whose magnitude is greater than 4.5 on the scale can cause damage to buildings and other structures. The famous San Francisco earth quake of 1906 was 7.8 on the richta scale.**

**Week five**



**There are 7 layers.**


 * 1) crust
 * 2) upper mantle
 * 3) Transition regions
 * 4) lower mantle
 * 5) D"layer
 * 6) outer core
 * 7) inner core

The inner core is a solid section of the earth.

The earth is surrounded by a blanket of air called the atmosphere. The atmosphere is made up of various gases that acts as the protective shield for the earth that allows life to exist. The atmosphere consists of five layers, held around the planet by the force of gravity. The layers are .. Exosphere Thermosphere Mesosphere Stratosphere Troposphere
 * Week six **

Although the atmosphere extends to a height of 1000 km, it is nevertheless still very important for life on the surface of the earth!


 * Week seven **

One way the earth is affected by the solar system is by the solar flares. Solar flares are explosions of electramagnetic energy traveling at the speed of light.
