**Welcome to Tania's Disasters**
=**Week 2: **= =What is a disaster? = =A disaster is a terrible event. People experience lots of disasters, and they can be simple, or drastic. A disaster can be caused by anything. = =**What is a natural disaster? **= =A natural disaster is caused by nature, and humans have no control over them. e.g. tsunami, flood, drought, volcano, cyclone, earthquake etc. = =What are the different types of natural disasters? = = = =**Which natural disaster do you believe is the worst and why? **= =Volcanoes, but other things like tsunamis, earthquakes and cyclones, can also be as bad. I think that they could all be bad in their different way. = = = = = =**Week 4: **= = **What do we use to classify disasters and how are they measured? ** = =There are 5 levels to classify disasters, according to how they affect the area and people, level 1 being simply the threat of disaster and level 5 destruction on a large scale. = = = =**Week 5: **= =**What are the layers of earths structure? **= =The inner core is a ball of solid metal at the very centre of the earth. It is surrounded  **by liquid metal, which is known as the outer core. Then over the top of the core, is the inner mantle. The inner mantle is followed by the outer mantle. The mantle holds the magma, and if it explodes, it would hold the lava. Finally, there is the crust, the top layer. The earth's crust is a thin layer of rock. It is extremely important, simply because we are living on it.** = =<span style="color: #d7917d; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 25px; font-weight: 800; line-height: 37px;">What resources do we use from beneath the earth? =

The moon's orbit around the earth lasts roughly a month giving us different levels of light. The sun gives us light and it allows things to grow. It also gives us heat, we could die from lack of heat. =

If it takes slower to move, then it is much less dangerous, as people have more time to get away. =
