** HELLO PEOPLE THIS IS MY PAGE AND IT ROXX What do I know about the Earth?: -The earth is spherical -it's surface is over 60% water media type="custom" key="6051535" width="170" height="170"media type="youtube" key="zQb_lYKoCL4" height="385" width="480" Week 2 Q. What is a disaster?/ What are different types of disasters?

A. In my opinion there are two types of disasters. There are natural and man made. Man Made Disasters: I think man made disasters are disasters that humans caused and could have been avoided.They can also vary in scale, the colapsing of the world trade centre (911) and the holocaust are definately disasters, but in a way dropping a pencil or cutting a finger are also disasters. Basically if it affects someone in a negative and sometimes FATAL way, it is a disaster, but that's just according to me.

Natural Disasters: I think natural disasters are disasters, as their name suggests, caused by nature. These can also vary in size and scale but always cause serious damage, it just depends on how much. Some disasters can destroy cities while others can shake entire countries! and then there are the ones that only destroy a house, like the sink hole in the simpsons movie.

Q. What natural disaster do you think is the most dangerous?

A. I believe volcanoes are the most deadly disaster. because a newly forming one can destroy buildings because the ground is rising. Also there is basically no way to escape one, in the air smoke will clog plane engines and on the ground the lava will desintegrate you instantly and the ash if it is inhaled will DESTROY your lungs. ** **Info on volcanoes** **:** There are 3 stages of a volcano, **Active:** when they can erupt regularly. ** Dormant: when they still have a magma supply but not much, they will erupt eventually but not until their magma chamber is full. Extinct: when they have run out of magma and have no connection to fill the chamber and will never erupt again. Volcano species': Shield volcanoes: Reflection: I have learn't nothing, I did no research this week to learn the above, I was using the habit of the mind 'applying past knowledge to new situations.'
