Social Science - Natural Disasters

IALA: How people are affected by natural disasters.
Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog!

Today, we have been learning about how we might think people are affected by natural disasters. And, also how they might feel after the disaster stops!
I haven't experienced a natural disaster before. But, if I was to be in someone else's shoes and a natural disaster happened - Honestly, I would be shocked not knowing what to do. Because, I haven't experienced it before.

During a natural disaster I would be so shocked, I wouldn't even be able to blink or move, because I don't know what's happening. I would start crying and thinking about how my family and friends are doing. Also, I wouldn't have anything with me like - Food, Clothes, Torch etc. Important things to take with me, so that I can survive.

After the natural disaster, I will feel relieved and still shocked.
Relieved - Because it has finished and I survived.
Shocked - I would still feel shocked, because the natural disaster just happened.
I would also start thinking about where I will go, where I will stay, and how will I rebuild a house. Thinking about the future, also - FOOD!.

Going through that just put me through a lot of stress,
and now I am starting to wonder about my family and friends, instead of thinking about me. And what I will need or be doing.

I think that the main message in this session was :
1. Have something prepared just in case of a natural disaster.
2. Think about you, before thinking about family. (Where will you stay?, where will you get your food from?).
3. Try avoid places that commonly has natural disasters.

This was a great lesson, and I can't wait to learn more about natural disasters.
THANKYOU! FOR READING!

The first thing I would take:
The first thing or object I will take is my little siblings, before everything.

Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog!

Today for science I have been researching about a Tsunami and how it occurs!
Quick Fun fact: Did you know that a Tsunami can rise up to 100 feet tall, depending on how strong it is? Wow!
If you don't how tall 100 feet is, it is the size of the statue if liberty.

In my definition:
A Tsunami is a huge tide generally caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or landslides. Tsunamis are also like rising sea levels. When tsunamis are near coastal lines, they tend to slow down and grow in height.

Web Definition:
A long, high sea wave caused by an earthquake or other disturbance.

Honestly, I am really scared of Tsunamis and I always think to myself 'Do we get Tsunami warnings?'
Actually, we do. There are Tsunami warning systems attached to buoys in the ocean, which signal to the satellite and for it to signal to our televisions. These warning systems are called 'Hydrophone'.

Also, to notice if a Tsunami is about to happen, you'll be able to see that the sea is starting to move back dramatically. This signals that the Tsunami will happen in a few seconds.

I am still researching about Tsunamis. : Stay update, so you can learn more about Tsunamis.

Something I found challenging during my research, was trying to find good websites that don't have too much information, but just enough for me to read. Something I can skim read through.

__
Funny fact:
I thought that, when a Tsunami happens - A huge tide just comes up and drops onto earth.


Besides this,
Have you learned anything about a Tsunami?
Do you have any questions? - So that I can research about it and tell you. !

This is the end of my blog and I hope you enjoyed!
