movement on the ocean floor that can result from an earthquake, an underwater landslide
A tsunami is a series of large waves generated by an abrupt
a volcanic eruption or - very rarely - a large meteorite strike. However, powerful undersea
earthquakes are responsible for most tsunamis
to keep on going. As the surface of the ocean heats up, the water goes up into the air
Moist air and heat are necessary for hurricanes to start and
This warm air becomes moist. It starts to form a column. The air around rushes toward
the column and forms a spiral around it. The system is called cyclone. As the column of
air becomes warmer, the winds blow faster. If the storm reaches
119 kph, a hurricane is
born. Hurricanes often cover areas up to 300 kilometers wide. They may last a few hours
or for two weeks. They cause heavy rains that swell
and overflow rivers. The strong winds
produce floods

3. Human activity is the main cause of climate change. People
bum fossil fuels and convert land from forests to agriculture. Buming fossil fuels produces
carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. It is called a greenhouse gas because it produces a
"greenhouse effect".
4. Whole-vear round typhoons occur. It is always good to prepare
for the coming of any typhoon as predicted. First and foremost, inspect your house if
necessary repair or fixing is needed. With this, cleaning up the house drainage system is
a must to avoid clogging up. Next, store an adequate supply of food and water good for
a few days. Everything in the should be put in an elevated position, especially those items
that generate electricity. Water should not penetrate into them in case floodwater rushes
into your house. Lastly, always keep flashlights, candies, batteries, and first aid supplies
5. Heat deep in the core of the Earth continually escapes toward
the surface. As the heat rises, it warm rock, which begin to rise slowly. This molten rock,
or magma, usually cools within. Sometimes, however, magma continues to push upward
It absorbs water in the ground and heats it to produce steam or gas. Gas- filled magma is
lighter and can rise through a series of channels toward the surface. When it reaches a
vent or opening in the surface it spews out. Magma that erupts from a vent is called lava
reaching temperature of more than 1000 degrees centigrade. When cooled the lava and
other materials, such as ash and rocks, build up to form the cone of a volcano.​
