Earthquakes and Tsunamis

Earthquakes and Tsunamis Earthquakes and tsunamis are both caused by seismic waves caused by the friction of rubbing tectonic plates. Even though they may seem different they are actually very alike. You can learn more about them in this report. How Are Earthquakes Formed? Earthquakes are formed when two tectonic plates rub against each other. Because the edge of the plates are very rough and bumpy, they rub against each other producing seismic waves that make the ground shake and may cause cracks in the ground to form. The strongest ever recorded earthquake was in Chile, 1960, measuring 9.5 magnitudes. A earthquake of 11 magnitude would rip the earth into two. How Are Tsunamis Formed? Tsunamis are formed when u ndersea earthquakes, which typically occur at boundaries between Earth's tectonic plates, cause the water above to be moved up or down. Tsunamis are formed as the displaced water, which acts under the influence of gravity, attempts to find a stable position agai...

Hurricanes and Tornadoes

Hurricanes and Tornadoes Hurricanes and tornadoes are wind-based natural disasters. Find out more about what causes them in this report and how they are different. What Causes Hurricanes? When water condenses, it releases heat, warming the surrounding air. Usually, the heat released this way in tropical thunderstorms is carried away by wind shear, which blows the tops off the thunderstorms. But when there is little wind shear, the heat can build up, causing low pressure. This low pressure causes wind to spiral inward toward the center of the low. These winds help evaporate more water vapor, making the hurricane stronger. What Causes Tornadoes? Tornadoes form in unusually violent thunderstorms when there is sufficient (1) instability and (2) wind shear present in the lower atmosphere. Instability refers to unusually warm and humid conditions in the lower atmosphere, and possibly cooler than usual conditions in the upper atmosphere. Wind shear ...

A Non-Chronological Report About Plants

Plants Plants are living-things. They are important for animals and humans because without them, we wouldn't have oxygen to breathe and food to eat. How Do Plants Release Oxygen? Plants change 6 carbon dioxide molecules into 6 oxygen molecules through photosynthesis. The balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis is: 6 H 2 O + 6 CO 2 + Sunlight = C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 + Chlorophyll The glucose molecule (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) is used for energy. Chlorophyll is used to absorb sunlight energy so plants can go through photosynthesis. How Are Seeds Made? You probably know that plants need seeds to reproduce. But how do they make the seeds? First, there is a part of the plant that makes pol...
