Earthquake notes


I learnt that Tornadoes can get up to 170 mph and that if tornadoes occur you should go under low ground.
One thing that I learnt off my PowerPoint was that the Japan earthquake got up to about 8.9. I always thought you could fell any type of earthquakes but soon learnt you can’t.
Tsunamis can wipe out a whole city just like the Japan one did.
Did you know that an avalanche can reach up to a speed of 30-70 miles per hour and was also used as a weapon in World War 1?
 When tectonic plates need to move they cause an earthquake like Christchurch has had in recent years.
Most Tsunamis kill 300 plus people as the one did over in Japan.
First off I never knew what a typhoon was but now know it’s a huge storm that can wipe put a whole city.  
 I also learnt that a hurricane is made out of water and wind
