Summary:

   Natural disasters are disasters that come from nature itself. These include: Tsunamis, wildfires, hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes, floods, etc. These occur due to climate, climate changes, vegetation, environment, weather, landscape, and human-environment interaction. They can also happen because of things in the atmosphere/air, and from space. For example, tsunamis can form from a meteoroid hitting the ocean, These are the reasons why some states in America are prone to these natural disasters and some aren't. Some states have these conditions while others don't. 


SP8: Obtain, Evaluate, and Communicate Information:

   This week, I obtained data from my research on Natural Disasters for my Presentation on the Safest Place in America Project. My research included: Describing the Natural Disaster, Where they occurred geographically, and on what conditions does this natural disaster form and why they form. The last thing I put on my research is filling in and coloring which states are prone to these natural disasters. I evaluated the validity of my work by checking two sites that had the same information, and both were last updated just recently and getting my research sheets approved by the teacher which means that my research is valid. Then, I communicated my work by sharing my data that I found with my team, and discussing the information each of us found.
