NATURAL DISASTERS BY JOHN RUSSELL
Natural disasters take many different forms and can
happen without warning. Earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, drought, typhoons and
hurricanes are all natural disasters. The earthquake of 26 December 2004 resulted in one of
the worst natural disasters in living memory. It was a massive underwater quake
and occurred in the Indian Ocean . It destroyed
coastlines and communities and brought death and destruction to many people.
Thousands of people were killed as the wave travelled miles across the ocean to
distant beaches. Whole families were swept out to sea or drowned as the sea
invaded the land. The survivors need fresh water , food and shelter as well as
medical help. People from al over the world are giving money so that towns and
villages can be rebuilt.
Why do earthquakes happen ?
The surface of the earth has not always looked as it
does today; it is moving continuously ( although very slowly ) and has done so
for billions of years. This is one cause of earthquakes, when one section the
earth collides with another .Scientists can predict where this might happen and
the area between plates is called a fault line. On one fault line in Kobe , Japan
Where do volcanoes
happen?
Volcanoes happen where the earth` s crust is thin _ lava, dust and gases burst out from beneath the earth . They can rise into a massive cone shape _ like a mountain _ and erupt or they can be so violent that they just explode directly from the earth with no warnings. There are 1, 511 active` volcanoes in the world This means that they may still be dangerous. In 1985 the massive Colombian volcano Nevado del Ruiz erupted. The lava melted a glacier and sent tons of mud down the town of
Can we predict
earthquakes and volcanoes?
Natural disasters like volcanoes are often unpredictable. We do not know when they might happen, or even where they will happen. In the future , scientists may be able to watch and predict events before thy happen . This could save many lives. In
Which is the
most dangerous natural
disaster?
All the disasters mentioned above are very dangerous and continue to kill thousands of people each year, but they are nowhere near the most dangerous disaster to ever happen on earth. One type of event in the earth’s history has regularly killed millions of beings: asteroid impacts. About once million years the earth is hit by a piece of rock and ice from space large enough to cause massive destruction and sometimes to kill entire species.
Sixty-five million years ago more than half the earth’s species were killed bysuch an impact (including all the dinosaurs). Disasters on the earth may seem dangerous, but the biggest threat to humans is likely to come from space.
What is the difference between a hurricane and a
tornado?
Hurricanes are extremely strong storms often happen in
the Caribbean . They cause high winds , huge
waves, and heavy flooding and can be hundreds of miles across. In 1998,
Hurricane Gilbert produced 160
mile an hour winds. It killed 318 people, and destroyed
much of Jamaica USA
Can too much
rain cause problems…
Roods happen in many countries after very heavy
rainfall. When rain pours for weeks at time ,rivers overflow and people and
property can be trapped or simply washed away. Since 1998, more than 30 people
have drowned in floods in Britain Bangladesh
Another kind of natural disaster is a drought. This happens when there is no water _ when it doesn’t rain for along time and rivers dry up. Plants, animals and even humans die as a result of drought, for we all need water to live. Many countries today suffer from drought. This causes crops to fail, animals to die and sadly, people to starve.

Listen to the text about the flood and put the events
(A-F) in the right order.
F L O O D
Flood is a body of water that covers normally dry
land. Most floods are harmful. They may destroy homes and other property and
even carry off the topsoil, leaving the land barren. Sudden and violent floods, which leave little time to prepare, may bring
huge losses. Rivers, lakes or seas may flood the land. River floods are more
common, though lake and seacoast floods can be more serious
However, sometimes floods may be helpful. For example,
the yearly floods of the Nile River built up the plains of Egypt and made the Nile Valley
These floods brought fertile soil from lands far to
the south and deposited the soil on the Egyptian plains.
Most rivers overflow their normal channels about once
every to years. When a river overflow land where people live, it causes a
flood. Common cases of river floods include too much rain at one time and
sudden melting of snow and ice.
Under such conditions , rivers may receive more than
10 times as much water as their beds can hold. Heavy rains, sometimes from
thunderstorms, can produce flash floods
if small rivers or streams rise suddenly and overflow. Flash floods occur
chiefly in mountains areas and do not allow much time for people to be warned
of danger.
A flash flood at Rapid
City , South Dakota
In 1993 heavy rains in Midwest for about to months
resulted in flooding along the upper Mississippi
and the Missouri river system. The flood
caused about 15 billion USD worth of damage and forced about 75,000 people from
their homes.
The Huang He (the Yellow River) in China China Huang He
flood ever recorded occurred in 1887. Nearly a million of people died in Chine
after the river overflowed its banks.

FLOODS IN CENTRAL
EUROPE
Following the period of heavy rainfall, water levels
have risen dramatically. Mountain rivers have already flooded hundreds of
villages and the big rivers of the region (1)_ the same any minute. The moment
waster level (2)_ above “danger level”, the people from the areas bordering the
rivers(3)_.
Tonight, an emergency task force set up by five
countries of the region. (4)_ a possible aid plan for the flooded areas. They
have been co-ordinating all the rescue operations: 2,500 rescue teams,
including psychologists, (5)_ by the end of this week. The psychologists (6)_
the most distressed families to offer counseling and help develop effective
stress-coping strategies.
However, the
most important things now are food and water. The rescue operation co-ordinator
said today: “Fresh waster(7)_ be provided to the flooded areas to prevent
water- borne diseases from spreading. If we (8)_ people save water and flood,
we (9)_be facing an epidemic very soon”
Experts
say that the flood (10)_ prevented after the disaster that struck this part of Europe in 1997. An anonymous expert said today: “The
flood (11)_ predicted_ it was clear from meteorological evidence that very
heavy and long – lasting rain (12)_ over central Europe. I think people (13)_
warned and it was certainly possible to introduce more protection measures. If
this (14)_ done , we (15)_ at least some of the tragedy.
