What Is A Natural Disaster?

If you didn't know what an Natural Disaster is, well here I am going to tell you! So a Natural Disaster is not man made, and what I mean by ¨Man made¨ I am referring to human. A Natural Disaster is naturally made, because of the Earthś movement. But I believe that humans are contributing to some of the Natural Disasters we have on Earth.

How Does A Tsunami Happen?


Have you ever wondered how does a Tsunami happen? Well your in luck cause today I am going to tell you!

The reason Tsunami happens is because of the ocean due to a recent Earthquake. A Tsunami is a series of waves  formed by the sudden movements of the ocean because of a Earthquake, Landslides and a Major Volcanic Eruption. Now let me tell you how they affect a Tsunami, so the landslide is on the seafloor because the land slump to the ocean floor, and the same thing to a Major Volcanic Eruption.

Are Human Actions Contributing To Why Tsunami Exist?

No, because an Earthquakes is a natural thing that the Earth does. And an Landslide is natural just like an Earthquake, well but Landslides are created because of an Earthquake, so those are connected. An a Major Volcanic Eruption is normal as well because everyone knows that a Volcano erupting is a very normal thing that happens, it's just what Volcanoes do.

How Did Tsunami Gets Its Name?

Tsunami is a Japanese word, that mean Harbor wave. Tsu in Japanese stands for Harbor, and Nami in Japaneses means Wave. When you put them both together you get Tsunami.

  1. It's interesting that you think humans are contributing to some of the natural disasters. Which natural disasters do you think humans contribute to? What are humans doing to contribute to natural disasters?
    Remember that all posts should have an eye-catching image. What image could you have used for this post?
    After reading your post I wonder if there is a connection between Tsunami's and Earthquakes 🤔
    It's great that you made the connection between Landslides and Earthquakes.
    I wonder what other natural disasters have a connection?🤔

    QUESTION: How did Tsunami get it's name?
