Severe Weather

Severe Weather Project 

3 things I learned on the video

• Tornado is a fast-spinning air that stretches all the way from thunderstorm.
• Severe weather any dangerous act of nature fueled by changes in the atmosphere
• Blizzard- storms with blowing or falling snow
• Droughts- cause wet lands to dry up and fewer plant life

3 wonders from the video

• Where can animals go when theres a drought?
• What is the geosphere?
• Where are mudslides the most popular?

What questions do you wonder when you see these pictures?

1. In the 3rd picture how would you get a car out that is stuck in the cracked ground?

2. In the 7th picture how did all those cars get stuck on the road like that? Shouldn't they have been off the road.

3. In the 5th picture what kind of weather would case that?

4. In the 1st picture how did they get so close and move quick enough away from the tornado before it hit near them?

How do these pictures make you feel? Explain…

These pictures make me feel very scared because the weather looks very dangerous. What happens if you can't evacuate in time and get stuck in one of the storms and are unable to get out for a few days. 

Pick one of the pictures that interests you: ___1___

Why did you pick this picture?

I picked this picture because I think it's amazing how a whirl of wind like this can cause so much damage. It moves so fast but it destroys so many things and it only happens in a few states so it isn't that popular where we live. Some tornados start out as very small and can get bigger over time as they move throughout the areas.

Things I wonder from Thinglink:

1. Where are floods most common?

2. Can different types of movement in the earth cause specific natural disasters?

3. Why are tsunami's so common in Japan?

Thing I learned from Thinglink:

1. $1.7 trillion in damages due to natural disasters 

2. As tsunami waves travel through the ocean they are not very strong, but gain strength are they approach the shore. 

3. Natural disasters fall into three different categories; those caused by movements of the earth, weather related disasters, and floods, mudslides, landslides, and famine.
