Natural Disasters

The Earthquake and an explanation on

MountainsJacinta8D

Today's earthquake destroyed

many houses and

buildings…

Earthquakes are terrible! Especially if

you get caught in one.

Through this special

presentation I will guide you through as I

explain about our topic; landforms.

Next!

Can you see me?

Am I too far?Am I too

near?Am I in focus?

I mean uh-

This is a mountain

range, where you can

obviously see many

mountains.

Now, click the obviously

drawn mountain in

the back.

Hey Where did you go?!There you are!

Where’s the background?

Much better!

Now back here behind me is a

very pretty mountain

range!

This mountain is called the

Tatra Mountain.

Mountains are the really high

landforms.

They are bigger than

hills, plateaus,

…and well, plains.

Mountains can be described

by the following features:

1. High2. Jagged

skyline3. Steep

slopes

4. Deep valleys

5. High local reliefs

If you still don’t

understand, I still have one explanation

that can help.

“A mountain is an elevated part of the

earth’s surface, often

rising abruptly.”

Let’s move on to Tectonic

plates.

I don’t need make-up right?

I mean uh-Alright! Tectonic

plates!

Here’s a little picture I found

in the web.

But let’s explain it in a way my imagination

thought it was.

Let’s say we’re deep

underground, and you are not wondering how I’m surviving in

this environment.

Alright, now I always

imagined tectonic plates as well, plates.

DINNER PLATES

!

Now let’s say these dinner-

I mean-

Tectonic plates accidentally

bumped each other.

From here, it looks like no BIG deal, but from above…

Above…

Total and complete EVIL destruction!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

I meant-Let me

explain this back in my…IMAGINATION!

Imagination!

EarthGlobe

Now you see

Tectonic plates are all about

LOCATIONLOCATIONLOCATION

You see, the earth’s rocky

surface is called the

crust.

It is divided into plates,

which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle!

You remember

this?

This is where all the

Tectonic plates are on

a map.

Like this globe I broke.

And when the edges of two plates grip each

other,

The plates cannot

move. If they shift

suddenly,

An earthquake happens, causing terrible

damage!

Like This.

No matter how bad it gets, we

get used to these things. Even the

destruction!

But it doesn’t matter!

That’s mother EARTH!

Ouch!That map is VERY hard to make!

These are where the

Tectonic Plates are on a map

Here are some very

expensive animation

movements-

Showing where the

Tectonic Plates move.

This better be worth it! I’m wasting my allowance!

Neat eh?Here’s the KEY

KEYPlate boundaries

Direction plate is moving in

You see,Plates are

large areas of land that

‘float’

On the liquid rock

underneath.

So even if there is an earthquake remember…

THAT’S MOTHER EARTH!

The Rising Rocks of

the mountains

!

Many mountains

form in areas where plates push against each other.

The moving plates squeeze

the land up, creating

mountains.

Like this.

The moving plates can

cause cracks in the crust into blocks

and some rise up to form

fault mountains.

Let’s say this is continent A.

A

Let’s say this is continent B.

B

…and they push, like this.

The forms A & B, push

towards each other,

Causing the form to move

up.

That makes a mountain!

And presto…MOUNTAIN!

Drawing Board

Let’s summarize

what we have learnt.

We learned about

mountains!

…and that mountains are bigger than hills,

Plateaus,And plains.

We learned what

happens when

Tectonic Plates-

Bump each other.

Misery for a city near by.

We also learned that

Tectonic Plates are like puzzle pieces of

earth.

Like this globe I broke.Remember?

We also learned how mountains

were formed!

The movement of two tectonic

plates or continents

moving together

causing the middle to move up.

But what is TRULY

important for viewers to remember

is…EARTHQUAKES ARE NOT CAUSED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE ABLE TO

MANIPULATE EARTH!

MAKE SURE YOU REMEMBER THAT.

With all that you are able

to remember anything

about earthquakes!

ATLEAST ALL I KNOW!
