Today, tens of thousands of earthquakes grace the Earth every year. Some of these are unnoticeable, while others were felt by many. There are, however, earthquakes so powerful and strong they destroyed entire cities, leaving hundreds of thousands of casualties and damages. These natural disasters reshaped history with the gravity of destruction in their wake. The series features facts about natural disasters that may happen at any time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s another beautiful day of your paradise vacation in South Asia. You look out onto a calm sea on this day after Christmas, already looking forward to ringing in 2005. But why is the ocean receding so far from shore? Are those fish flapping around in the sand? Something is not right. Your island getaway is about to be devastated with the 80-foot-plus waves of one of the worst tsunamis in history. The 2004 Asian Tsunami was the result of the second largest earthquake ever recorded. Lasting over eight minutes, it was also the longest on record. The quake measured 9.0 on the Richter scale, large enough to vibrate the entire planet, violent enough to move an ocean. Through eyewitness accounts and dramatic photography, the first chapter of Tsunamis puts you in the terrifying path of the wave that washed ashore in many countries. The tsunami wiped out whole communities and claimed an estimated 230,000 lives. Tsunamis explores the science, history, and personal experience of tsunamis and shows kids what scientists are doing to develop early warning systems so we can survive such disasters in the future.

Download or read book World s Worst Landslide Disasters for Kids An Encyclopedia of World s Worst Disasters for Kids Book 3 written by Jim Sapiro and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The planet is affected by several natural disasters everyday. Some of them are considered regular occurrences, especially minor ones that are not capable of causing significant damage to the affected areas. However, some are massive enough to cause widespread panic due to the severe destruction they inflicted. Landslides or landslips are among the deadliest natural disasters in the world. Landslides refer to several forms of masses - earth, rocks, debris, and other materials - that move down a steep slope. The Earth's surface is made up of many layers. When the top layer separates from the bottom, a landslide occurs as gravity pulls the loose layer downward. They can happen in various environments, including mountain ranges, coastal cliffs, or even underwater (submarine landslides) and outer space (extraterrestrial landslides). Over the years, there have been numerous costly and deadly landslides that plagued several communities. Some were even capable of burying entire towns and villages underground, leaving thousands of casualties in their wake. The series features facts about natural disasters that may happen at any time. Everyone should have an idea what to do before, during, and after a disaster.
