In many parts of the world floods are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons.
They bring destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the
destruction to the surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away
by water pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad tracks and buckles are uprooted from their beds.
Highways are washed away. When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze.
Before the pumps were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they
formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from hand to
hand to be poured on the flames.

The damage of fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small
village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks
and neighborhoods before being controlled.

Tsunami

Tsunami occurs when major fault under the ocean floor suddenly slips. The displaced rock pushes water
above it like a giant paddle, producing powerful water waves at the ocean surface. The ocean waves
spread out from the vicinity of the earthquake source and move across the ocean until they reach the
coastline, where their height increases as they reach the continental shelf, the part of the earth crust
that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor up to the land.

A tsunami washes ashore with often disastrous effects such as severe flooding, loss of lives due to
drowning and damage to property.

A tsunami is a very large sea wave that is generated by a disturbance along the ocean floor. This
disturbance can be an earthquake, a landslide, or a volcanic eruption. A tsunami is undetectable far out
in the ocean, but once it reaches shallow water, this fast traveling wave grows very large.

3. Tsunami happens because ....

4. What are the impacts of tsunami?

A. The part of the Earths crust that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor down to the land

B. A tsunami washes ashore with often disastrous effects such as flooding and loss of lives

All human beings eat food and make use of the chemical energy in it, so do all other animals.
Perhaps you wonder where all that chemical energy comes from. Why doesnt the food all get used up?
The answer is that new food is being grown as fast as old food is used to. It is the green plants that form
the new food. Animals either eat the plants or eat other animals that have eaten plants.

The green substance of plants is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll can absorb sunlight. When it does so, it
changes the energy of the sun into chemical energy. The chemical energy present in sunlit chlorophyll is
used to combine dioxide in the air with water from the soil. Starch and other complicated compounds are
formed. These are high in chemical energy obtained from the sunlit chlorophyll.

They make up the food on which mankind and all other animals live. In the process of forming
this food, some oxygen atoms are left over. These are given off into the air by the plants. The whole
process is called photosynthesis. Thus, plants use sunlight to from food and oxygen to from carbon
dioxide and water again. Plants change the suns energy into chemical energy. And animals change the
animal energy into kinetic and heat energy.
