Watery Disasters!

1. Which two articles did you read?

Earthquake hits Japan and Indonesia, but no Tsunami; Hurricane Ike pushes sea onto Texas island

2. What is the first article about?

How 2 separate earthquakes hit off the coasts of Japan and Indonesia, but neither produced damaging waves, and there were no reports of damages.

3. What is the second article about?

Flood waters that came onto an
island, and could possibly flood many homes, causing death.

4. Which disaster was more disastrous?

The flood waters.

5. Compare and contrast the two disasters.

They both are aqueous natural disasters that can become very dangerous. The first article included earthquakes that didn't cause tsunamis, and the second article had to do with flooding.

I agree. An earthquake that causes a tsunami can be much more disastrous. Your blog looks great so far! Keep up the good work.
