🌪️ Natural Disasters 🌪️
WALT: Research about natural disasters
Greetings and welcome back to my Blog.
Today in the last block we had an Inquiry lesson with Miss Komor. Our Task was to search questions on Google and read some articles. We came up with questions like what is a natural disaster? and how do natural disasters happen?.
I researched a lot of questions but I mainly got onto the topic of Typhoons. For those of you that don't know what it is a Typhoon is a tropical storm that is usually around the Indian and Pacific Ocean. A Typhoon is similar to a Cyclone or a Hurricane. There is a list of countries that get hit the most Typhoons and they were recorded since modern satellites came out. 
10. Cuba - Hurricane season: June 1 - November 30 ( September and October with the most storms formed.) Strongest Hurricane: 1942 Cuba Hurricane was located in West Cuba with winds as strong as 165 miles per hour with 90 deaths.
9. Madagascar - Cyclone season: November 15 - April 30 ( High activity in February.) Strongest Cyclone: 2004 Cyclone Gafilo had winds as strong as 155 miles per hour and was the cause of 237 deaths
8. Vietnam - Typhoon season: All year round. Strongest Typhoon: Many Typhoons like Lola in 1993, Zack in 1995, Agnes in 1984 and many more have reached winds that went 155 miles per hour.
