Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes destroyed as a result of an earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon when habitants of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned as soon as the earth began to shake. As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. The fire engines were prevented from going to help because many of the roads had cracked open. It was impossible to use fire fighting equipment as most of the water pipes had burst. Consequently, over ninety percent of the damage was caused by fire rather than by the collapse of buildings. 1.

Check the mirrors in your bathroom and bedroom. Make sure they can’t move. Don’t put your bed next to a window. Planning where you are going to be during an earthquake is very important. The first thing to remember is to stay inside. Then you should sit under a strong table or doorway, or stand in the corner of a room. 1. What should we do if we live in an earthquake zone? 2.

In the 1960s, a huge tidal wave hit Anchorage, Alaska. The tidal wave traveled from Alaska to California! Typhoons: When a tropical storm reaches 120 kilometers per hour, it is called a hurricane in North and South America, a cyclone in Australia, and typhoon in Asia. The word “ typhoon” come from Chinese: “tai” means “ big” and “ feng” means “ wind”, so the word “ typhoon” means “ big wind”. Volcanoes: We can usually predict when a volcano will erupt.
