Dangerous of Earth
YanıtlaSilThe world has natural deserts so much.There are two main types of natural diseaster.First violent storms , second under the earth.They are bad event for human and animals because they damage to homes, trees, so all of them.Violent storms bring heavy rain and strong winds.All of the rain can cause floods.Mediterranen is famous about flood in my country.Everyspring is flood in Mediterranen.Many homes , cars ,and officies are damaged by flood.Other violent storms; hurricanes , cyclones, or typhoons.A hurricane is famous in Atlantic Ocean and the eastern Pasific Ocean .Second under the earth events;earthquake and volcano.In 1999, there was a major Marmara earthquake .It killed more than 500.000 people and many buildings destroyed.People last their homes.Earthquake cause to tsunami.It is a huge wall of water that hits the shore suddenly.Eruptions from volcanos alsı occur as the result of movements under the earth.It sends smoke and lava out of the ountain and the air.It is dangerous.Second reading;It is possible to prodict natural diseasters because animals feel from before earthquakes.They begin to act strangely.It is different.Animals do not always behavior strange.Some countries are learned what to do in a diseaster and to understand the warning signs of a diseaster, but we do not prevent.It is terrible damage and loss of our life.Govermnts should get strong buildings.Third reading;there are outer space events;asteroids and meteoroids.They sometimes hit to Earth.Meteoroids can be small as a few feet wide.Astroids are bigger and can be almost 600 miles wide.World has atmosphere.If they enter Earth's atmosphere , they start to burn.The impact of a very large astreoid creates a lot of dust and gas above the Earth.This cloud of dust and gas can block the light from the sun.Without the light from the sun, plants connot live.Without plants,all the animals will also die.Earth balance breaks.I learned a lot somethings.

Since the beginning of time,people had always aware of the dark side of nature.The dark side of nature is called natural disasters because a lot of natural disasters can cause some severe injures and significant damage.Natural disasters must be important because it repeats over and over ,i think the first and the most important event of moving under the earth.This event is called earthquake.As far as i remember in the past few years a lot of people in Chine past away because of earthquake.It is inevitable that earthquake is deadly and it could be defined as a dangerous process.The second event of extreme weather events,such as,violent storms etc.The most severe violent storms begin over oceans.There are called hurricanes or thphoons.These events can cause damage.Also,these events names depend on their location.As a result,natural disaster has a lot of disadvantages.The second part is very important because the prediction and prevention of natural disasters is vital for human lives.There were a lot of natural disasters all over the world and these events caused some damages.These damages are called money and death.As far as i know a lot of scientists took some precaution in past but people did not know when an earthquake is coming.After that,some people believe that many animals began to behave strangely,i believe that people have extra ability for knowing an earthquake but some animals know it during earthquake.However,researches have not proven that.Nowadays,people have found some earthquake equipments.One of them is a warning system.Some people say that a warning system can signal before a disaster occurs.As far as i read according to a research,eighty percent of people teach their children what to do in a disaster and to ubnderstand the warning signs of a disaster when the children between the ages of 0-6 to learn a healthily life for them.People do that because using a warning system has many benefits for them.These benefits are very important concepts of people's lives.The top two of these benefits are living healthily and not being dead.The overall message of the text is protection of natural disasters.Is a warning system enough for protection of natural disasters?In my opinion,it is not enough because people do not have enough time during an earthquake.Some people think that some objects from outer space will hit earth but i think,it is not possible.This event is complicated process.People do not know about it.Nowadays,some scientists say that a lot of objests from outer space will hit earth.This is the reason why life will finish in the earth but this event did not happen.Thus,i do not believe it.In the light of the things that have been mentioned above,natural disasters are of high importance for people and people should take some precautions.

YanıtlaSilPeople always struggle to the natural disaster,because someone can not prevent their.Every time it will become our lives.The dark side of nature means that people’s life effected is both positive and negative.Such as,natural events can cause injuries and death.Also it damage nature.For example,builds destroy and cities submerge.Eartquakes,hurricanes,tsunamis,typhoon and floods are the most dangerous natural disasters and they will never prevent.During the history,too many People dead in natural disaster or stayed homeless ,but we use technology and it constantly improve.Technology can use for preventing natural disaster and we can estimate before it happens.For example,in 2004 in japan,a tsunami happened and very little people died ,because japan had a earthquake system and everybody was warned by it.Apart from that education may be crucial for to prevent natural disaster at least people can harm less.Also some people believe that animals can know when earthquake is coming ,but most scientist believe that it is so hard situation.Besides some people worry that objects from outer space will hit earth ,because it cause many natural disasters on earth .Falling stars are so far away from the world and because of this falling star,asteroids and meteoroids hit Earth.This situation affect the surface. So various disaster occur and it has incredible energy.In history,people created so dangerous bombs to take advantage of this.For example,atomic bomb and nuclear bombs.These cause unbelievable effect thrown the region.After throwing the bomb,a massive explosion happen and afterwards this place heat extreme.As a conclusion,I can say that natural disasters is not prevented by people ,but it can estimate and we must learn with natural disasters.

First paragraph is about the dark side of nature.The dark side of nature is the worst for people because many people die or injured.There are two types of natural disaster.First,extreme weather events.Second,some natural disasters.Examples of these;violent storms,earthquake and the eruption of volcanoes etc.I remember Marmara Earthquake in Turkey,a lot of people died and injured and many people affected by earthquake because earthquake was very violent.Therefore almost all the Marmara was destroyed by earthquake.Another example is about flood.Flood is large and irregular water flows.In recent years,Turkey has heavy rain so many cities were flooded.As an example,in Samsun many people effected by flood because channel overflowed due to raining more.Nine person died and a lot of people injured.Second paragraph is about the prediction and prevention of natural disasters.I think some animals feel before the natural disaster and they change movements.However,some scientist do not believe feelings of animals therefore many governments set up warning system.This system can tell people before the natural disaster.Thereby many people survive.For example,in 2004 location is in Indonesia.Unfortunately,all of people died who live by the ocean because there was not warning system therefore, there were no survivors.Third paragraph is about a natural disaster from outer space.Some people do not believe in objects from the sky but nowadays many meteorite falls in the world.For example it dropped soon Ordu in Turkey.The reason for this some rocks were shattered atmosphere by people.
