hello its madds
so this week we have been learning about explanation writing
so we had to choose out of some explanation stories I chose and explanation writing about tsunamis so I have spent some time over the week on making an explanation writing about tsunamis
the purpose of this text is to help people understand the steps of tsunamis and help them
also so they know signs of a tsunami coming
enjoy
What causes a tsunami?
We all need to know about tsunamis and how they are caused, we also need to know signs
that a tsunami is coming. Tsunamis aren't just a wave it's a massive wave that could ruin
our city. One time there was a tsunami 50 meters high, fun fact tsunamis can go up 50km/h
which’s as fast as a car goes around the city. This can be caused by an earthquake volcanic
eruption.
The first sign of a tsunami is coming is when animals like birds aren't around and
the tide is going in that’s when you should leave and not stay and watch it form and you will
get an early deduction system.
The second step is when the wave starts to form and come over, the back of the wave
\is way faster than the front, then it hits the coast you may want to go somewhere high
still don’t stand there and watch it’s really dangerous you will get dragged down to the
bottom.
The third step is where it drags back down into the deep sea end and stops
And we are all safe again. We want to stay up high until it's finished so you are safe.
The average height can be between 30 meters or 3 meters so stay up high until it’s
finished.
So tsunamis are not as safe as you thought. We need to get high and leave,
if you see a sign that a tsunami is coming leave as soon as possible.
