Tsunami (Year 10, Geology).

In Science, I am learning about earth science
We are trying to make a model of a Tsunami

 The Equipment we need are:

  • big and long container 
  • Sand 
  • mud 
  • Newspaper 
  • Water
  • Little monopoly houses 

Here are our trial videos of us testing the Waves (And to test if it's the right amount of water for it to destroy the houses)

                                            What causes a Tsunami?
       A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor.
This sudden motion could be an earthquake, underwater landslide, huge volcanic eruption

A tsunami travels across the open ocean at great speeds and builds into large deadly waves in the shallow water of a shoreline.

How I solved the problem...


It was a Sunday morning at my work, I was working as a pizza delivery person and I would deliver pizza on my red moped. I was going out to deliver a few pizzas around the neighbourhood, I come across a red light and stop wounder to myself "There is always something happening to every single person in the world".


 I come to a stop at a second red light seeing the group of girls, And a mother and her baby walk past and then a little kid trying to run to cross but doesn't make it so he turns around to wait until it's safe to cross the road again. The light turns green again, I speed off noticing an old man sitting on the sidewalk with his walking stick and two of the same trucks driving past me. All of sudden I hear a riotous noise out of nowhere sounding like someone had crashed, Boom
I teleport back in time watching the group the girls and the mother and the kid that turned around halfway then the light turns green I speed off again wondering somethings bads about to happen.


 I pass the same old guy and then I watch the first green truck go by then I watch the second go by but then my eye catches the driver of the second truck fast asleep I quickly turn around in panic I speed up to drivers window yelling"WAKE UP,  WAKE UP ALREADY" The knockout driver lets go of the steering wheel then the big heavy truck starts to weave left to right then I try to smash the window open but it was too late. I crashed head-on going over my handlebars In mid-air, of my crash, the time slows down and I'm saying to my self "why did I try to become a hero". I felt like I was the
 biggest failure ever...

Next day I woke up in the hospital, I look right and I see my good friend Driaan beside me just steering at me, I jolt up steering right back saying "Umm I know I was dumb to interfere"... To be continued

Some questions to answer for fast finishers

 
Discuss the idea of mythology/ stories in religion?

What is the difference between Maori beliefs and English beliefs?
