My presentation on natural disasturs
A long high sea wave caused by an earthquake or other disturbance. Tsunamis are formed as a result of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides that occur under the sea. When these events occur under the water, huge amounts of energy are released as a result of quick upward bottom movement. For example, if a volcanic eruption occurs, the ocean floor may very quickly move upward several hundred feet. When this happens, huge volumes of ocean water are pushed upward and a wave is formed. A large earthquake can lift thousands of square kilometres of sea floor, which will cause the formation of huge waves. The Pacific Ocean is especially prone to tsunamis.
A storm is a violent disturbance of the atmosphere with strong winds and usually rain, thunder, lightning, or snow. Thunderstorms are formed by the uplifting of warm and humid air. There are many factors that lead to the uplifting of air, for example, solar heating; in the vicinity of low pressure troughs; when two different air streams meet; or when air is forced uphill.
When humid air is lifted, it will be cooled and the moisture in the air will condense to form cloud. Upon further uplifting, the cloud will extend higher. Water droplets in the cloud continue to grow in size. As the cloud extends further upward, ice crystals may form because of low temperature there. A cumulonimbus cloud results when it grows to a height of 10 to 20 kilometres. Thunderstorms are produced by cumulonimbus clouds.

Hurricane
A hurricane is a storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean. Hurricanes begin as tropical storms over the warm moist waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans near the equator. (Near the Philippines and the China Sea, hurricanes are called typhoons.) As the water from the ocean evaporates it rises until enormous amounts of heated moist air are twisted high in the atmosphere. The winds begin to circle counter clockwise north of the equator or clockwise south of the equator. The relatively peaceful centre of the hurricane is called the eye. Around this centre winds move at speeds between 74 and 200 miles per hour. As long as the hurricane remains over waters of 79F or warmer, it continues to pull moisture from the surface and grow in size and force. When a hurricane crosses land or cooler waters, it loses its source of power and its wind gradually slow until they are no longer of hurricane force less than 74 miles per hour.

MY FIRST TRIP TO LONNDON
my alarm, I rose out of my soft bed with the sun in my face. Now wondering what was going to happen the next adventurous day. I ran downstairs as fast as a Cheta with lots of excitement. I suddenly bumped into the kitchen and was greeted with the smell of fried eggs and sizzling salt fish with a glass of orange juice at the side of my plate. The delicious smell of the magnificent food motivated me to eat all of it. I suddenly remembered that this was my travel day to England, so I rushed to finish up my breakfast as time was running out.
I quickly ran upstairs packed my bags, had a bath, put on my clothes and headed towards the jeep. My dad and I speeded to the airport. As soon as the jeep came to a stop, I jumped out and took my bags to the Check in Counter. Going through the security check I thought that was hell, for they touched my body all over. It did not end there, for I had to take off my shoes and belt. My pants immediately dropped down as I took off my belt. “Oh God” I said as I quickly tried to hold my pants before dropping. The security sharply looked at me and said, “Are you a jail bird? Please for heaven sake wear proper clothing.”
We sat in the departure longue and waited for the plane to arrive. As the plane arrived I noticed that it was a small plane. My heart went “bup” for I wondered how I would manage, as I feared for my safety. I boarded the plane, took a seat and waited for the plane to take off. As the plane lifted off I looked out of the window and quickly tried to see if I saw my house and family. I waved until I could not see either of the two.
A few minutes later we arrived in Nevis. We got out of the plane and got into another plane leaving for St.kitts. “What a Mary Go Around,” I mourned to my father, for we still had to arrive in Antigua to catch the plane to England. As soon as we reached St.kitts, I said, “One more to go.” Antigua was our final Caribbean destination and as we got there I saw a huge white and blue plane named British Airways. My dad and I were excited so we both ran up the long flight of stairs. When I got into the plane, I thought it was a house as I said “Wow” and went to our seats. The seats felt so comfortable I dropped asleep before take off.
At take off, I woke up and I started to watch television while I had something to eat. I quickly feel asleep again. I only woke up when the hostess served food. When I finally woke up with bright glaring eyes, it was morning. I looked through the window and saw thick, white snow and minutes after pilot landed and said “Hope you enjoyed flying with British Airways and enjoy your vacation, thank you and it was nice to have you fly with us.” I couldn’t wait to see London as I dragged my luggage through the isles of the plane and just couldn’t care who was in my way. “London here I come,” I said, as I stood in the lounge awaiting a taxi.

Dear Sir/Madam:
The frequent power outage is destroying all my equipment.
This week the current went out 12 times in
my area.When the current went out on Thursday, the eletric pole fell
on my vehicle and destroyed it. It was difficult to get to and from work.
I am unable to earn money to supply my family with the things they need. My children are unable to attend school. I have to spend unnecessary money buying ice in order to preserve my perishable food stuff. I think you should try to address the problem with me by arranging a meeting as soon as possible. I would like for you to make contact with me by letter or by phone. If in the next two weeks the problem is not addressed, I will be forced to take legal action.
Yours truely
Odarie Hill
