DISASTER!

People have been interested in disasters. We are excited and frightened by them. There are many kinds of disasters in the world and some of them were not predictable several years ago, but now computers and many scientific machines can help to give warnings of possible disasters.
A volcano is one of disasters. If erupting, it will blow the cloud of ash in a large area. Sometimes mountains carry away lava. It is dangerous so people are in the panic if lava flows near residential areas. We often classify lava into three types and they are hard one, watery soft one, and those of middle hardness. Hard lava tends to comes out from a global mountain, and watery soft lava tends to come out from a flat mountain, and lava of middle hardness tends to comes out from a mountain of middle height. Therefore we can predict what kinds of lava come out to check the form of the mountain.
A flood is also one of disasters. If a flood happens, many inhabitants die of swallowed in a muddy stream. An infectious disease also causes death because people have to spend in a dirty state for days.
Disasters are very dangerous and they kill many people every year. All we can do is escaping. Even if predicting, we can never control them.

RAINFORESTS

There are rain forests around the equator. The area is hot all the year round and usually between 20 degrees Celsius and 28 degrees Celsius every day. The weather is always wet and most rain forests have more than 200 mm of rain in a month.
Rain forests are important because more that half the species of plants and animals of the Earth live in the rain forests. Moreover the people of the rain forests have always used plants to make medicines and we can recover from some diseases by having the medicines. There are rubber trees there and rubbers are made of the trees.
More than fifty million people live in the rain forests of the world and most of them don’t hurt the forest that they live in. They eat the fruits that grow on the forest trees, but they don’t cut them down. They kill some animals to eat, but they don’t destroy the species.
We shall never know about some animals which live in the rain forests because every year about a thousand different species disappear for ever. Many animals are in danger of extinction because we are destroying the rain forests. To take care of the animals are certainly important, but not to contact with the animals and the forests may be more important for us.
