TSUNAMI

            Tsunamis occur when a mayor fault under the ocean floor suddenly slips. The displaced rock pushes water above it like a giant paddle, producing powerful water waves at the ocean surface. The ocean wave spread out from the vicinity of the earthquake source and move across the ocean until they reach the coastline, where their height increases as they reach the continental shelf, the part of earth’s crust that slopes, or rises, from ocean floor up the land.

            Tsunamis wash ashore with often disastrous effect such as severe flooding, loss of lives due to drowning, and damage to property.

            A tsunami is very large sea wave that is generated by disturbance along the ocean floor. This disturbance can be an earthquake, a landslide, or a volcanic eruption. A tsunami is undetectable far out in the ocean, but once it reaches shallow water, this fast- traveling wave grows very large.

ODD AUSTRALIAN CREATURES

            The emus are large bird but they cannot fly. They live all over Australia in a grassland area. The emus eat grass, leaves and small insects. They weigh around 36 kilograms but some weigh as much as 50 kilograms.

            These birds have three toes on their feet and very long legs. They can run very fast – up to 50 kilometres per hour.

            The female emus usually lay about 20 eggs. The eggs are large and dark green coloured. Meanwhile the male emus sit on the eggs in the large nest until the eggs hatch. They sit on the eggs for round 7 – 8 weeks. They do not leave the nest for this time. When the eggs hatch, the male emus look after the babies for about six month. Therefore, the female emus do not care for the babies.
