Unit 09. Natural Disasters Lesson 5. Skills 1 I. WRAM-UP
What is a volcano?:
What is a volcano? - Volcanoes:
A volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth. When pressure builds up, eruptions occur. Gases and rock shoot up through the opening and spill over or fill the air with lava fragments. Eruptions can cause lateral blasts, lava flows, hot ash flows, mudslides, avalanches, falling ash and floods. Volcano eruptions have been known to knock down entire forests. An erupting volcano can trigger tsunamis, flash floods, earthquakes, mudflows and rockfalls. What is a volcano? - How are volcanoes formed?:
How are volcanoes formed? Volcanoes are formed when magma from within the Earth`s upper mantle works its way to the surface. At the surface, it erupts to form lava flows and ash deposits. Over time as the volcano continues to erupt, it will get bigger and bigger. - Why do volcanoes erupt?:
Why do volcanoes erupt? The Earth`s crust is made up of huge slabs called plates, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. These plates sometimes move. The friction causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions near the edges of the plates. The theory that explains this process is called plate tectonics. - How many volcanoes are there?:
How many volcanoes are there? There are more than 1500 active volcanoes on the Earth. We currently know of 80 or more which are under the oceans. Active volcanoes in the U.S. are found mainly in Hawaii, Alaska, California, Oregon and Washington. - Some notable volcano eruptions:

Natural disasters can be destructive; they can wreak havoc across large areas and cause loss of life or damage to property. We cannot prevent natural disasters, but we can prepare for them. The first step is to learn about the risks in your area and read the information about natural disasters on local government sites. Next, find out what the rescue and emergency workers advise. These people have been trained to deal with disasters, have been through lots of them and know how to help. Make sure you have all the emergency contact numbers entered in your mobile phone. It is also important that you put together an emergency supply kit. Your emergency supply kit should include food, water, medications, personal hygiene items, copies of personal documents and some money. You may also need some extra clothing if you live in a cold climate. Natural disasters can force people to leave their homes so you should also become familiar with the guidelines for evacuation. Plan safe places to meet your family and get to know the evacuation routes and shelters.

A. A tornado hit a small town in Missouri at 9 a.m. yesterday. People said the sky darkened very quickly. The winds were so strong that trees, cars and even houses were picked up and carried for miles. As local TV and radio stations had issued an early warning, most of the residents had had time to take shelter underground or in basements. B. A powerful earthquake struck the north-east of Japan at 4p.m. last Monday. Although Japan has the most advanced warning system, there had been no early warning for this one and people were not prepared. Suddenly the ground started moving. The shaking continued for a few minutes and became stronger. People began running away from the buildings as walls started to collapse. C. Mount Sinabung in Indonesia erupted again two days ago. From where we were standing, we could see a big cloud of ash coming from the top of the mountain. As the lava ran down the volcano`s sides, it destroyed everything in its path. By the next morning, several villages around Mount Sinabung were buried is ash and debris. - Suggested match:
