NATURAL
PHENOMENON
By
Darno, S.Pd
A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water
that submerges land.
A flood
occurs when an area of land, usually a low-lying, is covered with water. It
happens when soil and vegetation can not absorb water. Then the water runs off
the land in quantities that can not be carried in stream channels or kept in
natural ponds or man-made reservation.
Periodic floods occur naturally on many rivers,
forming an area known as the flood plain. These river floods usually result
from heavy rain, sometimes combined with melting snow, which causes the rivers
to overflow their banks. A flood that that rises and falls rapidly with little
or no advance warning is called flash flood. Flash floods usually result from
intense rainfall over a relatively small area.

A tidal wave can burst upon a beach and smash a
tree as if it were a matchstick.
It can start when an earthquake makes the gound
shake under the ocean.T he quake makes the water push up from the ocean floor,
and makes waves that can become one huge wall of rushing water.The water can
burst over the land, smashing boats,
autmobiles, houses, and other things and
kill people in its way.
Most tidal waves occur in the pacific ocean.
Sometimes, the waves are so small that they cause no damage at all.But people
who live along ocean shore have to be prepared for the worst.They can be saved
from dangerous tidal wave if they are warned a head of time.

A hurricane is a big tropical storm in the
Atlantic Ocean. There are tropical storms in the Pacific and Indian Ocean, too,
but here they’re called typhoons or cyclones. Hurricanes start over the ocean,
and they happen in late summer when the water is warm.
When a hurricane is photographed by a
satellite, it looks like a giant doughnut. The centre of hurricane is called ‘the eye’. There is no
wind here. The strong winds are pulled round the eye by rotation of the earth.
A hurricane is formed over the ocean, but then
it’s blown towards the islands of the Caribbean and the coasts of Central and
North America. The winds can reach over
220 km/h, so hurricanes can be very dangerous. Buildings are damaged.
Trees, bridges and power lines are blown
down. Every year hundreds of people are killed by hurricanes.
Most of damage is done on islands and along the
coast. A lot of damage is caused by the sea because huge waves are created by the strong winds. The waves are blown onto
the land, and cities, villages and fields are flooded. However, hurricanes and
typhoons also do some good things. Over half the rain in Japan is brought by
typhoons.
Hurricanes are caused by heat. Scientists
believe that if global warming increase, we will see many more hurricane each
year.
