Maziwi Island, a popular tourist destination off the coast of Tanzania known for its white sand beaches and coral reefs, has completely disappeared. Conservation experts are alarmed by its vanishing, with one describing it as a "catastrophe." A conservationist who had previously visited the idyllic 1500 acre island could not find any trace of it on a return trip. He speculates that dynamiting of the coral reefs and clearing of the island's vegetation left it vulnerable to powerful monsoon storms, which likely washed the island away. Locals are reluctant to discuss the affair due to a superstition that the island's disappearance signals the end of the world.

An island called Maziwi off the coast of Tanzania has disappeared without a trace. Maziwi was home to endangered green turtles and had palm trees and white sand beaches. When a conservation expert from IUCN visited where the island had been, he found only a tiny sand bar remained. He described the vanishing of the island as a "catastrophe". Locals may have been reluctant to discuss what happened due to a superstition that the island's disappearance signaled the end of the world. The expert speculates that fishermen dynamiting coral reefs and vegetation removal left the island vulnerable to being washed away by strong monsoon winds.

Landslides can cause disasters by moving rocks from slight ground movements driven by gravity along with other factors. An earthquake in Napier, New Zealand on February 3, 1931 at 10:30 am killed 256 people and seriously injured 365, and was believed to be a major aftershock from an earthquake in Australia. Tsunamis, also called harbor or tidal waves, can vary in size and height, with those over 20 meters having only a 5% chance of survival.

Weathering and erosion can damage rocks and landforms over time. Weathering causes cracks in rocks from weather exposure. Erosion sculpts the landscape by sand and water wearing away exposed surfaces like mountains and islands, cutting into the earth and leaving cracks and indentations. Strong storms and waves contribute to weathering by causing further cracks and damage to cliff faces and rocky structures.

The document describes several different landforms:
- A volcano is a mountain that sprays hot lava and rocks, which can be dangerous to touch.
- A beach is a strip along the coast made of sand, pebbles, and sometimes shells, where people can swim and play.
- A river is a large natural stream that flows toward the sea, lake, or another river.
- A peninsula is a piece of land surrounded by water on three sides.
- An island is land surrounded by water that floats in the ocean but does not move.
- A waterfall is formed when a river flows over a cliff or ledge.
THE TSUNAMI
1. Tsunamis are giant waves caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea. While tsunami waves do not increase much in height in the deep ocean, they build up dramatically as they reach shallow coastal waters.
2. The deadliest tsunami in recent history was in 2004, when an earthquake in the Indian Ocean triggered a tsunami that killed over 230,000 people across 14 countries, including over 10,000 in India.
3. It is important to evacuate coastal areas immediately when tsunami warnings are issued, as the first wave may not be the largest and tsunamis consist of multiple waves that can last for hours. Staying alert and having an evacuation plan can

Detailed Trip Report: First Part
7:45 a.m. We departed from Campus.
We drove north on Highway 101. As we continued north through the Highway, we passed through Yachats, a town that is approximately 75 miles. Just on the left past the Adobe Motel was the turn-off to Smelt Sands Beach which was our first stop. ( that’s all copied)
Stop 1: Smelt Sands Beach.
Smooth and brown rocks are molded together by wet beach sand. The sand is, however, coarse with contents including, quartz, basalt, shell pieces, serpentine and agates. The rock forming the base rock formation is present in the sand signifying the rock is broken down by erosion.
Different rocks are also exposed and are believed to be from the Cenozoic Era. They are featured as part of the Yachats Basalt and are Late Eocene (36-40 million years) in age. These rocks were formed as a result of the cooling of magma from a series of eruptions ( this is all copied from that cheater essay.. not hard to tell see I told you… KEEP This I will alter (Alt and Hyndman 1978).
There is the existence of a Pleistocene terrace where the town of Yachats is built. The terrace was probably formed when the sea level was lower, and its deposit is 10,000 to 1.8 million years old. It cuts into the Yachats basalt sequence (Snavely, 1980). Its present level, which is above, the present sea level, is attributed to either the rise of land due to tectonic activity or dropping of the sea level. It is, however, difficult to know where the uplift of the land is possible in such an active coastline. The Smelt Sands Beach is located to the South of the start of Yaquina formation. A basalt flow is found at this spot. It lies beneath the Pleistocene terrace. This basalt is about 40 million years old. The Pleistocene, on the other hand, is about 1.8 years old. What happened between the formation of the basalt and the Pleistocene is not known yet. However, some researchers speculate that land movement could have occurred which led to dropping of the sea level or rising of the land. The whole town of Yachats has been built on this beach terrace.
Information about the town of Yachats indicates that much is of it occurs in a zone that prone to tsunami if another Cascadia subduction occurs. The part of the town, which is not, in the tsunami zone is found on the hillside. However, this part also risks destruction from the tsunami-causing earthquake. Studies carried out by researchers indicate 50m of beach would retreat in this region should a cascadia subduction occur (Snavely, 1980). This means that the biggest part of the Yachats town would be destroyed considering that most of the premises in the town, which include shops, hotels and residential houses are within a distance of 50m from the water. Plants found in this region include bog anemones and gold-eyed grasses..
Deserts of australia
