The Whangarei Public Library has asked to display the classroom's surreal clock artwork. Room 2 has been learning descriptive writing and Ayla wrote a story describing the sea. Her story uses vivid language to describe the sea's waves tossing onto the sand like a bedspread or rooster in a cage, swooping up like salmon or excited kangaroos bumping their heads, and eventually flattening out like a pancake as the oceans slowly calm.

SPL social ch- 5 water explanation
The document discusses various aspects of the water cycle and water movement in oceans. It begins by explaining the water cycle and how water circulates between oceans, atmosphere and land through evaporation and condensation. It then discusses different types of water movement in oceans including waves caused by wind and tsunamis caused by earthquakes, as well as tides caused by gravitational pull of the sun and moon. It concludes by describing ocean currents, both warm and cold currents that influence temperatures and provide good fishing conditions.

Chapter 2 lesson 2 sci
Weathering and erosion by forces like wind, water, and ice cause changes to landforms over time. Erosion transports sediment that is deposited elsewhere, building up landforms like deltas at river mouths. Flooding deposits sediments that can enrich flood plains for farming but also cause damage. Underground erosion can lead to sinkholes if cave roofs collapse. Landslides occur when gravity moves soil, mud, and rocks down slopes. Plants both break up rocks with growing roots but also fight erosion by holding soil in place.

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.
Natural disasters
This document provides a summary of the top 5 natural disasters in the world. It begins by discussing how natural disasters have impacted Earth throughout history and have affected more people as the planet's population has grown. The top 5 disasters are then outlined: (1) the Nyos Lake gas eruption in Cameroon in 1986 that killed nearly 2,000 people; (2) Hurricane Mitch which struck Central America in 1998 causing over 11,000 deaths; (3) the eruption of Mount Vesuvius that buried the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum in 79 AD; (4) the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed over 230,000 people across 14 countries; and (5) the 1556
Desert
Deserts form through weathering from large daily temperature variations, occasional rainfall, and wind erosion. When it does rain, the water can quickly form flash floods. Sandstorms are common and can move entire sand dunes as wind blows loose sand. Animals that live in deserts have adapted to the harsh conditions, with many burrowing underground or storing water in humps and wasting little, like camels.

Desert
This presentation includes information about deserts across the world. It is suitable for children between 4-9 years. It has content explained with very interesting images.
Desert
Deserts are formed in areas that receive little precipitation, making conditions too harsh for most plants and animals. Deserts experience large daily temperature variations that cause rocks to crack and weather away. When it does rain, the water can cause flash floods since it has few places to soak into the dry ground. Sandstorms are also common, where high winds pick up and carry large amounts of sand, obscuring visibility. Animals that live in deserts have adapted to the harsh conditions by burrowing underground, only coming out at night to avoid the heat, and being able to go long periods without water through efficient waste processes or by storing water in humps like camels.
Landforms hollykostecki
Volcanoes form at tectonic plate boundaries and can erupt with lava that travels for miles, destroying everything in its path. Caverns contain stalagmites and stalactites and people visit and modify them for tourism. Bodies of water like oceans, lakes and rivers cover 75% of the Earth and are important for sustaining life. Glaciers are found in cold places and are melting due to rising ocean temperatures, which can cause them to crack and calve large icebergs. Mountains are formed by earthquakes pushing the ground upward and are made of solid rock rather than hollow magma chambers like volcanoes.
Victoria falls
The document describes Victoria Falls, located on the Zambezi River between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is one of the world's largest waterfalls, with the widest curtain of falling water during rainy season. During low water months from September to December, it is possible to swim in a natural pool called Devil's Pool located on Livingstone Island, which is just feet from the edge of the 328-foot waterfall drop. Photos show people swimming and enjoying the unique experience of being so close to the massive waterfall.
Whales
Humpback whales have been on the endangered species list since 1966. Climate change now poses the biggest threat to humpback whale populations as it is altering their feeding habitats in the Southern Ocean. Warmer temperatures have caused frontal zones to move south, requiring humpback whales to travel farther to find food. Sea ice coverage is also decreasing, which impacts krill populations that humpback whales rely on for sustenance. These climate-driven changes are decreasing whale foraging areas and reducing the availability of food.
Waterfall poem claire-vanfleteren
The document describes water flowing over land and eroding rocks and sand over many years to form riverbeds and waterfalls. It notes how waterfalls are natural wonders that amaze observers as the heavy mass of water plunges downward, creating a spectacle for all to see. Each waterfall is unique yet they share the common trait of being beautiful spectacles.
Natural phenomina
An earthquake can range from a mild tremor to a large-scale movement causing extensive damage over a wide area. Major earthquakes can be devastating, breaking electrical lines or gas pipes and causing fires. Tremors during earthquakes can also cause soil liquefaction by making saturated soil lose strength and transform from solid to liquid. Some historical earthquakes in India include the 1905 Kangra earthquake that killed 20,000 people, and the 1934 Bihar earthquake that killed nearly 11,000. The 2001 Bhuj earthquake killed over 13,000 and destroyed 800,000 homes and damaged roads and bridges.
Victoria falls. 2 ppt
Victoria Falls is located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is 1.7 km wide and 108 meters high, making it an extraordinary natural spectacle. David Livingstone visited the falls in 1855 and named them after Queen Victoria. Today, Victoria Falls is one of the greatest tourist attractions on the African continent, and in 1989 it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site protecting over 8,780 hectares.
Turkey mii
The document discusses several geological formations and natural areas in Konya, Turkey that have been impacted by the region's climate and geology. Sinkholes called swallow holes occur across the Konya Plain due to collapsing underground spaces caused by chalky stones in the ground. These sinkholes can be 100 meters deep and pose a danger. The Karapınar Desert in Konya has also been affected by the regional climate. Meke Lake emerged from an underground explosion and demonstrates the effects of climate and geology. Cappadocia has a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters, and is characterized by fairy chimneys formed from the area's geological morphology.

Law Of Attraction Final
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give permission for others to do the same. The law of attraction states that you will attract conditions that correspond to the nature of your thoughts. Everything that man has ever created first started as a thought. Thoughts not only matter, they create matter.

CHAPTER VI
THE SEA AROUND US
Patella caerulea
Castello Aragonese is a tiny island that rises straight out of the Tyrrhenian Sea, like a turret. Eighteen miles west of Naples, it can be reached from the larger island of Ischia via a long, narrow stone bridge. At the end of the bridge there’s a booth where ten euros buys a ticket that allows you to climb—or, better yet, take the elevator—up to the massive castle that gives the island its name. The castle houses a display of medieval torture instruments as well as a fancy hotel and an outdoor café. On a summer evening, the café is supposed to be a pleasant place to sip Campari and contemplate the terrors of the past.
Like many small places, Castello Aragonese is a product of ” “very large forces, in this case the northward drift of Africa, which every year brings Tripoli an inch or so closer to Rome. Along a complicated set of folds, the African plate is pressing into Eurasia, the way a sheet of metal might be forced into a furnace. Occasionally, this process results in violent volcanic eruptions. (One such eruption, in 1302, led the entire population of Ischia to take refuge on Castello Aragonese.) On a more regular basis, it sends streams of gas bubbling out of vents in the sea floor. This gas, as it happens, is almost a hundred percent carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide has many interesting properties, one of which is that it dissolves in water to form an acid. I have come to Ischia in late January, deep into the off-season, specifically to swim in its bubbly, acidified bay. Two marine biologists, Jason Hall-Spencer and Maria Cristina Buia, have promised to show me the vents, provided the predicted rainstorm holds off. It is a raw, gray day, and we are thumping along in a fishing boat that’s been converted into a research vessel. We round Castello Aragonese and anchor about twenty yards from its “its rocky cliffs. From the boat, I can’t see the vents, but I can see signs of them. A whitish band of barnacles runs all the way around the base of the island, except above the vents, where the barnacles are missing.”
“Barnacles are pretty tough,” Hall-Spencer observes. He is British, with dirty blond hair that sticks up in unpredictable directions. He’s wearing a dry suit, which is a sort of wet suit designed to keep its owner from ever getting wet, and it makes him look as if he’s preparing for a space journey.

On the expedition, led by Robert Scott, Shackleton and his team endured slow going as they pulled sleds low on food towards the South Pole, with their sled dogs beginning to die.

Waves are like excited kangaroos and bump their heads on the sand like an unlucky child falling on concrete. After this ear-splitting rage, the sea flattens out like a big pancake. The world’s oceans slowly calm once again.
