Safest Place in America Essay

               You will be reading about the safest place in America. I wondered as a kid where the safest place in America is but now I know, it is Allentown, PA. The reason that my team and I found this is we went on a long journey through the internet, well not literately we just did a lot of research. I know this because it has barely any earthquakes, no tornadoes and no tsunamis. If you don't believe me yet or you want to know more read this essay. I hope you will enjoy.



               "rumble" You will not be hearing or feeling that here in Allentown. The first kind of severe weather it is safe from is earthquakes. A earthquake is when two or more plates overlap, crash, slide past each other or grow apart causing the ground to shake, usually a lot. Allentown barely ever has earthquakes and even when they do the are small and cause little damage. Allentown is not on any of the coasts and it mainly happens on the coast. Allentown is safe from earthquakes.



               "SPLASH!" You will not hear or feel that in Allentown, PA. The second kind of severe weather is a tsunami. A tsunami is when a gigantic wave comes and does a lot of damage and kills many people. Allentown doesn't have any tsunamis because it is not on the west coast of the USA because that is where the ring of fire is. Also it not on a coast of the USA and how could a tsunami occur in the middle of the USA.



               "Whoosh!" That tornado was close, I wish that I were in Allentown the safest place in the USA. A tornado is a violent rotating column of wind that causes damage. Allentown is not a part of Tornado Alley and it has mountains preventing the tornadoes to grow. For a tornado you need a warm, moist air mass from the Gulf of Mexico and a cool, dry air mass from Canada. Allentown is not in danger of a tornado.



               What we learned today is that Allentown is the safest place in America because it is safe from weather that can cause major damage like tornadoes, tsunamis and earthquakes. Do you agree because you should. A different website that was published says that Corvallis OR is the safest place in America but how could it be? Corvallis could have tsunamis because it is on the west coast of America. It is proven that Allentown is the safest place in the USA.

Summary:
This week my team created a map of all of the natural disasters around the world to find where we think that the safest place in the USA. We found through our data that there where a few states empty so we searched more and we came up with Allentown PA. My favorite thing that I did this week is creating the video because I got to have fun while learning deeper into facts about sever weather. I learned that tsunamis occur because of the ring of fire. One more thing is that Tsunamis happen only on the west coast of the USA. I already knew that but it was really interesting because I have never heard or a Tsunami her in CA.

This week my group and I created a map of all of the Sever weather that occur a lot in one state. We ran into a problem that was we had multiple blank states so we just had to go find a little more information. When were found that we wanted to do Pennsylvania we had to find a city so we did one last bit of research and we were done with the map. Then we had to post a picture of our map and where we think the safest place in the USA is on Sesame. After we finished all of that we had to find exactly where on the map Allentown is but that was really easy.

Summary: Just like last week this week we worked on some severe weather worksheets. The kinds of severe weather that Enya and I worked on is thunderstorms, tornadoes and Blizzards. The coolest thing that I learned about thunderstorms is that light travels faster than sound. The coolest fact that I learned about tornadoes is that in an average year about 1,000 tornadoes are reported all around the nation. The most appealing thing that I learned about blizzards or winter storms is that snow absorbs light.

On the work sheet that we had to fill out had a black and white picture of the USA. What we had to do with it is we had to color in with any color where in the USA is prone to a certain kind of weather. They are usually all in a big clump except for wild fires and maybe some others. All of them were different but might have had some of the same state. For example hurricanes and tornadoes have a little bit of Texas as a state prone to the kind of weather.
