Our topic for this term is Extreme Earth. In this geography and science-based topic we start by looking at natural disasters, both geological (earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis) and meteorological (hurricanes and tornadoes). In the second part of the topic we move onto look at man-made disasters such as wildfires and oil spills and their environmental impact. We will look at both the causes of disasters and their effects on the natural world using real-life examples as our guide. We will be looking at different types of maps to help us understand why these disasters 

happen in certain places around the world.
