Large areas of land are destroyed every year by bushfires, such as Black Saturday and Ash Wednesday, which caused massive damage to the residents in the area of destruction. Some of the most intense, extensive and deadly bushfires commonly occur during droughts and heat wave. The outcome of Australia's latest heatwave, the infamous 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, 173 people lost their live.
 * __DOUBLE BUSHFIRE ALL THE WAY!!!!__**

__**HOW DO BUSHFIRES HAPPEN?**__ Bushfires are usually caused by uncommonly long weather, called a //heatwave.// Heatwaves happen when masses of hot air stay over one place for a long time. There are no clouds nor winds to cool the area. They happen most oftenly near the equator, because of its hot climate. People cannot stay outside in this weather.

The word //tsunami// comes from the japanese word //tsu//, which means harbour, and the word //nami,// which means wave. A tsunami is caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or underwater explosions. The 2011 tohoku tsunami has 15269 confirmed deaths, 5636 injured, 8526 missing and many, many bad memories. 125000 buildings destroyed, homes destroyed and yet they have not given up hope. The bank of japan have offered $183 billion to all those who suffered in the dreadful tsunami that took away the lives of their loved ones. The Prime Minister of Japan said " In the 65 years after the end of WWII, this is the the toughest and the most difficult crisis for Japan."
 * __OMG! ITS A TSUNAMI!__**

Earthquakes are usually the ones that cause tsunamis.They also shake the water, which causes massive tsunamis to happen. Underwater explosions, including nuke tests, are also a cause. They make the water jump up, then come back down with such force, it creates tsunamis. tsunami :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( bushfire
