My Costume

I do not have time to get the aluminum so I am changing my costume to some hiking boots, some blue Jeans, and some shades. My shirt will be a casual shirt.

Steps for my Picture

  • I will first start by making a mental sketch of what I want my hero to look like.
  • I need to use some plates of metal but since I can not easily get that much metal I will need aluminum to cover my body with it.
  • Then I need to get a camera to take the picture. The school will provide one.
  • I will get the permission to use all that aluminum and find a good area to take my picture.
  • I will then edit my picture using or Photoshop 6 I will add some effects and then make my superhero more realistic. That way my hero will be given a dramatic effect.

The Importance of Natural Disasters

Natural Disasters cause many terrible deaths and disembodiements. The Natural disaster could cost millions or billions of dollars to homes and companies. If it is in a hot spot for Natural Disasters the technology there would be permanantly affected. The Natural Disasters could cause damage to the environment making it difficult to breath and kill many more people. The smoke from a volcano could kill as if there were no trees.

Krakatau fom Devastation!

I decided to speak of Krakatoa because I haven't explained anything about volcanoes even though they are some of the most dangerous natural disasters there are. Houses were totally destroyed. Even the island started destroying itself. Eventually it made a new island but killed 36,000 people. There was also a huge involvement of tsunamis due to the volcanoes effect. (Newson 24-25)

Natural Disasters from dotars.gov

It basically explains mostly information about specific natural disasters. It talks about the floods, bushfires, and cyclones that happen in Australia. Scientists say that a lot more cyclones are expected in the future. This is only information on natural disasters from Australia so the site is a little vague. The Australian govornment has a lot of involvement in their problem. (dotars.gov)
