IALT: Explain about the research I have done on landslides!

Image result for landslidesHello viewers, unicorns, aliens or who or whatever you are and welcome back to my blog!

Today I am going to be showing you guys my explanation writing about the things I have found about landslides. In my writing I have included the speeds of landslides, how they usually happen and how dangerous landslides can be.


  •  During this task I had enjoyed working with Faka'ata, another year 7 student, because we both had worked very collabritivaley and we had so much fun researching about landslides. 


  • Something I found challenging about this task was coming up with an example because I tried to give an explanation that the audience could relate to. 


  • My next steps if we did this task again wa trying to stay on task instead of talking.
During this task we had to use the S.E.E.E structure and if you don't know what the S.E.E.E structure is well, the S.E.E.E structure stands for:
S - Statement
E - Explain
E - Example
E - Effect


Here is an example of the S.E.E.E structure in use:
Now I am ready to show you guys my explanation about landslides!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Landslides are rocks, dirt and debris combined on a slope. Debris flows are one of the most dangerous landslides in the world.

An example of landslides occurring is if you were to pile up a bunch of books together and then you make on little shift all of those books have a chance of crumbling to the ground. As a result earthquakes are the reasoning for landslides to occur.

Image result for landslidesLandslides can have different amount of speeds and they can go really fast or either really slow; Landslides can last many years.  Landslides can also move of the speed of 200 miles (322 km) per hour. Common landslides can move of the speed as 10 miller per hour or 35 km per hour.  An example is if you throw a ball hard the faster it will go (like the bigger an earthquake the faster the landslide) where the softer you through the ball the slower and least farther it goes. An outcome of this is that landslides can be unique in speed levels.

Landslides are really dangerous and can cause real horrific damage. We all know that landslides can be pretty dangerous on their own but the more you study about them the more you realise that landslides are REALLY DANGEROUS; and they can cause real damage. As something to backup my statement is that in fact of the year, 2013, a flooding in India caused a lot of landslides to happen and 5,000 people were killed and also in 2014 un Oso, Washington a landslide had covered an entire neighbourhood in mud. The outcome of landslides being dangerous are that people can be affected really badly due to these experiences.

Question of the blog - Can you spot where I have left the S.E.E.E structure?
