This summer the world suffered from many natural disasters. Indonesia went through a strong earthquake that caused a huge tsunami and Japan is now going through a horrible typhoon that is going through-out the country. Almost all countries experienced dynamic heat waves and suffered from it severely.

One of the elements that creates a typhoon is warm sea water. The ocean is being heated up by global warming which makes the typhoons to contain even much strength and intensity. Warm and moist air becomes a giant engine for a typhoon. Warm air and water rises above the surface and creates an area of low pressure. A typhoon is formed when high pressure pushes into the low pressure.

Korea went through a strong typhoon this summer. It was just a month ago. There had been reports that strong winds and rain poured in Jeju Island, an island located at the most southern part of Korea, and people were missing. The wind took them away. Signboards from shops fell off from buildings and were blown away by wind as if they were just a piece of paper. There were people who couldn?t even stand still because of the wind, cars pushed away, a huge tree falling down, and seawalls going missing near the shore. This was the ?Typhoon Solic?. It struck Korea in August and schools were forced to close so that students wouldn?t be injured because of the storm. The meteorological administration predicted that this typhoon would go through Seoul and cause a huge damage to Korea?s economy. Luckily, this did not happen due to another typhoon that was approaching Japan. It was moving at such a high speed that it slowed Typhoon Solic down to move to the Eastern side and not come near Seoul.

The earth has gone through many natural disasters and those were to change what used to be before and start again from a very beginning. This is also a signal that is trying to tell us something. Nature is not easy and we should not try to cause any damage to it. It is not our place to try to take control of it.
