kids thoughts about tsunami.....

by sarah ;
Nine countries were affected from the tsunami. The countries are Indonesia, Maldives, Kenya, Seychelles, Somalia, Thailand, and Malaysia. Survivors fought for the food. There were 10,000 children who had lost their parents in the tsunami. There were no dead animals in Sri Lanka. The tsunami is caused by an earthquake which spreads the water in every direction. Then one plate of the ocean goes down and the other plate goes up. In Sri Lanka a train had got upside down. I am from Sri Lanka, Colombo. None of my relatives have died, but lots of our friend’s relatives have died. Please help them build their houses again.

Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes in the ocean. Tsunamis are caused when one plate in the ocean goes, up and the other plate in the ocean goes down. Tsunamis have huge waves that suck things such as, houses and cars. The tsunami that hit Asia had waves high as 40 meters. In the tsunami there were about 155,000 people killed. These countries were affected Sri Lanka, India, Kenya, Seychelles, Somalia, Maldives, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. 10, 000 children became orphans. Some animals such as dogs and elephants helped people. An elephant carried dead bodies to be buried. The tsunami started in the Indian ocean and spread out. Some waves were as fast as 800 km ph. I am from Sri Lanka. My country suffered a lot. Please help the victims of these killer waves.
