COMPREHENSION
Forests provide shade, food and shelter for plants and animals. They even provide fuel and medicine for people. Most importantly, forests provide the oxygen we all need to breathe.
One of the greatest threats to our forests is fire. Fire can destroy the animals’ habitats or homes.
The majority of forest fires are started by humans. Over 30 percent of these are deliberately set. Worryingly, there are some people, including children, who start fires just because they enjoy watching them burn. Additionally, some landowners set fire to trees in order to clear land to plant crops.
Many forest fires are started accidentally by people who burn garbage at illegal dumps or by sparks which fly from machines. Visitors to the forest who smoke may drop their cigarette ends and this can have dire consequences.
Even though forest fires take place in the dry season continues long afterwards. Destruction of the forest results in soil erosion, which can lead to flooding.
The forest can recover but it will take many, many years. So, it is important that we take the necessary precautions to protect the forests of the world.

PROFIT and LOSS (with percentages)
Profit refers to when there is an increase over the original cost of an item.
Loss refers to when there is a decrease in the original cost of an item.
Example:
John is a shopkeeper. He buys goods from the wholesaler and sells them in his shop at a higher price to earn profit. If he sells them at a lower price, he suffers loss.
Example:
Nicholas bought his bicycle for $300. He sold it to his friend and made a 10% profit.
a. Calculate the profit.
10/100 x 300 = $30

Natural Disasters
Use the internet to find out what is the meaning of 'Richter scale'.
The Indonesian Tsunami - Aftermath
- Considered the deadliest tsunami in history
- Since it was a holiday (Boxing Day) many people were on the beaches.
-The earthquake measured 9.1 on the Richter scale.
-230,000 lives were lost.
-Waves were at least 100 feet.
-By the time the tsunami hot Thailand, waves were travelling at 500mph.
-Sri Lanka and India were also hit.
“It’s a wave, but from the observer’s standpoint, you wouldn’t recognize it as a wave,” Titov says. “It’s more like the ocean turns into a white water river and floods everything in its path.”
Once caught in the raging waters, if the currents don’t pull you under, the debris will finish the job.
“In earthquakes, a certain number of people die but many more are injured. It’s completely reversed with tsunamis,” says Titov. “Almost no injuries, because it’s such a difficult disaster to survive.”

Volcanoes
Search online to find the meanings of:

2. Richter scale
3. pyroclastic flow
Watch: Pompeii & Mount Vesuvius
There are volcanoes on every continent, even Antarctica. The majority of volcanoes in the world form along the boundaries of Earth's tectonic plates. When tectonic plates collide, one often plunges deep below the other. As the descending landmass sinks deep into the Earth, temperatures and pressures climb, releasing water from the rocks. The water slightly reduces the melting point of the overlying rock, forming magma that can work its way to the surface—the spark of life to reawaken a slumbering volcano.
Another way volcanoes can form is what's known as hotspot volcanism. In this situation, a zone of magmatic activity—or a hotspot—in the middle of a tectonic plate can push up through the crust to form a volcano. Although the hotspot itself is thought to be largely stationary, the tectonic plates continue their slow march, building a line of volcanoes or islands on the surface. This mechanism is thought to be behind the Hawaii volcanic chain.

Frigate Birds
Many countries have a national bird which is indigenous to that country
and has special significance to the natives of the land. The national bird of
Antigua and Barbuda is the Frigate Bird which is also known as the
Man-O’-War because it behaves like pirates on the high seas. This unique
bird, which is native to tropical territories, has a sanctuary in Barbuda which
is home to thousands of magnificent Frigates.
Frigate Birds have easily identifiable features. They have mainly black
feathers, long, deeply forked tails and long hooked grey bills. A fully-grown
Frigate is about three feet in length and has a wingspan of over seven
feet. Females have white throats and white underbellies while the males
have a distinctive bright red balloon at their throat which they inflate during the breeding season to attract mates.
The males also raise their bills high, vibrate partially spread wings and swivel back and forth, while calling to attract a mate. Both male and female birds take part in the breeding process. The female Frigate Bird lays a single egg which is incubated by both parents. When the egg hatches, the young Frigate is fed by both parents for a while and then the mother continues to feed the young bird for months later. The young bird is never left unattended before it can take care of itself. One parent is always in the nest with the young one.
Among the qualities that make the Frigate bird special, is their ability to
fly. They are excellent gliders. They can soar for weeks on wind currents
and they catch their food in flight. They swoop down close to the sea to
gather prey from the water or the beach without stopping their flight. The
magnificent Frigate eats small fish, squid, jellyfish and crustaceans. It may
also take young turtles, birds and eggs. It is known for grabbing food away
from other birds and even eating the eggs and young of other Frigate Birds.
Frigate Birds deserve to be protected because of their significance to
Antiguans and Barbudans. One way of protecting the birds is to protect their habitat. Securing the mangroves in Barbuda means that natives and tourists will be able to enjoy the magnificence of these birds for years to come.
