Who could it be?

Who could it be, standing in the fog,
Could it be a frog or a hog,
Until I saw it was taller than a tree,
Who could it be,
I could hear the hushing sea,
Maybe that was the sound but what could the figure be,
Until a movement caught my ear, I could hear loud and clear,
The sound was rocks falling down near,
What could I hear, near the hushing sea, Oh what could it be.

Magnets

Magnets have two types of poles. They are called north and south. Some times magnets attract because north and south meet. Interestingly, magnets can repel too. Magnets repel from each other, when south and  south or north and north meet. This is because they are the same sided. Did you know that the earth is like a giant magnet? This is because there is a geographical north pole and a geographical south pole.This is a bit like a magnet because a magnet has a north and south poles too.

Magnets can attract. Attracting can happen when the north and south pole meet together. The two poles are different so they are getting attracted to each other. These two are the opposite of each other so if they aren't the opposite they would repel.Try putting two magnets together with one the south pole and the other north pole the magnets will quickly get together.

Magnets can also repel.Repling can happen when the opposite of attracting happens. Repling happens when north and north or south and south meet together. There is a special air force to keep them apart.If you held two magnets and the poles were the same it would be a little difficult to put it together.The magnet will try to turn around so it can try to attract.

Sometimes some magnets can attract to other magnets. Interestingly, no magnets can reach south if the side of the other magnet is south it would repel and try to move to the north side and that would be the same with the north pole.

Only a few things can attract to a magnet, here are 2 types of metal that can attract to a magnet they are Steel and Iron. Try putting some nails next to a magnet, the nails can't hold on so they get on to the magnet.

So know you know a lot about magnets.Hope you enjoyed learning a lot about magnets.

All about volcanoes and earthquakes

Volcanoes

Scientists who study volcanoes are called volcanologists.

Volcanologists wear space-age outfits which will keep the volcanologists save the suits have a metal coating that reflects the intense heat of the lava.

At volcanoes around the world, the scientists measure the temperature of lava, take gas samples, and monitor in landforms. By understanding volcanic behaviour, they hope to predict future eruptions. Then scientists can warm up people when current eruptions become hazardous to people living nearby. Their jobs are dangerous,but the work they do is important. Because you never know when we'll see the next big eruption. Pahoehoe is a Hawaiian name which means a volcanoes vent, the lava is cooled and hardened. Lava flows slowly, but it can cover long distances. This black sand is lava that shattered into tiny glass particles when it met the cool ocean. Volcanoes are breathtaking to behold,but the world has seen many deadly eruptions. The three types of volcanoes are Active,Dormant and Extinct.

Earthquakes

Earthquakes are very hard to feel but the earth's plates are slowly moving underneath our feet.

The plates move up to 7 centimetres,or 3 inches, each year.

That's about as fingernails grow. These small movements in plates over millions of years meant big changes for the earth.

Earthquakes can destroy our planet earth.

Earthquakes can kill over a million people and animals.

Earthquakes can break houses, farms, shops, roads,anything.

Earthquakes are dangerous .
