My clay creation for kapahaka


 I created a creation that says k,h which stands for kapahaka. 
As a yr 6 next year I would like to achieve being a kaia for kapahaka. 
In this project you had a block of clay, you also had some objects to help you get the right size.
After that we had to shape it. 
Finally you had to put water onto the object to thelp it stick together.
I found challenging thinking of what to create, because I had a load of things I wanted to do as a year six.
im proud of how it turned out, it didnt turn out how I excpected it to but I still like it.

Destructive Landslides

Did you know that landslides are rock and debris tumbling down a slope?

How it happens?
Landslides are triggered by
  • Earthquakes
  • Volcanoes erupting
  • A long period of rain
  • Tsunami
  • Storm

How can a storm trigger a landslide?
The strength of a storm will knock over trees and
that will cause an earthflow landslide, thats why
a storm can trigger a landslide.

What is an earthflow landslide?
An earthflow landslide is a herd of grass, mud
and trees tumbling down a slope or a mountain.
As it makes it way down the slope it will knock
out more of the plant life causing an even bigger
tsunami.

Types of landslides:
Here is four types of landslides
  • Earthflow
  • Volcanic landslide
  • Rockslide
  • Submarine landslides

What is the difference between a volcanic landslide
and a submarine landslide?
The difference between a volcanic landslide and a
submarine landslide is, that a volcanic landslide
roars out lava, and a submarine landslide is just a
huge wave rushing through underwater. Its strength
is as powerful as a very, very strong rip.



What is the māori connection to a landslide?
  • Pāpātuāanuku-god of the earth
  • Pākāru-damage
  • Whenuā-land
  • Horowhenuā- landslide

Trivia
  • Almost every landslide has serious
  • causes
  • Debris flows can get speeds upto 200
  • miles per hour
  • Tsunamis can be triggered by submarine
  • landslides
  • Human activities can cause landslides

Conclusion
A landslide is when rock and debris tumble down
a slope or mountain. Be cautious of landslides
around you, you never know when there gonna
happen.
