Unlike any other time in recent history, the number of natural disasters have been unprecedented; Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, flooding, and tornadoes.
Has the earth shifted?
Is this a part of global warming?
Personally, I do not know, however there are scientist who study atmospheric conditions. Even the more forecasting and predicting the weather has a very interesting history of its own. The following link provides interesting changes in how the weather has been predicted over time. http://www.history.noaa.gov/nwstech_tales.html.
Teachers who teach students enrolled in 5th, 6th and 7th grade science classes may choose to visit the "Morehead Planetarium & Science Center" website to find valuable resources and facts about the interesting types of weather we have been experiencing lately.
