Emilles The Hound of the
Baskervilles
A dense, white fog hung over the moor and it was drifting
slowly in our direction. Holmes was watching it.
"It's moving towards us, Watson," he said impatiently.
"Is that serious?" I asked,
"Very serious, indeed. It's the one thing that could ruin my
plans. Our success and even Sir Henry's life may depend on his
coming out of the house before the fog is over the path. In half
an hour we won't be able to see our hands in front of us." I
"Shall we move to higher ground?"
"Yes, I think it would be best," replied Holmes.
So we moved back until we were about half a mile from the house.
Suddenly, the sound of quick steps broke the silence of the moor. Through
the fog came Sir Henry. He walked by quite close to us, but he didn't see
us. Then, we heard another sound coming from the white bank of fog.
"Look out!" cried Holmes. "It's coming!"
We stared into the fog, uncertain what horror was about to break
from the heart of it. Then, a dreadful shape sprung out from the
shadows. It was an enormous coal-black hound. Fire burst from its
open mouth and its eyes were burning in the darkness. With long bounds
the huge creature was leaping down the track, following our friend. Far
away on the path we saw Sir Henry looking back, his face white in the
moonlight, his hands raised in horror, staring helplessly at the thing
which was chasing him.

1) Near the coast, the height of a tsunami can reach several tens of meters. The highest waves, up to 30-40 meters.
2) Most tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes, during which there is an abrupt displacement (rise or fall) of a section of the seabed.
3) The largest number of earthquakes occurs on the Pacific coasts. Accordingly, tsunamis most often occur in the Pacific Ocean. In our country, the Far Eastern shores are exposed to tsunami attacks: Kamchatka, the Kuril and Commander Islands and partly Sakhalin. Tsunamis also occur in the Indian Ocean.
4) Landslides and volcanic eruptions can also cause tsunamis.
5) Being in close proximity to the coastline on which the tsunami is to occur, you need to climb as high as possible.

Teach your friends and family about the wonderful wildlife, birds, fish and plants that live near you. The first step to protecting endangered species is learning about how interesting and important they are.
Many animals live in developed areas and this means they must navigate a landscape full of human hazards. One of the biggest obstacles to wildlife living in developed areas is roads. Roads divide habitat and present a constant hazard to any animal attempting to cross from one side to the other. So when you’re out and about, slow down and keep an eye out for wildlife.
Never buy furniture made from wood from rainforests. Recycle your cell phones, because a mineral used in cell phones and other electronics is mined in gorilla habitat. Minimize your use of palm oil because forests where tigers live are being cut down to plant palm plantations.
Overseas trips can be exciting and fun, and everyone wants a souvenir. But sometimes the souvenirs are made from species nearing extinction. Avoid supporting the market in illegal wildlife including: tortoise-shell, ivory, coral. Also, be careful of products including fur from tigers, polar bears, sea otters and other endangered wildlife, crocodile skin, live monkeys or apes, most live birds including parrots, macaws, cockatoos and finches, some live snakes, turtles and lizards, some orchids, cacti and cycads, medicinal products made from rhinos, tiger or Asiatic black bear.
Shooting, trapping, or forcing a threatened or endangered animal into captivity is also illegal and can lead to their extinction.
