The word flood means the inability of rivers, lakes, drainage or other
waterways to accommodate massive quantities of water, so the water
overflow and enters the surrounding area. Flood often occurs in the area
on the edge of the river or a region that was once a river absorption, and
also in the area where the drainage system is disrupted. This disaster
usually occurs in the rainy season as the rainfall with high intensity and
with a very long duration. There are two factors that can cause flood, the
natural factors and social factors.
The first factor is the natural factor. This factor is a cause that
comes from nature itself. Nature produce heavy rain that continued to fall
and caused the area of water absorption overflowed, so that the water can
no longer flow. As a result, the water will spread to all directions and
entered into residential areas. In addition, nature can also cause the
constriction of the river as a result of erosion it caused the sedimentation
get into the river and reduced the capacity of the river.
The second factor is the social factor. This factor is a factor that
often causes flood. It happens because of human behavior itself which
often caused nature damage. People often throw the trash in the rivers, it
is causing the surface of the river becomes shallow as a result of the trash
piling up. Some people also build their houses or other buildings in the
area that supposed to be a water absorption area of the river.
The surface of the river that becomes shallow caused the river can
no longer accommodate water in the large amounts and also caused the
soil can no longer absorb the water. a result, when the rain fall with a long
duration, eventhough it is not so heavy it will cause water overflowed
towards all directions and the large amount of water will flow into
residential areas. The water caused the houses are flooded, even worse
flood could sink the houses in the residential.

Forest fires are one of the causes of forest destruction are the
greatest and and is very detrimental. Repair damage to forests from fires
require a long time, moreover, to return into the woods again. Therefore,
we need to consider several things that can cause fires.
One of the causes of forest fires are due to volcanic activity of the
volcano like a burning forest because of a lava flow or heat (wedus
gembel) volcanic eruptions. Based on the experience that there is a fire
like this is difficult to anticipate, but may be minimized
One of which led to the burning of forests are caused by human
hands as clean up agricultural land, open agricultural land even to acts of
vandalism of a handful or a group of people. Such measures must be
curbed with socialization to the community.
Human-caused forest fires not only the deliberate sifanya as
described in the previous, but also due to negligence or carelessness of
man. The action of the human carelessness among others throw cigarette
butts and forgot to turn off the fire ungun.
The impact of forest fires would have been detrimental to the life,
therefore we must not let the unburned forest and always sustainable,
impact, among others: Produces carbon dioxide emissions a major cause
of global warming, Deadly various types of flora and fauna that are in the
forest, damaging homes , and many other distinguished anymore ..
We as humans should not be careless and keep our forests so that
no forest fires

The lunar eclipse is an event of the sun, the earth and the moon lie
on one line so that the shadow of the earth covers a part or whole moon.
The lunar eclipses that occur on this earth distinguished to several types,
they are total lunar eclipse, partial lunar eclipse and lunar eclipse
penumbra.
The process of the lunar eclipse begins when the earth is between
the sun and the moon on the same line. The result is the sunlight can not
reach the moon because it is blocked by the earth.
A total lunar eclipse is when the moon is right in the umbra (the
darkest area). On a partial lunar eclipse, the earth is not entirely blocking
the moon from the sun. While the other half of the surface of the moon is
in the penumbra area. So there is still some sunlight that reaches the
surface of the moon. On the lunar eclipse umbra, all parts of the moon are
in the penumbra. So the moon can still be seen with a gloomy color.
There is also a very rare lunar eclipse phenomenon called super
total lunar eclipse red blood. This kind of lunar eclipse occurs due at the
time of occurrence of the total lunar eclipse. The moon position is in the
position of the closest approach to the earth, thus making the moon seem
larger and brighter than usual and at the same time only red color of
sunlight penetrated to reflected by the earth’s atmosphere.
