Hey guys, I found a possible project topic that might interest you, but there is a possibility it might include physics. Please comment.
http://armageddononline.tripod.com/tsunamis.htm
A mega tsunami will happen when some volcanos erupt, read the website to find out more.
We could try building a structure to protect the places that are going to be hit by the tsunamis, since we are already forewarned, we can like
1: Build A structure as mentioned above
2: Form an evacuation plan for when the volcano explodes
3: Make the volcano erupt after evacuation.

Report the series of weather disasters worldwide, and explain what caused
them -Explain (with relevant weather and geographical data) why Singapore is
considered safe from these disasters
Other points may be added to make the research more detailed, eg Hurricane Katrina, Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Landslides, Eruption, Hailstorms, Heaviest Snow in decades.
