Answer:

A Journey to the Centre of the Earth and is a classic science fiction novel by Jules Verne. It was first published in French in 1864, then reissued in 1867 in a revised and expanded edition. Professor Otto Lidenbrock is the tale's central figure, an eccentric German scientist who believes there are volcanic tubes that reach to the very center of the earth. He, his nephew Axel, and their Icelandic guide Hans rappel into Iceland's celebrated inactive volcano then contend with many dangers, including cave-ins, subpolar tornadoes, an underground ocean, and living prehistoric creatures from the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras. (The 1867 revised edition inserted additional prehistoric material in Chaps. 37–39.) Eventually the three explorers are spewed back to the surface by an active volcano, Stromboli, in southern Italy.

Write the thesis and supporting claims for an essay on why being in a boat during a hurricane is better than being in a car duri
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Explanation: Being on a boat during a hurricane may not sound so safe. Some would say you could have better luck in a car than a boat. Well, it is actually safer to be on a boat than a car for different reasons.

If you are on the water and know that there is a hurricane coming you would be better sheltered on your boat rather than finding somewhere on shore. When on a boat, there are windows, doors and hatches. Make sure you seal them up and make sure to shut off your boat's fuel lines. Once you do, and want to make sure that it is even more secured; take two anchors and tie the boat up and position it in the direction of the prevailing winds. If you make sure that all major factors of the boat like windows, doors, and hatches are all locked up and the boat it secured, then the boat will make it during the hurricane.  

 In addition, being in a car is not the smartest thing to do. It is risky if you do the following.

  • Don't go outside
  • Don't drive
  • Don't' go near exposed windows or glass.  

It is pretty obvious not to go outside for safety reasons. There are strong winds, heavy rain, and threat of lightning that make going outside a risky proposition. Don't drive. When the wind speed is high you car would not make it through, you may not either. Your car could become a projectile, or even damaged by the wind-blown debris during a hurricane.

In conclusion, being on a boat is much safer than a car for the reasons above and keep in mind all the things that can happen if you go out during a hurricane.
