Nonfiction– If Catalina Island Sinks, Look Out LA! But Not For 3 Million Years.

I read a nonfiction article about scientists saying that if Catalina sinks, it could lead to an underwater landslide. They were saying that every five years Catalina sinks one millimeter. And they also took underwater pictures of Catalina, and they said the one side was sinking more than the other.

One thing i never knew about Catalina, was the island was sinking 1 millimeter every year! Now i know that Catalina island could sink in 3 million years! If Catalina sinks, it could lad to landslides and that means a tsunami.

One sentence that really stood out to me was this one, ” if an underwater landslide happens again, there could be trouble.” I chose this sentence because if a tsunami happens, it would be terrible. and the tsunami would likely head towards the coast around Los Angles, long beach, and the orange county coast.
