The first article is about two unrelated earthquakes that hit the coasts of Japan and Indonesia but there were no damages of deaths.

The second article is about Hurricane Ike that hit Texas.

4.) Which disaster was more disastrous?


Hurricane Ike was definitely more disastrous.


5.) Compare and contrast the two disasters.

I don't think that the earthquakes that hit the coasts of Indonesia and Japan could really count as disasters, more like almost disasters. Hurricane Ike is definitely a disaster because there are probably millions of dollars in damages and there have already been some deaths.
