Dear Students
Welcome to my blog. Here, I am going to share a lot of ideas with you. This page aims to bring technology into the EFL classroom.
I so much hope that you will enjoy your time here.
I look forward to reading your comments.
Cheers,

Writing topic 28:Natural Disasters:Earthquakes
In this task, we are going to share our ideas on EARTHQUAKES.
What causes Earthquakes? What are the effects of Earthquakes?
The energy released from the earth's crust as a result of the unexpected earthquake that occurred at a time of seismic waves and these waves is the event shook the earth. As a result of the earthquake occurs in the earth's crust cracks and scratches, fires floods may occur in my country some of our people died in the past has been, and unfortunately some of them wounded, escaped from the earthquake van, but it remains most people's homes have been destroyed Red Crescent tent in the winter most of them in very cold weather and lack of clean water makes it difficult to work
Firstly, the earthquake is the really big disaster for the people. People can take limited measure in the face of this disaster. They can build solid building, can choose true ground for buildings and can allow to build away from the fault line but a very large earthquake can devastate everything. I think there are two type earthquakes. One of them natural earthquake, other is man-made earthquake. Generally, natural earthquakes are uncontrollable. But, man-made earthquakes can control by good people. If you say 'What is the man-made earthquake? It is absurd!' I say you 'You search H.A.A.R.P. technology!'. Shortly, I believe in, some bad people can make earthquake. Anyway, we back to the subject. The earthquake may cause death. The governments must take measure as far as for the earthquake and we must show reaction against bad people and we and goverments must help to people who lost their house, who die their family, who in need of assistance like hunger, thirst.

Here are a few interesting facts about earthquake.
In 350 BC, Aristotle, a Greek philosopher, discovered the soft ground shakes more than the hard and rocky ground when an earthquake occurs.
In America, the European settlers experienced an earthquake in the mid 17th century. However, the Spanish explorers made the earliest report of an earthquake in 1769. This occurred 30 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
In 1556, January 23, an earthquake occurred in Shansi, China killing approximately 830,000 people. This earthquake is considered as the deadliest in the history of mankind.
In 1751, primitive seismographs were first built; the reason for the occurrences of an earthquake was determined only in 1855.
An interesting statistics about earthquake is, there were 46 major earthquakes around the globe from 1900-1949. That is in a year the average is 1.08. However, between 1950 and 1999 an average of 1.64 earthquakes had occurred worldwide. That is 82 earthquakes were reported worldwide. Another interesting statistics is between 2000 and 2004, 10 major earthquakes have been reported world wide at an average of 2.5 earthquakes per year. You must have realized the magnitude and the frequency of the earthquake is increasing every year.
Many people believe the lunar cycle influences the earthquakes. However, it is not true because moon never influences earthquakes.
Reports show several million detectable earthquakes occur worldwide. However, the tremors of only 20% of the earthquake could be felt. The reason is the tremors are small or because the earthquakes occur in remote areas.
On May 22, 1960 an earthquake of magnitude 9.5 struck Southern Chile. This is the largest earthquake ever recorded. It killed thousands and around two million were left homeless. The intensity of this earthquake caused tsunami in the shores as far as Japan killing around 140 people.
An interesting fact about earthquake is that southern California witnesses an average of 10,000 earthquakes in a year. However, majority of these earthquakes are minor tremors that go unnoticed. Only 15 to 20 earthquakes are greater than magnitude 4.0.
Another interesting fact is the fault San Andreas is a series of faults known as fault zone and not a single fault. The length of this fault zone is more than 800 miles and up to 10 miles deep. An earthquake could occur along one of these fault zones at any time.
San Francisco Bay area is susceptible to major earthquakes. The middle portion of the Bay Bridge collapsed in the 1989 earthquake of Loma Prieta. Many motorists were killed because they were trapped between the beams.
It is true that animals can sense or detect earthquakes before it occurs. However, the behavior of the animals cannot be used as one of the methods to predict an occurrence of an earthquake. This is an unsolved mystery and scientists are still racking their brains as to what the animals would be sensing before the occurrence of an earthquake.
When the Earth shakes due to the movements of plates under the earth's crust,it is known as an earthquake.Earthquakes are natural disasters,which can kill thousands of people in an instant and can destroy cities and countries.The vibrations have the potential to wreak have during an earthquake and ause desteuction beyond imagination because they cannot be predicted.The earthquake is the biggest disaster for people.I think,people should build solid buildings and they should choose an appropiate location,ground,area for buildins.A few months ago 7,2 magnitude earthquake occured in Van.Therefore,a lot of people lost their lives and families and some people remained uner the wreckage and they couldn't be taken out of the wreckage. In conclusion,people should be informed about what actions to take during an earthquake and every home should have a first aid kit.
