A visit
Becky was visiting Aunt Agatha at her house at the beach. It was a
beautiful summer day. Becky had built a giant sand castle that morning.
Aunt Agatha took pictures of the castle to send to Becky’s parents. It was
a great big sand castle. Later that morning, Becky and Aunt Agatha went
swimming in the ocean. It was fun to jump
with the waves. Then, they went in the house
and ate sandwiches and strawberries for lunch.
Becky wanted to play on the beach that
afternoon. Aunt Agatha told her it was too hot
to go outside without a hat on. Becky didn’t
have a hat. Aunt Agatha told her not to worry,
she could wear one of hers. Becky tried on
four hats. The pink one was really pretty, but
it had a big bow in the back that was too long
for Becky. The green hat was too fancy for
Becky. She did not like that hat at all. The
blue hat was nice, but it had an ugly bird on it.
Then, Becky saw a big brown hat with a
yellow ribbon on it. That hat was made of straw. It was a perfect hat for
the beach. It was too big for Becky’s head but she didn’t care. It was a
great hat.
Earthquakes are the shaking and moving of the ground when energy is
released in waves. These waves are called seismic waves. These waves
are similar to ocean waves, which move through water. Seismic waves,
however, move through the ground. Most earthquakes are caused by
the movement of large sections of the Earth’s crust, called plates. The
place where two plates meet is called a fault. Faults look like large
cracks in the ground. If the two plates move in different directions, they
build up energy at the fault line. When enough energy builds up, the
stress on the fault becomes too great and it ruptures. This releases the
energy and the ground starts to shake.
Earthquakes can also be caused by other natural events, such as
landslides and volcanoes. Manmade earthquakes happen because of
nuclear testing and mining explosions. The first movement of an
earthquake, called the main shock, is often followed by smaller ground
trembles, called aftershocks. These aftershocks are the plates settling
into their new position.
Aftershocks can continue for days after the main shock. There are an
estimated 500,000 earthquakes around the world each year. Most are
so mild they are only recorded on scientific instruments. Only about
100,000 can be felt by humans. Of these, only about 19 a year cause
major damage.
Major earthquakes in populated areas can cause huge destruction.
Buildings collapse, roads and bridges buckle and crack, and electrical
and gas lines break and cause fi res. If the earthquake happens in the
ocean, it makes a series of huge ocean waves called a tsunami. The
tsunami travels until it finally reaches land, where it causes large
flooding.
Scientists are searching for ways to predict earthquakes. They study the
historical patterns of earthquakes and monitor the movement of the
plates with seismic equipment. While they cannot predict an exact date
of a future earthquake, they have a better understanding of when
earthquakes are more likely to happen.
