“Earth Quake-Precautions You Can Take. Using Detail Information on Before, During and After an Earth Quake.”
When we hear the word earthquake we get goose bumps because the word reminds fear in our minds does it not? Yes, it does, we think that an earthquake can kill us any moment destroying our homes into dust. Science tells that; Earthquake is the shaking of the earth’s surface caused by rapid movement of the earth’s rocky outer layer. Earthquakes occur when energy stored within the earth suddenly releases, the size varies from small hardly noticeable shaking, to large shocks which can be felt from miles around. Earthquakes can tear up the ground, make buildings and other structures collapse, and create large sea waves; but our mind describe it as a natural disaster which can take all the happiness of our life and fill it with sorrow. In one moment a major earthquake can destroy a city and kill all most one third of the people. We think that when an earthquake occurs we can get out of our house and run to some street or go under our bed and etc but when it really occurs we become so terrified and nervous that nothing comes to our mind at that time and before you know it you have been squashed and you are dead ; but those who are Lucky and think quick and take precautions they live. Thus we should be prepared for that time.
When earthquakes take place it can cause fires by damaging electrical power or gas lines and become very difficult to stop the spread of a fire as most of the cities roads will be blocked with dirt and pieces of buildings and more deaths may be caused by fire than by the earthquake itself. Earthquakes may lead to a great loss of life. Huge number of cars, houses, hospitals, schools, malls and general property may be damaged. Road and bridge might collapse making transportation almost impossible. Earthquakes can also lead to volcanic eruptions which can cause further problems.
