Have you ever heard anything about earthquakes from your parents? Every year earthquakes are responsible for (对……负责) a large number of deaths and a great deal of destruction in different parts of the world. There are about a million earthquakes a year. Luckily, however, not all of them are destructive. The biggest earthquake recorded to date is 8.9. A terrible earthquake happened in Tangshan in 1976. All the houses and buildings fell down. About 242 000 people lost their lives in the earthquake. Why do earthquakes happen? Scientists explain that the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates. When some plates of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. They often happen near the mountains.
During an earthquake the shakings, make rocks rise suddenly and even crack(断裂) open. Houses fall, people are killed or hurt and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed. Can we do anything to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show the “earthquake belts”. In areas in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we should build strong houses to tight against earthquakes. In the future, scientists will be able to tell when and where an earthquake will be before they happen. They can also tell people what to do and how to do.
