Earthquakes & Cyclone

Topic: Earthquake - Yep, today we're going to talk about earthquakes. Causes of some earthquakes are very dangerous that even more than 1,000 houses can be destroyed. People who does not want to suffer may find a good place where they cant see anything shaking or something like that, but of course, its not easy to find one. Hmm.. maybe scientists may detect an earthquake if they made some kind of invention... but right now I dont think they can detect earthquakes. We only know if there's an earthquake when things begin to shake, and rocks tumble down from mountains ( small rocks ). The last country to be hit by an earthquake was the country China, Sichuan. We knew there was an earthquake by a Singaporean travelling there. Luckily, he was not one of the victims. Do you know what makes earthquakes? Well, Underneath the earth, there are plates the shape of our countries. Since they're not joined together, they move around fast. And sometimes, one of the plates will shake so fast that it hits another plate, therefore an earthquake is made. Since Singapore is the smallest plate, it quite a distance from other plates. So, I think that Singapore will most likely would not have one.

Topic: Cyclone - A Cyclone is a type of tornado, but its bigger than a tornado. It is made by very strong wind, and like a tornado, its picks up people and other things and throws them around, which means that when they hit the ground, they might most likely die. The last country to be hit by a Cyclone was the country Myanmmar, Burma. There were so many victims, that some people were to be dead or missing. Many people cried for their beloved ones, and after the Cyclone, they named it Cyclone Nargis. Luckily, only part of the country was wiped out by the Cyclone, at least there are still people in Myanmmar. I hope there will be no Cyclone in Singapore!
