1. Natural Disasters
A LITTLE
DISASTER!
Today, in this little article, I will talk
about the earthquakes, which is a
natural disaster, product from the
plates tectonic, that moves backward
and forward, producing a lot of kinetic
energy and let it free in the moment
that it can’t resist.
The rift between two plates is
called “Fault”. Regularly, each
fault have its own mountain chain
that is developed by the crash of
the plates. Each fault have a
name, and in Central America, in
Mexico, we have the interaction
of 5 plates: Coco’s plate, Pacific
plate, Caribbean plate, North
America’s plate and Rivera’s plate.
This plates exist in all of the surface of
the earth and its movement produces
the earthquakes.
The earthquakes exist in all the
world, and if it could be appear,
the damage is too bad.
It is measured in a scale called “Righter
scale”, and this measure the power
with the plates was moved.
The place where the earthquake
begins, is denominated “Epicenter”,
and it stay active while the plate
collides with the other plates.

If an earthquake was in my city, I
could be very scared, because is a
horrible situation, but the best
thing to do is search a place free
of things that can fall down, like
furniture or the roof, and wait to
the earthquake finally.
