英语作文 地震
An earthquake is a shaking of the ground caused by the sudden breaking and shifting of large sections of Earth's rocky outer shell.
Earthquakes are among the most powerful events on earth, and their results can be terrifying. A severe earthquake may release energy 10,000 times as great as that of the first atomic bomb. Rock movements during an earthquake can make rivers change their course.
Earthquakes can trigger landslides that cause great damage and loss of life.
Large earthquakes beneath the ocean can create a series of
huge, destructive waves called tsunamis (pronounced tsoo
NAH meez) that flood coasts for many miles. Earthquakes
almost never kill people directly. Instead, many deaths and
injuries in earthquakes result from falling objects and the
collapse of
buildings,
bridges, and
other
structures.
Fire resulting
from broken
gas or power lines is another major danger during a quake. Spills of
hazardous chemicals are also a concern during an earthquake.
The force of an earthquake depends on how much rock breaks
and how far it shifts. Powerful earthquakes can shake firm
ground violently for great distances. During minor earthquakes,
the vibration may be no greater than the vibration caused by a
passing truck.
