Earthquakes Report by Michael

Earthquakes are terrible because they kill people.

Plates
The tectonic plates can go up and down or left and right. Two scrape together and one loses its balance which causes an earthquake. The tectonic plates are inside the earth.

Damage
The Christchurch earthquake knocked down the church and people’s lives were lost in the earthquake. In Japan a tsunami was caused by an earthquake in the ocean. It washed houses and cars and buildings with it.

Safety
If an earthquake happens you have to get under a table with your hands on your head to protect it and hold on to a leg of the table

Conclusion
Earthquakes are terrible because they kill people.
