Earthquake is one of
the most destroying natural
disasters. Unluckily it often
happens in several regions.
Recently a horrible
earthquake has shaken West
Sumatra. It has brought
great damages. Why did it
occur? Do you know how an
earthquake happens?
Earthquakes are usually
caused when rock
underground suddenly
breaks along a fault. This
sudden release of energy
causes the seismic waves. It
make the ground shake.
When two blocks of rock or
two plates are rubbing
against each other, they
stick a little. They dont just
slide smoothly. The rocks are
still pushing against each
other, but not moving. After
a while, the rocks break
because of all the pressure
thats built up. When the
rocks break, the earthquake
occurs.During the
earthquake and afterward,
the plates or blocks of rock
start moving, and they
continue to move until they
get stuck again. The spot
underground where the rock

breaks is called the focus of

the earthquake. The place
right above the focus is
called the epicenter of the
earthquake.

Rain is the primary source of
fresh water for most areas of the
world, providing suitable conditions
for diverse ecosystems, as well as
water for hydroelectric power
plants and crop irrigation.
The phenomenon of rain is
actually a water circle. The concept
of the water cycle involves the sun
heating the Earths surface water
and causing the surface water to
evaporate. The water vapor rises
into the Earths atmosphere. The
water in the atmosphere cools and
condenses into liquid droplets. The
droplets grow until they are heavy
and fall to the earth as
precipitation which can be in the
form of rain or snow.
However, not all rain
reaches the surface. Some
evaporates while falling through
dry air. This is called virga, a
phenomenon which is often seen in
hot, dry desert regions.

phenomenon under the very high

happenings begin when the sunlight
passing through the raindrops. Then
the light is deflected to the center of
the droplet. The white light, now
separated from each other into a
spectrum of colors. The process
does not stop there. The colors that
have been separated, then separate
again into the very small portions.

The Fan is an electronic
device that everybody use it in their
house. People use the fan to make
the air in the room cooler, especially
in hot day. However ,do you know

air ahead of it forward. Each blade
does this on a continuous basis, and
the result is a moving air stream.
The fan is taking air from the area
behind itself and blowing it out the

Many people who are alive

Television as we know is only about
forty years old. Yet it is so much a
part of our lives that it seems as if

Some people think that the
years before the invention of
television were a better time. They
claim that families talked more and
did more things together. More
books were read. People used their
imaginations more fully. People got
more outdoor exercises.But others
disagree. They claim that
television is a powerful educational
tool. It informs us of what is going
on in the world, from a famine in
Africa to a local politics and
fashion. It helps us understand
how people live, work, and
struggle.In 1961, Newton Minow, a
government official, called primetime schedules a vast
wasteland. Television is credited
with being a great teacher, but it is
also blamed for the poor reading
and writing skills of our population.
Television gets praised for helping
us understand the people of the
world. But it has been accused of
helping to destroy family life.
Television keeps us informed about
the political issues of the day.
Experts will probably continue to
argue about televisions value. But
everyone agrees that it is one of
the most significant inventions of
the twentieth century.
