Earthquades
Earthquakes may take place anywhere on the earth' s surface. During all earth quake, the vibrations make the earth's surface tremble, and even crack open. Houses fall, people are lilled or injured and sometimes whole cities are destroyed.
Can we do something to protect ourselves against earthquakes? Can we take precau tionary measures? We can. Scientists have made investigation on earthquakes. They have made maps showing the "earthquake belts". In areas along these belts, earthquakes are likely to occur. In these areas we can build special houses to resist earthquake shocks and protect ourselves.
in the future, scientists will be able to predict exactly when and where earthquakes will take place. Then they will be able to tell people to take precautionary measures. Thus lives can he saved and damage can be lessened.
地震
地震可能發生在地球表面的任何地方。地震時，震動使地表顫動甚至裂開。房屋坍塌，人員傷亡，有時整座城市變為廢墟。
我們能夠採取措施保護自己免遭地震傷害嗎?能採取預防措施嗎? 能。科學家們對地球進行了調查研究。他們繪製地圖示出了“地震帶”。沿著這些地震帶可能有地震發生。在這些地震區，我們可以修建特殊房屋來抗震和保護自己。將來，科學家們將能準確的預報地震將在什麽時候和什麽地方發生。然後他們會告訴人們採取預防措施。如此，生命可以得到拯救，損失可以減輕。
