Hi Mate,
Speech on Earthquake:
Good Morning Hon’ble Principal Ma’am, Teachers and My Dear Friends!
Good Morning Hon’ble Principal Ma’am, Teachers and My Dear Friends!As we know that our area has recently witnessed an earthquake and people have faced a lot of destruction. Buildings were collapsed and people living in the buildings were died or highly injured. To help the victims, our school has organized a camp to give relive to the people who have faced losses due to the destruction caused by the earthquake. The students and other people who are voluntarily interested in helping those people by food, clothing etc could visit the camp sited in the school playground. We all have sympathy for them and thus I hope that they will get enough help from all of us. But before the camp starts, I would like to discuss some information about the occurring of an earthquake because it has became very important to understand the reason behind an earthquake.
An earthquake could be measured by the frequency, type and size of the earthquake experienced over a passage of time. Some of the earthquakes are less harmful due to low frequency and some of them are so violent that they could destroy everything.

Asia witnesses maximum earthquakes according to scale. Many countries across the world had faced worst destructions due to earthquakes.

Planting more and more trees in our surroundings where ever possible could be a big help in this matter. Deduction in the usage of fuels that produces C02 or other harmful gasses will help in reducing pollution which causes climatic changes and many other problems.

earthquake
An earthquake is the shaking of the surface of the Earth. Earthquakes can be extremely violent. They are caused by weird movements of the Earth's tectonic plates.
The study of earthquakes is called seismology. Earthquakes are usually quite brief, but may repeat. The sudden release of tension in the tectonic plates sends waves of energy that travel through the Earth. Seismology studies the cause, frequency, type and size of earthquakes.
There are large earthquakes and small earthquakes. Large earthquakes can take down buildings and cause death and injury. Earthquakes are measured using observations from things. The magnitude of an earthquake, and the intensity of shaking, is usually reported on the Richter scale. The Richter Scale was invented by Charles Francis Richter in 1935. On the scale, 2 is scarcely noticeable, and magnitude 5 (or more) causes damage over a wide area.
An earthquake under the ocean can cause a tsunami. This can cause just as much death and destruction as the earthquake itself. Landslides can happen, too. Earthquakes are part of the Earth's rock cycle. The impact can be measured by a seismometer. It detects the vibrations caused by an earthquake. It puts these movement on a seismograph. The strength, or magnitude, of an earthquake is measured using the Richter scale. The Richter scale is numbered 0-9.Now the largest ever measured is 9.5.
Scientists cannot view a major earthquake beforehand. They do know where earthquakes may occur, such as close to the fault lines.
Advice on what to do in an earthquake:
a) If you are indoors:-
- Take cover under a table or bench. If there is no table or desk, sit against a wall away from things that might fall on you and stay away from windows, bookcases or tall, heavy furniture.
- Wait in your safety spot until the shaking of ground stops and then check to see if you are hurt. Check others around you too. Move carefully and look out for fallen things.
- There may be aftershocks or smaller earthquakes quite soon after. So be prepared.
- If you want to leave the building after the shaking stops, use the stairs, never use elevators
b) If you are outdoors :-
- Stay away from tall buildings, trees, street lamps, and power lines. Duck and cover.
