14、quake As we all know, an earthquake is a kind of mon disasters. It can cause great damage to people. Have you ever experienced an earthquake?(Students answers) Can you describe your feelings at that time? Why does an earthquake happen? Scientists believe that the surface of the earth is covered by a
15、 number of moving plates such as the Pacific plate, the Indian plate, the Eurasian plate, and so on. Sometimes two plates move towards and push against each other. Sometimes they stop for years but at other times they jump and an earthquake is felt. An earthquake is the result of the movement of the
16、se plates. We know China is a country where many earthquakes happen. Why does China have a lot of earthquakes? Because the Pacific plate is pushing China from the east and the Indian plate is pushing China from the southwest. The power of this movement created the Himalayas and Mount Qomolangma. It
17、now causes earthquakes in China. Take the Wenchuan earthquake for example, the Indian plate moved northwards and put pressure on the Eurasian plate. It led to the rise of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Then the risen Qinghai-Tibet Plateau moved eastwards and put pressure on Sichuan Basin. At last, the W
18、enchuan earthquake happened. Wenchuan is located on solid rock of the active earthquake belt, which makes the quake spread very far. It was felt in many provinces in China, including Shanxi Province. Usually we can see dark clods in the sky before rain. Dark clouds are a sign of rain. Similarly, som
19、ething unusual often happens before an earthquake. What do you think will happen before an earthquake? There are bright lights in the sky. Chickens are flying and dogs are barking, and pigs and cows are too nervous to eat. Fish jump out of the pond, and mice ran widely out of the fields. The well ha
20、s deep cracks in it and the water in it rises and falls. If we can read these signs from nature, its very useful for us to make good preparations for the ing disaster.
