汶川地震英语作文
Strong earthquake hits China A powerful earthquake measuring 7.8 has hit China's southern province of Sichuan, shaking buildings as far away as Beijing, Shanghai and Bangkok.
It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties or damage from the tremor which the the US Geological Survey (UGS) earlier put at 7.8.
The epicentre of the quake was 93 kilometres north of Chengdu.
Wenchuan, which took full force of the quake, has a population of 111,000 people.
It is in an ethnic Tibetan area in Aba county which recently saw violent clashes between Tibetans and Chinese authorities.
According to some reports there was a second earthquake measuring 3.9 which hit the Beijing district of Tongzhou at roughly the same time.
Telephone lines in the affected area are jammed and there are still no reports of casualties.
Reports from Thailand say high buildings in Bangkok continued to shake several minutes after the tremors began.
We felt continuous shaking for about two or three minutes. All the people in our office are rushing downstairs. We're still feeling slight tremblings, said an office worker in Chengdu.
China's tallest building, the Jinmao Tower, and other highrise buildings in Shanghai's financial district were evacuated after tremors were first felt.
People were shouting 'get out, get out', so we all ran out of our dorm, said a student surnamed Zhang at a university in nearby Chongqing.
A spokesman for the China Earthquake Administration said it was still checking the epicentre and scale of the tremor. 英语作文 China Wenchuan earthquake Like many people in the UK, the team at BBC Learning English have been shocked and saddened by news of the earthquake in Sichuan province. We would like to extend our condolences to those affected by this terrible
natural disaster. Below is a special report on the earthquake and the rescue operations taking place.
和在英国的很多人一样，BBC 英语教学组的全体成员对五月十二号发生在四川省的地震消息感到震惊和悲痛。在这里我们对受害者表示最深切的哀悼，向那些受地震影响的'人们深表同情。下面是对这次地震和地震营救行动的一篇特别报道。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescue efforts are underway in China’s Sichuan province following Monday’s devastating earthquake 灾难性的地震, which measured 7.9 on the Richter Scale 里氏震级.
According to Xinhua news agency, nearly 15,000 people have died in the disaster, with as many as 24,000 more trapped under rubble 碎石，碎砖 from collapsing buildings and another 14,000 declared missing 申报失踪.
Prime Minister Wen Jiabao has visited the area to personally oversee relief work （抗震）救灾工作, and is flying to the epicentre 震中 of the earthquake today.
Chinese troops have been mobilised 调动 to carry out rescue operations and emergency aid 紧急救护 has been
air-dropped 空降 into areas that have been cut off by the disaster.
Bad weather has hered 阻碍 relief efforts and in some cases rescuers have had to trek into the disaster area 受灾地区 by foot and search for trapped survivors 生还者 by hand as roads have been blocked by debris 瓦砾碎片.
Some residents of the provincial capital 首府 Chengdu have chosen to sleep in tents and government shelters for fear of aftershocks 余震 causing more damage.
One witness in Chengdu told the BBC the city’s population is helping the relief work by donating 捐献food and water for those affected in the surrounding countryside.
Financial aid 经济救助 has been pouring in 大量涌进from all over China, with the Chinese government pledging hundreds of millions of dollars. Substantial donations from other countries and humanitarian organisations have also been pledged 承诺，给予（援助）.
Although full casualty figures 伤亡数字 are not yet certain, it is clear that Monday’s earthquake is the worst to strike China since the Tangshan earthquake of 1976.
An 英语作文：What is earthquake?
earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves （地震波）. Earthquakes are recorded with a seismometer （地震检波器）, also known as a seismograph（地震仪）. The moment magnitude of an earthquake is conventionally reported, or the related and mostly obsolete Richter magnitude(里氏量级）, with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being mostly imperceptible 感觉不到的and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas. Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale（麦加利震级, 麦氏震级）.
At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by a shaking and sometimes displacement （位移）of the ground. When a large earthquake epicenter （震中）is located offshore, the seabed sometimes suffers sufficient displacement to cause a tsunami（海啸）. The shaking in earthquakes can also trigger landslides and occasionally volcanic activity.
In its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event—whether a natural phenomenon or an event caused by humans—that generates
seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture （破裂, 裂开） of geological faults（断层）, but also by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments.
An earthquake's point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter. The term epicenter means the point at ground level directly above this.
An earthquake (also known as a quake) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. The seismicity, seismism or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time. 地震（也称为地震，地震或地震）是一个突然释放的能量在地球的地壳地震波产生的结果。地震活动，地震或地震活动面积是指频率，类型和在一段时间内经历了地震的大小。 There are three main types of fault, all of which may cause an interplate earthquake: normal, reverse (thrust) and strike-slip. Normal and reverse faulting are examples of dip-slip, where the displacement along the fault is in the direction of dip and movement on them involves a vertical component. Normal faults occur mainly in areas where the crust is being extended such as a divergent boundary. Reverse faults occur in areas where the crust is being shortened such as at a convergent boundary. Strike-slip faults are steep structures where the two sides of the fault slip horizontally past each other; transform boundaries are a particular type of strike-slip fault. Many earthquakes are caused by movement on faults that have components of both dip-slip and strike-slip; this is known as oblique slip. 有故障的三种主要类型，所有这些都可能导致板内地震：正常，反（逆）

Today, there are ways to protect and prepare possible sites of earthquakes from severe damage, through the following processes: earthquake engineering, earthquake preparedness, household seismic safety, seismic retrofit (including special fasteners, materials, and techniques), seismic hazard, mitigation of seismic motion, and earthquake prediction. Seismic retrofitting is the modification of existing structures to make them more
第一篇： A horrible earthquake happened in japan.The enormous wave of ten meter height washed away all the coast area northwest of the country. But what’s more is nuclear power station explosion. Though a lot of countries including China have sent many rescues to help the Japanese, but the Japanese are still in misery,for there’s many people killed in the earthquake. A strong earthquake attacked Japan at 1:46pm. I was shocked when I heard about the bad news. Why there were so many disasters in the world? I looked up some files about the top fourteen worst earthquakes in the past one hundred years from internet. And some earthquakes even came with tsunamis. It was said that 300 thousands of people died in 2004 as a result of the earthquake and tsunami happened in Indonesia. And 242 thousands of citizens died in Tangshan Earthquake in 1976 in China. Also in 2008, another big earthquake happened in China, and more than 7 thousands passed away. How awful it is when we talk about these figures. Everyone should cherish what we have now. I felt scary when I watched 2012. But the disasters happened are more fearful. Dalian is not far away from Japan, my colleague told me that she would be too panic to go to bed tonight. It is funny. I did not worry about that. No one can expect what will happen in the next minute. Just enjoy every minute in our life. It is enough~ strong earthquake attacked Japan at 1:46pm.

All of those broken bones in northern Japan, all of those broken lives and those broken homes prompt us to remember what in calmer times we are invariably minded to forget: the most stern and chilling of mantras, which holds, quite simply, that mankind inhabits this earth subject to geological consent—which can be withdrawn at any time. For hundreds, maybe for thousands of people, this consent was withdrawn with shocking suddenness—all geological events are sudden, and all are unexpected if not necessarily entirely unanticipated—at 2:46 on this past clear, cool spring Friday afternoon. One moment all were going about their quotidian business—in offices, on trains, in rice fields, in stores, in schools, in warehouses, in shrines—and then the ground began to shake. At first, the shock was merely a much stronger and longer version of the temblors to which most Japanese are well accustomed. There came a stunned silence, as there always does. But then, the difference: a few minutes later a low rumble from the east, and in a horrifying replay of the Indian Ocean tragedy of just some six years before, the imagery of which is still hauntingly in all the world’s mind, the coastal waters off the northern Honshu vanished, sucked mysteriously out to sea. The rumbling continued, people then began to spy a ragged white line on the horizon, and, with unimaginable ferocity, the line became visible as a wall of waves sweeping back inshore at immense speed and at great height. Just seconds later and these Pacific Ocean waters hit the Japanese seawalls, surmounted them with careless ease, and began to claw across the land beyond in what would become a dispassionate and detached orgy of utter destruction. We all now know, and have for 50 years, that geography is the ultimate reason behind the disaster. Japan is at the junction of a web of tectonic-plate boundaries that make it more peculiarly vulnerable to ground-shaking episodes than almost anywhere else—and it is a measure of Japanese engineering ingenuity, of social cohesion, of the ready acceptance of authority and the imposition of necessary discipline that allows so many to survive these all-too-frequent displays of tectonic power. But geography is not the only factor in this particular and acutely dreadful event. Topography played an especially tragic role in the story, too—for it is an axiom known to all those who dwell by high-tsunami-risk coastlines that when the sea sucks back, you run: you run inland and, if at all possible, you run uphill. But in this corner of northeast Japan, with its wide plains of rice meadows and ideal factory sites and conveniently flat airport locations, there may well be a great deal of inland—but there is almost no uphill. Such mountains as exist are far away, blue and distant in the west. All here is coastal plain. And so the reality is this: if a monstrous wave is chasing you inland at the speed of a jetliner, and if the flat topography all around denies you any chance of sprinting to a hilltop to try to escape its wrath, then you can make no mistake—it will catch you, it will drown you, and its forces will pulverize you out of all recognition as a thing of utter insignificance, which of course, to a tsunami, all men and women and their creations necessarily must be. 所有这些骨折在日本北部,所有这些破碎的生活和那些破碎的家庭促使我们希望记住在平静
地震科普知识资料 地震是一种自然现象，地球上每年要发生地震500多万次，其中只有5万多次左右人们能感觉得到，并不是所有的地震都能造成破坏，为什么会发生地震，地震发生会有哪几种类型？我们该怎样面对地震？下面我们向大家做一简要介绍。 第一部分地震基础知识 为什么会发生地震？ 地震是地球运动的结果。地球运动中，地壳也在不断运动变化。 地球的运动变化逐渐积累了巨大的能量，对地下岩石产生了非常强的作用力，当岩石承受不了这种力时，就会突然发生破裂和错动。 地震是指地壳中因岩体错动断裂而释放能量引起的地表振动。 岩石破裂产生地震波，地震波传到地表，地面随之就振动起来，这就是地震。 地震发生会有哪几种类型呢？ 天然地震主要有三种类型：火山地震、陷落地震和构造地震。 火山地震是由于火山喷发，使岩浆冲击地表而引起的地面振动。火山地震影响范围比较小，造成的破坏相对较小。 陷落地震是由于地层陷落引起的地面振动。比如地下的石灰岩溶洞坍塌，或者矿山采空区的塌陷，都会引起小范围的地面振动。这种地震一般破坏程度不大。 我们平时所说的地震叫构造地震。 构造地震是由于地下深处岩层错动、破裂所造成的。这类地震大约占
到全球地震数的90%以上，而且振动的强度大，影响的范围广，所以对人类的威胁也就最大。 地震是有大小的。地震的大小用震级表示，地震越强，震级越大。按震级大小可把地震划分为以下几类： 地震震级分为弱震、有感地震、破坏型地震、严重破坏型地震。 弱震：一般指3级以下地震，这种地震通常人们感觉不到，只有仪器才能记录得到。 有感地震：一般指3级以上、5级以下地震，这类地震人们能感觉得到，但一般不会造成破坏。全球每年大约发生3级以上地震5万余次。破坏型地震：一般指5级以上、能够对地表及其建筑设施造成破坏的地震。全球平均每年大约发生5级以上地震1000次左右。 严重破坏型地震：指7级以上地震。全球每年要发生这样的地震10到20次，不过大多数发生在海洋和荒芜人烟的地方。 震级每相差一级，它们的能量相差30多倍，也就是说，一个7级地震相当于将近1000个5级地震所产生的能力。 地震发生时，会产生地震波，人们感觉到的振动是由于地震波传播造成的。 地震时，往往是先感到上下颠动，然后左右摇晃。这是由于地震波的特性引起的。地震波主要由纵波、横波等组成，纵波传播速度快，但比较弱，使人有上下颠簸的感觉；横波传播速度略慢，但比较强，能造成巨大的摇晃，给地表建筑带来严重破坏。 地震的破坏程度，除跟震级的大小有关外，还与震源深度、震中距、
