Some countries have large numbers of earthquakes. Japan is one of them. Others do not have
many: for example, there are few earthquakes in Britain. There is often a great noise during an
earthquake. The ground vibrates, houses fall down, and railway lines are broken. Trains run off the
lines .Sometimes thousands of people are killed in different ways.
Earthquakes often happen near volcanoes, but this is not always true. The epicenter of some
might occur under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the
earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves travel long distances
and rush over the land. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings;
sometimes they break more buildings than the earthquake itself. This is what happened recently in
Japan.
What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete walls is perhaps
the best. A steel frame will make it even stronger. The frame holds the different parts together and
the walls do not easily fall. There is less chance of fire because concrete and steel do not burn.
