This is my 6 lined poem.

__Frogs__

1. Ribbit! 2. Leap from lily to lily! 3. Zap! 4. Yummy flies for dinner! 5. I can see my ears! 6. Whoa! I think I'm to slimy I keep slipping!

//__Earthquakes__// 1. Rumble! Rumble! 2. I watch as people leap while the ground shakes and cracks. 3. I hear their cries for help. 4. There was recently a earthquake in Christchurch, New Zaland. 5. Happily no one died. 6. Now it's over all thats left are big piles of rumble.

This is my report on Earthquakes

__//Earthquakes//__ Earthquakes happen when the tectonic plates under the ground move apart, bump into each other or slide under each other. Tectonic plates makes the earth's surface, they are miles underneath the ground. The movement a tectonic plate can make can tear apart the earths surface. Earthquakes mostly occur in the water because 3 quarters of the world is sea. they can also occur in earthquake zones. Auckland is a volcanic zone because it is surrounded by volcanoes, so, it is more likely to have an eruption than it is to have an earthquake. Earthquakes are rated by the Richter scale. if an earthquake is rated level 1 it means no one can feel it. If it is rated level 2 it is 10x stronger than a level 1, a few people will feel a level 2 but mostly people who are at the top of tall buildings. In level 5 ones, most people feel them and some dishes breawk. In a level 6 one, heavy furniture moves and people get very scared but usually there's no serious damage. In level 8 one, some tall buildngs fall down and some people may die. To prepare for an earthqwuake drop on the groundr and crawl on your hands and knees. Cover yourself with anything hard like a desk or a table, if you can't find a desk or a table lie on the ground next to a wall that goes into another room. Do mot get to close to wires or switches, or else you could get electricuted. Hold onto your desk or table so if they move you will move with them. So now you should be prepared for an earthquake, and remember, if one does strike, DROP! COVER! HOLD! By Akshaya
