An earthquake is a dangerous thing that happens. When there is an earthquake, part of the earth's surface moves and shakes. In a strong earthquake, the ground can break open and buildings can fall down. When buildings are damaged, fires often start.
Japan has many earthquakes, but luckily, most tall buildings are made strong enough so that they don't fall over during them. |
