A Strong earthquake hit YuShu and destroyed it seriously.Which event in YuShu do you think is the most moving?There is a survey about this recently.The results can be listed as follows.

43 percent of the people choose the event that HuangFurong who came from HongKong sacrificed his own life to save the students and teachers in ruins.24% support the electricity worker who died of overwork to restore the electricity supply owing to public service.20% are in favor of an old man who made a living by performing in the street in ShenZhen but donated his money to the disaster area twice.13% choose the event that the school at which nobody was injured in the earthquake resumed classes quickly and was called the proudest one.

Different people have different ideas.I will choose the event concerned with HuangFurong.It is my honor to introduce some backgrounds about him.He once participated in the rescue of WenChuan earthquake in 2008.He himself was not healthy enough.But he insisted on public service diligently without any payment for many years .Though not rich, he tried his best to help the people who need help,especially the poor.He was awarded the honorary citizen of HongKong after his death by Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.To spread his spirit,the young in Hong Kong form an organization named after him now.He is called Afu, according to Chinese custom and he will be remembered by all the Chinese people.In my view,Afu is a hero who can move me to tears .Only by learning from him and doing something to help others,can we make contributions to a better society.

1935年，美国地质学家里克特按地震强度的标准划分，把地震释放出来的能量由小到大分成微震、弱震和强震三类，细分则有9级，烈度每增加1级，地震释放能量增大30倍。

微震不易感觉;弱震可以使窗户、地板、器皿发生抖动，吊灯晃动，危房倒掉;强震可以使屋倒房塌、山体崩裂，产生滑坡和泥石流，人畜伤亡大。

据此标准，一千多年前的杭州那次地震能使房屋倒塌，已构成危害，属于弱震与强震之间。浙江省地震局的研究员杨毅、姚立珣，也曾有专文探讨那次地震的烈度。据发生房屋倒塌及赈灾情况，他们认为，杭州公元929年地震烈度在5.25级。

遗憾的是，公元929年地震并没有留下更多详细的记载。此后南宋杭州，也陆续发生过6次4级左右的地震。

Qinghai lies in the northeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau, which formed due to the ongoing collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate. The main deformation in this area is crustal shortening, but there is also a component of left lateral strike-slip faulting on major west–east trending structures such as the Kunlun and Altyn Tagh fault systems that accommodate southeastward translation of the Tibetan area. More For Yushu earthquake.

青海位于青藏高原的东北部，由于印度板块与欧亚板块的碰撞，形成了青藏高原。这一地区的主要变形是地壳缩短，但在主要的西东趋势结构上，也有一种左旋的断裂作用，如昆仑和Altyn Tagh的断层系统，以适应西藏地区的翻译。为玉树地震。

The earthquake occurred on the Yunshu fault,about 300 kilometres (186 mi) south of the Kunlun fault. The Yunshu fault forms part of the Yushu-Garzê-Xianshuihe fault zone (玉树-甘孜-鲜水河断裂带), one of the most active fault zones in eastern Tibet.In history, many earthquakes with magnitude greater than 7 have occurred in the Xianshuihe fault zone,[此为地域名] for example, the magnitude 7.25 earthquake in the Luhuo area on March 24, 1923, and the Ms 7.6 earthquake on Febuary 6, 1973 in Luhuo.

这次地震发生在距昆仑断裂带以南约300公里(186英里)的玉树地区。(Joozone Note:在这里yushu也可以拼做：Yunshu)。玉树地区是“玉树-甘孜-鲜水河断裂带”的一部分，它是西藏东部最活跃的断裂带之一。历史上，大量的超过七级的地震都发生在鲜水河断裂带，比如，1923年3月24日，在炉霍地区发生的7.25级地震，和1973年2月6日在炉霍地区发生的MS 7.6级地震。翻译由作文地带提供。

Almost all sections of the Xianshuihe fault zone have produced strong earthquakes in records, except the sections of Yushu and Shimian (石棉). However, a trace of a strong earthquake occurred about 16 000 or 17 000 years ago has been found in Shimian. Hence, the Shimian section of the Xianshuihe fault zone is speculated to be currently locked and have the possibility of producing strong earthquake in the future.

据史料记载，除玉树和石棉之外，几乎所有的发生在鲜水河断裂带的地震都非常的强烈。然而，在石棉县发生的一次强烈地震被发现，此次地震发生在约16万或17万年前。因此，鲜水河断裂带的石棉县地带已经被锁定为在未来可能会产生强震。

北京时间17日6时54分左右，智利西部海岸连发两次7.9级地震。其中一次7.9级强震的震中在智利西北部海域，震源深度8.3公里。另一次地震的震中则相对偏南，震源深度33公里。之后，美国地质勘查局将智利地震级别从7.9级上调至8.3级。此外，太平洋海啸预警中心已经发布海啸预警，称可能会出现“广泛而危险”的海啸。图为首都圣地亚哥震感强烈，建筑物摇晃，民众纷纷跑上街头避险。

美国地质勘探局网站称，此次地震震级为8.3级，震源深度12.5公里，震中距离圣地亚哥232公里。地质勘探局已经记录了2次余震，震级均超过6级。

智利大学的地震学家则称，震级为7.2级，震源深度11公里，震中距离圣地亚哥约500公里。

太平洋海啸预警中心已经发布海啸预警，称可能会出现“广泛而危险”的海啸。

圣地亚哥震感强烈，惊恐的居民涌上街头。报道称，远在1400公里以外的阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯也有震感。

北京时间今天早晨6点54分左右，智利西部海域发生了8.3级的地震，目前智利沿海已经观测到强大海啸抵达，消息称部分地区可以观测到高达3米的巨浪。智利首都圣地亚哥震感强烈，随后太平洋海啸预警中心发布海啸预警，称可能会出现广泛而危险的海啸，智利当局已经要求民众撤离。

根据美国地质勘探局的网站说，此次地震的震级是8.3级，震源深度12.5公里，震中是智利的伊亚佩尔市，距智利首都圣地亚哥232公里。美国地质勘探局已经记录了两次余震，震级都是超过6级，不过智利大学的地震学专家说，震级是7.2级，震源深度是11公里，震中距圣地亚哥大约500公里。

智利首都圣地亚哥震感强烈。根据一些图片可以看到，当地惊恐的居民纷纷涌上街头，在大街或者空旷的区域避险。有报道说，远在1400公里外的阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯也有震感。

智利位于环太平洋地震带上，境内多火山，是地震的多发国，地震的活动平时也比其他国家多，历史上曾经发生过多次造成重大伤亡的大地震。目前智利的伊亚佩尔市当地政府部门已经通报了伤亡情况，有1人死亡，20多人受伤。死亡的是1名当地女性，她不幸被倒塌下来的建筑物砸到。地震发生后，目前收到的关于在智利的一些华人华侨的消息是一切都安好，但是信息都比较简短。

May 12th, 2008. That’s the most mournful day for our Chinese that will

never be forgotten, because a horrible earthquake happened in Wenchuan, which

caused tens of thousands of children’s death.

On hearing the news, I felt so sorrowful. “Why was the god so cruel to

them?” I asked. They were still at the entrance of the life. They seemed like

little eagles that were willing to open their wings and hover in the sky. Maybe

they would have their brilliant future. What a great loss to our nation! I had

my deepest sympathy on the people in the disastrous area. So I donated some

money and clothes to them. And I also prayed for the dead people sincerely. I

eagerly hope that there would be no earthquakes in the future, so that we could

live a more peaceful life.

Xian love in all walks of life, their real actions, another interpretation of "a difficult one, P Plus assistance," the traditional Chinese virtues.

家乡遭受强烈地震，在外打工的人心急如焚。他们的第一个念头就是，亲人可安全?家园怎么样?尽快赶回家，参加抢救，重建家园。但灾害使铁路受阻，火车停运，长途车运力不足，一万多名从各地汇聚到西安中转的四川灾区民工在焦急地等待回家!

On May 12, 2008, there was an earthquake happened in Wenchuan, Sichuan

province. More than 69000 people had lost their lives, 374643 people had injured

and 17923 people could not be found in this earthquake. After the earthquake had

happened, people from all the field joined the rescue teams. At that moment,

people only care about one thing, that was to save more people from this

disaster and encourage the injure to be strong. After seven day, the chairman

declared that May 19 is the national day of mourning. Flags were at half-mast

everywhere on the day of mourning for victims of Wenchuan earthquake.

The mourning day is to remember the people who lost their lives in the

earthquake, on one hand, is to remind people do not forget that day, don’t

forget about the past and look into the future; on the other hand, is to

encourage the survivers to stay strong. Life is worth living for.

Although Earthquake had destroyed our home, but we can build a brand-new

one. We can rebuild our hope. Just as Nixon said so, our destiny offers not the

cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity. So let us seize it, not in fear,

but in gladness. Just have a little faith. Just try to remember that everything

will be alright. We will find what we are looking for in the future.

导语：北京时间2016年1月21日01时13分，在青海海北州门源县(北纬37.68度，东经101.62度)发生6.4级地震，震源深度约10公里。中国地震局已启动II级应急响应，派出现场工作队赶赴震区开展应急处置工作。下面是小编为您收集整理的相关资料，希望对您有所帮助。

据悉，西宁、兰州等地网友称有震感。另据新华社报道，门源县的通讯仍然保持畅通。记者从门源县了解到，当地震感强烈，许多市民裹着棉被在街道和户外空旷地带避险。也有部分市民在汽车中取暖躲避。门源近期的气温在零下20度左右。

另据中新网报道，记者21日2时从青海省门源县委宣传部获悉，截至目前，门源县无人员伤亡且已启动应急预案。

据青海省门源县委宣传部副部长马明礼介绍，地震发生时，由于震感强烈，群众纷纷跑到室外，使得人员及时得到撤离，未收到房屋破损及人员伤亡报告。目前当地政府已启动应急预案。各乡镇部门正在摸排，目前没有人员伤亡报告，百姓情绪稳定，社会秩序正常。

记者第一时间电话联系到家住门源县浩门镇明惠家园的刘进春，该住户描述地震发生后晃动剧烈，家里碗橱中的碗碟全被震了出来，目前许多居民已撤出住所，在空旷地带等候。

地震发生后，西宁、祁连、海晏等地区有明显震感。一名西宁住户称，是被床晃醒，旁边衣架上的衣服也在晃，鱼缸里的水几乎冒了出来。

1时18分，门源县又发生3.4级地震，震源深度10千米。

记者在微博、微信朋友圈内看到网友们都在发小视频，当地街道上站满了人，互相拥抱互相安慰着对方，有的发表文字状态，告诉朋友自己的状态，已示放心。

青海省地震局发表称，据初步了解，门源县城震感强烈，祁连县、西宁市区、西海镇等地普通有感，目前没有收到人员伤亡和财产损失报告，其他情况正在了解当中。青海省地震据将密切监视震情，有情况将随时上报。

此次地震震中位于门源县东北约37公里处，离苏吉滩乡约40公里，离西滩乡约32公里，离青石嘴镇约33公里，离北山乡约32公里，离皇城乡约34公里。 中国地震台网中心预报部主任蒋海昆说，此次发震位置位于北西向的冷龙岭断裂和托莱山断裂的交汇处。从这次地震本身来看，是一次逆冲型的破裂。

据央视报道，强震震已致阿富汗63人死亡，已造成巴基斯坦至少220人死亡。

中新网10月27日电 北京时间10月26日17时零9分，阿富汗东北部发生里氏7.5级地震。截至发稿时，据外媒报道，此次地震或已导致巴基斯坦、阿富汗等国共近200人遇难，上千人受伤，遇难者人数料将上升。由于此次地震灾区地处偏远，地震救援工作和伤亡统计将受影响。

7级强震多国有震感 伤亡总人数上千

美国地质勘探局网站消息称，此次地震发生在北京时间26日17时零9分，震中位于阿富汗东北部偏远地区的兴都库什山脉，临近巴基斯坦。此前美国地质勘探局测定地震为7.7级，后将这一数字下调至7.5级，震源深度为212公里。

26日的7.5级地震发生后，震中附近还分别发生一次4.7级和一次4.8级地震。

外媒称，此次强震“撼动亚洲多国”。巴基斯坦、印度、塔吉克斯坦、吉尔吉斯斯坦等南亚和中亚多国均有震感;另据央视报道，此次地震，中国新疆的喀什、阿克苏等地也有强烈震感。

截至发稿时，综合法新社、英国《卫报》、美国福克斯新闻网等外媒报道，巴基斯坦因地震造成的遇难人数从稍早时的130人上升至147人;阿富汗遇难人数为至少33人，也有媒体称该国遇难人数已升至50多人;地震导致的遇难人数总体升至逾180人，或接近200人;共有超过1000人受伤，巴基斯坦境内就有逾600人受伤;预计伤亡人数将不断上升。

阿富汗政府长官阿卜杜拉·阿卜杜拉称，此次在阿富汗发生的地震是“几十年来震感最强”的一次。他同时敦促人们待在户外，以防止余震发生。

巴方此前也发布预警称，未来24时内，受灾地区还可能有较强余震。

房屋摇晃倒塌 民众上街躲避

受地震影响，巴基斯坦和阿富汗大量楼房倒塌和房屋破损。据媒体称，地震发生时巴基斯坦和印度建筑“墙壁摇晃”，惊慌的人们逃出室外躲避。

据报道，阿富汗首都喀布尔的建筑物剧烈摇晃，巴基斯坦西北部和中部的旁遮普省有震感，巴基斯坦当地的电视新闻频道显示人们纷纷逃出办公大楼。印度首都新德里的建筑物摇晃时间超过一分钟，办公室工作人员纷纷奔逃到街上。

地震也导致部分地区电力和通讯中断。BBC在巴基斯坦城市拉合尔的记者说，地震后电话线曾中断。巴基斯坦白沙瓦的一名记者当时正在和家人共进午餐，他表示：“因为没法下楼，因此我们立即爬到屋顶。整栋房子好像就要垮了。女人和孩子都哭了出来。”

在印度首都德里，一些学校和办公室也进行了疏散，德里地铁也一度暂停。

地震发生时，不少民众因房屋倒塌受伤或遇难。阿富汗一所女校的女生试图从摇晃的建筑中往外跑，由此导致的踩踏事件致使12名女生身亡，另有30名女生被送往医院。

仍有人被埋废墟之下 救援陆续展开

据媒体报道，目前仍有人被埋在地震废墟之下。同时，由于灾区地处偏远，恐将对救援和人数统计等工作带来困难。

地震发生后，印度总理莫迪在社交网站上说，他已经命令对任何损失进行紧急评估。他表示，如果需要，印度随时做好对阿富汗和巴基斯坦的援助准备。伊朗通讯社称，该国已经准备向阿富汗和巴基斯坦派遣救援队伍。

阿富汗政府长官阿卜杜拉·阿卜杜拉称，阿政府工作人员紧急会面，讨论地震救援工作。

英国一位地震专家则表示，该地震的杀伤力“非常大”，幸亏它的震源离地表有200多公里。

据报道，该地区也有强震的历史，这是由于印度北部的板块与中亚板块冲撞的结果。

2005年，巴控克什米尔地区发生7.6级地震，造成7.5万人死亡。今年4月，尼泊尔强震也造成近9000人死亡，90万处房屋被毁。

In fact, we have always cry from the earthquake that moment, we have always cry from the first to see the bodies of dead children the moment; In fact, we all cry together, to see tens of thousands of PLA personal danger and rushed to the disaster areas moment, but we have not cry, because there are too many disaster areas we need to rescue our compatriots, we need to help, we simply did not have time to cry, so we QianGREnleishui, comfort each other, we Another road, toward the disaster areas, where there is a need our help the brothers and sisters, we have to strong, we loudly told myself, now, we can not cry.

5月12日14时28分，在我国四川省汶川县发生了8级大地震。当我看到电视上报道这个消息的时候，我心头一紧，一股酸劲涌进我的鼻子里。这是，无数悲惨的景象在我脑中浮现。

我不想听到遭到地震后的袭击，无情，冷酷的大地震夺走许多人的生命。

我遐想着：假如我是天使，我一定会让他们重新获得生命。如果我是不快不慢的时间，我一定会让时间倒流，在灾难来临之前，叫大家离开灾难之地。又比如我是突如其来的地震;当我看见幸福，快乐的阳光家庭，我决不忍心向他们伸出夺命的双手。

我多么喜欢大地呀!可他却夺走了那么多宝贵的生命。地震是一个自然灾害，我们应该采取行动防御。

我们一定要拯救生命，造福于人类。

四川的朋友,让爱与我们手牵手一起走.

温总理，抗震救灾的一线总指挥，一位年届六十多岁的老人，在余震不断的救灾现场，以忘我的精神在瓦砾成堆的废墟上奔波，甚至急得亲自动手救人。摔倒了、爬起来，手臂受伤出血也不让医生包扎，而是让医生去抢救受伤灾民。此情此景，怎能不让我们为之感动。倘若是我们自己的父母，哪一个儿女不为之揪心?!

从灾情发生的那一天起，温总理便在第一时间抵达灾区，在临时搭起的帐篷中指挥抗震、救灾、救人。在被掩埋的小学废墟旁，总理用嘶哑、哽咽的话语，向废墟中的孩子喊话。一位在现场的记者通过QQ发出即时报道称：“年过花甲的总理已经哭得不成样子了。”其实，不是温总理不坚强，而是心系人民的总理为眼前的灾难而心痛，这是热爱人民的好总理此时此刻的真情流露。

哪里灾民最多，哪里险情最严重，温总理就指挥到哪里。我们看到在抗震救灾最严峻的时刻，各路救援队伍，克服千难万险，以最快的速度奔赴灾区，震区已有6万多人被救出。我们感受到了抗震救灾的勇气所在、力量所在、希望所在。全国人民不会被这一重大灾情所吓倒，更不会被眼前出现的悲情所摧垮。我们坚信，有党和政府的坚强领导，有全国各族人们的努力援助，抗震救灾一定会取得胜利!

要了解地震发生的原因，首先必须了解地球的内部构造。我们居住的地球是一个很大的实心椭球体，它的半径长约6370公里，从赤道到地心的平均距离为6738.14公里，两极到地心的平均距离为6356.76公里。地球内部的情况很复杂，根据其物质状况大致可划分为三层：最外面的一层叫地壳，中间一层叫地幔(或叫中间层)，最里面的核心部分叫地核。假如把地球比做一个鸡蛋的话，地壳相当于蛋壳，地幔相当于蛋白，地核相当于蛋黄。

地壳主要由一层一层的岩层构成，平均厚度约33公里。地壳大体上又可以分为两层，下层主要为玄武岩，一般厚约10公里，是一个布满全球的圈层。上层主要为花岗岩，这是构成大陆的主体。

地幔介于地壳和地核之间，厚度约为2900公里。它的上部也是一些岩石，主要是超基性岩(如橄榄岩)和榴辉岩。岩层之下的地幔物质，温度很高，具有塑性，在力的长期作用下，以一种半粘性流动的形式，缓慢的改变形状。

地核在地幔之下，半径约为3470公里，其外部表现出液体的性质，在内部可能存在一个半径为1000公里的固体内核。

科学分析表明，大多数地震都发生在地壳和地幔上部边缘的岩层里，其中以离地面20～30公里的地方发生的地震最为常见。

地壳和地幔的岩石层里为什么会发生地震呢？这是由于那里的岩石在力(地应力)的作用下发生了破裂，这个破裂处就是震源，地震活动便从这里开始。

我们可用两手弯曲一根木棒，当力大到一定程度时，木棒的弯曲处便会破裂，在其断裂的一刹那，两只手会感到振动。木棒的破裂处就是震源，感觉到的振动便是地震。

钢硬的岩石为什么会像受力的木棒一样破裂呢？首先，因为它是钢硬的，所以才会破裂，其次是有力作用在它身上才能使它破裂。在地下，存在着各种形式的力的作用，而且这些力会在某些地方积累增强，当增大到岩石承受不了时，就会发生破裂。这其中起主要作用的是地壳运动。在地壳运动的过程中，地壳的不同部位受到挤压、拉伸、旋扭等力的作用，在构造比较脆弱的地方，就会引起断裂变动，这种变动是地震发生的主因。地球上90%以上的地震都是由于地壳的断裂变动造成的。此外，火山爆发、陨石坠落、水库蓄水、人工爆破等也可造成地震，但其数量少、规模小。我们要预报预防的主要是前者。

1、依据本文的介绍，请说说地震发生的主要原因（用原文回答）。（2分）

2、作者在写了地震发生的主要原因后，为什么又写了“火山爆发、陨石坠落、水库蓄水、人工爆破等也可造成地震，但其数量少、规模小”这样一段话？（3分）

3、文中划线的句子运用了什么说明方法，并分析其作用。（3分）

4、体会下列句子中加点词语的表达作用。（2分）

在内部可能存在一个半径为1000公里的固体内核。

1、在地壳运动的过程中，地壳的不同部位受到挤压、拉伸、旋扭等力的作用，在构造比较脆弱的地方，就会引起断裂变动。

2、一方面补充说明地震发生的其它原因，使说明更加全面，使文章更加严谨；另一方面也强调了我们要预报预防的主要是由地壳运动引起的地震。

3、运用了打比方的说明方法。这句话把震源比作木棒的破裂处，把地震比作我们折断木棒时感觉到的振动，用日常生活中人们熟悉的事例来说明科学道理，形象生动，显得通俗易懂。

4、“可能”表明是一种推测，与目前的科学认识状况相符合，体现了说明文语言的准确性。

时间一点一点的消逝，每一分钟，都有着不少灾区人民因抢救官兵与医生的资源不够，而面临着死亡的危险。在网上，最新的消息和图片以及视频不断传来，而其中一则视频，更让我难以忘怀：视频的第一画面，是一座已经坍塌的楼房，这个地方曾经是一座美丽的校园。在坍塌的瓦砾堆中，一张稚嫩的小脸出现在眼前。那是一个一二年级左右的小女孩。经过了一天的掩埋，小女孩的脸由于过度饥饿和缺氧，原本红润的小脸已经变成了黑黄黑黄了。在她的脸上，依稀可以看见哭过的泪痕，还有那淡淡的绝望。小女孩的嘴巴还在一张一合，可是在视频中却听不到她的声音，想来小女孩在被废墟掩埋时曾经哭喊、求救，嗓子已经变哑了。看到这个小女孩，我心中很是感慨。四川的大地震，导致数以万计的人民围困在废墟中。他们和这位小女孩一样，在瓦砾堆之中无法自救，如果官兵不及时抢救他们，这些人民的生命将岌岌可危，受到死神的压迫。这时，只听一阵大喊：“这里有人!”一群官兵奔跑而来，激动地实施抢救工作。小女孩的脸上顿时充满了喜悦，大声叫着：“快来救我!”一位官兵低下头，对小女孩说道：“小妹妹，我们正在救你。你不要讲话，好好待着，耐心等我们!”小女孩听话地不讲话了，眼巴巴地看着官兵们。由于小女孩在废墟的里层，如果动用一些抢救的机器，可能会使废墟再度坍塌，危机小女孩的生命。不能动用机器，官兵们就围成一个圈，趴下来用手来刨着瓦砾。此时已是凌晨一点，这些官兵们已抢救了多个坍塌地点，早已累的不行了。可是，只要自己松懈一秒，那么困在废墟下的人民就有可能面临死亡的危险!为了受灾人民，自己苦点、累点，根本不算什么。官兵们就是秉着“早进一秒就可能多救一人”的信念，不间断地抢救着受灾人民。这时，小女孩周围的瓦砾终于被官兵们清理完了，小女孩成功地被解救了出来。

四川7.8级地震惊动了世界，灾区人民的命运也牵动着13亿中国人的心。四川汶川地震发生后，中国地震局已启动一级预案。由中国地震局12人、某部工兵团150人和武警总医院22人组成的国家地震灾害紧急救援队陆续奔赴汶川灾区，负责搜索、营救和医疗救护任务。中国空军今天派出二十二架军用运输机，向四川地震灾区空运六千多名空降兵和四台指挥车，执行绵竹、安县、北川地区的抗震救灾任务。民政部也紧急调拨25000顶救灾帐篷支援四川灾区，其他救灾物资正在调集运输中。而社会各界人士、中国多家企业公司、中国红十字会，也在援助四川。

面对灾难，团结就是力量。当13亿中国人肩并肩，手挽手，心连心的时候，任何困难都是暂时的，任何灾难都是可以战胜的!

In the past hundred years, there have heen frequent natural disasters, such

as floods, droughts, mud-rock flows, seismic sea waves, earthquakes, windstorms

and the stretching of new deserts. The disasters have killed millions upon

millions of people, destroyed countless homes, and wiped out numerous pieces of

fertile land.

Now more and more people become aware that those disasters have much to do

with what we have done to the earth. We have cut down too many trees in the

forests,we have badly polluted the environment, we have shocked our own

home-planet time and against with tremendously powerful explosions of nuclear

bombs. As a result, climates have become abnormal, rainwater rushes down

hillsides angrily, and the underground energy goes up to revenge itself on

us.

The earth is our only home-planet. It is urgent for us to stop damaging it,

and to do our best to protect it and make it a lovely place suitable to live in,

for we have nowhere to go and survive except where we are now.

下面是小编为大家整理的关于印尼发生了7.9级地震的相关消息，供大家阅读。

印尼苏门答腊岛西部海域发生里氏7.9级地震，已有人因地震遇难，印尼部分城市震感强烈。地震发生时，人们从房子里跑出逃往高处，交通陷入停顿。

这场地震发生在当地时间2日傍晚6时50分，震中位于巴东(Padang)西南部约808公里处，震源深度10公里。

在西苏门答腊巴东市的法新社记者说，他感受到几秒钟的强烈震感。地震发生后，人们都从自己的房子内跑出来，往较高的地方逃。此外，当地的公路交通还陷入停顿。

印尼官员称，地震已经导致人员伤亡。不过因目前印尼已经入夜，将会对救援行动造成阻碍。

地震发生后，印尼气象、气候与地球物理局在苏门答腊部分地区发布海啸警告，包括西苏门答腊、北苏门答腊和亚齐。澳大利亚联合海啸预警中心也对西澳洲部分地区发出海啸警戒。

目前印尼已经解除了海啸预警。

美国地质调查所(USGS)则表示，地震“造成伤亡或破坏的可能性不高”。

印尼国家气象局一名官员称，在位于苏门答腊岛西南沿岸的朋古鲁，人们没有感觉到地震。

据报道，地震发生时，印尼总统佐科在苏门答腊岛北部棉兰的一家酒店过夜，其本人安全无恙。一名棉兰居民称，没有感觉到地震发生。

印尼地处环太平洋地震带，每年发生大小地震数千次。2004年12月，印尼苏门答腊岛附近海域发生强烈地震并引发印度洋海啸，造成重大人员伤亡。

地球表层的岩石圈称作地壳。地壳岩层受力后快速破裂错动引起地表振动或破坏就叫地震。由于地质构造活动引发的地震叫构造地震;由于火山活动造成的地震叫火山地震;固岩层(特别是石灰岩)塌陷引起的地震叫塌陷地震。地震是一种及其普通和常见的一种自然现象，但由于地壳构造的复杂性和震源区的不可直观性，关于地震特别构造地震它是怎样孕育和发生的，其成因和机制是什么的问题至今尚无完满的解答，但目前科学家比较公认的解释是构造地震是由地壳板块运动造成的。

由于地球在无休止地自转和公转，其内部物质也在不停地进行分异，所以，围绕在地球表面的地壳，或者说岩石圈也在不断地生成、演变和运动，这便促成了全球性地壳构造运动。关于地壳构造和海陆变迁，科学家们经历了漫长的观察、描述和分析，先后形成了不同的假说、构想和学说。板块构造学说又称新全球构造学说，则是形成较晚(上世纪60年代)，已为广大地学工作者所接受的一个关于地壳构造运动的学说。
