Destructive Earth Quakes.




hi my name is ericka im going to tell you a little bit about earthquakes.

There was an earthquake in Peru between Nazca and South American plate, The June 23 shock originated just southeast of the source of a magnitude 7.7 earthquake that occurred in 1996, and it appears to have involved rupture of part of the plate boundary segment that produced an earthquake of magnitude approximately 9.0 in 1868. The 1868 earthquake was destructive in towns that were heavily damaged in the June 23 earthquake. The 1868 earthquake produced a tsunami that killed thousands of people along the South American coast and also caused damage in Hawaii and alarm in Japan.Complex event. The initial onset consists of two events separated by about 6 seconds. It is followed by at least one larger complex event occurring about 40 seconds later.

At least 75 people were killed, including 26 killed by a tsunami. 2,687 were injured, 17,510 homes were destroyed and 35,549 homes damaged in the Arequipa-Camana-Tacna area. An additional 64 people were missing due to the tsunami in the Camana-Chala area.

Analyzing the kite runner.

1.The character i like the most was Baba to me he was a wise man he was polite and kind even though he disliked russians he had a shallow reason to not like them but he was a nice genuine person. To me he protected himself and his son when the war came. The character I disliked the most was Amir he didn't help Hassan and he watched the whole thing happen when poor little hassan got raped; so to me Amir was a coward for that. . . Also even though Amir could not help him because, he was afraid also he still could of did something to help him.

2.The two maine conflicts in the story where when Hassan got raped also when the war began.

3.The characters change for better Amir grew up to be a handsome young man and wanted to get married. Baba became old and bitter especially when it came to Russians.

4.I enjoyed the movie better olny because, it was quicker and he book is sort of a drag but i know why now its a drag because it gives more details and explains everything that was happening when the movie is quick and tells you everything.
