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.

the book we just finished reading was Cool Salsa and it was a good book. I didnt enjoy it as much as the other books we've read in the past it was based on how hispanics live in the U.S.A and have to deal with every day life as a mexican and be judged and carry on day by day with them selves and their living essentials.

i think that mammals should not be held in captivity simply because they belong in the ocean or jungle where ever they came from they belong there. They are not made or created to entertain the humans in this world, for example Shamu is not made to entertain people at Sea World that is a Killer Whale which means he's made to kill. Also another example is the tigers that killed the barnum and bailey brother it wasn't the tigers fault its the mans fault because hes a wild animal and belongs in the wild like other free animals.

Tears of a Tiger,

I liked the book alot. Even though it was sad i liked the theme of it, it was very intense and it came to real life she gave a great picture of how teenager or people in gerneral should not drink and drive. Just be more responsible and don't get in the car with a person who has ben drinking alcohol.
