Causes Of EarthQuakes-_-

A roar comes from underneath. The ground is shaking unbelievably, and it will not stop. That is something like an earthquake right? Crazy to think of what this earth is capable of doing. Yes, the reason I am talking about earthquakes is because of Haiti. That is very sad what happen their. A 7.0 earthquake struck their. That is a larger earthquake. What happen is our surface that we live on is in a slow motion movement, and underneath are plate tectonics which are moving, but when the plate tectonic slips it moves so fast that the slow moving surface is just destroyed by the fast moving plates. It is kind of like running and if you can not keep up then you fall right? It ripples the ground like a (BIG) bomb exploding near the ground. Really the surface keeps breaking away from the plate that is breaking.

I would like to send all my prayers to the Haiti people and just hope they can pull through these hard times.
