The earthquake in Haiti



Haiti had a huge earthquake today.  It recorded M7.0.

This is again a surprising news.  Some decades ago, the earthquakes were not so frequent. I still remember when I was surprised to read the news of an earthquake in Turkey because I thought earthquakes didn’t happen so often in the world. Our teacher at schools often taught us that Japan was a very frequent earthquake country in the world like no others.

But recently earthquakes are too many, also all of them are really huge.  China had it before the Olympic games, and Indonesia often has it recently, and the places of earthquakes are not only in special countries but also they happen in any countries that used to have few earthquakes in the past.

I don’t remember Haiti had earthquakes so often.  I hope this would not be the trigger of the next earthquake in this place of the world.

In Japan, there still are very big earthquakes. When we hear the news of them, we feel sorry for the people there because we know how it’s sad.
