Blown Away!!

Hi there earthquake explorers,
I have been exploring your blog and have to say you are all amazing scientists. I really liked learning about earthquakes and you all showed your understandings and knowledge so clearly. I can see you enjoyed your investigations and I really appreciated the way you shared your information with your classmates and Mr Dredge so frequently.
I must also say I am very impressed with your technology skills. The PowerPoint and video presentations are amazing. Your skills are very good and I am sure Mr Dredge will be patting you on the back for the way you have demonstrated your learning.

Good on you all for your hard work throughout the term.

Enjoy your break and I'll see you next term.

Hi Mr Dredge and Every one,
Here is an interesting fact about the Haiti Earthquake.
That between 217,000 and 230,000 people have died. That's very sad.
And more than 1,000,000 were left homeless.

Hi everyone
Yesterday at about 7:00 there was an earthquake in Port Phillip Bay . It was 3.2 on the Richter scale . Here is what one person said:
"I heard the roof of my house ... I thought there was either thunder or 15 possums up there," she said.

"I literally saw my feet move on my floor and I thought, 'gee that's definitely not possums, that's an earthquake'."

This is quite interesting point that this man put forward
"In Melbourne, quite rare. In Victoria as a whole we'd get an earthquake of this size about every six weeks," he said.

Hi Everyone,
Here is some info about haiti and the earthquake there..
Between 10 and 15 kilometres below the surface the Caribbean plate and the North American plate transform or slid past each other. The energy released after the collision caused the Haiti earthquake. The earthquake happened in Haiti which is in the Caribbean Sea between North America and South America.
It is an island that has an area of about 27 750 square kilometres.
The epicentre of the earthquake was about 25 kilometres South West of the capital city Port-Au-Prince.

Disastrous-the ground is badly cracked and many buildings are severely damaged or destroyed. Some landslide may happen.
The earthquake costs 8 billion dollars of damage.
250 000 homes and business buildings destroyed or severely damaged.

On Dec. 26, 2004, a massive underwater earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale rattled the Earth off the coast of Indonesia's Sumatra Island. This devastating earthquake caused a tsunami. The death toll reached higher than 220,000, and many communities suffered disastrous damage to their homes/buildings. How amazing does this look!!
