THE SEA SERPENT ATTACKS!

He loved the sand between his toes; he wished he could stay there all day. However, he had to get out to sea and catch some fish for his village, or they would starve. So he grabbed his net, jumped into his boat and set of. That day the crystal water was so clear you could see the bottom of the ocean.
When he got out to sea, he threw his net out into the water and pulled with all his might and tonnes of fish came pilling in and he knew that his father (the greatest fisherman in the whole village) would be proud of him.
Then something big caught his eye. It had long spinderly legs, massive claws dripping with green goo. It was a giant CRAB.

Why are earthquakes so destructive?

Earthquakes are one of the most destructive forces on earth. These are some of the countries that are most likely to be hit.

West Coast USA

Japan

New Zealand

The earths crust is divided into enormous slabs of rock called tectonic plates. It is because of these that the continents have their shape. When the tectonic plates collide it causes an earthquake. Scientists have created a type of instrument that can actually record an earthquake. This is called a seismometer.

Earthquakes usually last up to a minute. However, some of the most destructive have lasted up to four minutes long. An earthquakes destructive process can destroy whole buildings, cars, bridges, houses and even take lives.
