Earthquakes

I checked Wikipedia. An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. People can stay in their homes if there is an earthquake because it may be safer. If there are parts of the ceiling falling , you can hide under a strong table.

Scientists can detect earthquakes by using a device called a seismometer. Earthquakes have usually occurred in the countries inside the earthquake zone. Some of the countries that are in the earthquake are China and Japan. I don't think there will be an earthquake in Singapore because Singapore is not in the earthquake zone. However Singapore will sometimes vibrate because the earthquakes nearby are very strong.
