**__Earthquakes__** // All around the world there are hundreds of earthquakes caused by tectonic plates from the earths crust. // // When the tectonic plates rub and collide together they cause an earthquake. Sometimes it could be a minor earthquake or it might be a major earthquake. Earthquakes can be very dangerous. // // If there is a major earthquake there may be some deaths. People can die if they are in a building and it collapses. Some people may live but they would probably be hurt, unless they got out in time. //

// Architects try to build buildings that are a slender pyramid shape because it is such a sturdy shape. Every year there is about forty thousand to fifty thousand earthquakes that you can feel. But only forty to fifty earthquakes are big enough to do any damage. // // So if there is an earthquake get down and cover your head or go under a door way because that is the safest place to be. //
