Earthquake

The earthquake is the tremor or shocks occurring in the earth as a result of a sudden release of
energy that creates a seismic wave. Earthquake is usually caused by the movement of the earth
crust. The frequency is an area based on the type and size of an earthquake which naturally
occurs during a period of time. The quake is measured by means of a seismograph.

The process how earthquake occurs can be seen from the main cause of the earthquake. There
were three kinds of earthquakes and it can be distinguished from the point of view of the
occurrence.

First is volcanic earthquake. Like its name, the volcanic earthquake is an event of an earthquake
which occurs due to a volcanic eruption. This earthquake can occur before and while the
presence of volcanic eruptions and the seismic vibration is very felt by humans and animals
around the located volcano. According to the research, volcanic earthquake occurs just 7% of all
earthquakes that have occurred in the surface of the Earth. The examples of volcanic earthquakes
are earthquake on Mount Merapi in Central Java, earthquake on Mount Una-Una Tomini in
Central Sulawesi, and earthquake on Mount Pericutin.

Second is tectonic earthquake. As we know that the skin of the earth consists of the layers of
rocks. Each layer has the hardness and different density one to another. The layers of the skin of
the earth consists tectonic plates that shift each other as a result of the flow of convection that
occurs in the earth. Day by day, this shift gives rise to the collection of stress energy that at any
time can be released. The shift of plate consists of three types, horizontal shifts that are resulted
horizontal fault, puncture shifts that is one of the infiltrating plate into other plates, thus it creates
the valley or hollows of the earth and a shift in the collision between plates that will create a
mountain or new hill. The release of energy in this shifting the slab is called tectonic earthquake.

Third is falling-out earthquake. As we know that the earth is one of the planets in the solar
system. Every day the earth receives lacing meteor or other sky objects. But, when it receives a
meteor or other big sky objects, the earth will shake. Shaking of the earth surface is caused by
the fall of a sky object that is called fallout earthquake.

From those types of earthquake, fallout earthquake rarely occurs on the earth, so experts often
neglect to include it into the type of earthquake in many reviews. On the contrary, a tectonic
earthquake often occurs and it is the most dangerous. Tectonic earthquake has great vibration and
it is the most devastating. The seismic vibration makes the surface layer of the earth crushed. As
a result, the surface of the ground is split; a highway on the house and bridges and other physical
building are broken and crushed, even it can cause the victims of physical things and human.

Cars should be banned in the city
Cars should be banned in the city. As we all know, cars create pollution, and cause a lot of road
deaths and other accidents.
Firstly, cars, as we all know, contribute to most of the pollution in the world. Cars emit a deadly
gas that causes illnesses such as bronchitis, lung cancer, and ‘triggers’ of asthma. Some of these
illnesses are so bad that people can die from them.
Secondly, the city is very busy. Pedestrians wander everywhere and cars commonly hit
pedestrians in the city, which causes them to die. Cars today are our roads biggest killers.
Thirdly, cars are very noisy. If you live in the city, you may find it hard to sleep at night, or
concentrate on your homework, and especially talk to someone.
In conclusion, cars should be banned from the city for the reasons listed.

Translation
Mobil seharusnya dilarang di kota. Seperti yang kita semua tahu, mobil menciptakan polusi, dan
menyebabkan banyak kematian di jalan dan kecelakaan lainnya.
Pertama, mobil, seperti yang kita semua tahu, berkontribusi terhadap sebagian besar polusi di
dunia. Mobil mengeluarkan gas mematikan yang menyebabkan penyakit seperti bronkitis, kanker
paru-paru, dan ‘pemicu’ asma. Beberapa penyakit ini begitu buruk bahwa orang bisa mati dari
mereka.
Kedua, kota ini sangat sibuk. Pejalan kaki berjalan di mana-mana dan mobil umumnya menabrak
pejalan kaki di kota, yang menyebabkan mereka mati. Mobil saat ini adalah pembunuh jalan
terbesar kami.
Ketiga, mobil sangat bising. Jika Anda tinggal di kota, Anda mungkin merasa sulit untuk tidur di
malam hari, atau sulit berkonsentrasi pada pekerjaan Anda, dan terutama berbicara dengan
seseorang.

Is Smoking Good for Us?

Before we are going to smoke, it is better to look at the fact. About 50 thousands people die
every year in Britain as direct result of smoking. This is seven times as many as die in road
accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers die because of diseases caused by smoking.
Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five cigarettes a day, we are
six times more likely to die of lung cancer than a non smoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a
day, the risk is nineteen greater. Ninety five percent of people who suffer of bronchitis are people
who are smoking. Smokers are two and half times more likely to die of heart disease than non
smokers.
Additionally, children of smoker are more likely to develop bronchitis and pneumonia. In one
hour in smoky room, non smoker breathes as much as substance causing cancer as if he had
smoked fifteen cigarettes.
Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because they do make much money from smoking
habit. Smoking however is not good for every body else.
