A 7.3R earthquake happened in Indonesia on Sep\2\09. A weird thing happened that day at lunch. A snake that was about 1 meter long came out of the ground. Animals have a keen sense of when natural disasters are about to hit so they retreat before it hits. Then when the day ended some kids felt the earthquake and one kid (named Zoe) nearly fell down. According to Koran Tempo on 5\6\09, the ear
thquake had killed 67 people, injured 444 people with 37 people still missing. 27,770 people had to evacuate their own homes because of the Earthquake. 31,779 houses were heavily damaged, 15 were moderately damaged and 55,918 were mildly damaged. 836 schools were damaged along with 1,623 places of worship and 193 offices. This happened because Indonesia is on the ring of fire or the place most Earthquakes happen. The 67 deaths are mostly our fault because we made unstable buildings on the ring of fire. The source of the info from the paper was originally from Center of Control & Operation, National Agency for Disaster Relief. Info collected on 5\6,09.
There is one incident when a land slide happened because of the earth quake. It destroyed some homes and buried some poor farmers in a village up in the mountains. Land slides happen when an earth quake loosens the bond between the top layer of a mountain and the bottom layer causing the top layer to slide down the mountain.

Nathan, this post is much, much better in its addressing the social studies standards. You dealt with nature like the ring of fire, then talked about people in the environment and how injuries resulted from our own building and living in dangerous places.
