At least one earthquake happens somewhere in the world every day. On some days
there are many more. A few causes great damage and loss of life; some are felt only
as slight shudders of the ground; many more are so small that they cannot be felt at
all. We know about them only because they are shown on a seismograph – a delicate
instrument which records movements of the ground. It has a small needle which
scratches a white line on a strip of black paper, which is going round on a drum. When
everything is quite still the line is straight, but when the ground shakes the line
becomes wiggly. A severe earthquake, even though it is a long way away, makes large
wiggles on the line.
Many earthquakes happen under the sea and they often cause great waves,
called tsunamis. Tsunamis are taller than a house and they race across the sea
one after another at high speed. Ships in their path may be wrecked an, when
the waves reach land, there may be flooding and enormous damage
