Personal Response 5:Earthquakes

Hi Everyone,

1.The earliest reported earthquake in California was felt in 1769 by the exploring expedition of Gaspar de Portola while the group was camping about 48 kilometers (30 miles) southeast of Los Angeles.

2.Before electronics allowed recordings of large earthquakes, scientists built large spring-pendulum seismometers in an attempt to record the long-period motion produced by such quakes. The largest one weighed about 15 tons. There is a medium-sized one three stories high in Mexico City that is still in operation.

3.The average rate of motion across the San Andreas Fault Zone during the past 3 million years is 56 mm/yr (2 in/yr). This is about the same rate at which your fingernails grow. Assuming this rate continues, scientists project that Los Angeles and San Francisco will be adjacent to one another in approximately 15 million years.

4.The East African Rift System is a 50-60 km (31-37 miles) wide zone of active volcanics and faulting that extends north-south in eastern Africa for more than 3000 km (1864 miles) from Ethiopia in the north to Zambezi in the south. It is a rare example of an active continental rift zone, where a continental plate is attempting to split into two plates which are moving away from one another.

Hi everyone,
For week 8, the personal response topic is on the need for school children to wear safety belt when travelling in school buses.
First, you have to read the article in this link:http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/story/0,4136,163170,00.html
After you have read the article, you are required to respond to the message.
To help you write your personal response, I have listed some questions below :

1. Do you take the school bus to school?

2. How do the children behave in the school bus?

3. Do you agree with Ms Karen Koh that safety belt should be install in school buses?
Why?

4. Do you agree with Mr Leow Beng Kiong's view that installing seat belts are not only costly but also unnecessary as the children are on the bus for only about 15 minutes? Why?

5. What can children, bus attendants and school do to make sure that children are safe when travelling in school bus?

~~~

MY RESPONCE

1.i never take the school bus to school

2. i am not so sure how the children in our schools school buses behaves ,but all I know is that the children in other school buses are far to wild!!!

3. I agree with Mrs.Karen Koh that safety beits should be installed,because if there were any seat belts before the eight-year-old boy was recently killed in the mini-bus accident with two cars the boy would not have died and just suffered some major cuts and injuries.

4. i do not agree with Mr Leow Beng Kiong's view that installing seat belts are not only costly but also unnecessary as the children are on the bus for only about 15 minutes,because our lives are more important than money and because during the journey to school an accident can occur at any time.

5. they could make sure if anybody wears his or hers seat belt but that is if the bus has seat belt otherwise they should chech if anybody is standing when the bus is moving.
