Guess what shook things up in China today? 🤔 An earthquake!
A 4.2-magnitude earthquake hit Yongqing County in Hebei Province, northern China. That’s like a big rumble under the ground! It happened 20 kilometers deep in the earth.
The cool (or maybe not-so-cool) thing is that people in Beijing, the capital city of China, felt the tremors too! Imagine sitting in your classroom and feeling your desk shake a little!
Don’t worry, though. So far, there haven’t been any reports of damage or injuries. The China Earthquake Networks Center is keeping an eye on things to make sure everyone stays safe.
Earthquakes happen when the Earth’s plates move and release energy. It’s like when you snap your fingers, but a lot bigger and louder! 🌎
Have you ever felt an earthquake? It’s important to know what to do—like finding a safe spot under a sturdy table. Safety first!
