Hey everyone! Did you hear about the big earthquake that happened recently? On March 28, a strong earthquake hit Myanmar, which is a country in Southeast Asia. The earthquake was so powerful—it was a magnitude 7.7! That’s really big!
Because of the earthquake, buildings shook in Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand, which is right next to Myanmar. In fact, a building that was being built in Bangkok collapsed, and sadly, some people were hurt.
Right now, rescue teams are working hard to help anyone who might be trapped or injured. In Myanmar, the government has declared a state of emergency in six areas. That means they are focusing all their efforts on helping people and fixing things.
Earthquakes happen when the Earth’s plates move suddenly. This can cause the ground to shake and buildings to move or even fall down. It’s important for people in earthquake areas to know how to stay safe.
Let’s keep the people of Myanmar and Thailand in our thoughts. If you want to learn more about earthquakes and how to stay safe during one, you can ask your teachers or parents.
Stay safe and take care! 🌟
