Hey everyone! Did you hear about the big earthquake in Ethiopia? 🌍 On Saturday, a strong earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale shook parts of Ethiopia. That’s pretty powerful!
The earthquake happened deep underground, about 10 kilometers down. Imagine digging a hole that deep! 🕳️ Scientists from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported the quake.
Earthquakes occur when the Earth’s huge plates, called tectonic plates, move and bump into each other. This movement can cause the ground to shake. It’s like when you bump into someone in the hallway, but on a much bigger scale!
We hope everyone in Ethiopia is safe. Remember, if you ever feel the ground shaking, it’s important to stay calm and find a safe place. Stay safe, friends! 😊
