Hey there! 🌟
Did you hear about the earthquake that happened near Java, Indonesia? On Tuesday, a magnitude-5.7 earthquake shook the area south of Java Island. That’s quite a big shake!
Earthquakes happen when the Earth’s plates move suddenly. Imagine snapping your fingers—that sudden movement is like an earthquake underground! This one happened 10 kilometers below the surface.
But here’s some good news: the Indonesian weather agency, BMKG, said there is no tsunami alert. 🌊 So, people near the coast can feel safer.
Did you know that Indonesia experiences many earthquakes because it’s located on the “Ring of Fire”? 🔥 It’s a special area around the Pacific Ocean where lots of earthquakes and volcanoes happen.
Remember, if you live in an area where earthquakes can happen, it’s important to know what to do! Stay safe! 💪
