Haitian Earthquake

Three days ago, a tragic accident occurred in Haiti. They were hit with a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. An earthquake is a shaking of the ground caused by the sudden breaking movement of tectonic plates of the earth's crust. The edges of the tectonic plates are marked by faults. Most earthquakes occur along the fault lines when the plates slide past each other or collide against each other. The Haitian government estimates that over 50,000 people had died from this devastating disaster but there is no official count. Despite the natural disaster that had just occurred, women were found singing and chanting while marching down a street. At the capital in Haiti, many people are with food water and electricity. I think that this is a terrible event to occur, especially in such a poor country. Buildings were destroyed due to the plates movement meaning there will have to be a lot of rebuilding. Haiti is going to have to receive a lot of help to rebuild their cities and towns because they don't have the money for it themselves. It was a tragic event that no one should have to experience.
