EARTHQUAKES

A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood , a big fire, or an earthquake. It
usually causes great suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The causalities are injured or died.
Some people are homeless and need medical care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or stream overflow their banks and pour out
into the surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that
last for a brief time can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the
surrounding land is flat and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is hard
and rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood
adjacent lowland.
In many parts of the world floods are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or
typhoons. They bring destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood
occurs, the destruction to the surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are
sometimes swept away by water pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad tracks and buckles are
uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the
pumps were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they
formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from hand
to hand to be poured on the flames.
The damage of fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small
village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks
and neighborhoods before being controlled.

Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we'll enter the
amazing world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what you're eating.
Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions,
especially in places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit
about the size of a small pine apple. Inside the fruit are the tree's seeds, also known as cocoa
beans.
The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped to the
chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out the flavour.
Different beans from different places have different qualities and flavor, so they are often sorted
and blended to produce a distinctive mix. Next, the roasted beans are winnowed. Winnowing
removes the meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then, the nibs are blended. The blended
nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds
contain some amount of fat, and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat,
which is why the ground nibs form liquid. It's pure bitter chocolate.
