O QUE SIGNIFICA EARTHQUAKE EM INGLÊS
Tremor de terra
Um terremoto é o resultado de uma súbita liberação de energia na crosta terrestre que cria ondas sísmicas. A sismicidade, o sismismo ou a atividade sísmica de uma área refere-se à freqüência, ao tipo e ao tamanho dos terremotos experimentados ao longo de um período de tempo. Os terremotos são medidos usando observações de sismômetros. A magnitude do momento é a escala mais comum em que terremotos maiores que aproximadamente 5 são relatados para todo o globo. Os terremotos mais numerosos, menores do que a magnitude 5 relatados pelos observatórios sismológicos nacionais, são medidos principalmente na escala de magnitude local, também referida como a escala de Richter. Essas duas escalas são numericamente semelhantes em relação à sua validade. Os terremotos de magnitude 3 ou inferior são na sua maioria quase imperceptíveis ou fracos e a magnitude 7 e superior potencialmente causa sérios danos em áreas maiores, dependendo da sua profundidade. Os maiores terremotos nos tempos históricos foram de magnitude um pouco acima de 9, embora não haja limite para a magnitude possível. O maior terremoto de magnitude 9,0 ou maior foi um 9.

10 CITAÇÕES EM INGLÊS COM «EARTHQUAKE»
Citações e frases célebres com a palavra
earthquake.
We still carry this old caveman-imprint idea that we're small, nature's big, and it's everything we can manage to hang on and survive. When big geophysical events happen - a huge earthquake, tsunami, or volcanic eruption - we're reminded of that.
Nothing but an imperious intellectual and moral necessity can drive into doubt a religious mind, for it is as though an earthquake shook the foundations of the soul, and the very being quivers and sways under the shock.
Those who survived the San Francisco earthquake said, 'Thank God, I'm still alive.' But, of course, those who died, their lives will never be the same again.
We don't suggest that because San Francisco lies on top of an earthquake fault that it should be moved.
Governments of rich countries spend some $6bn of tax money a year on disaster relief and development aid overseas, while each new earthquake, famine or tidal wave can attract 1,000 aid organisations, from the United Nations Children's Fund and Oxfam to the 'Jesus Brigades' of the American south and other charitable adventurers.
There is no such thing as a life of passion any more than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state?
Americans rightly asked, if this is the way our government responds to a natural disaster it knew about days in advance, how would it respond to a surprise terrorist attack? How would it respond to an earthquake?
I am grateful to President George W. Bush for PEPFAR, which is saving the lives of millions of people in poor countries and to both Presidents Bush for the work we've done together after the South Asia tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and the Haitian earthquake.
When the Haiti earthquake happened, I registered with UNICEF to set up an account, and posted to Twitter for people to donate to it. In a matter of a couple of hours, $30,000 had been donated. That, to me, was eye-opening.
In an earthquake, I shouldn't run out of the house - I should run into it.
