the road

Adinda : Oh yes, it's okay. I am good. How about you?

Melinda : I am fine, too. By the way, have you seen the news this morning?

Adinda : No, I didn't get to see it. What is going on?

Melinda : You know, lately there have been natural disasters in Papua.

Adinda : What natural disasters and where more precisely?

Melinda : An earthquake of magnitude 6,3 in the area 39 km northwest of Jayapura City

with a depth of 56 km

Adinda : I'm sorry to hear that. then, are there casualties or damage from this disaster?

Melinda : Luckly, nothing. But the residents are still cautioned about the fear of landslides

Adinda : Thank God! I can't imagine if anything worse could happen

Melinda : Yes, me too.

Adinda : Oh ya, Mel. I will not forget that because an earthquake can also cause the biggest
tsunami in indonesia like what happened in Aceh first

Melinda : Yes, I also did not forget how the earthquake that triggered the tsunami also
happened with an earthquake with a magnitude of 9.3

Adinda : It was a bad dream. Do you know what caused an earthquake?

Melinda : Yes, I know. Most earthquakes are caused by the release of energy produced by
pressure caused by moving plates.
Adinda : You are right. And I've also heard that earthquakes are also caused by the
displacement of the earth's plates which cause earthquakes because in that event
accompanied by the release of large amounts of energy.

Melinda : Not only that, because of the cause they will often even trigger a frightening
tsunami

Adinda : Yes, especially if the impact caused by both of them very detrimental

Melinda : I totally agree. They might lose their homes and valuable assets and you know
what is the worst?

Adinda : Yes, I know very well. The loss of his family or close relatives is the most painful
of all

Melinda : But, have you ever thought what the solution or tips from this incident?

Adinda : In my opinion, if an earthquake occurs we should take cover under a table and be
in a field and stay away from buildings and the sea

Melinda : Agree. In addition, get out of the vehicle when driving and you should keep up to
date with the latest information about the earthquake and be calm

Adinda : But why do we have to be calm? Especially if something like that is happening,
we will definitely panic

Melinda : Because if we panic, we will do rash things that will ultimately hurt ourselves

Adinda : You are absolutely right! btw, i think i should go home now. at my house there is
a family event soon hehe ... Is it okay if I go home first?

Melinda : No problem. Besides, a little more I have an appointment with my cousin

Adinda : Alright, I'll go home first ... See you later

Melinda : Okay, see you soon
