How Earthquakes Happen Earthquake is one of the most destroying natural

disasters. Unluckily it often happens in several regions.
Recently a horrible earthquake has shaken West Sumatra. It has brought great
damages. Why did it occur? Do you know how an earthquake happens? Earthquakes are usually
caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy
causes the seismic waves. It makes the ground shake.
When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a
little. They don't just slide smoothly. The rocks are still pushing against each other, but not
moving. After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that's built up. When the rocks
break, the earthquake occurs. During the earthquake and afterward, the plates or blocks of rock
start moving, and they continue to move until they get stuck again.
The spot underground where the rock breaks is called the focus of the earthquake.
The place right above the focus is called the epicenter of the earthquake.

How Desert Remains Dry These are three possible reasons why desert remain dry.
These are high mountain barrier, Cold Ocean current and high pressure system. When
warm air passes over the ocean it pick up moisture in the form of water vapor and this moist air
travels over mountain ranges.
When begins to rise, the air cool and this causes the water vapor to condense into
droplets which falls as rain. When the air reaches the other side of the mountain barrier, it has lost
all moisture and so the other side of the mountain remains dry. Cold Ocean Current Air passing
over old ocean current is cooled and therefore is unable to pick up and hold much moisture. When
this cold air mass reaches the warm desert, any moisture in the air is evaporated and so does not
fall as rain and so the desert remains dry.

 Nature VS Nurture

People wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed.
Two distinct schools of thought on the matter have develop. The two approaches are very different
from each other. The controversy is often referred to as nature and nurture.
Those who support the nature side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior
patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little to
do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory.
Proponents of the nurture theory claim that our environment is more important than our
biologically based instinct in determining how we will act. They see humans as beings whose
behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings.
Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior . In fact, it is quite likely that the
key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the controversy will
continue for a long time is certain.
