woof!
i'm back again!! cant really get hold of the com coz daddy has been hogging the com.. i think he keep typing some lines and sentences, then they have some numbers beside them...think its what he calls 'marks'... duno what it is used for... he keeps staring the the screen...think he's gone bonkers again..
i got things to sae u know... juz tat i din hv the chance to.. oh yea... i felt the building move.. during tat tremor... 1st time i experienced this...altho niki said they are quite frequent occurences over the past 2 years... i wasnt here yet mah..so i dunno.. i din bark lah.. tot it was pretty fun.. but the fishies' water from the fish tank nearly spilled over... woah woah!! silly them!
but there's somethin i do know..i've been reading up when no one is at home and when niki is sleepin ... people are quite silly u know!? woah woah!!! somehow.. u all tend to worry about whats is going to happen again.. so, now there's an earthquake.. ppl start scampering for higher ground becoz of the fear of a tsunami.. fyi, tsunamis normally happen in the Pacific Ocean ...not Indian Ocean.. the last time a devastating tsunami hit the Asian region was in 1883, when Mt Krakatoa erupted.. triggering off tsunamis killing about 40000 ppl...if i remember corrrectly.. so tat works out to be about a once in a century occurence.. it can still happen...but what i'm saying is ppl shld concentrate on the more imminent dangers of skyscrapers and buildings collapsing and chances of a mega volcanic eruption. its like everytime theres an earthquke...ppl juz keep lookin at the sea...while behind them..all the buildings filled wif ppl may be collapsing.. ppl who study geog will tell u that in places where earthquake happens..there is a high chance that volcanoes may be found.. it is true.. Lake TOba in Sumatra.. if it erupts.. i dunno what will happen to me.. now that the plates below where we are are become more active and 'volatile'... theres always this danger now.. i dun even wanna think about what is going to happen ... i'll certainly miss my walks by the beach... *woahwoah!!!*
"In 1949 the Dutch geologist Rein van Bemmelen reported that Lake Toba was surrounded by a layer of ignimbrite rocks, and was a large volcanic caldera. Later researchers found rhyolite ash similar to that in the ignimbrite around Toba in Malaysia and India, 3000km away. Oceanographers discovered Toba ash on the floor of the eastern Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal. Such a huge eruption probably lasted nearly two weeks. Very few plants or animals in Indonesia would have survived, and it is possible that the eruption caused a planet-wide die-off. There is some evidence, based on mitochondrial DNA, that the human race was reduced to only a few thousand individuals by the Toba eruption. A large area collapsed after the ejection of that amount of subsurface material, forming a caldera, which filled with water creating Lake Toba. Later, the floor of the caldera uplifted to form Samosir, a large island in the lake. Such uplifts are common in very large calderas, apparently due to the upward pressure of unerupted magma. Toba is probably the largest resurgent caldera on Earth. There have been no historic eruptions at Toba, but large earthquakes have occurred, the most recent in 1987 along the southern shore of the lake. On Sumatra as a whole large earthquakes are very common, with several above 7.0 on the Richter scale since 1995, including the 9.0 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake and the 8.7 2005 Sumatran earthquake." wikipedia encylopedia.
well...there's somethin that u and i can CHEW on!! *woahwoah*
