Earthquake
Rattle rumble,
Shook and shake,
Tremble trouble,
An earthquake!
Beneath the Earth,
Nothing waits,
Strikes and slips,
Tectonic plates...
Pushing grinding,
Will it halt?
What will happen,
To the fault?
Rattle rumble,
Shook and shake,
Tremble trouble,
An earthquake!
Earthquake:A shaking of the Earth's crust. Often caused by movements of tectonic plates or volcanic activity. The energy of an earthquake is measured on the richter scale.
