Personal Response 5 : Earthquakes

The causes of Earthquakes are two tectonic plates of the world crashing into each other.
If an earthquake were to happen in your house or in the area that you are living in,you should get to flat open ground,never stand below the ground as the earthquake is strongest there.
I think scientists can detect an earthquake by looking at the ground,if it is moving then there is a possibility of an earthquake.Earthquakes have occured in many countries such as,China Malaysia and many more.Someday,the earthquake will reach Singapore but i am, sure we will be prepared for it.These countries have Earthquakes because they are not near the safe zone.I think there will not be an earthquake in Singapore because we are near the Equator,but in the near future,ithe earthquake might strike Singapore,after all,the world is always changing............
