This is my explanation work my whole class did an explanation like this.
How earthquakes work
This is the google definition of an earthquake. An earthquake
is the shaking of the surface of the Earth resulting from a
sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that
creates seismic waves. The best move is getting under a
strong table or desk.
If no sturdy object is available, get next to an interior
wall with no windows.
Earthquakes are mostly caused when fault plates suddenly
break along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes
the earthquake. When two fault plates are pushing against
each other, they stick a little out and if they push hard
enough they can make volcanoes.
It is safer upstairs. In major earthquakes, it is usually safer
upstairs than being on ground level. It can be dangerous
trying to run hastily downstairs.
Stay inside your house or the house you are in until the
shaking stops and it is safe to exit. Stay away from
anything that might fall on you. Stay away from anything
that can break or is sharp. If you wake up because of the
earthquake, try to find the doorway and stay in the
doorway till the earthquake ends.
Earthquakes sometimes last about. About, only seconds.
Big or large earthquake typically lasts about 10 to 30
seconds.
Readjustments in the earth cause more earthquakes
that can occur again and stop then start again for a long
amount of time and can go for weeks or months.
The surface where they slip is called the fault or
called fault plates. The location below the earth's surface
where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter, and
the location directly above it on the surface of the earth is
called the epicenter.
What is a red lipped batfish?
Have you ever seen a red lipped batfish or a Galapagos batfish? Have you ever even heard about it? Well regardless of whether or not you have or haven’t, I'm going to be talking about them today. This fish is so strange and flabbergasting, with its unreal body shape, but looks nothing like this (the image in the slideshow)

This is the Red Lipped Batfish!

The scientific name of red lipped batfish was given to it by Charles Darwin, who was best known for his contribution to the science of evolution.

The name it’s best known by was given to the fish for its lips that make it look like it’s wearing bright red lipstick.

The red lipped batfish is a bottom dweller which means it lives on the seafloor. The batfish is a poor swimmer, which is quite ironic given that it's a fish. This is because it has adapted to walk on the ocean floor, using its pectoral fins for support.

The red lipped batfish is part of the anglerfish family. This is because of its lure-like projection that sticks out on the bat fish's head.

It uses this projection to lure in fish, like a fisherman with a fishing rod.

The Red lipped batfish is carnivorous. It’s diet mainly consists of shrimps, small fish, and crabs, as well as other small sea creatures found on the ocean floor.

Finally, I wish to share with you my experience when I first met a red lipped batfish with my family. Here’s a very real photo of my siblings and I hanging out with Bob the red lipped batfish.
Thank you for listening to my speech, does anyone have any questions or comments?
