(3) Haiti Quake Tragedy Port-au-Prince, Haiti: 12 January, 2010: Time: 16:53 At 16:53, the poorest nation in the western hemisphere was shaken by a massive earthquake measuring 7,0 on the Richter Scale. It was the worst quake to hit Haiti in over 200 years. The epicentre of the quake was 25km southwest of the capital, Port-au-Prince (population: 2 million). Apart from the strength of the quake, it was also very close to the surface, making its effects worse. The quake struck as many workers and students were leaving the crowded capital city at the end of the day. More than houses and offices and shops collapsed, crushing people inside and on the streets. Wellbuilt buildings as well as poorly made homes collapsed. The National Palace,
6 cathedral, government offices, hotels, hospitals, schools and the prison were all destroyed. It is difficult to know the exact death toll, but it is officially over Thousands of people have been buried in mass graves. One resident cried: buildings were falling down thousands of people were in the streets, crying, carrying bloodied bodies, looking for someone to help them Haiti s First Lady, Elisabeth Préval said, I m stepping over dead bodies the general hospital has collapsed. We need support. We need help. Hours after the quake and several aftershocks, people could hear buildings still crumbling down. What caused this devastating quake? Close to Port-au-Prince, under Earth s surface, the Caribbean plate pushed against the neighbouring North American plate along a fault line. This triggered off a massive earthquake. Geologists estimate that there have been about 12 massive quakes in the Caribbean region in the last 500 years due to plate movement. The days after the quake were made worse as Haiti does not have a public sewage system and many children are not vaccinated against diseases. The drinking water system was also destroyed. Survivors were crammed into refugee camps without sanitation. Cholera affected many survivors, sadly killing many. The International community, including the Red Cross, came to Haiti s aid offering medical teams and supplies, food, water, rescue experts and earth-moving machinery. The residents of Port-au-Prince, along with the world s help, need to start rebuilding. From: Earle,J Social Sciences Today Grade 7 6 QUESTION F PARAGRAPH [5] Injury and loss of lives are examples of the effects of an earthquake. Write a paragraph, explaining what the other effects of earthquakes are. Ensure you include at least 5 facts PLEASE CHECK YOUR WORK! HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY!

(any 3) (3) 4. The epicentre was close to the capital city/ The strength of the quake (7.0)/ The earthquake struck as people were leaving the city at the end of the day, so it affected more people/ There was no public sewerage system and children are not vaccinated against diseases/ Haiti is a poor country, and not equipped to cope with such a disaster. Very close to the surface / high buildings, narrow roads / weak buildings (any 3) (3) 5.

11 11 QUESTION F PARAGRAPH [5] Disease: Clean water supplies can be destroyed and dirt and sewerage can lie around. These problems can lead to diseases like cholera, which can lead to more deaths. Displacement of people: People have nowhere to live as their homes are destroyed. These displaced people look for shelter in tent camps and sometimes have nowhere to sleep. Buildings destroyed Damage to infrastructure: Roads, railway lines, pipelines and services such as electricity, water, gas, sewerage and telephone lines are damaged and destroyed. Flooding is caused by broken dams and burst water pipes. Fires: Broken electrical wires and gas and fuel tank leaks can cause fires. Tsunamis: Tsunamis can kill many people and can cause major damage to settlements and the environment. Economic: Earthquakes damage a country economy. A country s trade with other countries can be affected too. Medical: Earthquakes put pressure on hospitals and medical and rescue services. Usually other countries help a place affected by an earthquake. Organizations like the Red Cross and United Nations help with medical services, food, shelter and rescue workers.
