Morning Starters: Spring 1 - Violent Earth

Thursday

Did You Know?

Earthquakes happen when Earth’s tectonic plates suddenly shift, releasing energy that shakes the ground. The deadliest earthquake in history struck Shaanxi, China, in January 1556, killing nearly one million people. Many lived in hillside caves that collapsed under the quake’s force, causing widespread tragedy. Alarmingly, around 40 million people in China still occupy caves today, making them vulnerable to future quakes and their devastating impact.
