7/24/2019 When Talking About the Tsunami

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/when-talking-about-the-tsunami 1/16

When talking about the tsunami, then we would have to start from the cause, namely the

earthquake in the ocean. Tsunami always preceded a powerful movement that we commonly

call the earthquake. Although it is known that there are various types of this earthquake, but

90 of the tsunami caused by the movement of the plates in the earth that happened to be

located in areas of the oceans. !t should be also mentioned, the history of tsunamis ever recorded due to the eruption of "rakatoa.

An earthquake in the bowels of the earth will result in the emergence of pressure to the

vertical direction so that the bottom of the sea will rise and fall in a short time span. This will

then lead to an imbalance in the ocean water which is then pushed into a large wave that

moves reached the mainland.

With great power there in the water waves, naturally if the buildings on the mainland can be

washed away easily. The tsunami waves propagate at speeds unimaginable. #e could reach

$00 to %000 kilometers per hour at sea. And when it reaches the shore, the speed is reduced to

$0 to &0 kilometers per hour. Although reduced rapidly, but the pace was able to cause severedamage to humans.

!f we look at the tsunami, of course we understand that there is no human intervention in it.

Thus, we do not have control to prevent these causes. #owever, the preparation and

ma'imum vigilance, we can minimi(e the impact of the tsunami itself. A good e'ample has

been shown in )apan. Although prone to tsunamis, but the awareness of people able to reduce

the number of victims of the disaster.

Terjemahan Dalam Bahasa Indonesia

"ata *Tsunami+ sendiri berasal dari bahasa )epang yang berarti mbak -esar Tsu /

pelabuhan dan ami / gelombang1. Adapan definisi yang disepakati banyak orang adalah

tsunami merupakan bencana alam yang disebabkan oleh naiknya gelombang laut ke daratan

dengan kecepatan yang tinggi akibat adanya gempa yang berpusat di bawah lautan. 2empa

tersebut bisa sa3a diakibatkan oleh tanah yang longsor, lempeng yang bergeser, gunung berapi

yang mengalami erupsi serta meteor yang 3atuh di lautan. Tsunami ini biasanya ter3adi apabila

besarnya gempa melebihi 4 skala richter. Tsunami ini cukup berbahaya, utamanya bagi

mereka yang bermukim di sekitaran pantai. 5engan kekuatan besar, ia akan menyapu apa sa3a

yang dilewatinya.

)ika berbicara mengenai proses terjadinya tsunami, maka kita tentu harus memulai dari penyebabnya, yakni gempa di wilayah lautan. Tsunami selalu diawali suatu pergerakan

dahsyat yang la(im kita sebut gempa. 6eski diketahui bahwa gempa ini ada beragam 3enis,

namun 90 tsunami disebabkan oleh pergerakan lempeng di dalam perut bumi yang letaknya

kebetulan ada di dalam wilayah lautan. Akan tetapi perlu 3uga disebutkan, se3arah pernah

merekam tsunami yang dahsyat akibat meletusnya 2unung "rakatau.

2empa yang ter3adi di dalam perut bumi akan mengakibatkan munculnya tekanan ke arah

vertical sehingga dasar lautan akan naik dan turun dalam rentang waktu yang singkat. #al ini

kemudian akan memicu ketidakseimbangan pada air lautan yang kemudian terdorong

men3adi gelombang besar yang bergerak mencapai wilayah daratan.



5engan tenaga yang besar yang ada pada gelombang air tersebut, wa3ar sa3a 3ika bangunan di

daratan bisa tersapu dengan mudahnya. 2elombang tsunami ini merambat dengan kecepatan

yang tak terbayangkan. !a bisa mencapai $00 sampai %000 kilometer per 3am di lautan. 5ansaat mencapai bibir pantai, kecepatannya berkurang men3adi $0 sampai &0 kilometer per 3am.

6eski berkurang pesat, namun kecepatan tersebut sudah bisa menyebabkan kerusakan yang

parah bagi manusia.

)ika kita mencermati proses terjadinya tsunami, tentu kita paham bahwa tak ada campur

tangan manusia di dalamnya. 5engan demikian, kita tak memiliki kendali untuk mencegah

penyebab tersebut. amun, dengan persiapan dan kewaspadaan yang maksimal, kita bisa

meminimalisir dampak bencana tsunami ini sendiri. 7ontoh yang baik sudah diperlihatkan

)epang. 6eski rawan tsunami, namun kesadaran rakyatnya mampu menekan 3umlah korban

akibat bencana tersebut.



Kinds of Earthquake

8arthquake often happens around us. !t brings great damages. 8arthquake is hard to be

predicted and that makes lot victims.

Actually there are three kinds of earthquake. This kinds of earthquake are commonly base on

the factor and geological area where the earthquakes happen. These three kinds of earthquake

are tectonic, volcanic and e'plosion.

Tectonic earthquakes is most common one. This kind of earthquake happens while earths

crust rocks break because of the geological strength created by moving of the earths plates.

:olcanic earthquakes happen e'actly with volcanic activity. :olcanic earthquakes are when

the volcano produces acidic lava, which drys quickly, when it drys quickly it blocks the top of

the volcano. This make no more magma can escape. ;ressure starts to build up and eventually

the acidic lava can no longer stand the pressure. <o the volcano is free to e'plode, the pressure is released so fast that an earthquake is caused. A volcanic earthquake is usually kept

within %0=>0 miles of the volcano.

8'plosion earthquakes are the result of the collapse earthquakes that are small earthquakes

occurring in underground mines and caverns.

Types of Volcanic Eruptions

:olcanic eruptions have caused some of the worst disasters in the world. They can wipe out

entire cities and kill thousands of people.

The name of volcano comes from ?oman term. !t derives from :@7A which is the name

of ?oman fire god. ?omans believed that :ulcan lived on a volcanic !talian coast. ?omanscalled the island :@7A.

According to scientists, volcanic eruptions are divided in to four basic groups. They are

commonly known as #awaiian, <trombolian, :ulcanian and ;eleean. The term of #awaiian

eruptions are named after the volcanoes in #awaii. These volcanic eruptions are the least

violent type. They produce highly fluid lava which flows quietly. This gradually builds up a

shield volcano.

<trombolian eruptions are named after <tromboli. These result from the constant release of

gas from the magma. As the gas escapes, it produces tephra that piles up, turning into a cinder cone. <trombolian eruptions happen when sticky magma plugs the central vent. This makes

the magmatic gas build up pressure until it blasts. The magma is turned into volcanic dust and

bombs.

:ulcanian eruption which comes from the ancient ?oman belief, are more violent than the

strombolian eruption. :ulcanian eruption happens and brings magma which is more viscous.

:ulcanian e'plosions are usually larger and noisier than the <trombolian eruptions.

;aleean eruptions are famous as the most violent kind of volcanic eruptions. The name of

paleean comes from the eruption of 6ount ;elee, 6artinique in %90>. !t killed almost &B

thousands people. A ;eleean eruption occurs when the magmatic gas build up tremendous

pressure. This causes violent e'plosions with glowing clouds of hot ash and dust.

Tornadoes as Example of Report TextPost On: 7 November 2012 | B: adm!n

What is a tornado?

Tornadoes are known as one of the most damaging disasters. What is the description of

tornadoesC A tornado is a very powerful column of winds which spirals around a center of

low atmospheric pressure. A tornado will look like a large black funnel which hangs down

from a storm cloud.

The name *tornado+ derives from the atin *tonare+. !t means *to thunder.+ While the

<panish developed the word into *tornear+ which means *to turn or twist+. This is why a

tornado is sometimes called twister or cyclone.

The winds inside a twister can spin around at speeds up to $00 miles an hour, but it usually

travels at roughly &00 miles an hour. This speed twisting makes a tornado the most dangerous

storm.

The average tornado has a diameter of about >00 to &00 yards. The smaller tornadoes are

known as satellite tornadoes. These small offspring, about $0 yards across, can be very fierce

and do lots of damage.

The forming of a tornado can be very quick. <ometimes it can form in a minute or less. A

tornado can travel across the ground at high speeds, then it can suddenly vanish. 6ost

tornadoes last less than twenty minutes and travel less than %$ miles. #owever, the super

storms sometimes travel over %00 miles before they are e'hausted.

uman Body Ener!y " E#ample of $eport Te#t

#uman body is actually a living machine and is like all other machines. This living machine

needs fuel to supply it with energy. The fuel is provided by the food which we eat. #owever

do we know how much we need to stay healthyC

The energy value of food is usually measured in calories. A calorie is the amount of heat

which is required to raise the temperature of % kg of water by % degree 7. The number of

calories which people need per day varies. !t depends on the activity which the people are

involved in. Dor e'ampleE people will need more calories for standing than for sitting, people

need more for running than for walking, etc.The energy which is provided by food is in the form of three kinds of chemical substances.

They are carbohydrate, protein and fat. 7arbohydrate provides B.B calories per gram calFgm1

of energy, protein G.0 calFgm and fat B.0 calFgm. 8ach food contains different proportion of

these substances.These three chemical substances are all important for body staying healthy.

$eport Te#t %otes

?eport often starts discussion with brief definition or classification about the thing discussed.

The first paragraph matches with the brief definition of body energy.

After brief definition or classification paragraph, report te't is commonly followed by the

important fact about the topic. The second and third paragraphs tell the important information

about the body energyE how it comes from and what form it is available.



?eport te't is commonly featuring technical or scientific term. 7alories, carbohydrate,

protein, fat etc are some of the e'ample.

Earthquake An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden

release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves. The seismicity or

seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakesexperienced over a period of time. Earthquakes are measured using observations from

seismometers. The moment magnitude is the most common scale on which

earthquakes larger than approximately 5 are reported for the entire globe. The more

numerous earthquakes smaller than magnitude 5 reported by national seismological

observatories are measured mostly on the local magnitude scale, also referred to as the

Richter scale.

These two scales are numerically similar over their range of validity. Magnitude 3

or lower earthquakes are mostly almost imperceptible and magnitude 7 and over

potentially cause serious damage over large areas, depending on their depth. The

largest earthquakes in historic times have been of magnitude slightly over 9, althoughthere is no limit to the possible magnitude. The most recent large earthquake of

magnitude 9.0 or larger was a 9.0 magnitude earthquake in Japan in 2011 (as of March

2011), and it was the largest Japanese earthquake since records began. Intensity of

shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale.

The shallower an earthquake, the more damage to structures it causes, all else

being equal. At the Earth’s surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and

sometimes displacement of the ground. When the epicenter of a large earthquake is

located offshore, the seabed may be displaced sufficiently to cause a tsunami.

Earthquakes can also trigger landslides, and occasionally volcanic activity. In its most general sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic

event — whether natural or caused by humans — that generates seismic waves.

Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults, but also by other

events such as volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear tests. An

earthquake’s point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter. The epicenter is

the point at ground level directly above the hypocenter.



Generic Structure Report Text"

Seperti halnya dengan descriptive text, Report text juga hanya memiliki duastruktur umum [generic structure] yaitu :

Venice

:enice is a city in northern !taly. !t is the capital of region :eneto. Together with ;adua, the

city is included in the ;adua=:enice 6etropolitan Area. :enice has been known as the*Nueen of the Adriatic+, *7ity of Water+, *7ity of -ridges+, and *The 7ity of ight+. The

city stretches across %%4 small islands in the marshy :enetian agoon along the Adriatic <ea

in northeast !taly.

:enice is world=famous for its canals. !t is built on an archipelago of %%4 islands formed by

about %$0 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built are connected by

about G00 bridges. !n the old center, the canals serve the function of roads, and every form of

transport is on water or on foot.

Kou can ride gondola there. !t is the classical :enetian boat which nowadays is mostly used

for tourists, or for weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies. ow, most :enetians travel by

motorised waterbuses *vaporetti+1 which ply regular routes along the ma3or canals and

between the citys islands. The city also has many private boats. The only gondolas still in

common use by :enetians are the traghetti, foot passenger ferries crossing the 2rand 7anal at

certain points without bridges.

Kou can see the amusing citys landmarks such as ;ia((a <an 6arco, ;ala((o 7ontarini del
