“San Andreas” is a movie which
related natural disaster-earthquake and tsunami. An air rescue pilot, Ray and
his wife Emma are planning a divorce and they have a daughter, Blake. One day,
Emma’s boyfriend, Daniel brings Blake to his office at San Francisco and Blake
has two new friends Ben and Ollie. Suddenly, an earthquake happened. Ben and
Ollie help Blake to escape from trapped in car but Daniel leave Blake alone in
the trapped car. This is the part I feel so annoyed. After that, Ray saved Emma
from collapsing building and then they go to save their daughter together. My
feeling after watching this movie is we can only realise who are be true to us
when we are in suffer.
Now,
talk about physics concept which related to earthquake and tsunami. Earthquakes
are the phenomena and it occurs when two blocks of earth suddenly slips past
each other. The surface where they slip is known as the fault plane. The sudden
release of energy causes a shock wave. Earthquake can divided into two types of
shocks which are fore shocks and main shocks. Major earthquake are often started by frequent
fore shocks and follow by the main shocks. Following the main shocks, the
further movement is known as aftershocks which occur as the rock masses settle
in their new position. Earthquake brings many effect such as destroy the environment
in surrounding area by causing fires, landslide and tsunami. Tsunami usually
occurs when earthquakes take place underneath the ocean or when landslide take
place in the ocean. Underwater earthquakes cause the ocean floor to fall and
rise abruptly which causes large volumes of water to be displaced. This
displaced water form into a rolling wave and then become a tsunami.
Last
but not least, both earthquakes and tsunami are natural disaster that we cannot
prevent it. After watching this movie, I know that how terrible the effect of
earthquake and tsunami. I feel very lucky as I stay in a country which does not
experience these disasters.
