If the crust(外壳)of the earth were not pretty solid(坚固的)，it would be shaking and moving up and down frequently.However，there are places in the rocks of the earth's crust where it isn't strongly held together—where faults exist.Along the faults，one rock might push against another with great force.The energy is changed to 　vibration　 in the rocks，so they begin to shake and we have an earthquake!

The most famous one in North America was the San Francisco earthquake of 1906.Seven hundred people died and property(财产)damage amounted to about $425,000,000.The greatest destruction came from the fires that followed the quake.

One of the most famous earthquakes in Europe took place in Lisbon，Portugal，in 1755.The city was destroyed and at least thirty thousand people were killed.In 1908，in Calabria and Sicily，a quake killed about seventyfive thousand people.In 1915，in central Italy，hundreds of towns and villages were damaged and thirty thousand people were killed.

Two great earthquakes that caused great damage in Asia took place in Tokyo，Japan，and in Gansu Province in China.The Tokyo quake of 1923 killed more than one hundred thousand people and destroyed the city and the city of Yokohama，too.The Chinese quake in 1920 covered more than three hundred square miles and killed about two hundred thousand people.

A powerful ocean storm killed at least 11 people and forced the closure of one of Japan's busiest airports.

Typhoon Jebi struck Japan's western island of Shikoku on Tuesday，September 4th.With continuous winds of 160 kilometers an hour，it was the strongest storm to hit Japan since 1993.

Boats rescued about 3,000 people who could not leave Kansai International Airport.The airport is built on a manmade island in Osaka Bay.

Passengers who were trapped in the airport overnight said there was no electricity，food or wireless service.

The island was cut off when a large ship crashed into and badly damaged a bridge between the airport and the mainland.

Runways at the airport largely sank underwater after the storm struck Tuesday.Officials say they do not know when the airport will reopen.

Kansai is an important airport for visitors to Osaka，Kyoto and Kobe.It also is a center for the transportation of computer chips，electronics and other exports.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said on Wednesday that about 470 people had been hurt in the storm.Kansai Electric Power Company said that more than 400,000 people were without electricity.
