Summary
Sichuan Earthquake
The earthquake was a deadly earthquake which was measured 8.0 on the Richter Scale. After the earthquake there was 68,636 people dead from that earthquake. Then after the earthquake there were a lot of aftershocks and some were within the magnitude 6 a few months later after the main one. The main earthquake was on May, 12th, 2008. On November, 6, 2008 the central government announced that it will spend 1 trillion yuan ( $146.5 ) over the next 3 years to rebuilt areas ravaged by the earthquake.
My Thoughts I think that this earthquake impacted a lot on the people from Sichuan, China. I like this article because it explains you a bit about how dangerous earthquakes could be. I am very sorry for the people who died while the earthquake was active.
