Tsunami
The term of “tsunami” comes from the Japanese which means harbour ("tsu") and wave
("nami"). A tsunami is a series of waves generated when water in a lake or a sea is rapidly
displaced on a massive scale.
A tsunami can be generated when the sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically displaces the
overlying water. Such large vertical movements of the earth's crust can occur at plate
boundaries.
Subduction of earthquakes are particularly effective in generating tsunami, and occur where
denser oceanic plates slip under continental plates.
As the displaced water mass moves under the influence of gravity to regain its equilibrium, it
radiates across the ocean like ripples on a pond.
Tsunami always bring great damage. Most of the damage is caused by the huge mass of water
behind the initial wave front, as the height of the sea keeps rising fast and floods powerfully
into the coastal area.

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom named Auretto, all people lived
peacefully there. One of them was Charlita, the king’s daughter who was
assumed as the most beautiful and kindest Princess of Auretto.
One day, Charlita looked blue. Because of that her father got confused. “What’s
the matter my beautiful daughter? Why are you so sad?” asked King Fernando.
Charlita was just silent. She did not say anything.
The following morning, everybody came to the palace, tried to give their best
performance. They seemed happy and laugh, but not for Princess Charlita. She
was just silent and still looked sad.
King Fernando started to give up. No one amused his daughter. Then, there
came a young handsome man. “Excuse me King Fernando. I would like to join
your competition. But, would you mind if I took Princess Charlita for a walk?”
said the young man gently. “As long as you make my daughter be happy again,
it will totally alright.” said King Fernando. The young handsome man took
Princess Charlita for a walk in a beautiful blue lake with a green forest around it.
Princess Charlita smiled and looked happy after that. Every body looked happy,
too. “I know why are you so my beautiful daughter. Now, I promise I will
environment green. I regret for always destroying it. Finally, the environment
around the kingdom became so beautiful and green, full of plants. Then, the
young handsome man got a prize from the king. “I will marry you off my
daughter.” said him. “That is the prize I promise for you. Thanks for keeping our
environment well. Thanks for making my daughter happy again.”

Certainly, facebook has many advantages. The easiness of communication is what most people
agree. We have had old friends and we are being separated by time and distance. Facebook is a
great way to reconnect us again. We have a family who lives far away. Again, Facebook can helps us
to stay connected. We can send news and share pictures with them of recent family activities. This
easy communication makes us get together though we ar not.
Another advantage of facebook is for bussiness purpose. Some companies use facebook to promote
their products and services. They will make Facebook page and write about their product and
services and will be easily connected to millions of people in the world. Facebook is a great outlet for
companies which needs to find new clients and keep contact with them easily. This is actually the
biggest selling point to facebook.
Besides the advantages, facebook has also disadvantages. Facebook is sometime scaring and
annoying. It is about a "virtual" friend. Facebook makes such friend connection exist, though may
not in fact. Fake Identity is another disadvantage. Who can guarantee that your friends in facebook
have used the real identity?
Facebook newsfeed can also become annoying. There are a lot of people who just want to talk
everything which sometimes makes no sense for us. Spamming is another problem with facebook.
We often receive invitations to games or things which we don't like but we feel to be forced to like
them too.
According to me, facebook is not as an entirely bad thing or a completely good thing. Facebook is
absolutely about how we can use it wisely and safely.
