HOW EARTHQUAKE HAPPENS

General statement
Earthquake is one of the most destroying natural disasters. Unluckily it often happens in several regions. Recently a horrible earthquake has shaken West Sumatra. It has brought great damages. Why did it occur? Do you know how an earthquake happens?

Explanation
Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves. It make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little. They don't just slide smoothly. The rocks are still pushing against each other, but not moving. After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that's built up. When the rocks break, the earthquake occurs.

Explanation
During the earthquake and afterward, the plates or blocks of rock start moving, and they continue to move until they get stuck again. The spot underground where the rock breaks is called the focus of the earthquake. The place right above the focus is called the epicenter of the earthquake.

Explanation

What is tempe? Tempe is a kind of food made of fermented soybean. It is the most popular food in Indonesia. It is practice, delicious, nutritious, and good for our health. Tempe contains some nutrition such as amino acid, omega 3 and omega 6, vitamin B, mineral, protein, and other antioxidants.

Tempe may be made from soybeans, wheat, or may include a mixture of soybeans and whole grains. In Indonesia, it is usual to use soybeans to make tempe. Tempe begins with whole soybeans, which are softened by soaking and hulling, then partly cooked. This is needed to make the soybeans absorb water and the acid in soaking process and also help mycelium fungi penetrate the beans.

A mild acidulent, usually vinegar, may be added in order to lower the pH and create a selective environment that favours the growth of the tempeh mould over competitors. A fermentation starter containing the spores of fungus Rhizopus oligosporus is mixed in. The beans are spread into a thin layer and are allowed to ferment for 24 to 36 hours at a temperature around 30°C (86°F). In good tempe, the beans are knitted together by a mat of white mycelia.

Under conditions of lower temperature, or higher ventilation, grey or black patches of spores may form on the surface—this is not harmful, and should not affect the flavour or quality of the tempe. This sporulation is normal on fully mature tempe. A mild ammonia smell may accompany good tempe as it ferments, but it should not be overpowering. In Indonesia, ripe tempe (two or more days old) is considered a delicacy.

Respiration (Explanation)

Every human needs the air that contains oxygen for breathing. Without it, we will not life and we can not do our daily activities but have you ever thought about the process of respiration?

First, the air enters through our nose. In the nose, it will be warmed by mucus membrane and it also will be cleaned by the soft hairs in the nose. After that, it flows through the throat, larynx, and trachea. And if there’s a strange thing which is brought by the air, it will be refused by a web which is located in trachea. Then, the air flows through a branch of bronchus called bronchioles. The last, it enters into a branch of bronchioles called Alveolus. Alveolus is collection of the lung’s bubble an it’s a place were the change between oxygen and carbon dioxide happens.
