Earlier this week, in North New Jersey (near
Morris County), there was an earthquake that
had a magnitude of 3.0. That is very minor
compared to the ones that happen in California.
The reason it seemed so big was because it only
happened two feet underground. The residents
of North New Jersey felt and heard every five to
ten seconds of this earthquake. Most residents thought it was a plane or
car crash, but nobody guessed that it was an earthquake. This earthquake
happened because two rocks ,underground, broke. I think that this article
is important to read because people need to know that earthquakes can
happen anywhere. Not just California.
