A 7.1 Earthquake Rattles the Central American Morning; Could've Been A Lot Worse!

Earthquake may be predicted or not. That is why it is called natural calamity. So we should always be prepare and try to protect our environment because I believe that nature can also be too dangerous when we continuously destroy them. In relation to environment care, did you know an insect called Phobaeticus Chani? Phobaeticus Chani is officially the world's longest insect. The erstwhile insect, Phobaeticus Chani or Chans Megastick is a stick insect from Malaysia that measures up to about two feet long, and was unknown until late 2008. It's one of several newly discovered species that ought to call for a boost to science funding and a payday to science programs. Another fascinating new species is Leptotyphlops carlae, or the Barbados Threadsnake. It's incredibly tiny, smaller than a lot of worms, but it is an actual snake. It is oft forgot how little we actually know about our own world, and scientific study is worth payday advances as we can learn more about Phobaeticus Chani and other species as yet unknown.

That's interesting to ready why a 7.1 earthquake can be so deadly somewhere, yet in another place a 7.1 does minimal damage. I didn't know there were different types of fault lines either.
