Water Pollution

Over two thirds of Earth's surface is covered by water; less than a third is taken up by land. As Earth's population continues to grow, people are putting pressure on the planet's water resources. In a sense, our oceans, rivers, and seas are being "tortured" by human activities, which reduce its quality. Poorer water quality means water pollution.

We can define pollution in so many ways. Usually, it means that one or more dangerous substances occur in water to such an extent that they cause problems for animals or people. Oceans, lakes, rivers, and other inland waters can naturally clean up a certain amount of pollution by dispersing it harmlessly. But the problem is with big concentrations of dangerous chemicals. This, in turn, could affect the health of all the plants, animals, and humans whose lives depend on water.

Pollution can affect two types of water: surface waters and groundwater. There are also two different ways in which pollution can occur. If pollution comes from a single location, such as a discharge pipe attached to a factory, it is known as point-source pollution. Other examples of point source pollution include an oil spill from a tanker and a discharge from a factory chimney. A great deal of water pollution happens not from one single source but from many different scattered sources. This is called nonpoint-source pollution

Earthquake in Kraljevo

Last night a shocking thing happened. There was an strong earthquake that shook the whole Serbia. This earthquake happened at 01:58 after midnight, The earthquake was so strong that it was felt almost every city in Serbia.

The epicenter was 10 kilometers north of Kraljevo. The Serbian seismological institute measured that the magnitude of the earthquake was 5.3 at a relatively shallow depth of 10 km. In this tragic earthquake 2 lost t lives. Many of the buildings are damaged, so at the moment there is no electricity and they don't have much water.

From the firth earthquake until now there were 20 small quakes which were not so strong as the first one. The last one occurred around 09:00 in the morning. Kraljevo is  under the state of emergency, because people are afraid that maybe there will be more aftershocks.


I think this is very scary for Serbia because you don't know when  another one can happen. I hope this is the last quake that Serbia will ever have.

I woke up at 2 in the morning, my whole room was shacking. I thought  it was a dream, so I continued to sleep.
