I learned that guitar synthesizers are very cool. A chord is multiple notes played at the same time. A riff is notes played seperatly. I heard many different effects of the synthesizers like a helicopter a walrus and a horse. The two ways to strum a guitar are a pick or finger picking.

What are the effects an earthquake? Please give any known examples.

Tectonic plates moving and crashing together can cause earthquakes. An earthquake can destroy houses and everything else around the houses. People can fall and be killed during an earthquake, like when an earthquake hit the Golden Gate Bridge.

tuesday writing prompt

I am going to write about landforms.  Glaciers are slowly moving masses of ice made by build ups of snow.  Next up is volcanoes, they are tubes that lead down to the core of the earth and they spew magma.  The grand canyon is the deepest place in america.  That wraps up my paragraph about landforms.
