Sunday's Tsunami wave triggered by big earthquake at Sumatra, 8.9 magnitude. Big tidal waves are known as 'Tsunamis' in Japanese. It means 'harbor waves' in Japanese. These waves are caused by rise or fall of the earth's crust under the ocean. They have lived under the threat of Tsunamis of 10 meter height and moving with jet speed of 800 Km/Hr. Tsunamis originate from the Pacific- the area is known as 'ring of fire' for being the world's most geologically active region. |

Car donation. Did the pictures of destruction move you a bit? What you can do for them? I have donated my used car. I learnt that it is most sought after. It gives you tax relief. Charity organisations take care of your car and tax is written off. If you have used your car long enough, its time to donate it for the victims. Donate cars, trucks, vans, boats, and Rvs as others are doing without any hassles. Car donation is the right choice for the cause of charity and your tax relief. |
