On Saturday and powerful earthquake struck Sichuan a southwestern China province killing over one hundred people and leaving over six thousand people injured. The earthquake struck the province at 8am just a few miles away from the capital of the province. Following the earthquake there were several aftershocks that were reported a magnitude of 5.1. Many people are still missing authorities sent out a search team to look for the missing people.
This is very devastating. I hope the search team can find those missing people alive. I hope that all of the injured people can recover and that this province can be rebuilt and stay strong.

I wonder if this was caused because of the plates moving and the Ring of Fire.
