Contoh Report Text tentang Fenomena Alam Banjir dan Gempa Bumi dalam Bahasa Inggris

Report text adalah teks dalam bahasa inggris yang menjelaskan sesuatu hal secara umum. Report text menjelaskan deskripsi tentang suatu benda atau kejadian berdasarkan pada penelitian ilmiah atau fakta.

Walapun sama-sama mendeskripsikan sesuatu benda atau kejadian, report text berbeda dengan deskriptive text. Report text menjelaskan sesuatu atau kejadian secara umum atau general. Contoh judul report text adalah smartphone, book dan car. Sedangkan descriptive text menjelaskan sesuatu atau kejadian secara khusus. Contoh judul descriptive text adalah my car; my best friend, Andre dan my home. Dari pengertian dan contoh judulnya kita bisa melihat bahwa report text dan descriptive text memiliki perbedaan walaupun sama-sama mendeskripsikan sesuatu.

Selanjutnya adalah Generic Structure Report Text. Report text terdiri dari dua bagian yaitu:

• General Classification

Pada bagian ini terdapat pernyataan umum yang menerangkan objek yang akan dideskripsikan.

• Description 

Bagian ini berisi deskripsi tentang objek yang dilaporkan meliputi bagian-bagian, sifat-sifat, kebiasaannya atau pun tingkah lakunya. Penjabaran klasifikasi dilakukan secara ilmiah.

Berikut ini Contoh Report Text tentang Fenomena Alam dalam Bahasa Inggris :

Floods 

A flood is an overflow of any amount of water that reaches land. Floods usually occur when the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake, exceeds the total capacity of the formation, and as a result some of the water flows or sits outside of the normal perimeter of the body. However, floods may be secondary effects of earthquakes, if dams are damaged. Earthquakes may cause landslides to river dams, which then collapse and cause floods.

Earthquakes 

An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor, or tremblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are recorded with a seismometer or a seismograph. The moment magnitude (or the related and mostly obsolete Richter magnitude) of an earthquake is conventionally repoted, with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being mostly imperceptible and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas. Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale.

At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacing the ground. When a large earthquake epicenter is located offshore, the seabed sometimes suffers sufficient displacement to cause a tsunami. The shaking in earthquakes can also trigger landslides and occasionally volcanic activity.

In its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event - whether a natural phenomenon or an event caused by humans - that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by the rupture of geological faults, but also by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments. An earthquake's point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter. The term epicenter refers to the point at ground level directly above the hypocenter.
