The media normally reports only the major earthquakes that occur around the world, even though there are dozens each day, many of which are insignificant and cause no damage. The earthquake that struck Christchurch in New Zealand on Wednesday 22nd February 2011 however was just one of a large number of aftershocks that had hit the area since a large earthquake on 4th September 2010.

Dozens of earthquakes occur daily around the world, but we only ever hear about the big ones, those that cause major damage, destruction or loss of life. It does seem though that in the last several years, there have been more than the average number of major earthquakes, as well as some significant volcanic activity around the world. Should we be concerned about this? Is it related to Global Warming or Climate Change? Is the earth going through some changes that could bring about the end of the world as we know it?
Bournemouth is one of the finest seaside towns on the south coast of England, and it has a lot to offer the tourist at any time of the year. Apart from the miles of beaches that are comprised of fine golden sand, which have a backdrop of sandstone cliffs, Bournemouth has a number of theatres, two piers, lots of public gardens and other places to take scenic walks, and plenty of nightlife too.
Before the summer finally ends, pay a visit to Bournemouth and other beautiful and historic places in Dorset on the South Coast of England. Explore the sandy beaches of Sandbanks and marvel at the Millionaires Mansions. Take a ride across the entrance to Poole Harbour and across to the Isle Of Purbeck. Spend a day wandering the streets in Christchurch with it’s historic Priory church, or drive through The New Forest, and see horses, cattle and deer wandering free. There is so much to do in the Bournemouth area. Come visit soon.
