The aim of the game is to try not to hit the white tiles only the black tiles, on tablet it's easy because you can tap the black tiles very easily with your fingers but with a netbook or computer it's a bit harder because you have to use the keyboard, the main keys are a, s, d, and f.

To play this game you have to press the key letters that shows on the screen, so once you see the letters, press that key as fast as you can so there would be enough time to press the other key, then keep on making new high scores.

separated your sticks and you would might want to go a bet far away from each other. Run straight to the sticks then run skip and then jump but remember to don't take two step between the gaps. Here's an a example of my friend Solomone.

        

      

What causes lightning and earthquake.

What causes lighting.         

Lighting is made by an electric current within an thundercloud way up in the sky, and it is made out of many small bits of frozen ice raindrops, it bumps into each other as they move around in the air. After a while the whole cloud fills up with electrical lighting and it's more likely to strike anywhere but usually it is after thunder.

What causes earthquake.

There are about 20 plates along the surface of the earth that move continuously and slowly past each other. When the plates squeeze or stretch, huge rocks form at their edges and the rocks shift with great force, causing an earthquake. Think of it this way: Imagine holding a pencil horizontally. If you were to apply a force to both ends of the pencil by pushing down on them, you would see the pencil bend.
