Q.5
The following passage contains some highlighted words, guess the meaning
of these words and use them into
sentences of your own. Write down summary of the passage as well. (15)
Earthquakes
are the shaking and moving of the ground when energy is released in waves.
These waves are called seismic waves.
These waves are similar to ocean waves, which move through water.
Seismic waves, however, move through the ground. Most earthquakes are caused by
the movement of large sections of the Earth’s crust, called plates. The place
where two plates meet is called a fault. Faults look like large cracks in the
ground. If the two plates move in different directions, they build up energy at
the fault line. When enough energy builds up, the stress on the fault becomes
too great and it ruptures. This
releases the energy and the ground starts to shake. Earthquakes can also be
caused by other natural events, such as landslides and volcanoes. Man-made earthquakes happen because of nuclear testing
and mining explosions. first movement of an earthquake, called the main shock,
is often followed by smaller ground trembles, called aftershocks. These
aftershocks are the plates settling into their new position. Aftershocks can
continue for days after the main shock. There are an estimated 500,000
earthquakes around the world each year. Most are so mild they are only recorded
on scientific instruments. Only about 100,000 can be felt by humans. Of these,
only about 19 a year cause major damage. Major earthquakes in populated areas
can cause huge destruction.
Buildings collapse, roads and bridges
buckle and crack, and electrical and gas lines break and cause fi res. If the
earthquake happens in the ocean, it makes a series of huge ocean waves called a
tsunami. The tsunami travels until it finally reaches land, where it causes
large flooding. Scientists are searching for ways to predict earthquakes. They study the historical patterns of
earthquakes and monitor the movement of the plates with seismic equipment.
While they cannot predict an exact date of a future earthquake, they have a
better understanding of when earthquakes are more likely to happen.
