Earthquakes are one of the most powerful natural disasters on the earth. When large sections of underground rock break and move suddenly, the ground begins to rock and an earthquake is felt. Small earthquakes do not cause much damage, but large ones are disastrous. They have caused buildings and bridges to fall and rivers to change their paths. Earthquakes near mountains and cliffs can cause landslides that cover up the houses and roads below. If a large earthquake occurs under the ocean, it can cause giant waves called tsunamis which can destroy entire towns.

 When large earthquakes occur in a city, there is danger of fire caused by broken gas lines and electric lines. It becomes difficult to assist people in need of help or who are trapped because of damaged telephone lines and broken roadways. Broken telephone lines and damaged roads make it difficult for rescue workers to help people who are in need. Scientists are trying to find ways to predict when an earthquake will happen so that people can be warned ahead of time.

2. Name four effects of earthquakes that are identified in the passage.

Saturday Classes 2024

Saturday, May 18, 2024 Class 3's                                      COMPREHENSION I dared not stir out of my castle for days, lest some savage should capture me. However, I gained a little courage and went with much dread to make sure that the footprint was not mine. I measured my foot against it. Mine was not nearly so large. A stranger, maybe a savage, must have been on shore, and fear again filled my heart. I determined now to make my house more secure than ever. I built another wall around it, in which I fixed six guns, so that, if need be, I could fire six in two minutes. Then I planted young trees all around. I feared my goats might be hurt or stolen from me, so I fenced round several plots of ground, as much out of sight as possible, and put some goats in each plot. I did all this, while I lived with a terrible fear in my mind that I might one day meet an enemy. I had lived eighteen y...
