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.


1. What causes an earthquake?

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

3. What difficulties do rescue workers face after an earthquake?
