The Concorde plane was an enormous, graceful bird in flight. Its landing wheels were about four feet in diameter. Remarkably, its reached a top speed of about 690m.p.h. It passed the test to fly passengers in 1947 and its first supersonic passenger plane flew 19 years later in 1976. The regular Concorde destinations were: London, Paris, New York and Barbados. The Concorde first came to Barbados in 1977 to take Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth 11 back to England. Since Barbados was one of the four regular destinations to which the Concorde traveled, it was for this reason after the Concorde fleet was retired in 2003, British Airways loaned Concorde G-BOAE to the people of Barbados in recognition of the role that the island played in Concorde’s success. 

This tremendously imposing state of the art machinery is located in very close proximity to the Grantley Adams International Airport. The aircraft is resting at The Concorde Museum which was designed under the sponsorship of the Barbados Hotel Association, Goddards Shipping and Tours and the Barbados Museum. The Concorde experience, as it is called, is a thrill to behold. When patrons visit the Museum they get an opportunity to fly the Concorde in a simulation exercise. It is said that although this is not a real experience it sends sensations throughout the whole body as one guides the plane along the runway on a screen in the forefront. This is indeed a most interactive experience which should be enjoyed by everyone.

PLEASE PRACTISE READING THE PASSAGE ALOUD.

The outer layer of the earth’s surface is called the crust. The crust is made up of fifty to eighty kilometres thick plates that carry the continents and seafloor. 

To best understand plates, think about some crackers (biscuits) floating to the surface on some hot milk. The crackers, like the plates, will move and rub against each other. At times, a cracker may move under or above another causing the hot milk to rise to the surface.

Beneath the plates (crust) there are molten rocks call magma. These plates rub each other, pull apart and crash head-on causing earthquakes and volcanoes. A volcano is formed when magma gushes past the plate above.

 Lava shoots out of the volcano in a fantastic display like fireworks. Lava can ooze quickly or slowly depending on the amount of silica in it. Silica is the main ingredient in sand. Lava rich in silica will move slowly but silica-poor lava can form a gushing hot river that will spread for many miles before cooling and hardening. Volcanoes are destructive.

1. According to the passage what are plates?

2. How are earthquakes caused?

3.  What determines the speed at which lava flows?

4. What ingredient found in lava is also found in sand?

5. How does the writer describe the lava gushing out of a volcano?

6. Suggest a suitable title for the passage.

7. Why do you think the writer used the example of crackers floating on hot milk in paragraph one?
