How Earthquakes Happen Earthquake is one of the most destroying natural disasters. Unluckily it
often happens in several regions. Recently a horrible earthquake has shaken West Sumatra. It has brought
great damages. Why did it occur? Do you know how an earthquake happens? Earthquakes are usually
caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the
seismic waves.
It make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other,
they stick a little. They don't just slide smoothly. The rocks are still pushing against each other, but not
moving. After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that's built up. When the rocks break,
the earthquake occurs. During the earthquake and afterward, the plates or blocks of rock start moving, and
they continue to move until they get stuck again. The spot underground where the rock breaks is called
the focus of the earthquake. The place right above the focus is called the epicentre of the earthquake.

Text 4 (Questions number 6-10)
How Desert Remains Dry These are three possible reasons why desert remain dry. These are high
mountain barrier, Cold Ocean current and high pressure system. When warm air passes over the ocean it
pick up moisture in the form of water vapour and this moist air travels over mountain ranges. When
begins to rise, the air cool and this causes the water vapour to condense into droplets which falls as rain.
When the air reaches the other side of the mountain barrier, it has lost all moisture and so the other side of
the mountain remains dry.
Cold Ocean Current Air passing over old ocean current is cooled and therefore is unable to pick up
and hold much moisture. When this cold air mass reaches the warm desert, any moisture in the air is
evaporated and so does not fall as rain and so the desert remains dry.
