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 epicenter of the earthquake. 11.

possible reason 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 vapor
and this moist air travels over mountain ranges. When begins to rise, the air cool and this causes the
water vapor 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. 16. What does the text tell about ? a. How desert
