V. Read the passage, then decide if the statements that follow it are True or False (1,0 pt)
 Earthquakes are natural events. They usually happen very quickly. In fact, most earthquakes 
last less than thirty seconds.
 You may be surprised to hear that earthquakes are not rare. In fact, earthquakes happen every 
day somewhere in the world. Most of them are weak. There are times, however, when an earthquake is 
very powerful and causes a lot of damage. One strong earthquake can destroy houses, bridges, railroad 
tracks, and more.
 Earthquakes are caused by the movement of huge pieces of rock under Earth’s surface. The 
pieces are called tectonic plates. These plates are found in the top layers of Earth, called the crust and the 
upper mantle. Tectonic plates have rough edges and are always moving. Usually, they move slowly. But 
there are times when the plates get stuck against each other. If that happens, pressure builds up. When the 
two plates finally get “unstuck,” they release energy. Often, a small amount of energy is released. That 
will mean a small earthquake. However, sometimes a lot of energy is released. When that happens, the 
earthquake that follows will be strongand dangerous!
19. Most earthquakes don’t last more than thirty seconds. 
20. Most of them are strong. 
21. Tectonic plates are the crust and the upper mantle. 
22. A strong earthquake happens when a lot of energy is released by the unstuck plates.
