Text 1. All about Tsunami

http://thousandsideas.com/explanation-text-all-about-tsunami/

Have you ever wondered why tsunamis

happen? In this article we’ll give you the facts
about these huge waves, so you can better
understand what causes a tsunami.
A tsunami are caused when there is a
disturbance deep under the ocean such as an
earthquake, volcano or a landslide. An
underwater earthquake is the most common
(1)caused for a tsunami, but not just any
underwater earthquake causes a tsunami. The earthquake needs to be a large enough
earthquake of around 7.0 magnitude or bigger.
Underwater earthquakes (2)happen because oceanic and continental plates, which are huge
areas of the earth’s crust, push into each other and build up pressure. The pressure builds and
builds until eventually the oceanic plate slips under the continental plate releasing all that
pressure and energy in the form of an earthquake.
If an underwater earthquake is large enough, the ocean floor will make significant
movements, therefore the water above the sea floor must move too.
The ocean water is pushes upward causing a large ripple that begins to travel through the
ocean. This large ripple, which will become the tsunami, travels at a very fast speed of up to
600 miles per hour.
Because the ocean is so deep, the wave has plenty of room to move, but when it gets near the
shore the wave starts to build in height because the water has nowhere else to travel.
Eventually the wave will hit the shore and travel far inland.

Eventually the ocean will (3)settle down again, and all the water that came onto land from
the tsunami will retreat back into the ocean. Unfortunately such large amounts of water can
cause harm to people and property if they have not be warned. The United States is fortunate
to have a tsunami warning system that can warn us before a tsunami wave approaches our
shores.

Text 2.
Earthquakes being the most deadly natural hazards strike without any prior warning leaving
catastrophe in their wake with terrible loss of human lives as well as economic loss.

Technically, an earthquake (also known as tremor, quake or temblor) is a kind of vibration through
earth’s crust. These powerful movements trigger a rapid release of energy that creates seismic
waves that travel through the earth. Earthquakes are usually brief, but may repeat over a long
period of time (earth science 2001).
Earthquakes are classified as large and small. Large earthquakes usually begin with slight tremors
but rapidly take form of violent shock. The vibrations from a large earthquake last for few days
known as aftershocks. Small earthquakes are usually slight tremors and do not cause much
damage. Large earthquakes are known to take down buildings and cause death and injury (Richter
1935). According to some statistics, there may be an average of 500,000 earthquakes every year
but only about 100,000 can be felt and about 100 or so can cause damage each year.

Earthquakes are dreaded by everyone.
