II. Read the text carefully, then answer the questions below ( 2,5 ms)
1. Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes destroyed as a result of an
earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon when habitants of Tokyo
were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned as soon as the earth began
to shake. As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. The fire engines were
prevented from going to help because many of the roads had cracked open. It was impossible to use
fire fighting equipment as most of the water pipes had burst. Consequently, over ninety percent of
the damage was caused by fire rather than by the collapse of buildings.
1. What happened when there was an earthquake in Tokyo in 1923?
2. When did the earthquake begin?
3. What were habitants of Tokyo doing when the earthquake began?

people were killed when home, office blocks and highways collapsed.
Tidal waves: Tidal waves are the result of an abrupt shift in the underwater movement of the Earth.
In the 1960s, a huge tidal wave hit Anchorage, Alaska. The tidal wave traveled from Alaska to
California!
Typhoons: When a tropical storm reaches 120 kilometers per hour, it is called a hurricane in North
and South America, a cyclone in Australia, and typhoon in Asia. The word “ typhoon” come from
Chinese: “tai” means “ big” and “ feng” means “ wind”, so the word “ typhoon” means “ big
wind”.
Volcanoes: We can usually predict when a volcano will erupt. Mount Pinatubo, which is a volcano
in the Philippines, erupted in 1991. It was the world’s largest volcanic eruption in more than 50
years. Hundreds of people died, but thousands were saved because scientists had warned the about
the eruption.
1. Where do most of earthquakes occur?
2. When can a tidal wave occur?
3. What does the word “ typhoon” mean?
4. Can we predict a volcano?
5. Was the Mount Pinatubo the world’s largest volcanic eruption in more than 50 years?
