Nhận biếtReading the Following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. The most common causes of tsunamis are underwater earthquakes. To understand earthquakes, you must first understand plate tectonics. The theory of plate tectonics suggests that the lithosphere, or top layer of the Earth, is made up of a series of huge plates. These plates make up the continents and seafloor. They rest on an underlying viscous layer called the asthenosphere. Think of pie cut into eight slices. The pie crust would be the lithosphere and the hot, sticky pie filling underneath would be the asthenosphere. On the Earth, these plates are constantly in motion, moving along each other at a speed of 1 to 2 inches ( 2.5 – 5 cm) per year. The movement occurs most dramatically along earthquakes and volcanism, which, when they occur at the bottom of the ocean, are two possible sources of tsunamis. When two plates come into contact at a region known as a plate boundary, a heavier plate can slip under a lighter one. This is called subduction. Underwater subduction often leaves enormous “ handprints” in the form of deep ocean trenches along the seafloor. In some cases of subduction, part of the seafloor connected to the lighter plate may “snap up” suddenly due to pressure from the sinking plate. This results in an earthquake. The focus of the the earthquke is the point within the Earth where the rupture first occurs, rock break and the first seismic waves are generated. The epicenter is the point on the seafloor directly about the focus. When this piece of the plate snaps up and sends tons of rock shooting upward with tremendous force, the energy of that force is transferred to the water. The energy pushes the water upward above normal sea level. This is birth of a tsunami. The earthquake that generated the December 26, 2004 tsunami in the Idian Ocean was a 9.0 on the Richter scale – one of the biggest in recorded history. ( Source: Solomon Asea)

5 dòng đầu của đoạn 3 nói về nguyên nhân xảy ra của động đất. Nó sinh ra khi “When two plates come into contact… => subduction => “snap up” suddenly => earthquakes. Vậy nên khi không có lỗi của kiến tạo mảng xảy ra (no fault line of plate tectonics happens )thì không xảy ra động đất
