There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe Two that are frequently linked to one another are earthquakes and tsunamis Both of them can cause a great amount of devastation when they hit However, tsunamis are the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen without them
The Earth has three main parts They are the crust, the mantle, and the core The crust is the
outer layer of the Earth It is not a single piece of land Instead, it is comprised of a number of
plates There are a few enormous plates and many smaller ones These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is fluid As a result, the plates are in constant - yet slow - motion The plates may move away from or towards other plates In some cases, they collide violently with the plates
adjoining them The movement of the plates causes tension in the rock Over a long time, this
tension may build up When it is released, an earthquake happens
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year The vast majority are so small that
only scientific instruments can perceive them Others are powerful enough that people can feel
them, yet they cause little harm or damage More powerfiil earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other structures to collapse They may additionally injure and skill thousands of people and might even cause the land to change it appearance
Trang 3Since most of the Earth’s surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet’s oceans Underwater earthquakes cause the seafloor to move This results in the
displacement of water in the ocean When this occurs, a tsunami may form This is a wave that
forms on the surface and moves in all directions from the place where the earthquake happened A
tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travel thousnads of kilometres As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea This causes the tsunamis to increase in height Minutes later, the tsunami arrives A large tsunami - one more than ten meters in height - can travel
far inland As it does that, it can flood the land, destroy human settlements, and kill large numbers
of people

MY FIRST BIKE
Film star, Ewan McGregor, recently rode round the world on a motorbike.
He talks about how he first took up riding motorbikes.
My biking beginnings can be summed up in two words: teenage love My first girlfriend was small with short, mousy blonde hair, and I was mad about her Our romance came to an abrupt end, however, when she started out with another guy in my hometown, Crieff He rode a 50cc road bike
first and then a 125 And whereas I had always walked my girlfriend home, suddenly she was going back with this guy
I was nearly sixteen by then and already heartbroken Then one day, on the way back from a
shopping trip to Perth with my mum, we passed Buchan's, the local bike shop I urged my mother
to stop the car I got out, walked up the short hill to the shop and pressed my nose to the window There was a light-blue 50cc bike on display right at the front of the shop I didn’t know what make
it was, or if it was any good Such trivialities were irrelevant to me All I knew was that I could get
it in three or four months' time when I was sixteen and allowed to ride it Maybe I could even get
my girlfriend back
I’d ridden my first bike when I was about six My father got hold of a tiny red Honda 50 cc
and we headed off to a shot off to a field that belonged to a family friend I clambered on and shot off I went all over the field I thought it was just best thing I loved the smell of it, the sound of it,
the look of it, the rush of it, the high-pitched screaming of the engine Best of all, there was a Land Rover parked next to two large piles of straw with about a metre and a half between them I knew that from where the adults were standing it looked as if there was no distance between them Just one large heap of straw I thought I would have a go I came racing towards the adults, and shot
right through the gap in the straw I was thrilled to hear the adults scream and elated that it had frightened them It was my first time on a motorbike It was exciting and I wanted more
So when I looked through Buchan's window in Perth that day, it suddenly all made sense
to me It was what had to happen I can't remember whether it was to win back my ex-girlfriend's
heart or not, but more than anything else it meant that, instead of having to walk everywhere, I could ride my motorbike to school and the games fields at the bottom of Crieff and when I went out
at weekends
I started to fantasize about it I spent all my waking hours thinking about getting on and starting up the bike, putting on the helmet and riding around Crieff I couldn't sleep Driven to desperation by my desire for a bike, I made a series of promises to my mum: I won’t leave town I'll
be safe I won't take risks I won't do anything stupid But, in fact I was making the promises up - I never thought about keeping them
Trang 5At the time that I was begging for a bike, I'd already had an accident with a bike belonging
to George Carson, the school laboratory technician When I asked him if I could borrow it, he agreed, not knowing that I didn't have a clue how to ride it The bike was in an alleyway up the side
of the school hall I managed to start it and zoomed down the alleyway until I crashed smack into a wall, bending the wheel and snapping the handlebars Mr Carson came out to find me looking very red-faced The bill for the damage came to more than £80, a fortune to a fifteen-year old in those
days and one that took me months of working as a dish washer and waiter at the Murray Park
Hotel to pay back
