Earthquakes
Earthquakes are the sudden shock of the earth’s surface that result in the earth shaking and
rolling. They can be felt over large geographical areas for brief moments of time. This is a
natural way for the earth to release stress.
There are nearly 20 tectonic plates that are along the earth’s surface that continuously move
past each other. When these plates stretch or squeeze, huge rocks form at their edges and the
rocks shift causing an earthquake. You can visualize an earthquake by holding a pencil
horizontally in the air and applying force to both ends by pushing down on them. Eventually,
the pencil will break somewhere. This is exactly how the earth’s crust reacts to produce an
earthquake.

Alternative Energy Sources
Geothermal Energy. Geothermal means “earth
heat”. This energy captures the heat energy under
the Earth. Hot rocks under the ground help to heat
water to produce steam. If holes are dug in this area
of the ground, then the steam shoots up and is
purified and used to drive turbines, which in turn
gives power to electric generators. The advantages
of this type of energy is that there are no harmful by-
products, it is self-sufficient once the geothermal
plant is built, and the plants are generally small so there is no negative visual effect on the area
surrounding the plant.
5. Which type of power means “earth heat”?
A. Coal C. Geothermal
B. Mineral D. Hydroelectric
6. Water is heated by…
A. Earth C. Steam
B. Hot rocks D. Plants

dangers awaiting them were totally unexpected. The colonists never would have survived the
terrible winters. They knew nothing about planting crops, hunting animals, building sod houses,
or making clothing from animal skins. Life in England had been much simpler, and this new life
was not like what the Spanish explorers had reported.
The settlers did introduce iron tools, muskets for hunting, domesticated animals, and
political ways to Indians. In exchange, they got snowshoes and toboggans for winter traveling.
The Indians also taught them to blaze trails through the forest, to hunt large animals and trap
smaller ones, and to spear fish in the lakes and streams.
The local people who lived there - the natives, also introduced to the settlers typical foods
such as turkey, corn, squash, beans, and pumpkin. Everything possible was done in order to
make their new settlement resemble the homes they had left behind.
