The hard, rigid plates that form the outermost portion of the Earth are about 100 kilometers thick. These plates include both the Earth’s crust and the upper man tle. The rocks of the crust are composed mostly of minerals with light elements, like aluminum and sodium, while the mantle contains some heavier elements, like iron and magnesium. Together, the crust and upper mantle that form the surface plates are calle d the lithosphere. This rigid layer floats on the denser material of the lower mantle the way a wooden raft flats on a pond. The plates are supported by a weak, plastic layer of the lower mantle called the asthenosphere. Also like a raft on a pond, the lit hospheric plates are carried along by slow currents in this more fluid layer beneath them. With an understating of plate tectonics, geologists have put together a new history for the Earth’s surface. About 200 million years ago, the plates at the Earth’s s urface formed a “suppercontinent” called Pangaea. When this supercontinent started to tear apart because of plate movement, Pangaea first broke into two large continental masses with a newly formed sea that grew between the land areas the depression filled with water. The southern one, which included the modern continents of South America, Africa, Australia, and Antarctic, is called Gondwanaland. The northern one, with North America, Europe, and Asia, is called Laurasi. North America tore away from Europe a bout 180 million years ago, forming the northern Atlantic Ocean. Some of the lithospheric plates carry ocean floor and others carry land masses or a combination of the two types. The movement of the lithospheric plates is responsible for earthquakes, volc anoes, and the Earth’s largest mountain ranges. Current understating of the interaction between different plates explains why these occur where they do. For example, the edge of the Pacific Ocean has been called the “Ring of Fire” because so many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes happen there. Before the 1960’s, geologists could not explain why active volcanoes and strong earthquakes were concentrate in that region. The theory of plate tectonics gave them an answer.

The mineral composition of the Earth’s crust. C. The location of the Earth’s major plates. D. The methods used by scientists to measure plate movement.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions. Television, like language, can be a cultural challenge for better or worse, and this is what it is in many of its activities, whether voluntarily or, on occasion, involuntarily. Although it may sometimes be soothing, television is often provocative in the sense that it gives information and arouses interest. That being said, the new means of broadcasting and communicating throughout the world increases the complexity of television even further. An important question is what television is there to do and to say. In actual fact, however, the issue does not seem to have been put in this quay by all governments and their officials, nor by private television companies. Since the primary aim is to get an audience (and who would want to make television programs nobody looked at?), programs are becoming more and more standardized. The cultural challenge represented by television must not turn into a challenge to culture. At all events, television carries messages which influence, and will increasingly influence, trends in societies one way or another. Either television will contribute to enriching our culture or to enabling some of these cultures to dominate others. Undoubtedly there are outstanding events, such as broadcasts of major occasions, buts the out – of – the – ordinary nature of a cultural message soon becomes part of life, part of the every air breathed by those to whom the messages are sent. Living in a world of painting, literature and music is a very different thing from the stardom of a composer, writer of performer. While the heads of television channels sometimes display boldness, they do not seem to find it necessary to do so when it comes to music (with the occasional exception), because they themselves are not convinced of the emotional impact of music on television. And yet, in spite of all obstacles, music is a challenge through its daily presence. This represents a victory for whom? Pure music – that is to say, music soberly presented through the playing of the performers – goes down very well on the small screen. Its presence on television makes it part of everyday life. Let us be optimistic and hope that those in charge of television of whatever kind are aware of the importance of their function over and above audience surveys and ratings and that they will call primarily on the talents of cultural people and give them priority over the salesman.
