HURRICANES AND TORNADOES

Two of the most dangerous storms which afflict America are hurricanes and tornadoes They are very much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destruction and cause millions of dollars worth of damage to life and property every year

Hurricanes which usually develop between July and October are similar to cyclones and originate over the water in the Caribbean Sea They move upwards hitting the mainland of America somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean Once they hit land they carry tremendous power with driving rain and wind These winds can attain speeds of over 75 mph And cover an area of over 500 miles in diameter At the center of the storm there is an "eye" with relatively fair weather and warm, dry air aloft The diameter of the eye is usually about 32 kilometers When the eye passes the relief is only temporary but soon the wind and rain will suddenly reappear from the opposite direction

Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and often lives are lost Most people who live near the coast are forced to evacuate their homes and to move to safer areas until the storm passes Floods are caused along the coasts by both the heavy rain and a storm tide that is considerably above normal water level The high winds, coastal flooding and torrential rains associated with a hurricane cause enormous damage

People living in the wake of a storm are given ample warning to protect their homes Flashlights or candles are be prepared in case of electric- power failures and plenty of fresh water should be saved as precautions against the pollution of water supplies by flooding

If one should travel inland across the Great Plains and the prairie states of America, one will most likely not encounter a hurricane, but there is another kind of storm in the Midwest which is equally feared It is called a tornado Tornadoes are violent low- pressured storms with an intense updraft near their center which is capable of lifting quite heavy objects from the ground A tornado, therefore, is a dark, funnel- shaped cloud containing violently rotating air It can pick up trees and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects such as homes and railway cars Like a vacuum cleaner across a rug, it sucks up into the air anything which may lie in its path These storms occur most often during the summer months and are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain The sky turns black as dust is sucked up into the air Tornadoes travel normally at around 60 kilometers per hour and the winds can reach 800 kilometers per hour in the most violent storms Tornadoes are most frequent in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains and especially in the central plains area of the Mississippi basin where about 150 occur each year Tornadoes may also strike the southern states in winter and have even been known to develop in the northeast

Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause million of dollars worth of damage each year Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they cannot be stopped or ignored When they come they must be endured with the hope that one survives their fury and wrath

Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10, the Apollo 11 astronauts made their historic landing on the surface of the Moon This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study; from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon, scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its

composition

The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil

In addition to the Moon soil, astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon: Basalt and breccia Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the Earth Since basalt is formed under extremely high temperatures, the presence of this type of rock is an indication that the temperature of the Moon was once extremely hot Breccia, the other kind of rock brought back by the astronauts, was formed during the impact of falling objects on the surface of the Moon This second type of rock consists of small pieces of rock compressed together by the force of impact Gases such as hydrogen and helium were found in some of the rocks, and scientists believe that these gases were carried to the Moon by the solar wind, the streams of gases that are constantly emitted by the Sun

46 The paragraph preceding the passage most likely discusses -. A the inception of the Apollo space program. B a different space trip.

C previous Moon landing. D astronaut training.

47 What is the subject of this passage?

A Soil on the Moon. B What the Moon is made of C Basalt and breccia D The Apollo astronauts. 48 According to the passage, what does Moon soil consist of?

A Hydrogen and helium B Tiny pieces of stones and glass

C Streams of gases D Large chunks of volcanic lava 49 The author's purpose in this passage is to

A explain some of the things learned from space flights B describe some rock and soil samples

C propose a new theory about the creation of the Moon D demonstrate the difference between basalt and breccia

50 Which of the following was NOT brought back to the Earth by the astronauts?

A Soil B Breccia C Plant life D Basalt

51 It is implied in the passage that scientists believe that the gases found in the Moon rocks A were not originally from the Moon B were created inside the rocks

C travelled from the Moon to the Sun D caused the Moon's temperature to rise 52 The word "emitted" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to

A sent out B set off C separated D vaporized

53 It can be inferred from the passage that -

A rock and soil samples were only some of a myriad of significant items from the Moon. B scientists not believe that it is necessary to return to the Moon.

C scientists learned relatively little from the Moon rock and soil samples.

D the only items of importance that astronauts brought back from the Moon were rock and soil samples. 54 According to the passage, breccia was formed

A when streams of gases hit the surface of the Moon B when objects struck the Moon
