2023年中考英语首字母&任务型模拟(三) (一)任务型 Earth-shaking science How do earthquakes happen? Two strong earthquakes took place in Turkey and Syria on Feb 6. The US Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the biggest earthquake had a magnitude (震级）of 7.8. It was the strongest earthquake in that area in over 80 years. How did it happen? Earth's surface has many plates. These plates are always moving. When two plates move past each other, there is an earthquake. Earthquakes can happen from near Earth’s surface to about 700 kilometers deep. The shallower (浅的）the quake, the stronger it is. During the quake in Turkey and Syria, the depth was about 18 kilometers. This is very close to the surface. That's why it caused huge damage. There are about 20 active plates on Earth. They move and cause earthquakes. Most earthquakes happen on the plate boundaries. About 96 percent of Turkey's land lies on the plate boundaries. That's why the country has earthquakes very often. From 1900 to 2020, it had more than 10 earthquakes stronger than magnitude 7.0. Earth-shaking science ____1____ Two strong earthquakes ____2____ Turkey and Syria on Feb 6.
