How did canyons this big get here?You know how muddy puddles (form on s:dewalks when it rains?That's the same way those huge canyons formed.It sounds impossible,but it's true. Erosion is when natural materials like rock or dirt are broken down and carried away.Water or wind usually does the breaking and carrying.Think of sand blowing in your eyes.The wind picks it up and transports it,or moves it from one place to another. Erosion usually takes a long time to be noticed.It's hard to see any difference even after a few years. Now imaginc it doing that every day for millions of ycars.That's a lot!What huppeas when all of that rock and soil has been croded (It can leave a canyon--sometimes 3.5 miles deep. But crosion doesn't only make amazing landforms.Sometimes erosion itself is what's dangerous Mass wasting erosion is not like normmai erosion.It is the quick downward movement of rocks,soil and vegetation.Deadly snowy avalanches (and powerful mudslides are types of mass wasting erosion. Sometimes it is the effects of erosion that are dangerous.Wind chipping away at a cliff (can make rocks tumble.If that cliff is next to a road,people need to put up nets to catch falling rocks.Wind and water can crode the soil on farins.That means there is less good soil to grow crops One thing geologists study is erosion.They can help predict when dangerous mass wasting erosion 弟3页 might happen.They can also teach us safer ways to build cities and smarter ways to farm.And when we study crosion,we lear to appreciae landforms like canyons a litile more. 28.How does the author develop Paragraph 1?

The Department of Energy's Altemative Fuels Data Center shows 55 public hydrogen fueling station locations in the U.S.today,almost only in California,while mote than 68,000 active public electne vehicle charging stations across the country. "Nothing is going to change next year,or probably not in the next five years.but there are brighter 共6页 pathways for hydrogen vehicles,"said Paltsev.It turns out tat hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles have advantageous applications in medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and aviation ()Besides. battery-electric vehicles can be problemauic when you have problenis with range or fueling time or heavy loads The current impractical application of hydrogen passeager vehicles in places like the U.S.are not a reason to"just give up"on hydrogen fuel-cell tech."We may need it for many otber reasons in the future." cautioned Paltsev.citing geopolitical issues as a factor that could disrupt access to raw materials for batteries,thus making hydrogen cars suddenly more economically workable 32.Why are hydrogen cars not commonly seen on U.S.roads today?

D.Unavailability of hydrogen fuc! 33.What is Sergey Paltsev's attitude towards hydrogea vehicles in the furure? A.Doubtful B.Hopeful. C.Disappointed. D.Indifferent. 34.What can be learned about hydrogen fuel-cell tech from the passuge?

D.It has unsatisfactory applications in beavy-duty trucks and aviaton 35.What would be the best title for this passage?
