Question : Comprehension:
An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. The surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane. The location below the earth's surface where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter and the location directly above it on the surface of the earth is called the epicentre.
Sometimes an earthquake has foreshocks. These are smaller earthquakes that happen in the same place as the larger earthquake that follows. Scientists can’t tell that an earthquake is a foreshock until a larger earthquake happens. The largest main earthquake is called the mainshock. Mainshocks always have aftershocks that follow. These are smaller earthquakes that occur afterwards in the same place as the main shock. Depending on the size of the mainshock, aftershocks can continue for weeks, months, and even years after the mainshock!
The Earth has four major layers: the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. The crust and the top of the mantle make up a thin skin on the surface of our planet.
But this skin is not all in one piece; it is made up of many pieces, like a puzzle covering the surface of the earth. Not only that, but these puzzle pieces keep slowly moving around, sliding past one another, and bumping into each other. We call these puzzle pieces tectonic plates, and the edges of the plates are called plate boundaries. The plate boundaries are made up of many faults, and most of the earthquakes around the world occur on these faults. Since the edges of the plates are rough, they get stuck while the rest of the plate keeps moving. Finally, when the plate has moved far enough, the edges unstick on one of the faults, and there is an earthquake.
Question:
What is the suitable title of the passage?
Option 1: All about earthquakes
Option 2: Fault plates
Option 3: Layers of earth
Option 4: Mainshock and aftershocks
Correct Answer: All about earthquakes
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
"All about earthquakes" can be a suitable passage for this passage, as the passage talks about the fundamental aspects of earthquakes and the structures of the Earth's layers. The other options do not encompass the whole
