I. Read carefully the short pasage below and try to answer the the following
questions in complete sentence.
GRAVITY
A force of attraction exists between every body in the universe. It has been
investigated by many scientists including Galileo and Newton. Normally it is
very small but when one of the bodies is a planet, like the earth, the force is
considerable. Everything on or near the surface of the earth is attracted by the
mass of the earth. We call this force of attraction gravity.
Because of gravity, bodies have weight. We can perceive weight only when a
body resist gravity. For example, when we pick up a stone, there are two
forces involved. One is the lifting force we exert and the other is the force of
gravity which attracts the stone downwards and thus gives it weight.
When a body escapes from the influence of the earth’s gravitational pull, it can
become weightless. For example, the centrifugal force of a spacecraft spinning in
orbit round the earth cancel the effect of gravity. The crew therefore experience
weightlessness. One of the minor disadvantages of weightlessness is that normal
pens will not write because the ink is not attracted by gravity to flow out of the pen.
If the space crew land on the surface of the moon, they experience much
weaker force of gravity exerted by the moon. On the moon they weigh less
than on the earth.
1 What is gravity ?
2 Explain what weight is?
3 When do bodies become weightless ?
4 Why do the space crew weigh less on the moon ?
5 Weight is the same as mass can you explain what is the difference between
them?
III. Answer the questions below basen on the reading pasage we have
discussed.
1. Make a definition what weathering is.
2. Related to earthquakes, what is focus?
3. Air has weight. How do you prove the fact that air has weight?
I. READING COMPREHENSION
EARTHQUAKES
Earthquakes are the result of movement within the earth. They in turn produce
effect at the surface that may be disastrous to man and his buildings. The most
general accepted theory of earthquakes (seismic) activity is the rupture of rock by
faulting.
Three main types of earthquake wave are known, although these wave types
generate many other kinds as they travel through the earth and interact with one
another and with the rock boundaries (discontinuities). P waves are compressing
wave that move through the earth’s interior from the point of origin. S waves are
shear wave that also go through the body of the earth from the point of origin.
L waves are surface waves that begin near the ground and travel just below it.
Tsunamis are so-called tidal waves, but they are due to earthquakes, usually
originating at the bottom of the ocean. They may travel more than 600 miles
an hour across the open sea, piling up when they reach a shallow shoreline.
II. Describe the stage of how to produce cement using this diagram. Use passive voice
when you come to the process.

3. Deeper rock may be exposed on the surface . When does this happen?
4. Why do continents stand higher than oceanic crust?
5. How is the conditionj of the inner core ?
