Question

Read the following passage
and answer the questions (1-
5).
One of the most frightening and
destructive phenomena of nature is a
severe earthquake and its terrible after
effects. Earthquakes are the result of
forces deep within the earth's interior that
continuously affects the surface of the
earth. The energy from these forces is
stored in a variety of ways within the
rocks. When this energy is released
suddenly, an earthquake occurs. The area
of the fault where the sudden rupture
takes place is called the focus or hypo-
centre of the earthquake. The point on the
earth's surface directly above the focus is
called the epicentre of the earthquake.
The effect of an earthquake on the earth's
surface is called the intensity. The
intensity scale consists of a series of
responses such as the number of people
who woke up, movement of furniture,
damage to chimneys and finally total
destruction. The magnitude of 5.3 might
be a moderate earthquake, and a strong
earthquake might be rated with the
magnitude 6.3. An earthquake in a
densely populated area which results in
many deaths may have the same
magnitude but acts only as a shock in a
remote area that does nothing more than
frightening the wildlife​
