That may sound scary, but people dont feel many of the tremors because they happen in

11、 remote and unpopulated regions. Many quakes happen under the ocean, and others have a very small magnitude, or shaking intensity.A magnitude 5.8 earthquake that struck central Virginia the afternoon of August 23, 2011, was felt from central Georgia to southeastern Canada. In many urban areas, inclu

13、 the size of ground vibrations produced by earthquakes. Altogether, USGS researchers use seismometers to identify and locate about 20,000 earthquakes each year.Although earthquakes can happen anywhere in the world, really big quakes occur only in certain areas. The largest ones register a magnitude

Such big ones typically occur along the edges of Earths tectonic plates.Tectonic plates are huge pieces of Earths crust, sometimes many kilometers thick.

The Greek philosophers believed that light was made up of

21、 countless, tiny particles that enter the human eye and create what we call vision. However, Empedocles and a Dutch scientist named Christian Huygens believed that light was like a wave.

This theory was accepted during the 19th century.2 ln 1905, Albert Einstein published a research paper in which he explained what is referred to as the photoelectric effect. This theory explains that particles make up light. The pa

23、rticles Einstein was referring to are weightless bundles（束）of electromagnetic（电磁）energy called photons（光子）. Today, scientists agree that light has a dual（二重） nature it is part particle and part wave. It is a form of energy that allows us to see things around us.3 Things that give off light are known

24、 as sources of light. During the day, the primary source of light is the sun. Other sources of light include stars, flames, flashlights, street lamps and glowing gases in glass tube.4 When we draw the way light travels we always use straight lines. This is because normally light rays travel in a str

They are reflection, absorption, interference （干扰）, etc.5 Physicists have attempted to measure the speed of light since the early times. In 1849, Hippolyte Fizeau conducted an experiment by directing

26、 a beam of light to a mirror located kilometers away and placed a rotating cogwheel（旋转齿轮）between the beam and the mirror. From the rate of rotation of the wheel, number of wheels teeth and distance of the mirror, he was able to calculate that the speed of light is 313 million meters per second. In a
