Ana has a pink, Hello Kitty pencil case. b. Ana has a pink Hello Kitty pencil case. c. Both a and b d. Leave as is e. I have not learned this yet. Read the two articles below about earthquakes, then answer the questions in the following pages. Article 1 Earthquakes are the shaking, rolling, or sudden shock of the earth s surface. Earthquakes happen along fault lines in the earth s crust. Earthquakes can be felt over large areas although they usually last less than one minute. Earthquakes cannot be predicted although scientists are working on it! 3
5 Most of the time, you will notice an earthquake by the gentle shaking of the ground. You may notice hanging plants swaying or objects wobbling on shelves. Sometimes you may hear a low rumbling noise or feel a sharp jolt. A survivor of the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco said the sensation was like riding a bicycle down a long flight of stairs. The intensity of an earthquake can be measured. One measurement is called the Richter scale. Earthquakes below 4.0 on the Richter scale usually do not cause damage, and earthquakes below 2.0 usually can t be felt. Earthquakes over 5.0 on the scale can cause damage. A magnitude of 6.0 earthquake is considered strong and a magnitude of 7.0 is a major earthquake. The Northridge Earthquake, which hit southern California in 1994, was a magnitude of 6.7. Earthquakes are sometimes called temblors, quakes, shakers or seismic activity. The most important thing to remember during an earthquake is to DROP and COVER. Drop and cover means DROP to the floor and get under something for COVER! Article 2 Scientists learn about our changing Earth by studying earthquakes. Earthquakes are movements or vibrations in Earth. They are caused by the release of stored energy in Earth s outer layer. This release of energy causes sudden shifts of rock as well as other kinds of changes. Scientists feel and listen to Earth by using special instruments called seismographs (SIGH muh grafs). A seismograph detects, measures, and records the energy of earthquake vibrations. Pressure within Earth can cause rocks in the outer layer of Earth to break. If the rocks found along a break move, the break is called a fault. When an earthquake begins, pressure from within the Earth causes rocks along faults to move and break. As they move and break, energy is released as vibrations. These vibrations are called seismic waves (SIGHZ mik WAYVZ), or earthquake waves. Seismic waves travel out from the focus in all directions. As seismic waves move through Earth and along its surface, they are felt as shakings and vibrations. The farther the waves travel away from the focus, the weaker they become. 4
6 Scientists use instruments to predict when an earthquake might occur. A gravity meter tells about the rise and fall of the land surface. A strain meter measures how much rocks expand and contract. A tilt meter measures changes in the tilt of the Earth s surface. This information helps scientists warn people of a possible earthquake. Read this passage from Article 1: The most important thing to remember during an earthquake is to DROP and COVER. Drop and cover means DROP to the floor and get under something for COVER! 8) Why are the words drop and cover capitalized? Choose the best answer below. a. To emphasize the importance of the words. b. To emphasize the importance of the act of dropping and covering during an earthquake. c. To signal the transition between the first and the second sentence. d. All of the above e. I don t have an answer to this question Read this sentence from Article 2: Scientists feel and listen to Earth by using special instruments called seismographs. 9) Why are there quotation marks around the word, feel, and the phrase, listen to? Choose the best answer. a. To convey the fact that scientist cannot literally feel nor listen to Earth. b. To convey the fact that scientist can only feel and listen to the Earth through seismographs. c. both a and b d. none of the above e. I don t have an answer to this question 5
7 10) In what ways are the articles similar? Choose the best answer below. a. Both are about earthquakes. b. Both are informational texts. c. Both give a definition of earthquake. d. All of the above e. I don t have an answer to this question 11) In what ways are the articles different? Choose the best answer below. a. Article 1 gives more general information about earthquakes, while article 2 talks more specifically about how scientist learn about earthquakes. b. Article 2 talks about seismic waves, while article 1 talks about it briefly. c. Article 2 discusses the Richter scale and how scientists use this to measure earthquakes, while article 1 does not talk about the Richter scale. d. Both a and b. e. I don t have an answer to this question 6
8 Testing Notes (For Tutor Only): The assessment is now finished. Please check the boxes below if any of the following occurred during the exam. If anything else occurred, please use the space provided to write down additional notes. I had to read the questions to my student because he/she could not read them independently. My student was distracted during the exam, and I had to help him/her refocus. 7
