Today, I want to discuss fossil fuels such as coat, oil and nature gas. The turn, (term) fossil fuel refers to trapped remain animals and plant in sedimentary
into rock. You see, the living plants trap energy from the sun by the process of photoshenphses (photosynthesis). And they stored energy in their chemical compounds. Most of the (that) energy is released, when the plants die and decay. However, sometimes organic matter is burned (buried) before it decayed completely. In this way, some of the solar energy becomes trapped into rock, hence the name fossil fuels. Although the amount of the organic maintain trapped in one growing season is small. The acommulated(accumulated) remains from millions of years are considerable. Because the accumulation rate is so slow millions of the time slower than they (the rate) at which we now dig up the organic matter and burn it up for energy. We must consider the fossil fuels as the non-reluable (nonrenewable) resources. Tomorrow, we will discuss alternatives to the fossil fuels that can be renewed.

Not long ago some of you may have read about the team of mountain clime scientist to who help to recalculate the elevation of the highest mountains in the world: nonever rest (Mt. Everest). Of course the elevation of mountain (Mt. Everest) was metered several years ago, using traditional surveying methods. But these scientists wanted to make a more precise measurement using a new method that takes advantage of recent advances in technology. It is called “global positioning system”.
The GPS are using (uses) the 24 satelites that circle the earth. Each of these satellites is constantly sending
out signals. And each signal contains the important information that can be used to determent the longtitude (longitude), latitude and elevation of any point on the earth‘s surface.
Well, in order to use the
(this) system to calculate mountain rest (Mt. Everest)
. Scientists needed to put the special receiver on its summit to receive signals from the satellites. The problem with these was that, in the past, the receivers were much too heavy for climbers to carry. But now these receivers have been reduced to about the size and weight of a handle telephone, so climbers were able to take a receiver to the top of Everest and, form there, to access the satellite system signals that would allow them to determine the precise elevation. And it turns out that the famous peak is actually a few feet higher than was previously thought.

Now you are reading the article about extremely (the tremendous) damage done to life and property by earthquakes. Let us (that’s why seismologists have been) working so hard to develop method of the earthquakes prediction. We can now predict earthquake very (fairly)
well but the prediction only be low rate in (only locate potential areas of) danger. They don’t predict the specific time and location at which an earthquake is likely to occur. Today I will introduce three prediction models that have been developed.
The first prediction model looks like along earthquake waves (fawlts), those cracks in the earth’s crust, to find what are known as seismic gaps. Seismic gaps are places where the fault has shown little or no seismic activity for a long time. This theory point out (postulates) that such places are due for a major shock.
The second model relies on phenomena like ground flit. Using long cylindrical tubes containing water, observers noted that ground title tended to occur before major earthquakes. That led them to correctly predict the big Haicheng (HI CHUNG) quake of 1975, the first successful earthquake prediction scientists have ever made. A million people were evacuated from that Chinese city before the earthquake struck. Unfortunately, this method has not worked cinsistently (consistently), so we can’t say it’s been perfected.
The third model is based on the theory that major earthquakes closely follow a series of minor ones. Starting with the measurements and timing of the smaller quakes, a complex formula calculates at the times of increasing (increased) probability of a much larger quake, right now , the (this) method , like the first method, cannot predict specific times and places, but that may change as it is further development.
For the moment, none of these models can predict with reasonable levels of confidence.
