It describes an author’s experience in Las Vegas during a shaking morning, noting that the epicenter can be far away and still be felt. The text explains that plate friction shifts the surface and can create long cracks, then supports understanding through factual examples and multiple-choice questions.","5th Grade May 25-May 29  \nEarth Science-Earthquakes  \nby ReadWorks  \ntectonic plates  \nOne summer I was in Las Vegas with my family. Our hotel room was on one of the top floors of a high-rise building. There was a morning of that vacation I will never forget. We woke up around 6 A. M. The building was shaking and swaying back and forth like a pendulum. It was an earthquake.  \nLas Vegas is in the western state of Nevada, which is right next to California. The epicenter was actually in California, but we still felt it over 100 miles away.  \nEarthquakes occur when plates in the earth's crust rub together. This friction causes the surface to shift back and forth. It also makes huge cracks in the ground, sometimes miles long and several feet deep.  \nLuckily, that summer in Las Vegas, my family got out of the building safely. I was never so scared in all my life. Others in history have not been so fortunate.On Jan. 17, 1995, an earthquake struck in Kobe, Japan. It caused over 6,000 deaths. In 1906, a huge earthquake hit San Francisco, killing over 3,000 people and destroying over 25,000 buildings.  \nName:   Date:    \n1. According to the text, what happens to plates in the earth's crust when earthquakes occur?  \nA. The plates shake and sway.  \nB. The plates travel to Las Vegas.  \nC. The plates rub together.  \nD. The plates strike a place.  \n2. A problem in this text is being on a top floor of a high-rise building during an earthquake. What is the solution for this problem?  \nA. Plates in the earth's crust rub together.  \nB. Try to get out of the building safely.  \nC. Buildings can be destroyed, and people can die.  \nD. Study earthquakes in foreign countries.  \n3. Read these sentences from the text.  \nLas Vegas is in the western state of Nevada, which is right next to  \nCalifornia. The epicenter was actually in California, but we still  \nfelt it over 100 miles away.  \nBased on this information, what can you conclude about earthquakes?  \nA. People who are located 200 miles away from the epicenter of an earthquake won't feel it.  \nB. Usually you cannot feel an earthquake if you are in the same area where it started.  \nC. You may be able to still feel an earthquake even if you are not in the same area where it started.  \nD. Every earthquake you can feel in Nevada has an epicenter in California.  \n4. What can be inferred from this text?  \nA. Earthquakes are predictable.  \nB. Earthquakes are unpredictable.  \nC. It's safe to be in an earthquake.  \nD. People always die in earthquakes.  \n5. What is this text mostly about?  \nA. earthquakes and the author's experience with one  \nB. how scientists can predict the next earthquake  \nC. the difference between earthquakes in Japan and America  \nD. safety steps you can take during an earthquake  \n6. Read this sentence from the text.  \nEarthquakes occur when plates in the earth's crust rub together. As used in the sentence, what does the word \"occur\" most nearly mean?  \nA. stop  \nB. predict  \nC. finish  \nD. happen  \n7. Choose the answer that best completes the sentence.  \nThere isn't much warning when an earthquake might occur,   they are very scary and surprising.  \nA. such as  \n[B. so](B. so)  \nC. yet  \nD. but  \n8. According to the text, what causes an earthquake to happen?  \n9. Based on the text, why might being high up in a building be dangerous during an earthquake? Use evidence from the text to support your answer.  \nThe Koala Search  \nChris Jozefowicz  \nWR News heads down under to find out what scientists are doing to save Australia's koalas.  \nKoalas are pictured everywhere in Australia-on cleaning  \nproducts, on boxes of chocolate, on sports team jerseys. Yet the animals live only in pockets along the east coast.  \nThe marsupials once inhabited the entire coastline. (A marsupial is a mammal that typically carries its young in a pouch. )  \nThe koala population dropped after farmers cut down many of the forests where koalas lived and hunters killed the animals for their fur.  \nBy the early 1900","cbCaimVtczRVcntL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimVtczRVcntL","pdf",7837781,6,1,66,"English","en",105,"# Earth Science - Earthquakes\n## Tectonic plates and earthquake effects\n## Author experience and epicenter distance\n## Assessment questions","[{\"question\":\"What causes earthquakes according to the text?\",\"answer\":\"Earthquakes occur when plates in the earth’s crust rub together.
