<b>VI. Reading comprehension: </b>
<i>Since most of the Earth’s surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet’s </i>
<i>oceans. Underwater earthquakes cause the seafloor to move. This result is the displacement of water in the </i>
<i>ocean. When this occurs, a tsunami may form. This is a wave that forms on the surface and moves in all </i>
<i>directions from the place where the earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travel </i>
<i>thousands of kilometers. As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea. This causes </i>
<i>the tsunami to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A large tsunami – one more than ten </i>
<i>meters in height can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood the land, destroy human settlements, and </i>
<i>kill large numbers of people. </i>
