How a Tsunami Occur

A tsunami is a sequence of waves that are caused by the displacement of a huge
amount of water, usually due to tectonic or volcanic activities. A tsunami begins as
tectonic activity shifts the earth’s tectonic plates. One plate usually descends under the
other nearby plate. The boundary between these plates is known as the subduction zone.
When there is a sudden movement of the plates in that zone, an earthquake occurs.
Before the occurrence of the earthquake, the top plate gets squeezed as it is
stuck to the subducting plate. The front edge of the plate is forcibly dragged down.
Meanwhile, the other edge of the plate bulges upward. This movement may take decades
or centuries. Consequently, it builds up stress on the tectonic plate.
Then the earthquake in the subduction zone occurs as the front edge of the top
plate breaks into the sea. As a consequence, it raises the sea floor as well as the water
above it. It causes the formation of a series of huge waves known as a tsunami. As the
bulge on the other edge begins to collapse, it diminishes and lowers the coastal areas.
Finally, the sequence of huge waves ripples across the sea towards the nearby
land. Within hours, their speed decreases and their height increases. The height of the
waves can reach up to 10 meters, depending on the tectonic activities.

The eye is the most important sensory organ of the human body. Four
fifths of all information from the outside world reaches the brain through the eye.
But how does this wonderful organ works?
Once light reaches the retina, the light-sensing cells (photoreceptor)
convert light into electrical impulses. Photoreceptor cells are either rods or
cones. Rods are concentrated along the outer perimeter of the retina; they help
us to see images in our peripheral vision and also to see in dark and dimly lit
environments. Cones are concentrated in the macula, the center of the retina,
allowing us to se fine visual detail in the center of our vision; they also allow us to
perceive color. Together, the photoreceptor covert light into electrical impulses
that are passed through the rest of the retina, through the optic nerve to the brain.
The visual centers in the brain interpret the information received from the retina,
enabling us to see.

8) What does the text mostly tell you about?

9) Where can we find cone cells?
10) “…they help us to see images in our peripheral vision…” (paragraph 2)
What does the underlined word refer to?
11) The word “convert” in paragraph 2 has the closest meaning to…
