ACTIVITY 2. Direction: Read the paragraph carefully. Then answer the questions
that follow.

The Earth we live in right now is not what the Earth looks like many, many years
ago. The Earth’s surface is constantly changing through slow processes that we do not
usually see. One of this process is erosion. This has worn away rocks and mountains over
millions of years, caused by air, water, and wind. Another change is caused by
earthquakes that originate deep inside the planet. More sudden and violent than erosion,
an earthquake results when strains between Earth’s plates produce shock waves. The
third process is volcanic eruption. Molten rock-forming material called lava, escapes onto
the surface through gaps in the crust, dries up and become part of the Earth’s surface.
