12、e find plants? Do we find life in the Arctic and the Antarctica? Yes, we do. There is life in the oceans. There is life on land.Antarctica, as we have seen, is a cold place indeed. But this has not always been the case. Expedition scientists have discovered that Antarctica may have been much like ou

13、r own.Explores have discovered coal in Antarctica. This leads them to believe that Antarctica at one time was a land of swamps and forests.

17、 number of deaths and a vast amount of destruction in various parts of the world. Most of these damaging earthquakes occur either in a narrow belt which surrounds the Pacific Ocean or in a line which extends from Burma to the Alps in Europe. Some of the destruction is directly caused by the quake it

18、self. An example of this is the collapse of buildings as a result of the quake itself. Other damage results from landslides or major fires which are initiated by the quake.These are about a million quakes a year. Fortunately, however, not all of them are destructive. The intensity of an earthquake i

19、s measured on the Richter Scale, which goes from upward. The highest scale recorded to date is 8.9. Major damage generally occurs from quakes ranging upward from 6.0.The actual cause of the quake itself is the breaking of rocks at or below the earths surface. This is produced by pressure which scien

20、tists believe may be due to a number of reasons, two of which are the expansion and contraction of the earths crust and continental drift.In order to limit the damage and to prevent some of the suffering resulting from earthquakes, scientists are working on ways to enable accurate prediction. Specia

21、l instruments are used to help people record, for example, shaking of the earth. Scientists are trying to find methods that will enable them to indicate the exact time, location and size of an earthquake.Certain phenomena have been observed which are believed to be the signs of imminent earthquakes.

28、 and industry.In addition to stopping wasting our precious water, one useful step we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale.Today, in most large cities tanks, water is used only once and it eventually returns to the s

29、ea orruns into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to pipe water that has been used to a purifying (净化) plant. There it can be filtered (过滤) and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again just as it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its wate

30、r, we still would not have enough. Where could we turn next? To the oceans! All wed have to do to make use of the vast amount of sea-water isremove the salt.
