Deep in the Earth's crust, almost a mile beneath the ocean floor, a pool of superheated magma pushes against the surface layer of rock. At several thousand degrees Fahrenheit, the heat and pressure are awesome. The rock layer buckles, and a ridge on the ocean floor rises several meters before slamming downward and outward. The molten rock and superheated steam explode, and two huge rock plates, each thousands of miles wide, are pushed a few centimeters apart. A few centimeters doesn’t sound like much, but an entire continent has suddenly moved. The resulting earthquake sends an undersea shock wave across the ocean. Minutes later, thousands of miles away, that shock wave, called a tsunami, crashes into shore.The explanation for the forces that unleash killer tsunamis, massive earthquakes, and exploding volcanoes, lies in tectonic plates. These are the huge rock plates underneath the continents.
What can happen when tectonic plates move a few centimeters?
A. The atmosphere can become cooler.
B. Whole continents can move.
C. The ozone layer can thicken.
D. The moon can move closer to Earth.
Answer:
b) whole continents can move.

A teenage girl who sailed around the world unaided was greeted by thousands of cheering supporters on her return home to Sydney today after her seven-month voyage.
In her 30ft yacht, Ella's Pink Lady, Jessica Watson, 16, crossed the finish line of her round-the-world journey, which supporters claim makes her the youngest sailor to circle the globe solo, non-stop and unassisted.
"I'm completely overwhelmed. I just don't know what to think and what to say at the moment," Watson said in an interview broadcast live on a screen outside the Sydney Opera House. "It's all a bit much but absolutely amazing."
"She said she'd sail around the world, and she has," her mother, Julie, said as she watched her daughter cruise past the finish line from a nearby boat. "She's home."

The teenager's feat will not be considered an official world record because the World Speed Sailing Record Council discontinued its "youngest" category, which was held by another Australian, Jesse Martin, after he completed the journey in 1999 at the age of 18.
