Passage: What Causes Earthquakes

Natural earthquakes occur mostly from tectonic movements of the plates. Tectonic plates are large parts of the oceanic and continental lithosphere. The lithosphere is the solid outer section of Earth's crust. These sometimes shift into various positions both underwater and above. Such movements generally occur along fault lines. When two rocks slide against each other, they create fault lines. These fault lines can be both extremely narrow or miles wide. Fault lines are created mostly in mountainous regions where plate tectonic movements are more likely. Movement between the tectonic plates is rarely smooth. When the plates slide against each other, they create a tremendous amount of friction. This friction forms seismic energy that travels in waves through the surface of the Earth. This causes the earthquake. While normal energy travels above the surface of the Earth, seismic energy travels under the Earth's surface. This creates more tension between the land plates, causes more shifting, and creates more fault lines. The spot below the Earth's surface where the rocks break against each other is called the focus of the earthquake. The place exactly above the focus on the surface of the planet is called the epicenter of the earthquake.
Sometimes, earthquakes can also be man-made instead of natural. These can sometimes be caused due to explosions underground. Explosions big enough to cause a shift in the surface of the Earth are generally caused in mining tunnels or during nuclear testing. But the seismic energy formed due to these explosions is rarely very strong. Therefore, the strength of the earthquakes caused is not very high.

Explanation:

By higher education I suppose you mean college, and university. I do believe family's with lower income can not always afford to send there children to a college or a university. However, say that child earns a scholarship online or through the school. Say, though that that specific scholarship does not give full coverage. That person can get a job, part, or full time, and make some money that way, or perhaps ask their parents for a small allowance. A way that this can be prevented, however, is lowering the cost of going to a college or university. By doing this the money wont be as big of a problem for low income parents. Even if the low income parents still don't have enough money at this point maybe the government can create a program in helping low income family by supporting them and giving their child some financial aid.

In English language and writing, paragraphs are primarily used in breaking an essay’s main ideas into manageable but logical units. Therefore, each paragraph contained in an essay or writeups focuses on just an idea from the main idea and illustrates logical, coherent and succinct sentences to enhance the idea.

I. Some people are a lot luckier than others.

III. Linda, on the other hand, has never won a contest.

IV. Finally there's Jerry who wins some and loses some.

Explanation:

“Death of a Naturalist" is a poem which was written by Seamus Heaney. Seamus Heaney is an Irish Nobel-Prize winning poet.

Somewhere in lines 1-6, he writes:

"The rotting flax “swelter[s]” in the sun every day; it releases “Bubbles” that burble up from the depths of the swamp. And bluebottle flies constantly buzz around it.

In doing so, he is able to effectively utilize imagery to communicate the ambiance of the place being referred to in the poem.
