单选题Rocks which have solidified directly from molten materials are called igneous rocks. Igneous rocks are commonly referred to as Line primary rocks because they are the original (5) source of material found in sedimentaries and metamorphics. Igneous rocks compose the greater part of the earth's crust, but they are generally covered at the surface by a relatively thin layer of sedimentary or metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks (10) are distinguished by the following characteristics: (1) they contain no fossils; (2) they have no regu- lar arrangement of layers; and (3) they are nearly always made up of crystals. Sedimentary rocks are composed largely of (15) minute fragments derived from the disintegration of existing rocks and in some instances from the remains of animals. As sediments are transported, individual fragments are assorted according to size. Distinct layers of such sediments as gravels, (20) sand, and clay build up, as they are deposited by water and occasionally wind. These sediments vary in size with the material and the power of the eroding agent. Sedimentary materials are laid down in layers called strata. (25) When sediments harden into sedimentary rocks, the names applied to them change to indi- cate the change in physical state. Thus, small stones and gravel cemented together are known as conglomerates; cemented sand becomes sand- (30) stone; and hardened clay becomes shale. In addi- tion to these, other sedimentary rocks such as limestone frequently result from the deposition of dissolved material. The ingredient parts are nor- mally precipitated by organic substances, such as (35) shells of clams or hard skeletons of other marine life. Both igneous and sedimentary rocks may be changed by pressure, heat, solution, or cementing action. When individual grains from existing (40) rocks tend to deform and interlock, they are called metamorphic rocks. For example, granite, an igneous rock, may be metamorphosed into a gneiss or a schist. Limestone, a sedimentary rock, when subjected to heat and pressure may become (45) marble, a metamorphic rock. Shale under pressure becomes slate.

单选题The likelihood of America's exhausting her natural resources is growing less. All kinds of waste are being recycled, and new uses are constantly being found for almost everything. We are getting more use out of what we produce, and are manufacturing many new byproducts out of what we formerly threw away. It is, therefore, unnecessary for us to continue to ban logging in national parks, nature reserves, or areas inhabited by endangered species of animals.

Observations of the inundation and run-up period, where the tsunami strikes land.
