The study of earthquakes is called seismology. Seismographs, instruments sensitive【11】ground movement, are used to chart each motion, and the Richter Scale is commonly used to grade each earthquake’s strength【12】a 1 to 10 scale. It is now known that earthquakes are created by sudden shifts that occur along faults deep in the earth’s crust.【13】to the Theory of Continental Drift, the earth’s crust consists【14】about twenty rigid sections,【15】plates that are in continuous【16】. This movement grinds and presses rock at the edge of the plates.【17】the pressure becomes too great, the rocks shift, and the resulting movement sends energy, or seismic waves, to the【18】of the earth. Most major earthquakes occur along the edge of the【19】, and the most damaging impact occurs at the first surface-point reached【20】the seismic waves.
