Questão 1
Questão
Why did geologist Edmund Hovey travel to the Caribbean in May 1902?
Responda
-
to investigate recent volcanic eruptions on the islands of St. Vincent and Martinique
-
to investigate the historic volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius
-
to try and predict when the next eruption of Mt. Pelée would occur
-
to try and help any survivors of the volcanic eruptions of Mt. Pelée and Mt. Soufrière
Questão 2
Questão
Towards the end of the article, the author draws comparisons between the risks of which two volcanoes?
Responda
-
Mount St. Helens and Mount Vesuvius
-
Mt. Pelée and Mt. Soufrière
-
Mt. Pelée and Mount Vesuvius
-
Mt. Soufrière and Mount St. Helens
Questão 3
Questão
Mt. Pelee and Vesuvius both had nuée ardente eruptions, the most explosive and deadly type of volcanic eruption. In this type of eruption, a cloud of hot ash and gas blows out of the volcano, then rushes very quickly down the volcano’s side. What conclusion can be drawn from this evidence?
Responda
-
People living near Mt. Pelée and Vesuvius should have known that these volcanoes were active and likely to erupt.
-
The nuée ardente type of volcanic eruption is less dangerous to humans than other types of volcanic eruptions.
-
The nuée ardente type of volcanic eruption is incredibly dangerous to humans living near a volcano.
-
The areas surrounding Mt. Pelée and Vesuvius are unlikely to be damaged by future nuée ardente eruptions.
Questão 4
Questão
Based on the text, why might predicting volcanic eruptions be an important goal of scientists studying volcanoes?
Responda
-
because knowing when volcanoes might erupt will allow scientists to help warn people to leave the area in time to save their lives
-
because knowing when volcanoes might erupt will allow scientists to gain more information about how volcanoes work
-
because knowing when volcanoes might erupt will allow scientists to better understand past eruptions
-
because knowing when volcanoes might erupt will allow scientists to collect helpful samples for museums
Questão 5
Questão
What is a main idea of this article?
Responda
-
The eruption of Mt. Pelée in 1902 was similar to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, and should have been better predicted.
-
The eruption of Mt. Pelée in 1902 caused massive destruction and death, partly because people at the time did not know much about volcanoes.
-
It can be very exciting to live near an active volcano, which is why people currently live near volcanoes that may erupt in the near future.
-
A geologist went to study volcanic eruptions in the Caribbean in 1902 to see how they compared to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
