Every year earthquakes are responsible for a large number of deaths and a vast amount of destruction in various parts of the world. Most of these damaging earthquakes occur either in a narrow belt which surrounds the Pacific Ocean or in a line which extends from Burma to the Alps in Europe. Some of the destruction is directly caused by the quake itself. An example of this is the collapse of buildings as a result of vibration. Other damage results from landslides, tsunamis, or major fires which are initiated by the quake.
There are about a million quakes a year. Fortunately, however, not all of them are destructive. The intensity of an earthquake is measured on the Richter Scale, which goes from 0 upward. The highest magnitude recorded to date is 8.9. Major damage generally occurs from quakes ranging upwards from 6.0. Exceptions to this are those whose epicenters are located far from inhabited areas.
The actual cause of the quake itself is the rupturing or breaking of rocks at or below the earth’s surface. This is produced by pressure which scientists believe may be due to a number of reasons, two of which are the expansion and contraction of the earth’s crust and continental drift.
What is the best topic for this passage?
The frequency of earthquakes
The destruction caused by earthquakes
The causes and effects of earthquakes
The originating factors for earthquake formation

Muhammad Yunus earned the nickname “banker to the poor” by giving tiny cash loans to the poorest of the poor in Bangladesh. That simple idea, however, has grown into an international movement. 12 He taught at Middle Tennessee State University before returning to Bangladesh in 1972 to teach economics at Chittagong University. 13 The amount was the equivalent of $27. Two years later, Yunus founded the Grameen Bank to make such loans on a wider scale, mostly to people with no collateral who would not be served by typical banks. 14 As it spread to other countries, it gave thousands of people the opportunity to pull themselves out of poverty. Yunus and Grameen were jointly given the Nobel Prize for Peace in 2006. 15
Peace can never be achieved unless people find ways to break out of poverty.
Yunus’s home town of Chittagong was part of India until the Partition of 1947.
Mr. Yunus was born in a developed country.
Yunus earned a Ph.D. in economics at Vanderbilt University in 1969.

Dr. M. Yunus lived in Chittagong until 1947.
There were many banks in Bangladesh willing to offer loans to the poor.
The notion became known as microcredit.
