56. (c) defending a revolutionary theory about the causes of earthquakes and methods of predicting them (Because the author tells about the causes of the earthquake and then elaborates on the method of predicting them)
57. (d) illustrate why the crust will fracture but the mantle will not (Because the author tells in the first para that "Earth’s crust cracks like porcelain" and the mantle becomes ductile due to high pressure like a putty and so it does not crack)
58.(a) The earthquake was a deep event (Because the S waves are slower than Pwaves and "the interval between their arrivals increases in proportion to the distance from the earthquake focus, or rupture point")
59. (c) Determining the distance from a thunderstorm by timing the interval between the flash of a lightning bolt and the thunder it produces (Because the lightening bolt can be compared to P wave and thunder which is slower can be compared to S waves)
60. (d) In both deep and shallow events the focus lies beneath the epicenter (Because the second para tells that "two kinds of earthquakes: the more common shallow events, in which the focus lay just under the epicenter, and deep events, with a focus several hundred kilometers down")
61. (d) I and III only (Because stress buildin up and consequent fracture is the cause of earthquake. II statement is also correct but not necessary)
62. (d) longer P-S intervals and lower peak intensity (Because the second para tells that with depth the time interval between P-S waves increases and the peak intensity decreases)
63. (a) Some researchers did not believe that deep events could actually occur (Because the first para tells that "That such deep events do occur has been accepted only since 1927")
64. (b) Deep events occur in places other than where crustal plates meet (Because the last para tells that "Wadati’s work suggested that deep events occur in areas (now called Wadati-Benioff zones) where one crustal plate is forced under another and descends into the mantle")
