8、n Mediterranean is likely to produce anearthquake and tsunami every 800 years as powerful as the onethat destroyed Alexandria in AD 365.Using radiocarbon dating techniques, simulations and computer models, the researchers recreated the ancientdisaster in order to identify the responsi ble fault. We

9、are saying there is probably a repeat time of 800 years for thiskind of earthquake, said Ms Beth Shaw, an earthquake scientist at the University of Cambridge, who led the study. Scientists study past earthquakes in order to determine the future possibility of similar large shocks.Identifying the fau

10、lt for the AD 365 earthquake and tsunami is important for the tens of millions of people in the region, Ms. Shaw said. The fault close to the southwest coast of Crete last produced a big enough quake to generate a tsunami about 1300, which means the next powerful one couldcome in the next 100 years,

11、 she added in a telephone interview.Ms. Shaw and her colleagues calculate the likelyintervals by measuring the motion of either side of the fault to find how often such large earthquakes would have to occur to account for that level of motion, she said. Their computer model suggested an 8 magnitude

12、quake on the fault would produce a tsunami that floods the coastal regions of Alexandria and North Africa, the southern coast of Greece and Sicily all the way up the Adriati to Dubrovnik. This would be similar to the ancient quake in AD 365 that caused widespread destruction in much of Greece and un

17、; it is also a potentgreenhouse gas, and once released into the atmosphere1, itabsorbs heat radiating from Earth s surface. That s whymethane is a major contributor to the planet s increasingtemperature rise-or global warming. Molecule for molecule,methanes heat -trapping power in the atmosphere is

18、21 timesstronger than carbon dioxide2, the most abundant greenhousegas.With 13 billion cows belching almost constantly aroundthe world (100 million in the U. S. alone), it s no surprisethat methane released by livestock is one of the chief globalsources of the gas. Other prime methane sources ： petr

19、oleum, drilling, coal mining, solid-waste landfills and wet lands.Greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide make uponly a small part of Earth s atmo sphere, which is 78 percent nitrogen and nearly 21 percent oxygen. And without greenhouse gases to trap the sun s heat and warm the planet, life

20、 as we know it couldn t exist3. But in the last 200 years, human activity that requires burning oil, natural gas, and coal forenergy has magnified the greenhouse effect.Atmospheric concentrations of methane have more than doubled in the last two centuries. Blame for this often focuses on big industr

21、ies and gas-guzzling vehicles. But agriculture plays a major role, too. In the past 40 years alone, the global cattle population has doubled.Cows munch mostly grasses and hay-yet they grow big and hefty. Why? Because of the rumen. The rumen holds 160 liters of food and billions of microbes. These mi

22、croscopic bacteria and break down cellulose and fiber into digestible nutrients.A cow couldn t live without its microbes. As the microbes digest cellulose, they release methane. The process occurs in all animals with a rumen (cows, sheep, and goats, forexample), and it m ake them very gassy. It s pa

23、rt of their normal digestion process. When they chew their cud, they regurgitate some food to rechew it, and all this gas comes out. The average cow expels 600 liters of methane a day.That s why we say livestock gas is also a of causing the global warming.major factor23. Paragraph 1_24. Paragraph 2_

28、in. Different regions of the brain process the information your eyes send. Cells in your brain called neurons are responsible for this processing.The fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) brain scans could generally match electrical activity in the brainto the basic shape of a picture that so

29、meone was looking at.Like calls anywhere else in your body, active neurons use oxygen. Blood bring oxygen to the neurons, and the more active a neuron is, the more oxygen it will consume. The more active a region of the brain, the more active its neurons,and in turn, the more blood will travel to th

30、at region. And by using fMRI, scientists can visualize which parts of the brain receive more oxygen-rich blood-and therefore, which parts are working to process information.An fMRI machine is a device that scans the brain and measures changes in blood flow to the brain. The technology shows research
