As to (关于) the common belief that changes in the earths surface happen suddenly because of a single earthquake or flood，he said that this might happen once in a while，but u

19、sually these changes took place very slowly. He believed that the surface of the earth had been changing from the beginning of time. The changes，he said，were caused by the long-term action of the winds and seas，and by forces such as volcanoes breaking out under the earths surface. Once in a great wh

20、ile he thought，a mountain might appear for the first time after an earthquake. But usually mountains would rise slowly and steadily.

At the end of the school year，h

22、e went to North Wales with one of his teachers to examine the rock formations (构成) and to search for fossils (化石). Fossils are the remains of ancient living things.

23、y be of plants from tiny leaves to huge trees. When a living creature dies，it usually decays (腐烂)or is eaten by animals. However，if it sinks into a riverbed (河床) or is quickly covered by the blowing sands of a desert storm，the bones are kept up in the earth. Over many years the soft inner parts of a

24、 bone disappear，leaving the inside hollow (空的). Water containing mineral enters into the hollow. Slowly the mineral hardens and makes the bone hard and heavy，like stone. 41.

31、cientists are developing even better equipment. With this new equipment，men can stay below the surface for days or even weeks. In 1962 Cousteau set up a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then，in 1964，he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea.This was the first undersea station to operate without help from the surface.Many countries are now studying undersea living. The former Soviet Union has an undersea laboratory in the
