Reading/12 points/ 15 minRead the text and choose the best answer. /6x2=12/How do you survive an earthquake?Whether or not you live in an earthquake zone, it’s best to be prepared …Earthquakes happen because of the movement of plates in the Earth’s outer layer (the ‘mantle’), which can break and split into new positions.

Get under a piece of heavy furniture (e.g. a table), or crouch in a corner formed by two inside walls with your arms over your head.Keep away from windows and any objects that might fall and injure you.If you are outside …Move as far away as possible from buildings, trees, streetlamps etc. Lie on the ground and cover your head.If you are in a car, stay in it but pull over away from buildings, bridges etc.After the earthquake it might be helpful to use a piece of cloth to breathe through, to filter the dust.
