There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to predict (预知)how, when, and where big storm
18、s will happen: The more exact scientists warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms. Predictions are improving. Weve gotten better over the years, especially the last few years, says Phil Klotzbach, a scientist at an American university. How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know
19、 where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction. For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right, Klotzbach says. First, the 0eean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air. As it rises, the vapor (水蒸气) cools a
20、nd turns back into liquid. This process gives off heat. This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase. It drives the formation of a hurricane. If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a tropical storm, and it gets a name. At 75 miles per hour, it becomes a hur

35、et alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question What is at the bottom of the oceans? had to cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineer had to know the depth profile (起伏形状) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured. It was to
36、Maury of the US Navy that the AtlanticTelegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information onthis matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings (测水深) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his find
37、ings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the sea. The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the Connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact
38、which defied (违抗) contemporary (同时代的) scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea. Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition (考察), which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their class

43、n the filed. Fieldwork includes traveling to rivers, oceans and lakes in order to collect information and specimens (样本). Reading, writing and speaking are also very important to the job. Fish scientists need to read the research of other scientists; They must be able to write up their own research
44、clearly so that other can follow it. They also need to be able to give lectures about their findings, so that they can spread knowledge. Ichthyologists who wish to specialize can choose any one of three areas of study. The first area is aquaculture (水产养殖). This involves the study and practice of fis
45、h farming and management. Because it is a rather new study, there are very few job opportunities available. However, as there is so much to discover, many see it as an exciting area for a new ichthyologist to enter. The second area is fisheries science, which means working with a team of scientists
46、to find out moreabout different fish species. The third area is about the protection of natural fish populations. This is very important today, given that many fish species are in danger of dying out because of the actions of humans. To become a successful fish scientist, you need to have a curious

61、t of the world, causing destruction and suffering. Villages are flattened and people are forced into camps. It is now happening in China, after the earthquake of magnitude（里氏）8 that was centered on Wenchuan but shook the entire country.Actually, in the past centuries, there were hundreds of thousand
62、s of earthquakes in different parts of the world. In Sept. 1923, Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it. They had to be completely rebuilt.

63、We measure an earthquakes strength on the Richter scale. The Richter scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA. It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.The earths crust (地壳) is made up of layers of rock called pl
64、ates. As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake. In cities such as Tokyo, where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the earth moves, they move with it.Earthquakes can also break up gas or oil pipes
65、. This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.Another effect of the earthquakes is tsunamis (海啸).
