When you get to know sharks, one thing is certain—they are all unique . From Teeth to Tail With so many species of sharks, there is a lot of variety in what they look like . But many sharks share the same anatomy . All sharks are fish . This means that they use gills to breathe and fins to swim . Caudal fins, or tail fins, give sharks strength . As sharks move from side to side, their fins push them through the water . Most sharks have pointed fins and snouts . Blue sharks and great white sharks have this shape . It helps them cut through water and swim quickly . Some of these sharks can swim more than 40 miles (64 kilometers) per hour when they chase prey . Other species, such as the whale shark and the angel shark, have flat, round snouts . Sharks use this type of snout to bury themselves in the sand . Then, they hide as they wait for prey to swim by .

Name ____________________________________________ Date ___________________ Earthquakes By William B. Rice What Makes an Earthquake? What could possibly happen to make the earth change fast? One big factor is an earthquake. An earthquake is the movement of land caused by plates in the earth’s crust rubbing past, into, or against each other. When this happens, sometimes the plates get stuck. Pressure builds. When the plates can’t take the pressure anymore, they give way. The pressure must go somewhere. Earthquake! Earth’s outer layer, the crust, is not one solid, smooth piece. It is broken up into many large pieces. Each piece is called a plate. The plates are made of materials such as rocks and minerals. Some plates are larger than continents. Some plates are smaller, like a country. Either way, plates are huge. Earth is made of many layers. The crust is rigid and brittle. It sits on top of the mantle, which is more f uid. Earth’s plates f oat on top of the liquid rock beneath them. As the liquid mantle f ows, the plates f oat along as well. As they f oat, they rub against each other in different ways. No matter which way they meet, earthquakes will happen. The place where plates meet is called a boundary. There are three main types of boundaries. They are convergent (kuhn-VUHR-juhnt), divergent (di-VUHR-juhnt), and transform. The difference among them is the way in which the plates move in relation to each other. A convergent boundary is where two plates move toward each other. When they meet, one of the plates usually moves on top of the other. A divergent boundary is where two plates move away from each other. New crust is made as they move apart. A transform boundary is where two plates slide past each other. +−×= Reading divergent boundary convergent boundary transform boundary 125546—Let's Learn © | Teacher Created Materials 92 92 Directions: Work with a partner .
