Ex 7749:
Everyone in the world knows about earthquakes. Many people have even experienced an earthquake, but not many people understand what an earthquake actually is. This week, I have heard a lot of students talking about earthquakes, so I decided to write about them for my weekly column in the school newspaper.
Earthquakes can start miles below Earth's surface. All of the water and land on Earth rests on top of giant plates that fit together like puzzle pieces. These are called tectonic plates. These tectonic plates are always moving and are always pressing against each other. An earthquake usually occurs where two of the plates meet. The edges of the plates are rough,and sometimes they get caught while the rest of the plate continues to move. When this happens, the plates release a lot of energy created by gathered strain that causes an earthquake.

Earthquakes happen almost every day all over the world, but most of them cannot be felt because they are so small. However, some can be devastating, especially when they occur in the place where tectonic plates come together. They can create mountains and tsunamis or even make land disappear. Recently, Japan and New Zealand have experienced large earthquakes. Experts say more will happen in the future. It is important to learn as much about earthquakes as possible because they are very powerful and can change human life a great deal.

It should be noted that earthquakes can start miles below Earth's surface. All of the water and land on Earth rests on top of giant plates that fit together like puzzle pieces. These are called tectonic plates. These tectonic plates are always moving and are always pressing against each other.

Furthermore, an earthquake usually occurs where two of the plates meet. The edges of the plates are rough, and sometimes they get caught while the rest of the plate continues to move

Therefore, the inference is that the best title for the Passage will be understanding earthquake.
