Answer these questions below based on the text given correctly.

Tsunami

Tsunami occurs when major fault under the ocean floor suddenly slips. The

displaced rock pushes water above it like a giant paddle, producing powerful water

waves at the ocean surface. The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the

earthquake source and move across the ocean until they reach the coastline, where

their height increases as they reach the continental shelf, the part of the earth crust that

slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor up to the land.

A tsunami washes ashore with often disastrous effects such as severe flooding,

loss of lives due to drowning and damage to property.

A tsunami is a very large sea wave that is generated by a disturbance along the ocean

floor. This disturbance can be an earthquake, a landslide, or a volcanic eruption. A

tsunami is undetectable far out in the ocean, but once it reaches shallow water, this fast

traveling wave grows very large.

Teks Eksplanasi 1:

Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new products.

In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the manufacturing process.

Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and office paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum foil. The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in a machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to remove smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper fibers and fl oats to the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood fibers to be made into paper again.

Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month. Every ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m ( about 50 cu ft ) of landfill space. One ton of recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees ( trees used to produce paper ).

C. Screen and filter the pulp to remove smaller contaminants

D. Put the pulp to a large vat to separate the ink from the paper fibres

the followings, EXCEPT....

A. Skim it off

-Exercise E : 

1. Give the generic structure of the text below by giving the name for every

paragraph in boxes given.

a. Biodiesel is a clean burning substitute for petroleum based diesel

fuel. Biodiesel is made of vegetable oil : General Statement

b. To make or manufacture Biodiesel, you must first start with raw

materials. The raw materials needed in the production of

Biodiesel are a small amount of methanol and a ready supply of

vegetable product. One of the most common vegetables used in

the production of Biodiesel is corn, although depending on the

geographic location of the manufacturing facility many other

plants are used as well (rapeseed, soybeans, flaxseed, etc.). The

first step is to use the raw vegetable product to make vegetable

oil. Vegetable oil by itself will not be what you need to power a

car, from here it has to be processed into Biodiesel. : Cequenced Explanation

c. The process for converting vegetable oil into Biodiesel is

sometimes called ester interchange. To complete this process the

vegetable oil has to be combined with a smaller amount of

methanol and then put in the presence of a small quantity of an

alkaline catalyst (for example, 5% to 1% sodium hydroxide).

Vegetable oil is made up of so-called triglycerides, which is a

compound of the trivalent alcohol glycerin with three fatty acids.

The goal of ester interchange is to separate the glycerin

molecule from the three fatty acids and replace it with three

methanol molecules : Cequenced Explanation

d. This process then yields roughly 90% Biodiesel and 10% of a

glycerin byproduct. The glycerin byproduct can be used in a

number of other chemical processes for different industries : Closing 

2. Write an explanation text telling about how rainbow is formed. Don’t forget

to make a draft and include passive voices in your text.

A rainbow is formed when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed by water droplets in the atmosphere. After rain, water droplets are left floating in the air. When sunlight enters these droplets, the light is bent (refracted), then reflected inside the droplet, and refracted again as it exits. During this process, the light is separated into different colors. As a result, a beautiful rainbow is seen in the sky.
