Matching headings to paragraphs

The title of a paragraph gives the main idea of that paragraph. Read the paragraph once to get the main idea. Then look for words related to the title. This will help you match the paragraph to its title.

2. Read the text and match the headings (A-E) to the paragraphs. There is an extra one you do not need to use.

A What caused the earthquake

B When and where it all happened

C Saving the people in need

D The damage the earthquake caused in other parts of the world

E The damage the earthquake caused in Alaska

1. Imagine you are just sitting down with a warm drink on a cold spring afternoon, when suddenly the ground starts to shake. It keeps shaking for about four and a half minutes. This is what happened to people in Alaska at 5:36 pm on 27th March 1964, when an earthquake struck. People now call it the Great Alaskan Earthquake, and it was the strongest earthquake in North American history.

2. The epicentre of the earthquake was in the south of the country, 20 km north of Prince William Sound, and 64 km west of Valdez. The earthquake was 9.2 on the Richter scale, making it not just the strongest earthquake in North America, but also one of the strongest in the world. It happened because magma pushed the Pacific and North American tectonic plates together. The Pacific plate moved under the North American plate and, suddenly, it slipped and caused a massive earthquake.

3. Nine people died in the earthquake, but the final number of deaths was 131. This is because the earthquake caused huge tsunamis, with waves as high as 60 metres! It also caused landslides, floods and fires, and these damaged a lot of buildings, bridges and roads.

4. The Great Alaskan Earthquake was so huge that it caused small waves in lakes in the UK, Africa and Australia. It was a terrible disaster for the USA and lots of people still remember it today.
