Language features of Report text :

• Nouns and noun phrases are used rather than personal pronouns. The use of personal pronouns is limited.
• Most reports are written in the present tense.
• Some reports use technical or scientific terms.
• Linking verbs are used, eg. is, are, has, have, belong to, to give coherence.
• Uses some action verbs (climb, eat).
• Descriptive language is used that is factual rather than imaginative eg. color, shape, size, body parts, habits, behaviors, functions, uses.

Earthquakes are the vibrations caused by rocks breaking under stress. The underground surface along which the rock breaks and moves is called a fault plane.

The size or magnitude of earthquakes is determined by measuring the amplitude of the seismic waves recorded on a seismograph and the distance of the seismograph from the earthquake. These are put into a formula which converts them to a magnitude, which is a measure of the energy released by the earthquake. For every unit increase in magnitude, there is roughly a thirty-fold increase in the energy released.

A magnitude 8.6 earthquake releases energy equivalent to about 10.000 atomic bombs of the type developed in World War II. Fortunately, smaller earthquakes occur much more frequently than large ones and most cause little or no damage.

Earthquake magnitude was traditionally measured on the Richter scale. It is often now calculated from seismic moment, which is proportional to the fault area multiplied by the average displacement on the fault.

The focus of an earthquake is the point where it originated within the Earth. The earthquake epicentre is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus

• Prepare your fruits and vegetables by washing them thoroughly and peeling off those that need the skin removed.
• Your juicer features an extra wide chute and thus most fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots, beets, celery, and others will not need to be cut into smaller pieces since they fit in the chute.
• Make sure your juice extractor is properly assembled. Please follow the instructions.
• Ensure the juice extractor and its accessories are clean by following the cleaning and maintenance section of this manual.
• Place the jar or any other container/glass you may wish to use to collect the juice under the spout and make sure the pulp collector is in place prior to begin juicing. Do not allow the pulp collector container to overfill as this may cause the unit to stall.
• Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and turn the power on "I".
• Once the juicer is on, place the fruits and vegetables on the food chute and use the food pusher slowly to drive them down. In order to extract the maximum amount of juice, it is important to push the food pusher slowly.
• The juice extractor will separate the juice and the pulp in the jar and pulp collector while you are juicing.
