Answer
Use the paragraph to answer the question.

The name of Rosa Parks is known to many Americans, but few are familiar with the saga of her Detroit home. Parks' refusal to give up her seat to a white passenger on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus in 1955 set a famous bus boycott into motion. Parks' actions and the boycott became a central event in the American civil rights movement. Parks fled to Detroit two years later, facing death threats and unemployment. There, she shared a home, owned by her brother, with 17 other family members.

Answer
Our earth’s surface is covered with large swaths of land called tectonic plates. These plates shift slowly and create all kinds of land structures on the surface of the earth, including under the ocean. Just as a puzzle fits together with many pieces, so does the earth’s crust, or outer surface.

Sometimes plates slide past each other, and the edges rub together, causing friction. This place is called a fault. Below the fault, an earthquake starts and releases energy through the earth’s surface. The result is a rumbling, shaking sensation we know as earthquakes. Earthquakes are the salt and pepper shakers for our planet!
