18-19. Real Word Connections: Mauritius is a small island off the coast of
Africa, near Madagascar. This island is thought to have formed nine million
years ago from cooling lava spewed by seamounts.

23-25. Real World Connections: The largest recorded tsunami was about 1,720
feet tall in Lituya Bay, Alaska on the night of July 9, 1958. It hit the
southwest shoreline of Gilbert Inlet and then swept over the land that
separated it from Lituya Bay. It was caused by a giant landslide from the
mountains. The tsunami uprooted and swept away millions of trees and
vegetation in its way.
23. Which other natural process is known to cause tsunamis?

32-33. Real World Connections: The Orda Cave is located in
Russia’s Perm Region at the border of Europe and Asia. It is
one of the world’s biggest caves. Exploring this cave is
difficult because the steps into the cave are slippery, the
water is extremely cold, the rocks inside the cave break off
easily, and it has inconsistent water currents.
