wouldn’t run, radio and television broadcasts would
stop. In other words, modern living could not go on.

work only of electricity is available. Electricity is

living.

Nowadays the government tries hard to
modernize the people, not only in the cities but also in
the countries. This is a good wisdom. If people in cities
or towns don't get food from people in the countries
they can't work well. On the other hand if people in the
countries don't get supply, equipments and services
from people in the cities they can't work well either.

One of the government attempts to modernize the
country people is by installing the power plants to
produce electricity to light country homes. By
introducing electricity in the countries, in the country
people can enjoy television broadcast relayed by

A volcano is mountain surrounding is the earth's
crust'. Steam, gases, lava2, ashes, etc. are forced out
almost continuously from an active volcano. A
dormant3 volcano is a little different. The steam gases
lava, ashes, etc. are forced out a long intervals. In an
extinct4 volcano, the opening or crater has long been
closed up with cold, solid lava, etc. There is no heat
left.

Volcanic eruptions cause disaster. Hot materials
that are thrown up destroy all life in their path. Hot
lava, when cooled off, turns into cold 'lahar', which
becomes dangerous when it rains. Eruptions are
accompanied by earthquakes, sometimes very
destructive as when Mount Agung erupted in 1963.

One may conclude that volcanoes only cause
disasters. This is not true, in fact, they are also a great
blessing. Volcanoes and mountains. In general, force
the clouds to rise. While rising they cool off and drop
the water they contain in the form of rain. The
materials thrown up by volcanoes contain minerals that
are needed by plants. After many years volcanic
materials will turn into good soil. Volcanic soil, being
very fertile because of the minerals it contains, is very
good farm land. The higher regions, being cool are
good for coffee, tea, and other plantations, requiring a
cool climate. The woods on the slopes protect the soil
against erosion, while the soil acts as a water reservoir
giving water to the river.



In eruptions, volcanoes may destroy life, but they
also make the land fertile.


Student Book III

1. crust = kerak

2. lava = lava

3. dormant =tidur belum aktif
