The Stolen Bike

Tom Burton enjoys cycling to work. Last month, however, he had a nasty surprise.
When he left work he discovered his bike was gone. He knew he had locked it to the
fence outside his office. This wasnt the first time it had happened, so he was always
careful. Thieves had already stolen three of his bikes. However, this fourth time was

er
worse: This bike was brand new. Tom had saved his wages for six months to buy it
and had collected it from the shop only two days before.

p
Pa
Tom called the police, but they told him it would take 72 hours to complete a crime
report. Tom was so furious that he wrote about the theft on Facebook. A friend
advised him to look for his bike on Gumtree.com, a website where people sell
second-hand items. He found nothing, but tried a similar site called

e
SellYourStuff.com. Again he saw nothing immediately, but after a few minutes of

pl
searching he found it. The bike had special blue wheels, which he recognised. The
picture wasnt clear but it was the right make and colour. The lights had been

m
removed but he was sure it was his bike.

Sa
Tom decided to call the seller himself. They arranged to meet in the station car park
that evening. It was dark and the man seemed nervous. Tom accused him of being a
thief. I want my bike back, he said. At first the thief refused to give the bike back,
but when Tom threatened to call the police, he admitted the crime, threw the bike
s
on the ground and ran away. Tom knows he is lucky to have his bike and hes even
n

more careful looking after it. Ive bought a much better, stronger lock, he says. It
was expensive, but Ive used it for three weeks and I still have my bike!

Parts of a volcano

Below the earth, under the volcano is the magma chamber. The magma (hot, liquid
rock) is inside the chamber. The magma flows out of the volcano and becomes lava.

The conduit is the long passage which goes from the magma chamber to the top of
the volcano.

er
The side of the volcano is called the flank. The hot magma pours down the flanks,

p
outside the volcano, from top to bottom.

Pa
When a volcano erupts, a crater is formed. The crater is the large hole at the top of
the volcano. It is sometimes called the mouth.

e
pl
There are other, smaller holes which come out on the sides of the volcano. Hot
magma rock also travels through these. Each one of these is called a side vent.

m
Sa
The throat of the volcano is the part of the conduit passage where it gets wider. It is
towards the top of the volcano below the crater.
n s
When a volcano erupts, rock and ash fly into the air. They can be small or large
pieces. This is called tephra. Small pieces of tephra can travel over 50 km!
io
at

A volcano is made of layers of rock and ash. A sill is a flat piece of rock inside the
volcano. This is made when magma comes through a side vent. It finds a crack in the
in

rock, where it stops and cools.
