What has caused the increase in the number of young athletes suffering from overuse injuries?

Young athletes are specializing in one sport.

Young athletes are not doing enough stretching.

Young athletes have a tendency to be more risky in their activities.

Young athletes have a high threshold for pain.

What advice do you think the author would give to a teenage athlete?

Be sure to rest and pay attention to any pain you feel.

Try your best to get a college athletic scholarship.

In order to improve, do more of your sport/activity of choice.

As long as the pain isn’t too bad, take Advil and see if it gets better.

Read the following sentence: “Instead of playing baseball in the spring and basketball in the fall, young athletes are specializing in one sport.” In this sentence the word specializing means

concentrating on one particular sport

picking a strategy for learning a sport

playing multiple sports in a year

The primary purpose of this passage is

to describe the causes and effects of overuse injuries in young athletes

to describe why more young athletes work hard to get college scholarships

to argue for why there should be changes to high school athletics programs

to point out that coaches don’t pay enough attention to their athletes’ injuries

Pressure, or decompression, enables the mantle rock to melt and form magma. Decompression melting often occurs at divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates separate. The rifting movement causes the buoyant magma below to rise and fill the space of lower pressure. The rock then cools into new crust. Decompression melting also occurs at mantle plumes, columns of hot rock that rise from Earth's high-pressure core to its lower-pressure crust. When located beneath the ocean, these plumes, also known as hot spots, push magma onto the seafloor. These volcanic mounds can grow into volcanic islands over millions of years of activity. Transfer of Heat Magma can also be created when hot, liquid rock intrudes into Earth's cold crust. As the liquid rock solidifies, it loses its heat to the surrounding crust. Much like hot fudge being poured over cold ice cream, this transfer of heat is able to melt the surrounding rock (the "ice cream") into magma. Transfer of heat often happens at convergent boundaries, where tectonic plates are crashing together. As the denser tectonic plate subducts, or sinks below, or the less-dense tectonic plate, hot rock from below can intrude into the cooler plate above. This process transfers heat and creates magma. Over millions of years, the magma in this subduction zone can create a series of active volcanoes known as a volcanic arc. Flux Melting Flux melting occurs when water or carbon dioxide are added to rock. These compounds cause the rock to melt at lower temperatures. This creates magma in places where it originally maintained a solid structure. Much like heat transfer, flux melting also occurs around subduction zones. In this case, water overlying the

Lesson 2: Plate Tectonics There are a few handfuls of major plates and dozens of smaller, or minor, plates. Six of the majors are named for the continents embedded within them, such as the North American, African, and Antarctic plates. Though smaller in size, the minors are no less important when it comes to shaping the Earth. The tiny Juan de Fuca plate is largely responsible for the volcanoes that dot the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The plates make up Earth's outer shell, called the lithosphere. (This includes the crust and uppermost part of the mantle.) Churning currents in the molten rocks below propel them along like a jumble of conveyor belts in disrepair. Most geologic activity stems from the interplay where the plates meet or divide. The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways in relation to each other. They move at a rate of one to two inches (three to five centimeters) per year. Convergent BoundariesWhere plates serving landmasses collide, the crust crumples and buckles into mountain ranges. India and Asia crashed about 55 million years ago, slowly giving rise to the Himalaya, the highest mountain system on Earth. As the mash-up continues, the mountains get higher. Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth, may be a tiny bit taller tomorrow than it is today. These convergent boundaries also occur where a plate of ocean dives, in a process called subduction, under a landmass. As the overlying plate lifts up, it also forms mountain ranges. In addition, the diving plate melts and is often spewed out in volcanic eruptions such as those that formed some of the mountains in the Andes of South America. At ocean-ocean convergences, one plate usually dives beneath the other, forming deep trenches like the Mariana Trench in the North Pacific Ocean, the deepest point on Earth. These types of collisions can also lead to underwater volcanoes that eventually build up into island arcs like Japan. Divergent Boundaries At divergent boundaries in the oceans, magma from deep in the Earth's mantle rises toward the surface and pushes apart two or more plates. Mountains and volcanoes rise along the seam. The process renews the ocean floor and widens the giant basins. A single mid-ocean ridge system connects the world's oceans, making the ridge the longest mountain range in the world. On land, giant troughs such as the Great Rift Valley in Africa form where plates are tugged apart. If the plates there continue to diverge, millions of years from now eastern Africa will split from the continent to form a new landmass. A mid-ocean ridge would then mark the boundary between the plates. Transform Boundaries The San Andreas Fault in California is an example of a transform boundary, where two plates grind past each other along what are called strike-slip faults. These boundaries don't produce spectacular features like mountains or oceans, but the halting motion often triggers large earthquakes, such as the 1906 one that devastated San Francisco.

Angels are spiritual beings. They do not have physical bodies. They are His servants; they obey God and do His will. Angels appear to people only when God has a purpose for them to be seen. People have entertained angels without being aware of it because the angels took on the appearance of ordinary men. They have appeared to people as bright and shining beings. In the Bible, angels have told people not to be afraid. Fallen angels, or demons, rebelled against God and followed Satan. As a result, they were cast out of heaven. The devil, or Satan, is one of these fallen angels. He is God's enemy. Satan was created as a beautiful angel, but his pride led to his downfall. God is infinitely more powerful than Satan, and God has set limits on Satan's temporary power on the earth. Satan tempts Christians to sin and causes some trouble in their life. However, Christians have various ways of overcoming temptation and staying true to the Lord despite the trouble. Being tempted to sin is not a sin; even Jesus was tempted but He never sinned. Christians are tempted by the devil, by their sinful nature, and by other people. Some of the ways that Christians can overcome temptation are by fleeing tempting situations, memorizing and applying Bible verses, exercising self-control, and keeping strong in their faith and their relationship with God.
