Use the paragraph to answer the question
You may not think earthquakes and volcanoes can go together, but they are unlikely friends, creating sensations under the earths surface. Most earthquakes occur because of the movement of the tectonic plates previously described. Sometimes earthquakes happen below a volcano. This happens because magma, which is hot molten rock beneath the earths surface, pushes on rock until it breaks the rock and seeps into it. Then, the magma builds more pressure until it leaks more magma into the crack. Little earthquakes happen each time the rock breaks and lets in more magma. These little earthquakes are to small to feel. They are called harmonic tremors, perhaps because of their constant release of energy, like one song played underground.

The platypus is an Australian mammal that is not
easily classified. It is one of only two mammals (the
other being the echidna) that bears young by laying
eggs. In some respects, the platypus resembles a
duck; both have webbed feet and bills. The platypus
has a tail like a beaver’s and a furry body similar to
an otter’s. Its unusual hybrid of body parts makes it
well-suited for its largely aquatic life. The platypus
uses its webbed feet to paddle through water, and its
tail serves as a kind of rudder for steering. While
underwater, the platypus uses its bill to scoop up bits
of food, such as insects and shellfish, from the
water’s bottom. The platypus also scoops up bits of
gravel, which grind up the food, as the platypus is
toothless. The platypus stores the food and gravel in
its cheeks until it reaches the water’s surface. Once
the platypus surfaces, it consumes its meal.

Platypusses are unusual creatures. They lay eggs and
have webbed feet and a bill, even though they are
mammals. They use their bill to scoop up food and stones
underwater and use the stones to grind up the food.
