Before the discovery of antibiotics,1 Europeans used to seek the mountain air as a remedy for tuberculosis - a deadly lung disease. Furthermore, before the age of airplanes and space flight, the summits of the world's great mountains were the highest places that humans could physically reach. High above the world of humans, the peaks of mountains were considered by many people to be the gateway between heaven and earth. In many places, the belief that mountains are sacred places fit for the gods still holds true. [B] One such place is Mount Kinabalu, located in the Malaysian state of Sabah on the island of Borneo. For locals and visitors alike, Mount Kinabalu is an impressive natural wonder, standing at 4,095 meters. This makes it the tallest mountain on Borneo as well as one of the tallest in the Southeast Asian region.[C] Estimated to be 15 million years old, the mountain plays a massive role in the daily lives of Sabah's indigenous2 groups. This is especially true for one local tribe, the Kadazan-Dusun. The people of this tribe have lived and farmed at the base of the great mountain for several centuries. Due to the plentiful natural resources in the surrounding areas, Mount Kinabalu has been considered a provider, whose gifts have served as the foundation for the locals' livelihoods. [D] Beyond these practical reasons, the mountain is also deeply respected for the fact that it is central to the religious beliefs of the Kadazan-Dusun. For locals, Mount Kinabalu stands as a monument created by two gods, Kinohiringan and Umusumundu, who erected the mountain once the job of creating the world was complete. Because Mount Kinabalu represents a connection between the sacred and human worlds, members of the Kadazan-Dusun community have traditionally been buried at the foot of the mountain after their death. According to local belief, after dying, the souls of the dead will engage in a long journey to the top of the mountain. This is aided by the funeral rituals performed by living relatives and friends. Upon reaching the peak, they will wait for the gods to make their decision about entrance into libabou - the Kadazan-Dusun equivalent of heaven. [E] Since the mountain is understood as part of the journey from human existence to the afterlife, appreciation for the mountain is directly connected to appreciation for the gods. For locals, any disrespect shown to the mountain could lead to trouble for members of the community. Indeed, after an earthquake violently shook the mountain and its surrounding areas, many locals blamed the natural disaster on a group of foreign tourists who had taken off their clothes on the top of the mountain. As a result of such deeply held beliefs, travel agencies and tour guides provide foreign mountain climbers with not only safety information, but also instructions on proper etiquette. Smoking, littering, shouting, and cursing3 are all prohibited on the mountain. When combined with the traditional practices of the locals, such care ensures that Mount Kinabalu remains one of the world's most special mountains. 1 Antibiotics are medicines that fight bacterial infections.2 Indigenous refers to people or things that are originally in a particular place.3 Cursing means using bad language.

Sаcred Summits Mexico's Threatening Mountain[F] Halfway across the globe from Fuji, Popocatepetl - one of the world's tallest and most dangerous active volcanoes - stands just 70 kilometers southeast of Mexico City. Although the volcano (whose name means "smoking mountain") has erupted many times over the centuries, scientists believe its last great eruption occurred around AD 820. In recent years, Popocatepetl is once again threatening the lives of the people near the mountain; in December 2000, almost 26,000 people were evacuated when El Popo - as Mexicans call the mountain - started to send out ash and smoke. As with all active volcanoes, the question is not if it will erupt again (an eruption is inevitable); the question is when it will happen.[G] "Every volcano works in a different way," explains Carlos Valdes Gonzalez, a scientist who monitors El Popo. "What we're trying to learn here are the symptoms signaling that El Popo will erupt." These include earthquakes, or any sign that the mountain's surface is changing or expanding. The hope is that scientists will be able to warn people in the surrounding areas so they have enough time to evacuate. A powerful eruption could displace over 20 million people - people whose lives can be saved if the warning is delivered early enough.[H] For many people living near El Popo - especially farmers - abandoning their land is unthinkable. As anyone who farms near a volcano knows, the world's richest soils are volcanic. They produce bananas and coffee in Central America, fine wines in California, and enormous amounts of rice in Indonesia.In paragraph H, what does They refer to?

Tornados, hurricanes, and volcanic eruptions are typically measured according to their intensity. Part of this measurement includes the amount of destruction that the incident can inflict on the natural setting, as well as on human life. Tornados, for example, are measured on what is known as the Fujita Scale. While the weakest tornados are classified as F0s, those that are the most powerful and destructive are classified as F5s.[B] Perhaps the most famous of these measurement scales, however, is the Richter Scale - the system for measuring the strengths of earthquakes. Most earthquakes that have been recorded in the modern era have fallen somewhere between 0 and 9. At the lower end of the scale, earthquakes that register between 2.5 and 5.4 can be felt on the Earth's surface, but only cause minor damage. Those below 2.5, while technology designed to monitor seismic activity can capture movement, cannot be felt at all. By contrast, at the higher end of the Richter Scale, seismic activity that registers above 8 are considered catastrophic - capable of causing massive damage at the epicenter of the earthquake.[C] Despite the usefulness of these scales, however, it is essential to keep in mind that the raw strength of a natural disaster does not directly correlate with the amount of death and destruction that it leaves in its wake.1 Rather, researchers have come to understand that high levels of preparation for such events can dramatically reduce the negative impact that they can have on a society. 1 If something happens in the wake of an event, it happens afterwards as a result of the event.2 A fault line is a location on the Earth's surface that is very likely to experience earthquakes.3 A seismologist is a scientist who studies earthquakes.In paragraph C, what does the phrase correlate with mean?
