At a science museum in Christchurch, students watched a display about earthquakes. A model house was shaken on a moving platform, and the roof tiles slid off first. The guide explained that buildings with stronger frames and flexible materials often survive better during shaking. Students then looked at maps showing fault lines across New Zealand and discussed why scientists study movement in the Earth’s crust.

Which sentence best fits the end of the passage?

The museum cafeteria sold sandwiches and fruit after the display. New Zealand has many different kinds of rocks and minerals.
