Passage: What Causes Earthquakes

Natural earthquakes occur mostly from tectonic movements of the plates. Tectonic plates are large parts of the oceanic and continental lithosphere. The lithosphere is the solid outer section of Earth's crust. These sometimes shift into various positions both underwater and above. Such movements generally occur along fault lines. When two rocks slide against each other, they create fault lines. These fault lines can be both extremely narrow or miles wide. Fault lines are created mostly in mountainous regions where plate tectonic movements are more likely. Movement between the tectonic plates is rarely smooth. When the plates slide against each other, they create a tremendous amount of friction. This friction forms seismic energy that travels in waves through the surface of the Earth. This causes the earthquake. While normal energy travels above the surface of the Earth, seismic energy travels under the Earth's surface. This creates more tension between the land plates, causes more shifting, and creates more fault lines. The spot below the Earth's surface where the rocks break against each other is called the focus of the earthquake. The place exactly above the focus on the surface of the planet is called the epicenter of the earthquake.
Sometimes, earthquakes can also be man-made instead of natural. These can sometimes be caused due to explosions underground. Explosions big enough to cause a shift in the surface of the Earth are generally caused in mining tunnels or during nuclear testing. But the seismic energy formed due to these explosions is rarely very strong. Therefore, the strength of the earthquakes caused is not very high.

Show me figurative language in the following excerpt from The Tempest:
Act III SCENE II. Another part of the island.
Enter CALIBAN, STEPHANO, and TRINCULO
STEPHANO
Tell not me; when the butt is out, we will drink
water; not a drop before: therefore bear up, and
board 'em. Servant-monster, drink to me.
TRINCULO
Servant-monster! the folly of this island! They
say there's but five upon this isle: we are three
of them; if th' other two be brained like us, the
state totters.
STEPHANO
Drink, servant-monster, when I bid thee: thy eyes
are almost set in thy head.
TRINCULO
Where should they be set else? he were a brave
monster indeed, if they were set in his tail.
STEPHANO
My man-monster hath drown'd his tongue in sack:
for my part, the sea cannot drown me; I swam, ere I
could recover the shore, five and thirty leagues off
and on. By this light, thou shalt be my lieutenant,
monster, or my standard.
TRINCULO
Your lieutenant, if you list; he's no standard.
STEPHANO
We'll not run, Monsieur Monster.
TRINCULO
Nor go neither; but you'll lie like dogs and yet say
nothing neither.
STEPHANO
Moon-calf, speak once in thy life, if thou beest a
good moon-calf.
CALIBAN
How does thy honour? Let me lick thy shoe.
I'll not serve him; he's not valiant.
TRINCULO
Thou liest, most ignorant monster: I am in case to
justle a constable. Why, thou deboshed fish thou,
was there ever man a coward that hath drunk so much
sack as I to-day? Wilt thou tell a monstrous lie,
being but half a fish and half a monster?
CALIBAN
Lo, how he mocks me! wilt thou let him, my lord?
TRINCULO
'Lord' quoth he! That a monster should be such a natural!
CALIBAN
Lo, lo, again! bite him to death, I prithee.
STEPHANO
Trinculo, keep a good tongue in your head: if you
prove a mutineer,--the next tree! The poor monster's
my subject and he shall not suffer indignity.
CALIBAN
I thank my noble lord. Wilt thou be pleased to
hearken once again to the suit I made to thee?
STEPHANO
Marry, will I kneel and repeat it; I will stand,
and so shall Trinculo.
Enter ARIEL, invisible
CALIBAN
As I told thee before, I am subject to a tyrant, a
sorcerer, that by his cunning hath cheated me of the island.
ARIEL
Thou liest.
CALIBAN
Thou liest, thou jesting monkey, thou: I would my
valiant master would destroy thee! I do not lie.

In the table below, explain the irony of the narrator’s words in lines 82–91.

"Quickly, the dragon came at him, encouraged
As Beowulf fell back; its breath flared,
And he suffered, wrapped around in swirling
85 Flames—a king, before, but now
A beaten warrior. None of his comrades
Came to him, helped him, his brave and noble
Followers; they ran for their lives, fled
Deep in a wood. And only one of them
90 Remained, stood there, miserable, remembering,
As a good man must, what kinship should mean."
