Task 2 Find the definitions of the Natural Disasters

1-group Earthquake

‘Floods’ It occurs when a large amount of water covers the land. Too much rain usually causes it. It also happens when the water level in a river becomes too high.

A ‘Drought’ Is a period of dry weather, especially a long one that is injurious to crops.

A ‘Hurricane’ (Atlantic Ocean), ‘typhoon’ (Pacific Ocean) or ‘tropical storm’ (Indian Ocean) is an intense thunderstorm which usually occurs in late summer. They result in strong winds and heavy rain.

2-group Tsunami

‘Volcanic eruptions’ send red hot lava flowing. Lava is a type of liquid rock called magma.

‘Earthquakes’ occur when pressure is suddenly released which causes the ground to move and shake violently. If the earth quakes beneath water then the shock wave which reaches beaches and dry land causes huge waves travelling at high speed called ‘tsunamis’.

A ‘Landslide’ happens when rocks and earth are water-laden from lots of rain and slide down.
