True or False
Earthquakes: Ninety percent of earthquakes occur
around the Pacific Rim,which is known as the ‘Ring of
Fire’. In 1995, a huge earthquake struck the city of Kobe
in Japan.A large number of people were killed when
homes, office blocks and highways collapsed
Tidalwaves: tidalwaves are the result of an arubt shift in the
underwater movement of the Earth.In the 1960s, a huge
tidalwave hit Anchorage, Alaska. The tidalwave traveled
from Alaska to California!
Typhoons: When a tropical storm reaches 120 kilometers
per hours, it is called a hurrican in North and South
America, a cyclone in the Australia, a typhoon in
Asia.The word “typhoon” comes from Chines: tai means
“big” and feng means “wind”, so the word “typhoon”
means “big wind”
Volcanoes: We can usually predict when will a volcano
erupt. Mount Pinatubo, which is a vocalno in the
Philipines, erupted in 1991. It was the world’s largest
volcanic eruption in more than 50 years. Hundreds of
people died, but thousands were saved because scientists
had warned them about the eruption.
Tornadoes: Tornadoes are funnel-shaped storms which pass
overland below a thunderstorm. They suck up anything
that is in their path. In Italy in 1981, a tonado lifted a
baby, who was asleep in its baby carriage, into the air and
put it down safely 100 meters away.
