Passage 2
Events such as hurricanes,earthquakes,floods,volcanic eruptions,and tornadoes are all natural disasters.They are mostly related to the weather.Some are predictable—like a hurricane.Some,like an earthquake,surprise us.It is necessary for us to learn about them,so we can be prepared!
Flooding happens during heavy rains,when rivers overflow,when ocean waves come onshore,when snow melts too fast or when dams or banks break.Flooding is the most common of all natural disasters.
Hurricanes are severe tropical storms that form in the southern Atlantic Ocean,Caribbean Sea,Gulf of Mexico,and in the Pacific Ocean.Hurricanes gather heat and energy through contact with warm ocean waters.Evaporation from the sea water increases their power.
Hurricanes have winds at least 74 miles per hour.When they come onto land,the heavy rain,strong winds and heavy waves can damage buildings,trees and cars.
Tornadoes are nature’s most violent storms.Tornadoes must always be taken seriously.
Tornadoes can be very dangerous—sometimes even deadly.They come from powerful thunderstorms and appear as moving.Tornado winds can reach 300 miles per hour.They cause damage when they land the ground.They can damage an area one mile wide and 50 miles long.
