Unit 9

Section

Earthquakes : Ninety percent of earthquakes occur around the Pacific Rim, which is known as the "Ring of the 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.
Tidal waves :Tidal waves are the result of an abrupt shift in the underwater movement of the Earth. In the 1960s, a huge tidal wave hit Anchorage,Alaska. The tidal wave traveled from Alaska to California!
Typhoons : When a tropical storm reaches 120 kilometers per hour, it is called a hurricane in North and South America, a cyclone in Australia, and a typhoon in Asia. The word "typhoon" comes from Chinese : tai means "big" and feng means "wind", so the word "typhoon" means " big wind".
Volcanoes : We can usually predict when a volcano will erupt. Mount Pinatubo, which is a volcano in the Philippines, 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 can suck up anything that is in their path. In Italy in 1981, a tornado lifted a baby, who was asleep in its baby carriage, into the air and put it down safely 100 meters away !
