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 abrupt 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.
