Answer 1

1 A hurricane is one of the names of cyclonic storm that forms over the oceans. It is caused by evaporated water that comes from the ocean. Typhoon is another name for it.

2 Hailstorms are rain drops that have formed together into ice.

3 Floods are the result of prolonged rainfall from a storm, rapid melting of

large amounts of snow, or rivers which rise up their levels of water.

4  An earthquake is a phenomenon that results from a sudden release of stored energy that radiates seismic waves. It shows itself by a shaking of

the ground.

5 An avalanche is a slide of a large snow (or rock) mass down a mountainside. It is one of the major dangers faced in the mountains in winter.​

Answer 2

Here are the matched natural hazards with their descriptions:

1. A typhoon - is one of the names of cyclonic storm that forms over the oceans. It is caused by evaporated water that comes from the ocean.

2. Hailstorms - are raindrops that have formed together into ice.

3. Floods - are the result of prolonged rainfall from a storm, rapid melting of large amounts of snow, or rivers which rise up their levels of water.

4. An earthquake - is a phenomenon that results from a sudden release of stored energy that radiates seismic waves. It shows itself by a shaking of the ground.

5. An avalanche - is a slide of a large snow (or rock) mass down a mountainside. It is one of the major dangers faced in the mountains in winter.
