Natural disasters in Japan

Lava

Tsunami

Coastline

Volcano

Earthquake

The force of an earthquake is meassured with the scale of ...............

Drag each concept to the correct spot:

Hurricane

Cyclone

Typhoon

Place these in the correct order:

1

2

3

4

Due to that the Earth is turning, the moist air also starts to spin.

Hurricanes start at the equator, because the ocean water has to be at least 26°C.

Water evaporates. The air above is cold, water forms clouds and heavy rainfall will form.

As long as the hurricane is above sea, it keeps on growing in size and force. When on land, the force gets less.
