To complete this task, you need to unscramble the letters to form the correct words and then match them to the corresponding pictures. Here are the correct answers:
1. drought — a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to a shortage of water
2. earthquake — a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, caused by movements within the earth’s crust
3. avalanche — a mass of snow, ice, and rocks falling rapidly down a mountainside
4. hurricane — a tropical cyclone with winds of 74 miles per hour or more, accompanied by heavy rain and often causing widespread damage
5. flood — an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry
6. tsunami — a long high sea wave caused by an earthquake, submarine landslide, or other disturbance
7. tornado — a mobile, destructive vortex of violently rotating winds having the appearance of a funnel-shaped cloud and advancing beneath a large storm system
To match the words to the pictures, you need to identify which natural disaster is depicted in each image. For example, a picture of a swirling funnel-shaped cloud would correspond to the word «tornado.» Similarly, a picture of a large wave crashing onto a shore would correspond to the word «tsunami.» By using your knowledge of these natural disasters and the images provided, you can match each word to its corresponding picture.
