Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answers.
A tsunami is a natural disaster more devastating than earthquakes, tornadoes or any other disaster you can think of. Tsunami is a Japanese word that means harbor wave. A tsunami happens when huge waves are formed after something under the ocean occurs to make these large waves form. Erupting volcanoes can also cause tsunamis to occur. The waves start in one area but they move quickly in all different directions once the tsunami begins. Tsunamis begin as an under the water earthquake. The force of the earth moving causes the water to move and produce huge waves. Waves from tsunami cam travel through the water as fast as 500 miles per hour. As they approach the coast, they continue to grow in size before smashing down on the cities and towns along the coastline. These waves can often be as high as 100 feet, causing much destruction.
32. What is a tsunami?
a. A series of huge waves c. A sudden gust of wind b. A storm with strong winds d. A violent shaking of earth's surface
33. Which is the most diastrous, according to the passage?
a. Earthquake b. Tornado c. Tsunami d. hurricane
34. Which can cause a tsunami to occur?
a. Droughts b. Floods c. Hurricanes d. Volcanic eruptions
35. What happens to a tsunami as it approaches the coast?
a. It changes direction.
b. It decreases the height.
c. It grows in size.
d. It moves more quickly
36. What happens when a tsunami hits land?
a. It devastates coastal regions.
b. It causes underwater earthquake.
c. It blows everything out to sea.
d. It sucks up everything in its path.

Natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth; examples include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other geologic processes. A natural disaster can cause loss of life or property damage, and typically leaves some economic damage in its wake, the severity of which depends on the affected population’s resilience, or ability to recover and also on the infrastructure available. An adverse event will not rise to the level of a disaster if it occurs in an area without vulnerable population. In a vulnerable area, however, such as Nepal during the 2015 earthquake, an earthquake can have disastrous consequences and leave lasting damage, requiring years to repair.
Earthquakes
An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves. At the Earth’s surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by vibration, shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. Earthquakes are caused mostly by slippage within geological faults, but also by other events such as volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear tests. The underground point of origin of the earthquake is called the focus. The point directly above the focus on the surface is called the epicenter. Earthquakes by themselves rarely kill people or wildlife. It is usually the secondary events that they trigger, such as building collapse, fires, tsunamis (seismic sea waves) and volcanoes, which are actually die human disaster. Many of these could possibly be avoided by better construction, safety systems, early warning and planning.
What is a natural disaster?
--> Natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth.
What are consequences of the natural disaster?
--> A natural disaster can cause loss of life or property damage.
What kind of natural disaster mentioned above happened with Nepal in 2015?
--> Earthquake.
What is the reason of an earthquake?
--> An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves.
What is epicenter?
--> It is the point on the earth's surface vertically above the focus of an earthquake.
