Task 1. Read the text and mark the statements TRUE or FALSE Natural disasters Natural disasters are powerful events caused by nature that can have devastating effects on people, animals, and the environment. These disasters often happen suddenly and can destroy homes, cities, and even entire regions. One of the most common types of natural disasters can destes, citirthquakes happen when there is a sudden movement in the Earth's crust. This movement can cause the ground to shake violently, damaging buildings, roads, and sometimes even leading to tsunamis. Another type of natural disaster is a hurricanes. Hurricanes are large storms that form over warm ocean waters. They bring strong winds, heavy rain, and can cause flooding and destruction. In some cases, hurricanes also cause storm surges, where the ocean rises and floods coastal areas. Floods are another dangerous natural disaster. They occur when there is too much rain or when rivers overflow. Floods can damage homes, wash away roads, and leave people stranded. In some regions, floods happen often during the rainy season. Volcanic eruptions» occur when magma from beneath the Earth's surface comes up through a volcano. The hot lava, ash, and gas that erupts can destroy everything in its path, including towns and forests. Volcanic ash can also pollute the air, making it difficult to breathe. Finally, wildfires are a natural disaster that occurs in dry areas. They start when dry vegetation catches fire, often due to lightning or human activity. Wildfires can spread quickly and are difficult to control, especially in forests and grasslands. While natural disasters are often unpredictable, people can prepare for them. Building stronger homes, creating evacuation plans, and paying attention to weather warnings can help reduce the damage and save lives. 1 Earthquakes happen because of movements in the Earth's crust. TRUE FALSE 2 Hurricanes form over cold ocean waters. TRUE FALSE 3 Floods only occur when rivers overflow, not because of heavy rain TRUE FALSE 4 Volcanic eruptions release magma, ash, and gas. TRUE FALSE 5 Wildfires are always caused by human activity. TRUE FALSE 6 Building stronger homes can help reduce the damage caused by TRUE FALSE natural disasters. Writing [6] Task 2.
