Test: Natural Disasters - 2 - Grade 2 MCQ

A tsunami is shown in the image above.

A wildfire is shown in the image above.

The natural disaster shown in the image is a landslide.

A landslide occurs when a large mass of earth, rock, or debris moves down a slope due to gravity. It is often triggered by factors such as heavy rainfall, earthquakes, volcanic activity, or human activities that destabilize the slope.

Here's a brief explanation of why the other options are incorrect:

• Hurricane: A hurricane is a large tropical storm with strong winds and heavy rain, typically occurring over oceans, and it does not involve the movement of earth or rocks down a slope.
• Avalanche: An avalanche involves a rapid flow of snow down a mountain or slope, not soil or rock as seen in the image.
• Earthquake: An earthquake is the shaking of the ground caused by tectonic movements, but it is not the direct movement of soil or rock down a slope as depicted.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C: landslide.

The center of a hurricane is called the eye.

During a hurricane as the warm and cold air mix, the water in the air forms clouds.
