hours, it is called a hurrican in North and South America,

a cyclone in the Australia, a typhoon in Asia.The word

“typhoon” comes from Chines: tai means “big” and feng means “wind”, so the word “typhoon” means “big wind”

Mount Pinatubo, which is a vocalno in the Philipines, erupted in 1991 It was the world’s largest volcanic eruption in more than 50 years Hundreds of people died, but thousands were saved because scientists had warned

them about the eruption
