Read the text below NATURAL DISASTERS Ninety per cent of earthquakes occur around the Pacific Rim which is known as the “Ring of Fire” in 1995, a huge earthquakes stuck the city of Kobe in Japan. A large number of people were killed when homes, office blocks and highways collapsed. The city of San Francisco was destroyed by an earthquake in 1906. fires that broke out as a result of earthquakes caused most of the damage. Within 10 years, however, the residents of San Francisco had rebuilt the city. When a tropical storm reaches 120 kilometers per hour, it is called a hurricane in North and South America, a cyclone in Australia, and a typhoon in Asia. The word “typhoon” comes from the Chinese; tai means “big” and feng means “wind”, so the word “typhoon” means “big wind” We can usually predict when a volcano will erupt. Mount Pinatubo, which is a volcano in the Philippines, 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. Tornadoes are funnel-shaped storms which pass overland below a thunderstorm. They can suck up anything that is in their path. In Italy in 1981, a tornado lifted a baby, who was asleep in its baby carriage, into the air and put it down safely 100 meters away. * T/F statements 1. __________ There was an earthquake in the city of San Francisco in 1906. 2. __________ We can not predict when a volcano will erupt. 3. __________ Hundreds of people died a volcano erupted in 1991 in the Philippines. 4. __________ A hurricane lifted a baby, who was asleep in its baby carriage, into the air and put it down safely 100 meters away. * Answer the questions 1.
