Define: (i) Floods (ii) Earthquake (iii) Cyclone (iv) Tsunami
Answers
(1) Floods - An overflow of a large amount of water beyond its normal limits, especially over what is normally dry land.
(2) Earthquake - A sudden movement of the Earth's lithosphere (its crust and upper mantle). Earthquakes are caused by the release of built-up stress within rocks along geologic faults or by the movement of magma in volcanic areas. They are usually followed by aftershocks. See Note at fault.
(3) Cyclone - A system of winds rotating inwards to an area of low barometric pressure, with an anticlockwise (northern hemisphere) or clockwise (southern hemisphere) circulation a depression.
(4) Tsunami - A long, high sea wave caused by an earthquake or other disturbance. An arrival or occurrence of something in overwhelming quantities or amounts.
Hope it will help you!!!
