Answers
Answer:
1. The hypocenter is the point within the earth where an earthquake rupture starts. The epicenter is the point directly above it at the surface of the Earth. Also commonly termed the focus.
2. Tsunami generally come while earthquake arise in ocean and cyclone arise due to low pressure cause in the bay of ocean
3. flood arise due to very much heavy rain
and drought come when very less rain fall
Explanation:
1. The focus is the point within the earth where seismic waves originate; it is centered on the part of the fault that has the greatest movement. The epicenter is on the earth's surface directly above the focus.
2.Cyclones are characterized by inward spiraling winds that rotate about a zone of low pressure. tsunami : tsunami or tidal wave, also known as a seismic sea wave, is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake.
3.Flood the overflow of water bue to heavy rain fall.Draught a kind of place where from so many months there is humid climate
