Educational worksheet for labeling and identifying natural disasters with visual examples.

Let’s solve this step by step.

First, look at the pictures and match them with the correct natural disaster names from the word bank:

Word bank:
flood – hurricane – earthquake – forest fire – avalanche – tornado – tsunami – volcanic eruption

---

Picture 1 (top left): Houses surrounded by water, cars floating → This is a flood

Picture 2 (top middle): Cracked road, broken buildings, fallen tree → This shows ground shaking → earthquake

Picture 3 (top right): Snow sliding down a mountain with arrows showing movement → That’s an avalanche

Picture 4 (middle left): Volcano erupting with smoke and lava → volcanic eruption

Picture 5 (middle center): Trees on fire in a forest → forest fire

Picture 6 (middle right): Big swirling storm cloud over land with rain → That’s a hurricane (or cyclone/typhoon — but here it matches “hurricane” from the list)

Wait — actually, let’s double-check. Picture 6 has dark clouds and rain, but no clear funnel. The next picture (bottom row) has a cartoon tornado. So maybe Picture 6 is meant to be... wait, no — looking again:

Actually, Picture 6 (middle right) shows heavy rain and wind bending trees — that could be part of a hurricane. But then Picture 7 (bottom left) is giant waves hitting shore — that’s a tsunami

And Picture 8 (bottom right) is a cartoon swirl with eyes — that’s clearly a tornado

So let’s reassign carefully:

Top row:
- Pic 1: flood
- Pic 2: earthquake
- Pic 3: avalanche

Middle row:
- Pic 4: volcanic eruption
- Pic 5: forest fire
- Pic 6: hurricane? Wait — actually, looking at standard images, Picture 6 (with dark clouds and rain over house) might be intended as “hurricane”, but sometimes hurricanes are shown with ocean scenes. However, since we have a tsunami later, and tornado separately, let’s go with:

Actually, let’s use definitions from Part 2 to help us label correctly.

But for now, based on common visuals:

✔ Top Left: Flood
✔ Top Middle: Earthquake
✔ Top Right: Avalanche
✔ Middle Left: Volcanic Eruption
✔ Middle Center: Forest Fire
✔ Middle Right: Hurricane (strong winds + rain)
✔ Bottom Left: Tsunami (giant wave)
✔ Bottom Right: Tornado (funnel cloud)

Now, Part 2: Match definitions to words.

1. “a large amount of snow that suddenly slides down a mountain.” → avalanche

2. “a violent storm with very strong winds which move in a circle.” → This describes a tornado (rotating column of air)

Wait — but definition #3 says: “a violent storm with very strong winds.” — that could be hurricane.

Let’s read all definitions carefully:

1. Snow sliding down mountain → avalanche

2. Violent storm with strong winds moving in a circle → tornado (because tornados rotate in a tight circle)

3. Violent storm with very strong winds → hurricane (broader storm system)

4. Uncontrolled fire in nature → forest fire

5. Large amount of water covering dry area → flood

6. Violent shaking of ground from within Earth → earthquake

7. Extremely large wave caused by earthquake → tsunami

8. Volcano throws out burning rocks/smoke → volcanic eruption

Perfect! Now we can confirm our picture labels too.

So final labeling for pictures:

Top row:
1. flood
2. earthquake
3. avalanche

Middle row:
4. volcanic eruption
5. forest fire
6. hurricane

Bottom row:
7. tsunami
8. tornado

And for Part 2:

1. avalanche
2. tornado
3. hurricane
4. forest fire
5. flood
6. earthquake
7. tsunami
8. volcanic eruption

All matched correctly!

Final Answer:

Part 1 – Label the pictures (left to right, top to bottom):

1. flood
2. earthquake
3. avalanche
4. volcanic eruption
5. forest fire
6. hurricane
7. tsunami
8. tornado

Part 2 – Write the words:

1. avalanche
2. tornado
3. hurricane
4. forest fire
5. flood
6. earthquake
7. tsunami
8. volcanic eruption
