Educational worksheet on natural disasters with matching, word assembly, and description exercises.

Here's the complete solution to your “Natural Disasters” worksheet, with clear explanations for each section.

## 1. Match the pictures and the words:

You need to match each image with the correct natural disaster from the numbered list.

Let’s go picture by picture (left to right, top to bottom):

Top Row:

- Picture 1 (cracked dry earth) → This shows land with no water, cracked soil → 6. Drought
- Picture 2 (snow-covered mountain slope with snow sliding down) → This is a snowslide → 9. Avalanche
- Picture 3 (ground split open in forest) → Earth has cracked open → 7. Earthquake
- Picture 4 (spinning funnel cloud touching ground) → Classic tornado shape → 8. Tornado

Middle Row:

- Picture 5 (house surrounded by water) → Water covering land → 2. Flood
- Picture 6 (forest on fire) → Trees burning → 4. Wildfire

Bottom Row:

- Picture 7 (giant wave crashing toward city) → Huge ocean wave → 3. Tsunami
- Picture 8 (thermometer with high temperature, sun blazing) → Very hot weather → 5. Heat wave
- Picture 9 (dark clouds with lightning over water) → Stormy weather with thunder/lightning → 1. Storm

✔ Final Matching Answers:

| Picture | Answer Number | Disaster Name |
|---------|---------------|----------------|
| Cracked earth | 6 | Drought |
| Snow avalanche | 9 | Avalanche |
| Earthquake crack | 7 | Earthquake |
| Tornado | 8 | Tornado |
| Flooded house | 2 | Flood |
| Wildfire | 4 | Wildfire |
| Tsunami | 3 | Tsunami |
| Heat wave | 5 | Heat wave |
| Storm (lightning) | 1 | Storm |

## 2. Put the pieces together:

You are given scrambled letters of natural disaster names. Rearrange them to form the correct word.

Let’s unscramble each line:

- na tsu mi → Rearranged: tsunami ✔
- he al anc av → Rearranged: avalanche ✔
- rri ne hu ca → Rearranged: hurricane ✔ *(Note: “Hurricane” is not in the original list, but it’s a common natural disaster and fits the letters.)*
- na tor do → Rearranged: tornado ✔
- ht ug dro → Rearranged: drought ✔

> 📝 *Note: “Hurricane” wasn’t in the original list, but since the letters spell it and it’s a valid natural disaster, we include it. The worksheet likely expects this.*

✔ Final Answers:

1. tsunami
2. avalanche
3. hurricane
4. tornado
5. drought

## 3. What are these things:

This section asks you to name the natural disaster based on its description.

a) A sudden strong shaking of the ground:
→ This is an earthquake.

b) A long time when there is not enough rain:
→ This is a drought.

c) Too much water in a place:
→ This is a flood.

d) A terrible snowstorm:
→ This is a blizzard. *(Note: While “blizzard” isn’t listed earlier, it’s the most accurate term for a terrible snowstorm. If you must choose from the original list, “avalanche” is related but not quite the same — avalanches are snow slides, not storms. However, since “blizzard” fits best and is commonly taught with natural disasters, we use it.)*

✔ Final Answers:

a) Earthquake
b) Drought
c) Flood
d) Blizzard
