Educational worksheet for matching extreme weather words to their corresponding illustrations.

Let me carefully examine the image to identify which weather word matches each picture.

First, I'll list the pictures and the words:

Pictures (left side, top to bottom):
1. Big waves crashing — looks like a powerful ocean storm
2. A swirling funnel cloud on the ground — classic tornado shape
3. A tree covered in snow/ice with wind blowing — suggests a severe winter storm

Pictures (right side, top to bottom):
4. A cloud with lightning — thunderstorm
5. A large rotating column of air over water (with trees nearby) — looks like a waterspout or tornado near land
6. Cracked dry ground with a person and cow — clearly drought

Words provided:
- hurricane
- thunder storm
- drought
- tornado
- blizzard
- typhoon

Now I need to match each picture to the correct word.

Picture 1: Huge ocean waves + stormy sky → This is either hurricane or typhoon. Both are tropical cyclones; the difference is location (hurricanes = Atlantic/E. Pacific, typhoons = W. Pacific). Since the image doesn’t specify location, but “hurricane” is more commonly taught first in US curricula, and the word list includes both, I need to see which picture fits *typhoon* better. But picture 5 shows a vortex over water near land — that could be a typhoon’s effect. However, picture 1 has massive surf and storm surge — very characteristic of a hurricane making landfall.

Wait — let’s look more closely at picture 5: It shows a large rotating column touching down near land (trees, person), with water nearby — that’s a tornado, not a typhoon. Typhoons are huge systems seen from above, not narrow funnels. So picture 5 is actually a tornado.

But picture 2 is also a tornado (classic funnel on ground). Hmm — maybe one is tornado, the other is something else.

Let me zoom in on each picture to be sure.
