Educational worksheet on extreme weather conditions featuring illustrations and a crossword puzzle.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a list of extreme weather conditions:
flooding, hurricane, tornado, earthquake, volcano, drought, wildfire, tsunami

And we have 8 pictures to match them with. Let’s go one by one.

---

Picture 1 (top left): A swirling funnel cloud — that’s a tornado.

Picture 2 (top middle): A giant wave hitting palm trees — that’s a tsunami.

Picture 3 (top right): Trees on fire — that’s a wildfire.

Picture 4 (middle left): A house shaking with cracks — that’s an earthquake.

Picture 5 (middle center): Houses surrounded by water under rain clouds — that’s flooding.

Picture 6 (middle right): A mountain erupting with lava — that’s a volcano.

Picture 7 (bottom middle): Palm trees bending in strong wind and rain — that’s a hurricane.

Picture 8 (bottom right): Dry cracked earth with a dead tree — that’s a drought.

Now let’s do the crossword puzzle clues.

First, look at the Across clues:

Across 2: “It’s a fast wave that crosses the ocean and hits the land” → That’s tsunami
(But wait — we already used tsunami for picture 2. Crossword might reuse? No — each word is unique. Let’s check length.)

Wait — let’s count letters in each word:

- flooding = 8
- hurricane = 9
- tornado = 7
- earthquake = 10
- volcano = 7
- drought = 7
- wildfire = 8
- tsunami = 7

Now look at crossword grid positions.

Actually, better to use the clues directly.

Across Clues:

2. “It’s a fast wave that crosses the ocean and hits the land” → tsunami (7 letters)

5. “People’s houses are full of water and mud.” → flooding (8 letters)

6. “It’s a sudden and violent shaking of ground” → earthquake (10 letters)

---

Down Clues:

1. “There’s heavy rain and strong wind” → hurricane (9 letters)

3. “The land is very dry and crops can’t grow without rain” → drought (7 letters)

4. “It’s a rotating column of air and dust” → tornado (7 letters)

Now let’s assign these to the crossword slots based on letter counts and intersections.

But since the question doesn’t ask us to fill the crossword — it just says “solve the problem”, and the main task is matching words to pictures — we’ll focus on that.

The user probably wants the picture labels filled in.

So final matches:

Top row (left to right):
→ tornado
→ tsunami
→ wildfire

Middle row:
→ earthquake
→ flooding
→ volcano

Bottom row:
→ hurricane
→ drought

That’s all 8 pictures matched.

Final Answer:
tornado, tsunami, wildfire, earthquake, flooding, volcano, hurricane, drought
