Explanation:
We are given a worksheet about weather hazards and need to fill in the
Effect and
More Effects for each cause. Let’s go one by one, using basic science knowledge appropriate for Grade 3.
1.
Drought
- *Cause*: Lack of rain over a long time.
- *Effect* (direct result): Plants dry up / crops die / soil cracks.
- *More Effects*: Animals get thirsty and may die; people run out of water for drinking or farming; wildfires can start more easily.
2.
Tornado
- *Cause*: A spinning column of air from a storm.
- *Effect*: Buildings and trees are knocked down.
- *More Effects*: People can be hurt or lose homes; power lines break; roads get blocked.
3.
Blizzard
- *Cause*: Strong wind + heavy snow + cold.
- *Effect*: Visibility drops (hard to see); roads become icy and dangerous.
- *More Effects*: Cars get stuck; schools and businesses close; people can get lost or freeze if outside too long.
4.
Hurricane
- *Cause*: Big tropical storm with strong winds and rain over ocean.
- *Effect*: Heavy rain and high winds damage houses and trees.
- *More Effects*: Storm surge floods coasts; power outages; people must evacuate; long recovery time.
5.
Heat wave
- *Cause*: Very hot weather for many days in a row.
- *Effect*: People feel overheated; it’s hard to stay cool.
- *More Effects*: Heat exhaustion or heat stroke; air conditioners overload; crops dry up; wildfires spread faster.
Now, we write concise answers suitable for a Grade 3 worksheet — short phrases, not full sentences.
Let’s fill in each row:
-
Drought
Effect: Plants die and soil dries up
More Effects: Animals and people lack water; fires start easily
-
Tornado
Effect: Houses and trees are destroyed
More Effects: People get hurt; power is lost; roads blocked
-
Blizzard
Effect: Snow covers roads and blocks travel
More Effects: Schools close; people get stuck; danger of freezing
-
Hurricane
Effect: Strong winds knock down trees and buildings
More Effects: Flooding from rain and storm surge; evacuations needed
-
Heat wave
Effect: It gets dangerously hot for people and animals
More Effects: Health problems like heat sickness; crops fail
These match the example format (short, clear, cause → effect → more effects), and use vocabulary a third grader can understand.
Final Answer:
Drought:
Effect: Plants die and soil dries up
More Effects: Animals and people lack water; fires start easily
Tornado:
Effect: Houses and trees are destroyed
More Effects: People get hurt; power is lost; roads blocked
Blizzard:
Effect: Snow covers roads and blocks travel
More Effects: Schools close; people get stuck; danger of freezing
Hurricane:
Effect: Strong winds knock down trees and buildings
More Effects: Flooding from rain and storm surge; evacuations needed
Heat wave:
Effect: It gets dangerously hot for people and animals
More Effects: Health problems like heat sickness; crops fail
