Read and answer.A natural disaster is the name we give to something that happens because of natural forces and not because of the actions of people. Two of the worst natural disasters are earthquakes and tsunamis. They happen when land moves.The outside of the Earth is a solid rock layer called the crust. The crust has different parts which are called plates. The line where plates meet is called a plate boundary. Earthquakes and tsunamis often happen on or near the plate boundaries. 1. Read and answer.EarthquakesAn earthquake is a sudden movement of the Earth’s surface.The plates under the Earth are always moving slowly, but sometimes they stick and can’t move until they move suddenly. This can cause an earthquake. People use a seismometer to measure how strong the earthquake is. A seismometer uses the Richter Scale when it measures an earthquake. The Richter Scale is numbered 0–10. Very bad earthquakes have a high number. TsunamisA tsunami is a series of very big waves. Most tsunamis happen because of a big underwater earthquake. The earthquake must be over 6.75 on the Richter Scale. About nine out of every ten tsunamis happen in the Pacific Ocean. Tsunamis are different from normal waves because they move a lot more quickly and the distance between one wave and the next is bigger.1. Read and answer. 2. R
