Sagot :

Answer:

1. A typhoon is a giant, rotating storm that brings wind, rain, and destruction.

2. A tsunami is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake.

3. A volcanic eruption is when lava and gas are released from a volcano—sometimes explosively.

4. The Ring of Fire, also referred to as the Circum-Pacific Belt, is a path along the Pacific Ocean characterized by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.

5. a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action.

6. A fault is a fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock.

7. Magnitude refers to the general quantity or distance.

8. The intensity is the time averaged value of the Poynting vector for electromagnetic waves.

TYPHOON

A typhoon is a giant, rotating storm that brings wind, rain, and destruction.

TSUNAMI

The phenomenon we call tsunami is a series of large waves of extremely long wavelength and period usually generated by a violent, impulsive undersea disturbance or activity near the coast or in the ocean.

VOLCANIC ERUPTION

A volcanic eruption is when lava and gas are released from a volcano—sometimes explosively.

PACIFIC RING OF FIRE

The Ring of Fire, also referred to as the Circum-Pacific Belt, is a path along the Pacific Ocean characterized by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.

EARTHQUAKE

An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another.

FAULT

Faults are fractures in Earth's crust where movement has occurred. Sometimes faults move when energy is released from a sudden slip of the rocks on either side.

MAGNITUDE

Seismic magnitude scales are used to describe the overall strength or "size" of an earthquake.

INTENSITY

In physics, intensity of radiant energy is the power transferred per unit area, where the area is measured on the plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the energy.
