Ex. floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunami ,droughts and hurricanes.
Q2..Earthquakes occur due to sudden movement of the Earth's tectonic plates which results in shaking of the ground]]> 2021-02-15 02:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/neetinigam/G5ASSTWALL/wish/1202146636 Q[3,4] Advika , Meghana , Ishani , Atharv https://padlet.com/neetinigam/G5ASSTWALL/wish/1202146880 ans 3.

ans 4.  Floods occur due to the following reasons -
1. Heavy monsoon rains and melting of  glaciers due to global warming.
2. When a cyclone hits the shore.]]> 2021-02-15 02:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/neetinigam/G5ASSTWALL/wish/1202146880 Q[5,6]Haricharan, Nikthesha, Vaidehi, and Umika) https://padlet.com/neetinigam/G5ASSTWALL/wish/1202146956 A5) Cyclone is high winds accompanied by heavy rain. They cause flooding and widespread destruction in coastal areas. The strong winds often cause high waves called tidal waves.

A6) Following steps can be taken to prevent the occurrence of drought -
  1. Afforestation i.e. the planting of trees increases rainfall and reduces the incidence of drought. 
  2. Rain Water harvesting can increase the underground water level and help us in times of drought. 
  3. Dams on rivers store excess water in reservoirs. This water can be used in the times of drought.

Hots 1- A newspaper headline reads: 'Flooding in Delhi due to cyclone'. This headline is wrong because Delhi is not a coastal city, it is a land locked city. Floods due to cyclone affect the coastal areas. ]]> 2021-02-15 02:05:42 UTC https://padlet.com/neetinigam/G5ASSTWALL/wish/1202147088 Hots2 [ Aditi, Vaishnavi, Shibani, Nobuyuki ] https://padlet.com/neetinigam/G5ASSTWALL/wish/1202147108 HOTS 2-
We think that a severe drought in the northern plains will not only affect the northern plains but also the whole of India because the Northern Plains is the most fertile region of India. Grains and pulses produced in this region are supplied to the whole country. A drought in this region would severly affect the food security of the whole country.

There is food shortage during a drought because crops can't grow without water. Animals and plants die leaving us with no food.
Q8. The possible causes of the tsunami are underwater volcanic eruptions, underwater earthquakes or landslides. ]]> 2021-02-15 02:09:58 UTC https://padlet.com/neetinigam/G5ASSTWALL/wish/1202150846
