Question

Directions: Choose three disasters/problems related to climate change. tsunamis, hurricanes and earthquakes


For each topic submit the following:
* A brief (1-2 sentence) summary of each topic. in a 7th graders response

Answer 1

### Tsunamis
Tsunamis are huge ocean waves usually caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. They can travel across oceans at high speeds and, when they reach land, can cause devastating flooding and destruction to coastal areas.

### Hurricanes
Hurricanes are powerful storms that form over warm ocean waters and can bring strong winds, heavy rain, and flooding to coastal regions. Climate change can make hurricanes more intense and increase their frequency, causing more damage to communities.

### Earthquakes
Earthquakes are sudden shaking of the ground caused by movements of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. While earthquakes themselves aren't directly caused by climate change, the melting ice caps and rising sea levels can increase pressure on tectonic plates, potentially influencing seismic activity.
