Classify each description, photo of destruction, and preventative solution based on the catastrophic event it most closely represents.

Catastrophic events, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions, are caused by movements of tectonic plates in Earth's sublayers. These natural disasters can destroy Earth's surfaces and human-made structures and cause additional problems and dangers for people near them. While not all damage from these events can be prevented, some devices and strategies can be used to help reduce the effect. Think about ways people can protect their environments from damage caused by these catastrophic events.

Sure! Below are classifications based on the provided categories of catastrophic events: earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions.

Earthquakes:

  • Description: A sudden shaking of the ground caused by the movement of tectonic plates.
  • Photo of Destruction: Cracked roads, collapsed buildings, and fallen debris.
  • Preventative Solution: Building structures with flexible materials, implementing early warning systems, and enforcing strict building codes.

Tsunamis:

  • Description: Large ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
  • Photo of Destruction: Flooded coastal areas, destroyed homes, and debris scattered across beaches.
  • Preventative Solution: Tsunami warning sirens, evacuation routes, and community education on tsunami preparedness.

Volcanic Eruptions:

  • Description: Explosive release of lava, ash, and gases from a volcano.
  • Photo of Destruction: Lava flows engulfing buildings, ash clouds covering landscapes, and destroyed infrastructure.
  • Preventative Solution: Monitoring volcanic activity, establishing exclusion zones, and conducting emergency drills.
