There are several types of storms:
- Thunderstorms ⛈️
- Blizzards ❄️
- Hurricanes 🌀
- Tornadoes 🌪️
- Dust storms 💨
- Ice storms 🧊
- Tropical storms 🌴

2. What do the strong winds of a blizzard do? ❄️

Strong blizzard winds:
- Create whiteout conditions reducing visibility
- Blow and drift snow across areas
- Can create dangerous snow banks
- May damage buildings and structures
- Can knock down trees and power lines
- Make travel extremely dangerous or impossible

3. Where does a hurricane start? 🌀

Hurricanes typically start:
- Over warm ocean waters near the equator
- Usually in tropical or subtropical regions
- Often in the Atlantic Ocean or Caribbean Sea
- Where water temperatures are at least 26.5°C (80°F)
- Over areas known as "hurricane nurseries" near Africa's west coast

4. What sometimes happens after it rains? 🌈

After rain, several things might happen:
- Rainbows appear when sunlight hits water droplets
- Puddles form on the ground
- The air feels fresh and clean
- Plants and grass look greener
- Streams and rivers might rise

5. Why is it important to know about storms? ⚠️

Knowing about storms is important because:

- We can protect our property
- We can plan outdoor activities better
- It allows us to make emergency plans
- We can help others stay informed
- It helps us understand when to seek shelter
- We can prepare emergency supplies in advance

3. Where does a hurricane start? 🌀

Let's explore in detail where and how hurricanes form:

1. Location Requirements:
   - Hurricanes form over warm tropical oceans
   - Usually between 5° and 20° latitude north or south of the equator
   - The Atlantic hurricane basin is a primary formation area

2. Essential Conditions:
   - Ocean water temperature must be at least 26.5°C (80°F)
   - Low wind shear (winds moving in same direction and speed with height)
   - High humidity
   - Coriolis force (Earth's rotation effect)

3. Common Formation Regions:
   - Atlantic Ocean
   - Caribbean Sea
   - Gulf of Mexico
   - Eastern Pacific Ocean

4. Development Process:
   - Starts as a tropical disturbance
   - Develops into a tropical depression
   - Strengthens to tropical storm
   - Finally becomes a hurricane

5. African Connection:
   - Many Atlantic hurricanes begin as tropical waves off Africa's west coast
   - These waves move westward across the Atlantic
   - Known as the "Cape Verde hurricanes"

№4. Match the column and make the word combinations:

Let's connect the words from both columns to make meaningful word combinations:

1. volcano → erupts
2. during the same time → injured
3. a tornado → shakes the city
4. an earthquake → sweeps the island
5. people can be → dead and wounded
6. things can be → damaged
7. the land there can → drought
8. during the war there can be → stars
9. during the battle there are → victims (those who suffer the result of the disaster)
