龙卷风是空中的雷暴延伸到地面产生的旋转的气柱。最强烈的风力每小时超过400公里。几乎所有的龙卷风都发生在美国,从东南部的德克萨斯州直到北部的南达科他州。

美国平均每年发生800次龙卷风，造成大约80人死亡、1,500人受伤。最恶劣的一场龙卷风发生在1925年，波及到了美国的三个州：密苏里州、伊利诺斯州和印第安纳州。等到风停时，已有700多人死亡，2,700多人受伤。

Natural Disasters
Hurricane
Tornado

Lightning
Earthquake
Hurricane
Hurricanes are one of natures many destructive forces. The word comes from West Indian; huracan ("big wind"). Hurricanes are seasonal storms and are most prevalent in August and September. They develop from easterly waves, which can later develop into a tropical depression with winds up to 31 miles per hour. Later, it might develop into a tropical storm with winds up to 73 miles per hour, and eventually a hurricane. Thunderstorms often form with hurricanes and then produce waterspouts.
Hurricane
Hurricanes are huge tropical cyclones that originate over oceans near the equator, such as the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Usually they follow a parabola shaped path and sometimes do not reach any land at all. However, if they do reach land, destruction of property is imminent. Winds whirl in a counter clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Wind speeds of a hurricane range from seventy to one hundred fifty miles per hour. These winds blow circularly around a low-pressure center known as the eye of the storm. Hurricanes cause numerous deaths in addition to the millions of dollars of property damage each year due to the intense winds and huge tidal surges.
Hurricane
One of the most destructive elements of a hurricane is the huge waves that are formed because of the strong winds and heavy rains. These waves called a storm surge can rise several feet above water levels, especially during high tide. The worst hurricane in the United States was the one during the year of 1900 in Galveston Texas, where a hurricane swept a fifteen foot wall of water out of the Gulf of Mexico and into the city, washing away and killing six thousand people. About 90 percent of deaths during a hurricane are caused by drowning. Another devastating outcome of a hurricane is the mudslides that can follow. These are caused by the heavy rains and extensive deforestation in some areas. A good example of this was during the month of July 1998, when a huge mudslide that followed a storm in a little Himalayan village in India, killed hundreds of people
Tornado
Tornadoes are one of weathers most deadly and fascinating forces. Even though they are often limited by size (not being more than one kilometer wide at most) they leave vast areas of destruction and death behind them. They are also called twisters or cyclones.
Tornado
Tornadoes are characterized by violent winds that swirl in a counter clockwise direction north of the equator and clockwise south of the equator. Most people recognize them as a towering black funnel extending downward from the base of a large cumulonimbus cloud. It rotates at speeds up to three hundred miles per hour (480 KPM) or in some rare cases, even faster. In the center of the tornado, the air pressure is very low in comparison to surrounding air pressure.

The speed of the wind is the primary cause of deaths and destruction of property. Many people are killed by flying objects and debris (missiles). The funnel shaped cloud travels in a skip like movement, and usually never lasts for more than a couple of minutes in any one given place. It is because of this skip movement that the tornado leaves some areas wrecked while others a few yards away almost untouched.
Tornado
Certain parts of the world (i.e.. Australia, the Midwestern and Southern US) are more prone to have tornadoes. They also occur more frequently in the spring and summer months. Tornadoes usually occur as part of a severe thunderstorm and often come in advance of cold fronts, however, they can also occur (although less frequently) ahead of warm fronts, and even behind cold fronts.
Tornado
The greatest killer tornado in the United States occurred during the year 1925 in Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. It was the fastest and largest one ever recorded, with a destructive path two hundred and twenty miles long and one mile wide, and traveled at a speed of sixty miles per hour. It killed six hundred ninety five people and injured over two thousand.
Volcano
A Volcano is a vent in the earth through which hot gases and molten rock rise to the surface. A cone shaped mountain of erupted material around such a vent is also called a volcano. The name is taken from Volcano, an island north of Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea. The island was given its name by the ancient Romans because it spewed smokelike vapor, and was thought to be the home of Vulcan, their god of fire.
Volcano
A Volcano consists of a fissure in the earth's crust, above which a cone of volcanic material has accumulated. At the top of the cone is a bowl-shaped vent called a crater. The cone is formed by the deposition of molten or solid matter that flows or is ejected through the vent from the interior of the earth. The study of volcanoes and volcanic phenomena is called volcano logy. Most volcanoes are composite landforms built up partly of lava flows and partly of fragmental materials. Italy's Mount Etna, in Sicily is an example of a composite cone.
Volcano
In successive eruptions, the solid materials fall around the vent on the slopes of the cone, while lava streams issue from the vent and from fissures on the flanks of the cone. Thus, the cone is built up of layers of fragmental materials and flows of lava, all inclined outward away from the vent. Some enormous, craterlike basins, called calderas, at the top of long-dormant or extinct volcanoes, are eventually occupied by deep lakes, such as Crater Lake in Oregon. Some calderas are the result of cataclysmic explosions that destroy the erupting volcano. Others form when the subterranean magma chamber, emptied by repeated eruptions, can no longer support the weight of the volcanic pile above it. Therefore it collapses.
Lightning
Even today the phenomenon of lightning is still not fully understood. It is awesome and frightening to many and because of the mystery that surrounds it, several cultures have developed different beliefs about it. Some African cultures believe that when someone is hit by lightning that he/she was cursed even before the event. The Romans and Greeks believed that the gods were fighting and this was one of their weapons. Lightning kills and injures many people, starts thousands of forest fires, and causes millions of dollars in property damage every year.
Lightning
Lightning is characterized by the discharge of electricity between rain clouds or between a rain cloud and the earth. It is usually seen as an arc of extremely bright light which can be many kilometers in length, however, there are other forms as well. Accompanying the lightning is the giant roar of thunder. The thunder is caused by the expansion of air that has been heated by the lightning which then collides with cooler air, creating the sound of an explosion.
Lightning
Thunderstorms are the most common types of storms, and thunder itself, although frightening, is not dangerous. It is the lightning that causes the problems. Lightning and thunder occur together, however we hear the thunder after we see the lightning. Sound waves travel about one mile in five seconds, while light travels at more than 186,000 miles per second. Therefore, lightning is seen immediately when it occurs, and thunder is heard a little later.
Lightning
The different sounds of thunder (deep roar/loud crash) is caused by the different types of lightning, for example, the thunder that has the sharp crackle like sound is caused when the large trunk of lightning forks into many branches. (See types of lightning)
Earthquake
What is a earthquake
An earthquake is a sudden, violent shaking of the ground (earth crust) .
It is one of the most powerful things.
It shakes for long distances.
It is very frightening.
Some are a little shiver like a truck going by.
Earthquakes happen along the edge of the tectonic plates.
The plates move and push against each other.
Something snaps at the weakest point along a fault line.
Big shock waves go out from the focus where the shock waves start.
This can be up to 700 km. underground.
The epicenter is on the surface right above the focus.
Earthquake
What damage do earthquakes cause
Earthquakes cause damage to buildings, bridges, dams, and people. There can be a great loss of lives. It can also create landslides, floods and tsunamis. A tsunami is a Japanese word meaning ''storm wave.'' It can travel very fast, and the deeper the water, the faster they travel. As the waves come closer to shore, the breakers can be as high as a 12 story building. In 1986 in Japan, entire towns of 20,000 people were destroyed. There is a tsunami warning system that gives people a chance to get away from the ocean. A fault is a long crack in the earth's crust. There are plates which move in opposite directions. This shifting causes fault slippage. The ground shakes, rumbles, and moves. In a large earthquake the ground may move 6 meters. The soil and rock can cause landslides. Also it can cause flooding when the river banks and lakes have fault slippage. A tsunami in the open ocean can move at speeds of 800-970 km./hour. During earthquakes weak buildings can collapse. Fire may start if a quake breaks gas or power lines. Without power, communications, and transportation rescue teams have difficulty doing their jobs(共17张PPT)

题目：An earthquake in China
字数：100~120
The Chinese people will never forget the 1976 earthquake in Tangshan. On the late night of July 28, 1976, people were fast sleep. With a terrible noise, houses and tall buildings fell down. Water and electricity were cut off. There were fires and smokes everywhere. The whole city was almost destroyed and 250,000 people were killed in the earthquake.
An Earthquake in China
A large number of people were injured and many lost their homes. On hearing the news, people all over the country tried their best to help the people in Tangshan rebuild their homes. Tangshan has been made more beautiful than before.
龙卷风是空中的雷暴延伸到地面产生的旋转的气柱。最强烈的风力每小时超过400公里。几乎所有的龙卷风都发生在美国,从东南部的德克萨斯州直到北部的南达科他州。
龙卷风能卷起汽车、火车甚至是房子，把它们卷到旁边的街道——甚至能卷到邻近的城镇。它们能扯下猫背上的皮毛，拔掉鸡的羽毛。它们能毁掉房子，却把室内的家具留在原地。
美国平均每年发生800次龙卷风，造成大约80人死亡、1,500人受伤。最恶劣的一场龙卷风发生在1925年，波及到了美国的三个州：密苏里州、伊利诺斯州和印第安纳州。等到风停时，已有700多人死亡，2,700多人受伤。(共22张PPT)

注：Destroying 为现在分词在句中作结果状语．
