A large number of people were killed when homes , office blocks and highways collapsed . Tidal waves are the results of an abrupt shift in the underwater movement of the Earth .

When a tropical storm reaches 120 kilometers per hour , it is called a hurricane in North and South America , a cyclone in Australia , and a typhoon in Asia . The word “ typhoon ” comes from Chinese : tai means “ big ” and feng means “ wind “ , so the word “ typhoon ” means “ big wind ”. We can usually predict when a volcano will erupt .

Hundreds of people died , but thousands were saved because scientists had warned them about the eruption . Tornadoes are funnel-shaped storms which pass overland below a thunderstorm .
