Природни бедствия (Natural disasters)
В урока учениците учат названията на природните бедствия: earthquake, flood, drought, tsunami, avalanche, hurricane, landslide, volcanic eruption. Учат се да обясняват какво е всяко от тях и какви са последиците, например че цунами обикновено се причинява от подводно земетресение. Запознават се и с думи като lava, evacuate и Richter scale, с които могат да разбират новини и статии за бедствия.
Какво да запомним
- earthquake: земетресение, силата се мери по скалата на Рихтер (Richter scale).
- flood: наводнение; drought: суша.
- tsunami: огромна морска вълна, обикновено от подводно земетресение.
- avalanche: лавина; landslide: свлачище; hurricane: ураган над Атлантическия океан.
- to evacuate: да изведеш хора на безопасно място.
