Which of the following choices names three natural disasters?
Responses
earthquakes, building demolitions, and floods
earthquakes, building demolitions, and floods - no response given
hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanoes
hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanoes - not selected, this is the correct answer
tsunamis, winter storms, and terrorism
tsunamis, winter storms, and terrorism - no response given
flu epidemics, landslides, and tornadoes
flu epidemics, landslides, and tornadoes - not selected
Flu epidemics, landslides, and tornadoes - not selected, these are not natural disasters.
The correct answer is "hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanoes." To determine this, we need to identify the options that are natural disasters.
First, let's go through the options one by one:
1. "Earthquakes, building demolitions, and floods" - Earthquakes and floods are natural disasters, but building demolitions are not. Therefore, this option does not name three natural disasters.
2. "Hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanoes" - This option includes hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanoes, all of which are natural disasters. Hence, this is the correct answer.
3. "Tsunamis, winter storms, and terrorism" - Tsunamis and winter storms are natural disasters, but terrorism is not. Therefore, this option does not name three natural disasters.
4. "Flu epidemics, landslides, and tornadoes" - Flu epidemics are not typically considered natural disasters, as they are caused by the spread of viruses. While landslides and tornadoes are natural disasters, this option does not include three natural disasters.
Hence, the correct answer is "hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanoes."
