1. Describe a volcano and state its features.
2. Describe an earthquake and explain the cause of an earthquake.

Keyword Challenge
Below you will find a crossword puzzle. Your challenge is to find as many natural hazard themed words as you can in three minutes. You’ll find a three minute timer in the video above, so you can use this to time yourself, or use your own timer!
The aim of this task is to challenge you to think about which key terms you might already know, so you may spot lots of words or not spot many at all and that’s fine! This is only our starting point and at the end of the workshop you can come back and see how many words you can find and try to beat your original score.
