Question

A boy notices that his village has not received rainfall for almost two years now leading to water crisis in the village. This is posing huge issues especially for the farmers who are unable to cultivate crops anymore. This situation refers to which of the following disasters?

• A. Water pollution
• B. Earthquake

Answer 1

The correct option is C Drought

In the above situation, there has been no rainfall for a long period of time and this has caused the disaster called drought. This lead to scarcity of water, because of which the water reserves of the village are almost exhausted and the people are unable to cultivate crops.
Floods, water pollution and earthquake are different kinds of natural disasters. Floods are caused due to heavy rainfall. An earthquake is the sudden shaking and trembling of the earth's crust.
