閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一詞。

Humans can’t stop natural disasters because we can’t stop the power(力量) of nature.

For example, a flood comes when there is too much water on the land. Sometimes, it can come after a big rainstorm at sea. Then too much sea water comes onto the land. Fast moving flood can hurt us. It can also hurt our homes. We can’t stop the water from coming, but we can try to stop the water by making a wall with sandbags. Sometimes, the sandbags help stop the water. Sometimes they don’t.

An earthquake happens where land moves. The land goes up and down and all around. The land shakes. We may be hurt by things that fall down in an earthquake. Falling things can start fires. We can’t stop an earthquake from coming. We can try to make our homes strong in order to prevent them from falling down in an earthquake.

A tornado(龍卷風(fēng)) is fast air that goes around and around over the land. A tornado can pick up everything. It can break anything in the way. A typhoon is a big storm with fast moving wind and rain. It begins at sea and can come onto the land. Its fast winds can hurt us and our homes.

We can’t stop the power of nature, but we can go to places where we will feel safe.
