  4. a
  5. (a) – (iv), (b) – (i), (c) – (ii), (d) – (iii), (e) –(v).
    1. Storms
    2. rain
    3. air pressure
    4. hurricanes
    5. heating.
  7. Moving air is called wind. At a slow speed it is pleasant, but when it blows at a high speed it can be destructive as it possesses a large amount of kinetic energy.
  8. Flood results in large scale damage to life and property. Severe injuries and breakdown of epidemics results from floods. Contamination of water causes shortage of drinking water.
  9. Ventilators are made near the ceiling for escape of hot air from the room as warm air is lighter than colder air. On heating air becomes lighter.
    1. Wind vane
    2. Lightning
    3. Thunder
    4. Flood
    5. Cyclone.
